My lack of experience with shmups stems from the fact that growing up, they were always in the arcade so I didn't play enough of them for me to fully analyze them.

You probably notice that the game is largely Xevious inspired, that's because it's the only shmup I had significant experience with because I had one of those Jack's Pacific Plug-N-Play consoles with a bunch of Namco titles.

But I guess the moral of the story is that if you want to get into gamedev (either as a hobby or a career) you really need to experience some of the older games because obviously your first few projects are going to be small (unless you're stupid), so you might as well have some experience in playing older (as in pre-NES) games.

I thought that #CVQCon2022 was a real fedi convention, but apparently, it's some weird LARP.

I just need to polish some levels, refactor some code, remove any remaining copyright infringing assets (they're still there but unused), and then I'm done.

BTW, the game isn't anything to write home about, but it's a game, and probably the most polished game I made. The game was mainly me practicing enemy patterns.

It would probably be much better if I actually had experience with shmups and if college, a part-time job, and training for a full-time job didn't take so much time to the point I forget where I left off.

My next game programming project will probably either be a platformer or a top-down action game.

Finally got a proper logo for the title screen. Shout out to @Mr_NutterButter for creating it.
