trying to do some level design. I think at least one speed focused stage would be good for the demo.

Landing on my answer to "What do Nightshift's tunnel-sections add to the Starfox-like shmup genre?" -- racing mechanics. Scored on speed. L/R-turns handled more like wipeout/f-zero. Enemie squads don't just threaten damage, but also trap you in "loops." 🎵 Salamander Deluxe OST (Konami, 1997) 🎵

Just a small little update on the game as we're now testing some collisions on the tube track and doing a first pass at particles for said hits. Still missing some of the bounce back and the electrical particle that wash over the vehicle but so far so good! #GetInTheLoop #gamedev #indiegame

In-game screenshot from Velocity Loop, Zero To Lightspeed, showing the race vehicle “Scale Shot” preforming a collision and grinding against the right hand side of the hardlight purple race tube wall with green particle specks flying off the wall and vehicle trailing back towards the camera.

Bit of an update / progress to show on a stable dev feature that might make it into the game and makes our design job way easier we have an official track editor! Been fooling around with it, bonus points to peeps that can identify the one homage track we made here. #GetInTheLoop #gamedev #indiegame

We have a little teaser of a new playable loop race vehicle that we've been working on. We'll keep the vehicle and its pilots name a secret for now but despite its looks this vehicle is a solid and dependable one, oh and YES there is a cockpit inside that globe! #gamedev #indiegame #GetInTheLoop

Heres a little bit of a teaser since we just finished greyboxing / working on a new vehicle for the game but hhhmmm seems a bit too big to be a pilot or Loop race vehicle, perhaps its for something more plot or dare we say "story" based... Stay tuned on development to see more and #GetInTheLoop
