Hi shooters!

From today im starting posting Devblogs, that will contain ideas that I want to add to SSS77

New Enemies

First of all the game is lacking enemies, so I have couple of fresh ideas

• Space Leech

  • This creature sucks to your ship and slowly damages it by crushing it

  • You need to quickly shake your ship in orded to get rid of it

  • Here are two concepts of it:

    
    

    Personally I prefer the green one

• Spiketrap

  • Spins and shoots small projectiles that deal 0.5dmg(Yes, im introducing half-hearted Armor points)

  • You can’t block his projectiles

  • Penetrating Bullets don’t affect him

    

• Healing Drone

  • Heals “living” enemies every couple of seconds

  • Moves close to top of the screen

  • Tries to avoid projectiles

  • Big amount of HP

    

• Slimetopus

  • Shoots slow slime projectile that will cover your screen when you get shot

  • This is rough idea of how it would look, people that were playing Alpha version can be familiar with this image ;P

    

These enemies probably will be a cool addition to current waves, they won’t appear as a separate wave, rather they will randomly spawn during other waves!

New powerups

In game there are only 6 powerups as of 1.3.0
I want to add more and spice up the game!

First of all there should be 2 slots for powerups:
-Weapon Powerups
-State Powerups

• Flip powerup(State)

  • Negative “powerup” that will flip your relativeness of mouse position to screen position

    

• Zephyr(Weapon)

  • Blows a wide wave that pushes enemies bullets towards them and deals damage

    

• Randomizer powerup(Weapon)

  • This powerup randomizes weapons every 0.5s for couple of seconds

    

• Magnet powerup(State)

  • This will force your ship to attract falling powerups

    

A new way to collect some of the powerups will be storing them in your ship, for ex.

• Shockwave powerup(Inventory, one use)

  • As the name says it blasts a shockwave that destroys every enemy on the screen and gives you a second of break from encountering next enemies, costs a lot of energy

    

Energy is a new concept; it will charge slowly over time, you will be able to collect powerups that give some more

Customization

So, I added skins to the game lately and this is basic way of customizing your ship, here are some new things I want to add:

• Music tracks

  

  • My brother gave me lately an idea for getting Music from Lootboxes, and I think that this is a brilliant idea! :D

• Backgrounds

  • Special backgrounds acquirable from Lootboxes

• Challenges

  • Cool addition would be challenges that would give you a unique skin or other customization option for completion

New backgrounds

I think that the same purple color with speeding stars can get old after some time, it’s time to add a few random backgrounds! :D
These are free, but as i said before you will be able to get more from lootboxes

That’s everything for the first Devblog! Hope you have a great day and you are excited about all the ideas, give your feedback in comments ;)
