Hello everyone. Today I worked on the main menu. So I had to find a sci-fi style texture pack. When you hover over a button, the color of the button changes. Same thing when you click on it. I also integrated a little music created by a great artist: http://eliteferrex.newgrounds.com/. I created a debug level in order to develop my features without having to take care of a full level. For now, I’ve included the player’s ship with its basic movement and fire. I also have two basic enemies but they don’t move at the moment. Here are two small screenshots of my progress:

For tomorrow, my goals are:

• Integrate movement patterns for enemies.
• Start creating the first level.

This week I am participating in a game creation competition. This must be done during the week of August 7 to 13, 2017. There are four proposed themes and we must choose two and implement them in our game. For my I decided to choose the Alien Invasion and Chain Reaction theme. My game will be a Shoot’em up. Today I wrote the story and chose my sprites that I will use. I bought a small pack online to help me. Subsequently I created my project and I set myself the goal of displaying the ship with an animation for completeness. Here is a small screenshot:

My goals for tomorrow are:

• Integrate controls
• Integrate shots
• Integrate 1 enemy to test

That’s all for the moment. I hope to be able to tell you more tomorrow. Good evening !
