Oh! And, I forgot to mention, your hitbox (purple square) will shrink slightly when turning. Figured out how to do this the other day, I really love the AnimationPlayer's ability to dictate transforms for hitboxes and other data points. SUPER cool stuff.

And here's how the laser's gonna look, I'm gonna have to figure out shapecast2d nodes, but I should be alright. Once I get that done, we'll be moving on to implementing Mio's orbital units! SUPER excited to get those moving ingame, I feel like they're gonna be super visually interesting.

Started the implementation of the focus-fire laser, and implemented a speed clamp for more fine control! It feels REALLY natural to use already, but I'm gonna tweak it some more to get it perfect.

Been a few days since I've posted anything for my project.. So here's what I've been busy on!
First, we've gone over the bullet cancel system and it's already feeling incredibly satisfying to use. Bullet cancels only happen when the enemy is killed at close range, so get up in their face!

So far, so good! We've got score items for bullet cancels in there, and they slorp in real nice.

It's likely going to be a more complicated way, I'm using it all over all sorts of enemies. For example, here's the enemy type with his animations. Everything the pink color touches should show through to a space background.

@fideldestro.bsky.social Hey there shader wizard!! If I wanted to make a sort of portal effect where a specific mask color on my animated sprites show through the background to a hidden background layer, how would you suggest I do that?

Another enemy design in the bag. Wanted to include the rough concept too, because I actually just randomly had this design pop into my brain almost completely fully-formed and I just wanted to get it on the canvas immediately lol

Cyclops space dolphin playing with rainbow death energy? Hell yeah. enemy design sure is fun :b (the pink on the sprite will be a chroma-key mask color to show through to a persistent parallax space background. it'll look so cool.)

to the person who quickly wrote in a comment and then deleted your comment about Alya's name and how I had written/stylized it: thank you. I love you. I hope this reads correctly, because it turned out it was a font issue before.
