@WesleyStyles2 Thanks! Ive done as much as I can to eliminate slowdown without harming gameplay.

This week I've been working on the core (melee) weapon. It's now limited use and gives a score bonus for destroying an enemy. It feels more balanced but satisfying to use I think.

I've finished the background for stage 6, now to begin designing the enemies.

Making stages gets quicker since a lot of the enemy mechanics already exist, but creating unique combinations and enjoyable flow is the hard part.

@CarlosLpezGar18 Thanks Carlos!

I'm currently finishing off stage 5 (of 7). I will also be adding a caravan stage after the story stages are done.

A lot of improvements in performance too. If you tried the alpha demo you will notice them for sure.

It was so hot today that my CRT literally popped and died. It was also 30+ years old so there's that too.

@Jerocol1 Thanks! Frontier Force had a physical release last year, but may get another in the future.

I'm planning to release all my future (and some past) games physically too.

[BadComputer @badcomputer0]

I'm still developing another game, but if anyone would like to create Retro Achievements for Frontier Force then I'd be happy to help where I can.

There's already a page for it here: https://t.co/v4CJsB0V1h

@cledsonCledman Thanks!

@asbor Thanks!

@CarlosLpezGar18 No, only the melee weapon can destroy the green/leaf bullets right now.

I'm not against it but it would weaken the melee weapon to allow a long range weapon to do it too.

[BadComputer @badcomputer0]

@Fur0o0 Thanks Darren!

Our remake of Road Fighter for SEGA Master System/Mark III is now available.

See replies where to get it from the SMS Power homebrew page.

The last week has been spent replacing calculations for tables in hot paths that weren't needed now that a lot enemy behaviour is set. I also refactored collisions a little. Slowly it's getting there.

Have a good weekend! ☀️

In Razing Core the player's hit box is represented by the orange cockpit.

One way I found to make the hits feel more fair was to keep the bullet and player on screen for a few frames to make it clear.

@fran_sjb Thanks! Yes there will be a physical edition.
