Been furiously trying to tick off as many things as poss from the todo list lately. Lots done, next is a biggie - enemy bullet system needs rebuilding from scratch.

Quite a few fun things done - see vid:

I've done quite a bit on additional logic for bosses, including intro & death sequences:

I've added a 'focus' weapon:

I've made a load of changes to how levels and enemy movements are handled, including adding a z axis, so can now have 'background' objects (displayed dimmer), like this:

It's been a while since I posted any Vyrzon II updates so here are a few...

Up to now enemy gfx could only loop through animation frames. I can now have 'directional' enemies like this...

Vyrzon II title screen in super slo-mo.

Transport carrying energy cell & preliminary power up implementation.

Plus, a glimpse of WIP enemy at the end (& new enemy energy gauge for multi-hit enemies).

#vectrex #vyrzonii #gamedev

'Blocks' (indestructable cubes) have some unique code when shot (don't flash, spark, sfx).

'Darts' have no unique code, have just remade the gfx (camera struggling with the speed of them).

I'm currently working on enemies, particularly those that require additional code for unique behaviour.

Asteroids are back...but this time break into smaller pieces when shot, as nature intended.
