New Build: Itano Circus


So no major features this build. I spent most of my time working on little improvements across the board:

A lot of it was optimization and content improvement. Here I did some experimenting with wakes. They now trail based on speed rather then spewing out the back, it makes trails longer and a lot more elegant looking.

Here’s the full lsit of changes:

-Added reloading animation for all multi-1 swarm misisle launchers.

-Changed wake behavior so it ‘drops’ behind the parent object.

-Added a new damage indicator system. Icons appear aroudn a part to indicate status. Green means more or less functional. Red means about destroyed.

-Added a list in the powerup selection screen between waves that shows the player’s already-selected genes.

-Made the player ship update after every powerup selection in the genes select screen.

-Fixed an issue where a ship that gained a lot of plates and was thus slower after an upgrade would take absolutely forever to slow down because its gaiend speed was based on the lighter pre-upgrade ship.

-Improved wake drawing efficiency by adding a simple screenspace test so wake primitives won’t be drawn if they’re too far offscreen.

-Improved multi-2 swarm missile launchers so they launch more missiles. May be a bit overpowered but will adjust later.

-Improved the AI of medium missiles (missile+misisle powerups) to be more intelligent thenn swarm missiles.

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)
