Galaxy in Conflict [v3.2.5 - Cold April]

Description
GIC is slated to be updated in the coming months. It is currently recommended to avoid this mod until the v4.0 release as any content present in this current version is likely to change and be fundamentally different on a core level.

GiC pits you against the environment in a frenetic mix of high-intensity ranged and melee combat. Fight with brutal methodical and mundane tactics, or blitz through with high-speed magic and melee!



From The Ashes, You Shall Rise
Fight your way through the madness, where every mundane man, youkai, and otherworldly entity hates each other as much as they hate you. Where the rules are molded at a moment's notice and death comes quick for all - especially for those unable or unwilling to adapt.

Highly Modifiable Evolved Weapons System
Employ an arsenal of lethal ballistic weaponry from the World Wars to the Cold War which can end a life in a mere couple of shots, as well as supporting an on-the-fly attachments system for various parts which can be scavenged or bought, giving your guns an edge on the battlefield. Need protection? Replace your sight with a gun shield. Need a support tool? Equip a corrosive grenade launcher. Want to shoot ice bullets? Put on an elemental barrel. You're not limited by just the gun itself.

Deliberate Melee System
Deliver close-ranged strikes with the vast armory of slow, but deliberate melee weapons inspired by the likes of souls titles, such as axes, halberds, and buckler shields. Bring the fight to the enemy in close-quarters with your light attacks, and dedicated heavy attacks.

Fight your way as you parry and counter-attack your foes with an integrated and unique mixture of ranged and melee weapons.

Unique Trinkets System
Equip trinkets to give yourself the top edge on the battlefield. Favor aggression? Equip a trinket that restores your health on a kill. Need more defense? Equip a hardlight shield generator to tank any hit for you every few seconds. Need allies? Equip one of the myriad of defensive drones and spirits to take down your foes for you. Want something gimmicky? Take damage and receive DMG RES for the next 5 seconds, but take +15% DMG after that expires. GIC's trinkets range from the simple to the absurd, and it's up to you to combine them.



Worlds Asunder
Inspired by the likes of Remnant: From the Ashes, Risk of Rain, Touhou, and 2d Shooters, GIC aims to combine them all into a cohesive package that encourages both melee and gunplay in a handcrafted high-intensity experience.

New trinkets, new weapons, new locales, hand-crafted mission-like dungeons, new armors, ruthless ranged AI, boss-like hand-crafted melee enemies, new consumables, new bosses, and much more await players who live for the thrill, the rush of life and death.

Where worlds collide, the magical and the mundane meet. Where the magical and the mundane meet, a new alliance is born.

Loot, Live, Last
Scavenge from the various locations to augment your survival, from stockpiles of food to weapons and medical supplies. Every place has its purpose, and knowing what's to be expected will keep you alive. Ballistic firearms require physical ammunition, but a quick search of the area can yield all manner of magical and mundane items to help one in their fight against whoever stands before them.

Dodge, Deflect, Die
The lethal nature of both ranged and melee combat means death is always around the corner for the inattentive, and its effects are best avoided, rather than simply absorbed. Utilize extensive cover and traverse the vast hand-crafted dungeons of GiC; or go full medieval and take up arms through the Perfect-Parry system that rewards timing with the complete avoidance of damage, no matter it be a bullet, rocket, or greatsword. Whatever options there may be: redirect the force.

All's fair in Love and War
There is no tier-gating or planet-scaling. All of GiC's content falls under Tier 1 and remains consistent regardless of where it appears. The only changes in difficulty are those that directly correlate to the unique challenges present within a planet. The lethal ballistic weaponry in GiC doesn't scale with player attack-power, and ignores standard defense values of armor on account of its mundane nature. Similarly, individual enemies die fast but can apply that same lethality to unprepared players as well. Greater warriors now populating the galaxy tend to fight within their own rules, however...

this is prob super rude but y could you add a item or smth that has my steam name in it please (sorry this sounds so rude and dumb dont insult me for this please LOL)

Caused as a result of poorly-coded inventory mods lacking a "general" category for any items that are not identified by the mod itself.

Carlucci's is a notorious one.

Yes.

Bad things. This is a large mod. It's going to add a lot of things. Make a backup of your game so that you can revert to it after uninstallation. Removing the mod after having its content added will cause issues.

Otherwise, there's no harm in just *not* getting this mod.

Thank you. Same as to Oub13, it might be 2 months from now, now that a couple things were shelved from the development plan, but take it with a grain of salt. There's still only so much I can develop in a day.
