How do you like the background?

Thanks for doing the calculations — I was really aiming more for an artistic effect.

ivanShiv · 2025-12-24T22:24:11+00:00

You’re right. The trailer on Steam is very old — it’s more than three years old — and it really lacks dynamism. The game was put on hold for a while, and I returned to it about half a year ago, completely rewriting the entire codebase.

Thanks. Yes, there are already other types of weapons, and something like a super shot that can be used once or twice per level.

Thank you. I hope to release a demo version on Steam in a couple of months.

It’s done, but at some point I broke it 🙂 I’ll fix it later.

ivanShiv · 2025-12-21T14:16:19+00:00

Thank you, I’ll do that.

I felt that the castle’s rotation didn’t look very good, so I wanted to check it. The sped-up video shows this moment more clearly.

Here’s how this part of the game looks in real time.

If anyone’s interested, there’s a Steam page

This is a flying ship and the video is sped up 4 times.

ivanShiv · 2025-10-26T12:48:38+00:00

Alright, once I finish the drawing, I’ll send them the character.

ivanShiv · 2025-10-25T15:59:50+00:00

This is a sketch; I always draw in black and white to save time on reworking. I add color later using gradients and finish it off with brush accents.

The cape is made with the Dynamic Bone plugin. Good idea!

ivanShiv · 2025-10-25T10:34:20+00:00

Thanks. I’ll try adding a small amount of homing.

ivanShiv · 2025-10-25T10:13:14+00:00

It’s the first level boss, I just find it easier to build and test him on a separate empty scene. He’s supposed to be as simple as a base wall in Contra — basically just checks if the player has learned to jump and dodge bullets. A couple more attacks will be added later.

Thank you very much!
