6 NOV 2021:
- The player ship can explode (again)! This same effect was in the last version, but I initially had issues getting it to work in this new one. Fortunately I was able to figure it out. This is a huge step forward because the player explosion is part of the main game loop.
- You can also see the new Settings screen in action! Because of the framerate it's a little hard to see, but the keys at the bottom light up to correspond with the actual keyboard button you press.
- Throughout this long process of making Scrapship, I've spent HOURS pacing around and pondering different design decisions. That has paid off as I am very close to a final vision for how I want this game to look and play. Just this week I've made key decisions about Tutorial mode and the difference between Story and Arcade modes.
- I have working shield fighters, but they still need some adjustments so I've been using Blender to try and make better shield graphics.
- Scrapship now has over 7000 lines of code! What's the most code you've written? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
