While playing a lot of Enter the Gungeon lately, I was wondering whether or not there is a 3D bullethell game.
After a little search, the best example i found was a 2.5D, which took worse from both worlds...
I wanted to make a 3D bullet hell game, where you need to shoot an enemy from a different floor in a battle to survive.
For a start i decided that the movement needs to be rigid, yet i wanted the ability to be flown from an explosion, so i tried making a momentum-less movement system with a sub system that contains momentum. After a bit of experimenting i made something I'm kinda happy with, while on floor you can move rigidly but mid air you can be thrown across the map.
The first problem I thought of was not seeing behind you, since the game is aimed at being a Third Person Shooter kinda game, So i added little arrows that points toward all the bullets in a 10 Units radius ( will probably change but that's a good start ).
I made a quick demo to see if there is any reason to even continue pursuing my dream, and decided to start a devlog about it.
The demo contains a simple level with 3 enemies and 3 floors ( actual floors not level ).
