Hi everyone, I'm glad to share my next "free time" project, which I'm temporarily referring to as Extra Skeet Shooting.
This project is heavily inspired by the skeet mini-game included in Track & Field (or Hyper Olympic, for Japan users), a well-known game I enjoyed during my childhood. It recently came up to my mind while sorting some old NES cartridges: its simple two-buttons control scheme (basically, shoot left or shoot right) should be a good one to translate into a modern "one/two taps" mobile experience, and that's what I'll try to do in the next few weeks.
An early version of the game is available online now, in case you're curious about what to expect from this project. I'm still using placeholder assets for the most part and there's still a lot missing in terms of UI, but the very core elements have been included already. Much like my previous project, Extra Skeet Shooting will be an HTML5 game with (very) little scope and you'll be able to play it for free in your browser.
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading this post, see you the next one.
