Hey! Just showing another lil sneak peak on the video game! I have 6 areas with the complete list of enemies already programmed in. I have 8 areas fully done visually, with 4 more areas that have zero work done so far. Each area has a minimum of 8 maps, and a maximum of like, 18. Some maps are huge, some are small.

I've had a few weeks just to stay home and focus on game dev, and most of that focus has been poured into creating enemies and programming better AI. Some of the enemies are still.... very wonky, but most of them have been smoothed out.

Also I wanted to get some input on the particle effect visuals here! I just finished programming this enemy (Toughest so far) and I wanted to know something. When you hit an enemy and do damage, I have the confetti image, but when you hit an enemy and no damage done, I have the shields. Does that come across okay? (Also I know the shields are brighter when you hit the enemy with a sword, then when you jump on the enemy. I fixed that right after recording this)

Well gosh, thanks! I wish I was making more finished pieces at this time, but I've been pretty focused on game dev stuff.

MAN I'ma ramble here about game dev stuff!

I have this enemy called an AlphaBat that you fight. It only does a few things- float after you after you get close enough, and it will always try to go to the right or left of you. When it's on the right or left, it shoots a bullet every second. All of these things I have done before with other enemies in the game, just not all together in one enemy. So I know this code normally works just fine on its own, but for some reason it won't work together?

I've been doing this for four hours you see. And now I have given up and am going to the forums/discord for help.
