Fun little game from 1983 with music from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a nicely integrated with the game action.

What other old game do you think has great non-original music?

The importance of a cover

How much time and effort do you spend on your game's most important piece of art?

Why are not all games Play-In-Browser?

Technologies such as WASM, WebGL, web sockets and Gamepad API are supported by all major browsers. Consider the security and convenience benefits.

Infinite ammo in a shooter game?

1) Player has infinite ammo, Autofire on at all times
2) Some cost involved (cooldown, limited ammo, ...), Gun fired manually

Any reasonable third option?

I like to pull the trigger myself, but at no cost it's less gratifying.

What is this boss from 1981 doing in a WWI era game? Makes sense because it's a 1980s retro game? Does it have to make sense?

Sometimes, instead of a WWI era biplane, an iconic 1980s gadget will fly by. Like a Rubik's cube or a BMX bicycle. 🤭 One random fly-by in a hundred or so.

Keep a level locked until all previous levels are completed?

It is standard behavior but I'm leaning toward keeping everything open.
Are locked levels motivating or just condescending?

Features worse than useless

"Find References in Project" in the Unity Editor does not seem to work. It yields zero results for a texture that is definitely used in the project.

Not only is it not helpful, it makes me think I can safely delete the file. 🤔

First person camera view added!

Why? Because I wanted to defeat the Red Baron in first person. And I loved it! 😁 🎯

Silent failure. The worst kind.

I am introducing joystick and gamepad support to my Unity game. Seemed like an easy job at first.

Ever struggled with the Unity Input System? Compare notes: www.propspin.org/blog/input/

Object pooling in a Unity project?
Good idea! Recycled bits and polygons are cheap.

There are a few things to consider before you jump into it, though.
