Just a small update here, taking a bit of a break in development for the time being. Will still be working and maybe post updates or just some side projects!

I need to post some updates! Lots of changes to the actual game. Added alien projectiles, UI, some other things as well. Will post an update video soon I hope, for now here are some different colored tanks. Seriously thinking of redoing the tank later on in development.

Quick question, for other Devs, or gamers, is it better to post small updates every day or is it better to do fewer updates but with bigger more visible changes?
I’ve been figuring things out slowly but surely :)

So much has been added, but so much more needs to be done !
What are your thoughts? Anything stick out to you? #indiegamedev
Next update goals: Make aliens shoot back, make the ground look better (via parallax?), create a rough UI, make the power up do something to the tank.

Small update, I’ve been trying different things, deleting, adding, you get it. Small snippet of what I have so far. Made a Parralax background, found some placeholder music that feels decent(I’d love feedback on the music, is it too much?

Would love feedback if possible! Happy to answer any questions!
Got a free asset background off of itch. io and created sprites for an enemy as well as some projectiles. I still need to fix the barrel movement, looking to add some more to it later tonight. (Credit to Craft pix . Net)

Any comments or interactions will be deeply appreciated!
Update: new tank design has been created and put into a project, added lateral movement. Still trying to work out the movement for the barrel. Will likely move on and address that issue later on. Still need some more sprites later on.

Would love some feedback or thoughts on this if possible :)
Super Rough draft of a pixel art tank for an upcoming project. My first time trying pixel art so it looks a little silly. I want the final product to just be a simple tank with a ball turret on top.
