Aion: Gunslinger Player Created Design Chosen the Mookie Gun
In October, Aion asked players to send in their ideas for unique pistols or cannons for the new Gunslinger class--coming in Aion 4.0. Now the player-created design is unveiled: the Mookie Gun, by Liiga Smilshkalne, aka Rakesh from the Israphel server. Below is Liiga's concept art and a video of the Mookie Gun in action.
Here is the interview with Liiga more about her design, her character in Aion, and her other works.
Aion: How long have you been playing Aion? What class and level is your main character?
Liiga: I've been playing Aion on and off for a long time now, though most actively since about 2.5. My main character is Rakesh on server Israphel, a lvl 60 cleric, which is by far my favorite class in the game.
What was your inspiration for the Mookie Gun?
If memory serves me right, the idea for the Mookie Gun sprouted from late night chattering with a friend and legionmate Aedus over the Leave your Legacy announcement that somehow somewhere lead to the idea of a Mookie gun which absolutely stuck. The rest of it came naturally in the wee hours of the morning with the aid of a large cup of coffee.
Why Mookies?
Mookies are by far my favorite type of critter in the game. They're bouncy, have beady little eyes and never open their mouths if they have any, which just means they all hide some terrible terrible secrets inside. Possibly guns.
How excited were you to find out your design was chosen?
Extremely so! Best e-mail to wake up to in a long time. I've got Mookies on the brain just waiting anxiously to see how the gun will look in action!
