Welcome to [Shooter] (working title). the game I’m currently developing in my spare time. And welcome to this blog which I use to give some insight into the progress. In its current form, I have a one-level prototype of the game, containing most of the standard or required mechanics such as win/lose, scoring, upgrades, boss fight, etc.

Shooter goals

• Create a fun to play vertical scrolling Shoot-em-up (Shmup);
• That has a consistent, recognizable, art style;
• That works well on mobile (i.e. phones);
• Can be released to Apple App Store.

Shooter constraints

• I’m working on this game in my spare time, which is highly constrained due to a full time job as well as two young children;
• Therefore, I will use any shortcut I can find to save time;
• Will be working towards the minimum viable product.

Blog goals

• Give an update once a week;
• For me: keep a diary of activities and progress;
• For you: mostly fun.

Hope you enjoy!
