I'm back!
Hey everyone, the page is up and the game out, go check it out!
Find any bugs you can find, and have fun!
Some content still didn't make into the game because I was still working on it, but it will soon arrive.

No images yet, but I started working on worm-like enemies and remaking the AI system.
For now I have a chaser and a worm ai. Chaser is exactly what the ai was before the change, Worm is more like Destroyer from Terraria.

Just fixed a performance issue.
Bullets collide within the same activation frame, which is expected.
What I didn't expect was that they would replicate until the engine crash once they fragmented.
Now fragments have a one frame detection delay.

I started reworking the collision system, now bullets should stop ignoring enemies.
Also, working on a few new enemies to fill the rest of the night, 'cause it used to get boring too fast.

I present to you one of the Ultimates.
This one is for Gravy, a new character. I'll call it 'Void Expansion'.
There's a few things to work on, but most is done.

Ok, It's taking a lot more that I expected.
The weapon and character evolution system is ready.
Now I gotta create the evolutions and animations. But shouldn't be much trouble.
Here you can take a look at the rough UI of both.

Also, as you can see, the trees are now in game.
Noticing more enemies that usual? I added difficult modifiers (11 in total for now).

After testing for a while, I noticed that the loading time was to long on android, so I went my way to optimize and reduce it.
I implemented a loading screen, updated the pooling system, and now am reworking the forest map, enemy sprites, and weapons.

As I began redoing the main menu UI,I figured out it would be way cooler to show a hi-res version of the weapon somewhere on the screen.

After testing a few things around, I noticed the enemy AI was fps dependent, which led to imprecisse speed (mostly on mobali).
So now I started reworking the entire movement system to be precise and frame independent.

It's been some time since the last devlog. That's because I'm busy during the week, but it won't stop me from updating the game.
I won't got any especific release date yet, but (hopefully) it shouldn't take too long.
