Slowly increasing the density and viciousness of level 4b.

Takes hours making encounters dense... I've spent several on this ~15 second section. Still not in love with it yet. You have to make sure that it feels fun and the patterns are readable. Not just the individual patterns - but the ones that emerge from multiple enemies

Made another update to the demo -some bug fixes but mostly work on level 2a. Found a lot of encounters felt "choppy". Check out the updated demo on #itchio

Just did a quick patch that fixed a number of bugs - including the broken caravan mode.

Reminder Stellar fury demo contains a full caravan mode. This will be free forever. Encourage everyone to go try it out.

Can't believe it took me this long to figure it out. Massive bullet visibility boost by simply having the entire bullet (and glow) sit on black instead of transparent. Better contrast against the bg.

Interesting feeling route. Gotta do this little dance on the edge of a knife. The midboss will timeout and if you don't get enough dmg you won't kill it otherwise.
Easier to dodge going to the far edge but you won't dmg it there.

First section of level 4 in #Eschatos can suck it. Seriously most troublesome part of the game I've encountered. Very route heavy.
Also, uploaded a new video about my experiences with Eschatos. Made it to Level 6 (starting with 2 extends at level 4)

These might be patterns sufficiently scary for the level 4a secret boss.

Added section indicators (both popup and in the side panel hud). Should make it easier if you want to jump over to practice a section (and actually know what section you want to practice). My time with Eschatos reminded me that I wanted to do this.

Some people really like tea. There are tea houses they can go to to sample different flavors and varieties of tea. People have their own tools for preparing and consuming tea. Brewing tea has a particular process and everyone has their own techniques.

Dying in a shmup is already punishment enough. I decided to add some mechanics to make it feel less bad.

Committing to at least 15hrs of scheduled game dev time a week - really what you gotta do when you have a kid.
2025 has got to be the year I finally finish this game
