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...

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!

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..

Been awhile, but oh yes I now have MENU > SELECT VESSEL > PLAY THE DARN GAME working! Hopefully I can upload this version tomorrow. todo: make the weapons work in an awesome & satisfying way.

The video looks a bit choppy, screen record on a Chromebook

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates The Amazing Digital Circus! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

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).

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

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

More stars and more galaxies!

I draw the background on load & the maps are fixed sizes. You make your way from one end of a zone to another. eventually I'll add hand-drawn pieces the randomness

Should I make a screensaver, or something for LlifeAt?

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.
