Oh yeah haha it's supposed to turn back to normal don't worry! And maybe the mystery of the reappearing shopkeep is part of the lore... who knows;) but no there isn't really any lore haha I just did whatever seemed cool for the designs of things! And I would love to give you a 1.0 build, but I haven't saved any backups TT-TT maybe I should start doing that!
Haha no worries:) the shield isn't particularly complicated or clever, it just draws lines between a bunch of points, and the coordinates of the starting point is offset by 0-360 degrees (the number is controlled by a timer) so it rotates like that! Hmm... I'm not sure, but lately I've been starting to get back into Gun Rounds development, doing a lot of bug fixing and balancing! So hopefully by winter 2021 or spring 2022:)
