Hey folks,
I would like to share with you some progress. A week ago I've resumed development of the game and hope that I'll release it soon.
Originally the game was made in a week just for fun in order to learn Godot Engine. Now after a year of playing around with game development I decided that I can finish the game, add more interesting mechanics and fix some bugs. At this point the game has only one level. I'm planning to add two more levels, add new enemies, allies and boss battle. In this devlog I would like to cover some mechanic changes and performance tuning I recently made.
Here is some summary.
Fixes:
In order to improve performance in web build I had to disable 2d lighting. Looks like Godot isn't really good in real-time lighting computation in web builds. Moreover, game is now build using GLES2 which should also improve performance.
Mechanics:
The most thing I like here is the blow up chaining mechanic which opens interesting game design options.
Thanks for reading. I'll really appreciate if you spend several minutes playing the game and leave some feedback.
