Finally replacing the ancient player mech sprite I've been using, the punch sprites are still those old placeholders but the rest is new. Small mech + open cockpit is a fun combo #screenshotsaturday

Music is from Gurumin Also got the closed cockpit version just in case as well, maybe I can make it a variant players can select or just a situational version for specific sections

Can you think of a better combo than F2P gameplay and epic battles ready to go down? Sign up for early access now!

In case the frantic movement makes it hard to see it, here's a closer version

I love the portrait detail of the pupils getting smaller the moment you get inside the bullet pattern area (at first I thought it was triggered by standing next to the bullets) was this one trigger by doing the dash? I didn't see it when you did the first dash to the left

The nervous portrait is shown whenever you're near any sorta attack be it bullet or melee, the second variation is if you dash near one. Assuming that if the player's dashing near bullets, it's a defensive action so they're horrified

Not too sure yet but it shouldn't be too tricky, also this boss will show up with mooks at some point :)

*** Mega Parodius Sega Megadrive Update *** Lately I've been having some fun seeing how far we can push the Parodius game engine . This is not arcade accurate - just for testing, decreased bullet timers and upped the bullet count to see what would happen re cpu usage when things are made a lot busier ! Maybe something like this could be insane mode in the options etc. Since last update we are a lot more optimised under the hood . The C based sprite engine, particularly visibility checking was speedup , overall 25 % faster. Then re-wrote the sprite engine completely in 68k assembly , 30% faster again. It took about 3 days and 1500 lines of assembly , thankfully the gains were worth it. All these gains will be back ported to S.O.T.A also as its using the same sprite engine. Usage is around 19% of cpu per frame with a full sprite load - 33 % cpu left in the busiest frame currently . Parodius is using a write the sprite list every frame type engine , so priority and meta-sprite objects can be handled with ease albiet its still a bit slower than static allocation sprite engines such as the one in lufthoheit but this is a bit easier to code for in the long run. All collision checks are been done , we are using a spatial grid system to get the collision checks done faster than a brute force approach . To get to maximum sprite count destruction is disabled in the video. We hit 80 sprites onscreen in this sequence , the sprite counter is one the Left side. We use about 16 sprites in the top hud and water line , about 21 for player attacks / missiles / shots / options . Up to 35 bullets + enemies . No lazer usage here as the Lazers use zero sprites thanks to the raster tricks , this video is all about the sprites ! Improved the water line when the Catboss is active , as he is Sprites + Forground we are doing some tile rotation tricks eg bit scrolling to give the impression of parrallax at that point . Vector Orbitex has updated the stage 1 music again and has made things even higher quality , hes mixed pcm and fm channels together to create higher quality orchestral hits for example . Pyron has started converting assets from stage 2/3 , some amazing work there . Hes well ahead of me at present which is a good thing. Still lots of incomplete animations missing logic etc , its slow going with RL getting in the way haha and 2 other projects !! Still its fun !! #SGDK #SegaMegadrive #SegaGenesis #Parodius
