Update 3 - the power is being used
[has sounds - pew pew!] So this happened. Not entirely sure what it is yet. What you can see here is the player picks up gun parts and when they get enough the gun attachment appears. The gun can run in pulse mode for about 1 seconds in total and then needs 3 seconds to cool down. While it's on it drains power. While the tracks move they drain power.
You can also see the player's base at the start. So next I'm going to get the enemy to shoot that if close enough or shoot the player. The player will soon be able to collect shielding and more body parts. What I found interested was that this game is essentiatlly an interactive version of the drawings I used to do in school when I was bored. Loads of space battles. The art style is pretty much the same. It's great that I can just whip up new graphics as I need them in minutes. Not good commercially but great for prototyping and giving the art department some ideas.
