Virvius Update (08/29/21)

Big update to the game visuals and focused on removing older assets put into the project from the start. This update is improved from most of faults from previous builds. The main focus was to initiate a better player experience and visual aspects.

I just built a new Weapon for Virvius. I called it the Photon Cannon. The weapon animates by opening up and the spinning rotor fires off plasma then closes after with the rotor spinning down. #shooter #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indie #indieDev #retro
