There's a baseline drift developing action games where you get used to it in waves and have this tendency to want to make things faster. Whenever I get those thoughts, I load up generic FPS maps to remind myself, no, like, our movement is already insane. #indiegamedev

Added a scan mechanic with the intention of opening-up non-combat exploration objectives, but it also works with enemies as a "get up close and dodge" skill-check. #indiegamedev

Post-stream: updated the BulletManager to not only use framerate-independent time, but do sub-frame position sampling for higher-precise patterns. #ScreenshotSaturday #shmup 🎶 Venus Wars OST (Joe Hisaishi) 🎶

Finally replaced my placeholder HUD with something more intentionally designed. Tempted to illustrate diegetic cockpit greebles, but KISS for now with simple shapes and a distortion that gently implies a curved windscreen. #ScreenShotSaturday
