Whoa it's been too damn long. The first enemy type is a drone that hangs out in the fields. Destroying one sends it flying into other objects. I created an auto-pilot, it's not smart, really just a debug tool that turned out to be a nice screensaver.

Meteeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrsssssss!!!!

EXP on left, health in the center, and engines on the right. As long as you're not using energy the engines recharge. Base weapon ability won't use energy but boosting and specials will consume energy, as will braking.

Space nukes!

I finally have this weapon working close to how I want. As with everything at this stage, there's plenty of tweaking to be done. I turned off the other weapons for this vid.

FUNDRAISER LIVESTREAM #SaveJim

Tweaked the background a bit, layers are more subtle and have varying opacity. I added particles to the laser hitting rocks & there's health and damage logic working there too. There's gems and tractor beam action too! Look as the number goes up!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Phaser beams on full!

New ability & auto-firing is working for both weapon types. Many more abilities in the pipeline too! I like the particle effects on the collisions so far but I want to add some color there. I'm getting sick of this grey ship too..

Created the game page!

Early asteroid development in this version. Lasers destroy them as well as them colliding with one another. I'm experimenting with a sort-of-random decision on which asteroid is destroyed in the collision (or both).

I decided to make another piece in the same style as yesterday’s 🎨✨ It turned out to be these cute little birds 🐦💛 #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #birdart #cutebirds #singingbird #wholesomeart #cuteart #cozyvibes #softcolors #pastelart #naturevibes

Levels now go up!

I tweaked the turning radius and bullet speed, still a lot of testing to do there but this feels much better. Next up is damage to the player from collisions and consuming engine power when firing
