It's a good sign when just shooting and dodging around already feels this fun!

@M_Knight_Jul @colossal_cedric I love this idea! Awesome work

[Amazonian Shaman - A 2D Horizontal SHMUP @LightningGenie]

@MH_Wishengrad That's a good point. I haven't quite decided on how the final HUD will look yet. It'll look a little cleaner by the time I finish the build.

I'm implementing a chain scoring system! This will be one a few different multipliers in the game to increase your score.

Spending the weekend implementing a scoring system! It'll have a few different multipliers and ways to grow your score

This weekend, I added in some additional special effects and worked on the warning layer in the background behind the trees, so you can see what enemies are coming up before they spawn. #GodotEngine #indiedev #gamedev #shmup #gameart

@Skillvincible @AlariannGames I just looked up that character. He looks awesome! I'll check out some his comics

I'm spending the day making new boss bullet patterns! This one has two satellites that I'm playing around with to create various patterns.

I'm giving my first playable build out to the folks who have already played the previous builds. After a few more builds, I will invite everyone who signs up to the e-mail list at https://t.co/MpEuAchoZW to assist with play tests 🎮

@XAPHYRA_ I went from Monogame to Godot. I chose it over Unity because I like the way Godot's Scene/Node architecture is setup. It makes development easier to think about, imo

[Amazonian Shaman - A 2D Horizontal SHMUP @LightningGenie]

Added in spawn animations for these ghost enemies 👻 Before, they were just spawning out of no where. I realized it was important for them to telegraph their presence before they spawn!

A much improved background brightness feature compared to the old version I had to scrap.
The video shows how it looks like with 100% (which is the default), 50% and even 0% brightness for the background elements.

@M_Knight_Jul Very cool! Varying the brightness of the background is an excellent feature!

@ArcapCreative I'm currently working on the special attack mechanics that will give you a variety of different attack options. More details will come for that soon

[Amazonian Shaman - A 2D Horizontal SHMUP @LightningGenie]

I just added in a couple of updated death animations for two of the enemies! ☠️
