Hi James, you are right about the lack of another background layer to create a parallax effect. That's something that it was taken into consideration but because of the limited memory we had to make a choice, better weapon effects or better backgrounds. We choose the weapons. Believe me, in the mayhem that the game often turns you won't look at the background But if we are going to have some memory left definitely more background layers are at the top of the list. In the video we posted here where you only see the weapons it's true that the Hero seems a little slower but when you have to battle with the enemy I think the speed is just right. We searched a long time for the best speed but you need to see the entire gameplay. I had actually second thoughts about posting that work in progress video here exactly because it doesn't do justice to the game but as this is a game dev community I took my chances I would never post that video on touch arcade for example :P
BeyondtheTech, if only you would know how hard I'm trying to get in touch with them... they don't even bother to send a reply back... I'm very very disappointed about the communication
Thank you design219, glad you like it and thanks all of you for your support.
It's 3 am here, after 8h of full-time job and another 6 of bug-fixing I'm going to bed... I'm tired but happy and satisfied and for me that's the best feeling in the world when you know that all the hard work you put is for your own game... I'm sure I won't feel the same if I had to make the game for GS I still hope that PRO will be back.
