Thunder Kid
is a 3D Run 'n' Gun game (kinda in the vein of my previous game Cold Vengeance).  Basically, it's my attempt to take the "3D Run'n'Gun" idea from Cold Vengeance, and make the smaller, tighter, Megaman-influenced version of it.

I'm currently working on a prototype, and am currently on the second day of development.  My goal is to get the basic gameplay down as well as one test level by the end of 7 days.

Today I added some more enemies

Started experimenting with some level design.  Wanted to see how multiple tiered levels would work with this style, and I'm pretty happy with the results


Decided to try out making a boss battle.  I was having trouble deciding whether to go with big, stationary SHMUP style bosses, or smaller, more maneuverable bosses.  Decided to split the difference with bosses that are about 2X the size of the main character, and also widen up boss arena stages to give them a bit of room to maneuver.

Getting back to work on this.

Started working on a new environment and some new enemies:


Also a new boss:


Thunder Kid will be coming out in just 2 days!
