Confined the first shmup I'v released

Sooo, i've just release my first game, a shmup named Confined, in the theme of the bullet hell jam I've missed, so I decide to make it anyway with almost the same time limit and theme constraint. I use Shmup Creator by Bulo Studio, release on steam. A soft capable of making vertical/horizontal/multidirectionnal shmup with no code. I was intrigue because I still don't know of to code (but I will learn properly). This small project mean a lot for me. It's not a good game/project, but it's the first I finished, put an end and release it online to have the feedback of every people who want to make one.

I already know what was nice to do in this project and what I need to rework. I think the pacing between waves of ennemies is interesting, with low waves and easy to avoid and with the end more high speed and multiple waves at the same time. But in the other hand, the character is not really nice designed because we're not sure where it can be hit or not, also the ennemie are not detached enough with the rest of the game to be fully visible.

The game is short to finish, really short. Basically you have to survive 1.5 minutes and that's it. I did not try to make longer level or multiple. Just one because I want to be sure what i'm trying to make. The next project I will make maybe a longer level or 2 small level. I still don't know.

The visual part of the game is the thing I'm the least proud of. I know i'm making no effort with this part. I still don't know how I will work, if I still try to draw like that, or try to making pixel art, or going 3D, or simply use asset from game asset. I know I don't have the talent right know (maybe never ?) to making good looking game all by myself, not because I don't have the skill but I really don't like doing that. I take so much time for that, so frustrating so I'm rushing the draw/modeling and voilà.

Also the audio part is inexistant, with a basic music from the soft and sound. Maybe I will try to make my own. I kind of like make some when I was making another prototype shmup. So we will see.

Thank's for taking time to read all of this. I don't know if it's interesting, but I think I will try to write after every project, at least for myself.
