Concepts for new artifacts

I'd be curious to see artbrains/artbutts considering those are the most likely organ transplants, the latter being more amusing, the former more practical
Eyes too

[Frank_Stein]

Eyes could be fun. Imagine a two part artifact where one half replaces your eyes, and the second half is a handheld size item that becomes your vision point. Carry it around to see what you're doing, or stuff it somewhere else to spy on someone.

I tried making eye artifacts.


I'm not exactly too fond of how these turned out.

 For some reason these don't really feel like artifacts, I removed the optic nerve on most of them so that they'd actually look little baubles that you'd find lying about, but even then they feel off. I also think that last two probably already exist as small artifacts, whoops. I feel like these would be best for strange merchants or QM shenanigans instead of being in the random artifact pool.

Edit: I need to look around these threads for some more things to try and make, but most things have problems with them. Armor, AKA clothes, takes a million sprites and is in general a pain to sprite. Artifact brains have the strange problem where everyone says that they're neat, but they're not sure how to implement them into game-play, (even eyes have this), so there's not much motivation to making it if no ones quite sure how they work. Butts I could probably do, but then I find that I'm asking myself the question of if I want to spent two and a half hours making pixel asses for a 2d spessman game.

Of course you want to spend two and a half hours making pixel asses for a 2d spessman game.
Anyway, I think the artbrain thing ties into the Alien Mind Unit concept from the first post, but then that could just be anything that looks like a brain/core (since you shove them into a corpse to select a ghost).

I feel like artifact eyes should do things like give you access to the camera network, do some cybereye stuff, let you shoot eye laser/bullet/magical bullshit. Other than that they should have a chance of acting like normal eyes, making you permanently trip balls, or hallucinate. Some might straight up give you welder/flash immunity so you don't need to wear protective gear.

-could let a human interface with electronics remotely the way cyborgs do
-various functions of docgoggles, reagent goggles, thermals, mesons, ghost goggles
-alternate way to access mindreading, xray vision, telekinesis
-translate mysterious alien documents/magic runes/whatever
-know the functions of different apc/door/machine wires just by looking at them
-see the little red t's and r's and shit at the corner of random ppls sprites
-look up ppls fingerprints code on the spot just by examining them edit: unless their arms have been cut off

Translate the writing from the odd pen.

only if only one of these is accurate and the rest are random innocent people
