I've started on a new project again. Yeah, I know. I'm still getting a feel for what I am and am not capable of, but a SHMUP seems like a reasonable place to start. Reasonable, at least, compared to a 2D open-world Metroidvania action-platform-adventure-RPG featuring free-flying and hand-drawn graphics and elemental transformations and...I got a bit carried away last time, in other words.
I don't have much of anything so far, so here's...this. It's a quick little control demo thing where you can play around with one of the five or so planned ships.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/7r4c3xun78mx6xv/MSB.exeControls:WASD keys: Basic movement.
Left mouse: Fire lasers (Can sort of be aimed with the mouse; will only travel 20 degrees upwards or downwards from the ship, though. You'll get what I'm saying when you try it.)
Right mouse: Fire homing missiles. Well, they WILL be homing missiles once they have something to home in on.
Mouse wheel up: Increase engine power.
Mouse wheel down: Decrease engine power.
Shift: Gravity Aileron - A quick aileron roll (not a barrel roll) that can be used in conjunction with WASD to change directions abruptly.
Ctrl: Retreat Roll - A high-speed maneuver that makes you dash in the opposite direction of the cursor.
Also have some character art because honestly why not? And yes, Kiku is still technically a thing, albeit a slightly different thing.
