The Gun Game 2: Screens, Info and Competition!
Find out everything about the sequel to 2009’s breakthrough hit, The Gun Game.
Hey everyone!
Some exciting news here if you’re a fan of ‘The Gun Game’. Both myself and Plumpman have been working on a sequel of epic proportions!
We’ll still fairly deep into the development stage right now but I’ll do my best to outline the most exciting new features as well as talk about how you can get your very own poster design into the game!
We listened to everyone’s opinions, comments and reviews, and although we couldn’t reply to every review, we did do our best to read as many as we could and we thank you for your input. So here’s where we’re at right now. (Please remember things are subject to change, i.e the inclusion of more guns etc.):
- NEW! Avatar Creation – Customise your character’s appearance, and choose between male and female sexes.
- NEW! Personal Profile – Name your avatar and keep track of your experience points, perks and stats in the new profile screen.
- NEW! Experience and Perks system – Earn experience by carrying out jobs for Fat Bob and unlock special perks to help you make mince meat out of the new destructible objects. Perks are unlocked when you reach certain levels in your Gun Game career.
- NEW! Fat Bob’s – Visit gun-nut Fat Bob’s shop and check out a gun’s appearance, price and vital statistics before buying it. Check out the ‘Jobs’ tab and accept missions from 3 difficulty levels; Rookie, Veteran and Elite, as well as numerous creative puzzle challenges.
- NEW! In Depth Tutorial – Learn the game inside out by playing it under the supervision of brand new character Fat Bob; your very own gun and job-giving extraordinaire. Various tooltips appear throughout the game when you explore previously untouched options.
- NEW! Money System – Spend your hard earnt cash on a larger range of bigger, better guns.
- NEW! Weapon Upgrade system – Save up enough money and buy awesome upgrades for all of your guns including silencers, reflex scopes, extended magazine attachments and loads more. And yes, we didn’t forget the grenade launcher 
- NEW! Gun Categories – The regular pistol, SMG and Shotgun categories make a return alongside all new Light Machine guns and vastly improved Assault Rifles.
- NEW! Improved Graphics – From your trigger finger to the exploding objects; everything looks and feels better and smoother.
- NEW! Merits System – Experience the internal fuzz of hapiness as you clock up another of the game’s great merits, all represented by personal icons and accompanying merit screen to check up on your progress.
- NEW! General Improvements – A new options screen allows you to adjust how many on-screen objects are displayed, the graphical quailty, screen brightness, cursor colour, sound effect volume and music volume level, whilst in-game we’ve provided the elusive reload button.
- NEW! Amazing Custom Soundtrack – Created by my fellow bandmate and Captain Crash music pimp Morgan King, The Gun Game 2 will feature all new tracks with biblically epic proportions.
I can’t at this moment confirm how many weapons the game will feature as I’m still making them, but I can tell you some of the ones that are included! I’ve even designed some of my own this time around.
Pistols:
- C3 MKI (Custom)
- Glock 18
- H&K P30
- P22
- Walther P9
SMG’s:
- Razor SI (Custom)
- H&K mp40
- SMG PK
- Ingram Mac 10
- H&K mp7
- Tommy Gun
Assault Rifles:
- AK 47
- FN FAL
- NATO FL SCAR-N
- H&K G36c Compact
Light Machine Guns:
- M249 Saw
Unfortunately thats all I can reveal right now, but there will be more weapons including yet to be confirmed shotguns. Remember that all these guns are also fully upgradable, so it should keep us all going for a while!
Moving onto the perks. As you progress through the game you will unlock new abilities that you can equip, and when used in conjuction with an upgraded gun, nothing can stop you!
Perks:
- Steady Hands: Eliminates gun recoil.
- Eagle Eye: Greatly increases shooting accuracy.
- Bullet Time: Slows everything down so you can react faster!
- Exploding Bullets: Deal more damage by making your bullets explode on impact.
- Double Bullets: Shoot two bullets with one pull of the trigger.
- Experience and Cash Multiplier: Earns you more money and experience if you complete a level with this perk equipped.
Now here is the part where YOU can get involved!
Scattered throughout the game are all kinds of posters featuring designs of inside jokes and Gun Game 1 refferences. They all add up to make part of a merit that players can unlock. I thought I’d give artists the chance to get their handy-work in the game by making the poster a community activity.
I’ve uploaded an .fla template of the poster in Flash 8 format so anyone with Flash version 8 and upwards can open the file. All you have to do is leave the locked layers as they are, and draw your design on the ‘BG’ layer. Feel free to add other layers above the ‘BG’ one, as long as you leave the others how they are.

You can refference anything, but please don’t make it rude. You can enter as many designs as you like and I’ll pick a few winners to put them in the game.
Upload a picture of your design(s) and post the link to your uploaded design in the comment section of this very blog post.
I’ll get back in touch with you if the design will be in the game! Please understand though that this is a voluntary thing and no payment is inferred or offered!
I’d love to keep all you guys updated on the game, so if you’d like to know more information about the game, I will be updating my blog regularly with screenshots and exclusive info, and I’ve set up a Twitter account because I hear that’s a good way of staying in touch with friends…so please feel free to hit me up on that.
