What a difference 30 degrees makes! This week I took the basic Fighter model and angled it for a more 3D look.
I also used the Fighter to create a new ship -- the Shield Fighter. The shield is still a work in progress.
You can see both of these ships in the GIF above. What do you think of the new look?
But wait, there's more!
The Cruiser has always had a little notched area at the front which contains a gun. In past demos, I didn't make use of this and simply had the ship fire aimed projectiles at the player. Now, I've scrapped the aimed projectiles and replace that weapon with a beam. This is also a work in progress, but I'm hoping it will add a little more strategy to the game.
Finally, I just want to say thanks to all those here on Itch.io and Instagram and anywhere else that have given me feedback on Scrapship. Each comment (good or bad) has been most helpful in influencing changes to the game.
