Hello everyone!
I recently released my first indie game, Interstellar Sentinel, which I would describe as my love letter to shmups (shoot'em up, action arcade shooters) that I have spent a lifetime playing. This has been a passion project that I frankly got tired of waiting for someone to give me permission to design and direct. It also represents the outcome of a close community of playtesters and friends, many of which have never played a shmup. This last point is great because I wanted to create a fun intro experience (dynamic difficulty) for players discovering the genre for the first time.
Here is my most recent playthrough:
Here is a demonstration of the weaponry system (weapon switching is a core part of the game loop).
Here is the page (available on Itch & Steam)
