Through the Field

New version released as early alpha! I did this bc the game kinda works as a nice screensaver right now ><

Press 1-5 to equip/un-equip weapons, everything auto-fires right now. Once you reach the top it just restarts. Levels just go up for now...

Next up

Space Courier 2! Almost certainly what it's not going to be called! Early Alpha screensaver version released!

Use WASD!

Press 1-5 to equip/unequip systems

Press 'G' to activate auto-pilot and enjoy the screensaver!

All the other systems are still WIP =D

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..

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.

Happy #WIPWednesday!

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).

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!

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

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.
