Practicing how to draw characters, it’s really fun to reference #ZZZ cuz their poses are so dynamic

I think it’s tradition at this point for Boss 3 to have a “falling wall” kind of pattern #wyverultra #danmakuunlimited #shmup #bullethell #IndieGameDev #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #wip

Played around w some charge and impact sounds, ended up sounding like Akai Katana anyway I think… #wyverultra #danmakuunlimited #shmup #bullethell #indiegame #indiedev #scifi

Was about to go crazy over a random stutter, turns out it was from hovering the mouse over the “X” in windowed mode (still alive just not much worthwhile to show lately)

Finally updated one of the earliest transitions with the second player #wyverultra #danmakuunlimited #shmup #screenshotsaturday #IndieGameDev #indiegame #scifi

Was going to fire up Steam to pick up games during the spring sale, ended up playing FTL again instead lol

It ain’t much, but I think the ancient settings launcher can finally be retired for the new game #wyverultra #shmup #gamedev #indiegame #opengl #videogame

I’ll need a 3rd party publisher for JP release and unfortunately my hands are full just trying to get Wyver Ultra finished, will probably look into it in the future tho for WU and my older games too

Learning how the function actually works by reading the documentation, what a novel idea (adjustWindowRect RETURNS an adjusted size, it doesn’t ADJUST it)
