Here is a little update...

I have added 6 new attackers to the Galaga Essentials. I was mixing up the art from our spacepacks 1 and 2 in combination with the Galaga pack to prototype this project but with the new sprites it will have a more consistent look.

I also updated the other asset packs and added a tool that I have named the SHMUP Builder for Unity. I wrote the docs for it but I will add tutorial videos in the next couple of months. More about the SHMUP Builder here.

And I als got around coding a new boss and this is now included with Space Pack 2

I have added tons of new features "under the hood" and got carried away (you probably know how that goes).

This means updates to the framework too so I will upload the news version to the Unity store as soon as I have updated the docs on it.

One thing I have added to the game is a Space Invaders-ish part and again it amazes me how brillant Space Invaders actually is.

I will post some stuff soon...

Anyway, here is how the show in the game looks now:

I like those games where you enter an upgrade screen or shop and the game is not paused but slowed down so I added this option too.

Here is a first look at the (ugly but functioning) shop and I will ask Peter to create some nice skin for it:

I wanted to expand the choice of weapons for the player and I wanted something powerful.

Most upgrades happen by collecting them while playing but I am also going to create a shop because the player can also collect coins.

Once the player collects enough coins he or she can use them to buy a weapon in the shop.

I am in the process of adding 3 new items and 1 of them is a rotating energy beam showing in the animation below.



I think it looks pretty awesome
