First Log

Before I say anything else, here’s a quick rundown of what happened before I started recording progress here.

The game idea came to me randomly; I was like, “What if.. Fighting game, but.. ‘Dear god, too many projectiles’?”

I quickly made a simple demo with a player, an enemy, and the ability to shoot.

I prioritized making even the small prototype satisfying, and so I added some screenshake (which took some adjustment so it wouldn’t just be bothersome) as well as some cool particle effects. (I also made the attack hit noise slightly different each time so it wouldn’t get bothersome.)

Afterwards, I decided to make a simple dash/mini-shot combo for both desperately getting out of the way of attacks and getting a little extra damage in. The little pellets it shoots are limited, only regained via use of your primary attack.

I plan to re-add this previously unused sprite for the dash.

Anyways, that's it. Bye.

P.S. Is there a way to put video-format files in your devlog? It sucks having to just attach it because people will think it's a virus
