Hello.

I promised a weekly update so here it is. I've done some work on the game but as usual I didn't have too much time for it. Anyways there's some progress and that's always good news.

I've been working on some pure gameplay mechanics. When I decided to let the player only control the guns I had to figure out how to make it fun. So far you can get overrun by enemies and even if you're an awesome shooter they'd destroy you. So i had to figure ways to let the players defend themselves. I'll have to make a few changes in the code but with weapon and ship upgrades it should make sense. I'm also planning to force some basic strategies from the player. I'll be going into details soon hopefully.

I also changed/improved some explosion gfx and it's a first step to unifying the whole graphic style in the game.

I've been working on some particle stuff this week and by mistake I made a very awesome effect. I went further and created some more effects. They're all customizable and look pretty crazy IMO.

Press left mouse button to focus. Press space to switch effects. The cursor is the centre of the effect. Have fun! CLICK!

I used the 'gravity point' effect in-game earlier and it totally rocks. Imagine tons of wreckage , fire, smoke, sparks etc being sucked into a hole.. epicness. The possibilities are endless, the game will be very fun to look at and play.

Drop me a comment (WYK) and see you in a week!
