YounGen Shooter – In-Dev Update 1

YounGen Shooter In-Dev Webplayer

Here’s a current build of the game. It’s still got some bugs in it but it’s playable so I haven’t built it as a stable release.

Release Notes –

Fixed

Projectiles should no longer get stuck
Sound is now part of the projectile rather than the player so it won’t cut out completely at a Fire Rate level of 35
The player’s HUD is now on a new layer and rendered on the secondary camera so the XP crates won’t clip with them

Added/Changed

Player’s trail has been replaced with fire particles
Added health upgrade
Added an ability that hurts enemies for 1 damage when they touch XP crates
Added temporary invincibility upgrade (you are invincible for 2 seconds after being hit)
Added a force field around the bounds of the level
Added asteroids in the background
Added broken ship parts effect after an enemy or the player dies
Added video/audio/control options
Added an enemy that explodes on contact with the player, doing 2 damage

And possibly more that I’ve forgotten to list…
