Today’s progress report has some good news and some bad. First off, let’s go with the good: I’ve added a few more features. There is now an enemy spawning portal as seen in the screenshot below. They’re right now set to spawn up to ten enemies total, largely to prevent farming. Additionally, when aiming, the character will waver, adding more intensity to the game.

Unfortunately, the project is far behind the expected schedule. Due to the current (financial) circumstances, I’ll be switching focus to other projects that can be completed in a shorter amount of time first, before returning to this project. The hope is to have at least a day or two of progress each week. Sorry for the terrible delay.

Progress has been pretty slow, but we’ve now got a set of actions and animations to show the player is hurt, as well as adding particle effects for the enemy dying. While all of it is still a work-in-progress, the enemy exploding on the player is perhaps the most interesting visual effect:

Anyways, a lot still needs to be implemented for the enemies. For one, they do not currently have one-hit weakpoints, which makes their 6-hit health points (an entire load-out of your pistol before reloading) absurd. Their hit animation that the enemies play every time the player successfully scores a hit is not very juicy yet. And a lot of sound effects are still missing. There’s still a lot of material to cover, so stay tuned!
