Deus Ex Machina in an exploration into a fan remake and modernisation of the original in Unity, redesigning systems and game mechanics to conform to modern iterations of the franchise and the genre as a whole. Not designed to be an exact remake of the original but instead and evolution of it with the intention being at this early stage to produce a reimagined Liberty Island as a portfolio piece.
I was never really a fan of the concept of a wrist mounted crossbow. The size is too small to be all that effective and the device lacks the ability to have a magazine allowing for rapid reloads of multiple bolts instead of individually placing in a new bolt after each shot.
I ran across Tim Bergholt's Crossbow Pistol Artstation.com for Splinter Cell Blacklist and think the whole concept is a far superior solution to a mini crossbow. It's still small enough to be considered a pistol, is foldable for concealability and uses a magazine. This example utilises a modern pulley system to greatly increase the power over a conventional variation.
