A Post

I've been sorta busy these past few months because this is my last year of high school and I'm working on my college applications. This has significantly slowed down the development of the projects I'm working on and it's probably gonna stay like this till somewhere in June/July.

That being said, I haven't completely stopped working on game development. An update to the Shooter game is really close to being finished, I just need to make a few more sprites. To be honest, drawing the sprites for my games actually takes a lot more time than the programming, so a lot of the projects I'm working on are currently waiting on me to finish drawing the ui or the sprites.

Currently my top priority (other than school) is trying to improve my drawing skills so that I can finish some of the projects that are currently paused.

So, until I get back to my usual game development schedule I'm thinking of maybe posting a few teasers for the stuff I'm working on.

Also, one more thing, I'm planning on changing my blog name some time in the future, mostly because QSAR is an actual thing in like chemistry or something, and I don't really like that so I'll be trying to come up with something more unique.

See ya later!

ShooterGame Version 0.28.14

Okay, the new update for ShooterGame is finally here! There are a lot of changes in this one.
I originally planned on posting an update after I add the boss fight, but it was taking too long and I noticed that I've made a lot of changes since the last version I uploaded, so I decided to upload a new patch now, and to leave the boss fight for later.

Mainly I did a lot of balancing and also the difficulty setting now works again!
Enemy bullets now have different COLORS to make it easier to navigate when there are a lot of enemy types on screen. I am a bit concerned that this might have the opposite effect of the intended. I need feedback on whether the new bullet colors help you or if they just distract and confuse you.
Also I added a new enemy type. This one shoots a laser at you every few seconds. I'm still not sure if he is balanced properly so please say if he's too difficult or too easy.

Changes:
-Health and key pick ups now happen automatically without you having to press E
-Your bullets now move faster
-Balanced the health and movement speed of enemies
-Added new enemy type with a lasergun
-You can no longer pick up the double gun (for now)
-Added more colors to bullets
-Changed the bullet sprite to be smaller and less round (the hitbox is still the same size)
-Some enemies now stop moving while they shoot
-Removed locked doors because they were causing problems that I can't fix until I add the boss (they will return)
-Changed the sprites for doors
-The number of enemies that spawn per room now depends on the difficulty choice in the settings
-Chasers now only spawn in corners of rooms
-Changed the sprite of chasers

Update thingy

Hello guys, I didn't post anything in a while so I thought I should hop on and say hi.

I haven't made much progress on the ShooterGame since the last patch.
I plan on having the next patch in a week or two.

Also, take this early Halloween illustration I drew today.

Edit: Here is the version without the shading, which I like more, because I suck at shading.
