  • Hello everyone,

    I'm currently working on an unusual project that combines classic action-adventure elements with a bullet-heaven twin-stick shooter.

    What makes it unique is that the game world consists mostly of static, minimalist visuals. Instead of relying on traditional animations, I'm trying to convey movement, dynamism, and atmosphere primarily through music and audio effects. The world itself reacts directly to the soundscape, creating a distinctive audiovisual experience.

    Planned Features

    Bullet-heaven gameplay with twin-stick controls

    Multiple weapons with different playstyles

    Elemental system with unique properties and effects

    A variety of enemy types

    Mini-bosses and bosses

    5 distinct biomes with their own color palettes and visual details

    Switch, key, and exploration mechanics inspired by classic action-adventure games

    Permanent upgrades and unlockable abilities

    Unlockable Abilities

    Throughout the game, players can discover permanent abilities that open new paths and expand exploration, including:

    Destroying specific walls

    Teleporting behind narrow obstacles

    A time-warp ability that slows down the flow of gameplay

    My goal is to combine the accessibility and excitement of a bullet-heaven shooter with the sense of discovery and progression found in classic Zelda-style adventures, while making music a core part of the overall experience.

    I'd love to hear your feedback, ideas, and suggestions. I'll be sharing screenshots and development updates here as the project progresses.

  • I reworked the red enemy indicators. Instead of simply pulsing to the music, they now serve a much more practical purpose by communicating both the direction and the approximate distance of off-screen enemies.

    The animation changes depending on how far away an enemy is, making it easier to judge threats at a glance without adding any extra HUD elements. This keeps the screen clean while providing more useful information during combat.

  • The Skill Inventory is almost complete. Collected items are now displayed in the inventory, and the skill system is already fully functional. As soon as you earn Skill Points, you can invest them into the upgrades of your choice.

    The only major feature still missing is the selection menu for Ammo Types and Element Types, both for the player's ship and its drones. Once that's implemented, the entire Skill Inventory system will be feature-complete.
