Focusing on the hostiles. Helicopters are next - then the studio is focusing on completing the new Demo v3.03 - the level is a bit shorter and much more action packed. 👽 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #action #scifi #space #earth

188 KB of the game. No textures, no meshes, no sprites, no samples, no assets at all except for the voice-over audio which is +2.8 MB. An experience that is short but complete in every aspect, looking, feeling, and sounding pretty decent, can be condensed in under 3MB. #gamedev #indiedev #horror

The mechanics have been overhauled in favor of better gameplay and balance. All the extra movements and turns from the pathfinding made for too much noise. The reduction means clearer gameplay and better performance! 👾⚖️🧑‍🔧 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #scifi

The balancing requires more clarity! So here are some very clear flight path mechanics - more focus on dog-fights, special abilities and of course large ships! Time to take a step back and redo the whole balancing process. 🏗️ #ufo #uap #indiedev #gaming #gamedev #shmup #scifi

Getting into the details of the balancing. The mechanics are resembling a classical SHMUP more. A fragile player evading danger and repositioning to the best offensive position. 🛸 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #action #scifi #earth

Gameplay idea a force field as an emergency blow that demagnetizes robot stamina, but repels anything that might be dangerous. And then I realized that I had to do separate parts of the scene that would hide something and I had to knock them down by force #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhhh...
