20/09/2017 Progress Report

What's Working:

• Player can now obtain other firing types that modify the firing mode.
• Players can now pick up and use special limited use weapons, currently implemented ones are a laser that instantly destroys anything it hits, and a freeze shot that temporarily freezes anything it hits.
• Additional tweaks to various things.

What I Need To Work On:

• More enemy types
• More weapons and power ups
• Visual feedback from the HUD on various things
• Making more levels
• Lives system

Other Things I'm Doing:

• Considering what to name the game
• Going to do some 3D models for the player and such soon
• Visual graphics and images
• Rewriting the object spawning systems

Future Things:

• Boss fights
• Checkpoints
• Pausing
• Sound and Music
• Art assets
• Controller support
• Saving/Loading
• Graphics/Gameplay/Sound options
• Difficulty levels
• Bonus stuff

A Few Other Words:

So now I'm beginning the long and challenging task of rebuilding the object spawning code. I'm keeping a copy of my old code on the off chance stuff goes wrong, but hopefully I should be able to get a new system in and working. Problem is, the last time I "rewrote" a large section of my code, it took almost two months. So if I don't post much for a while, that'll be why.
