Update on the Vertical Shooter and other things

Another School Year started for me this week, so I have been attending sessions with Game Gen at a later time period than before. So far, I've been doing a pretty good job with balancing school work with my work here at Game Gen. If things start to get too complicated however, I feel I must take a break from this program to focus more on my academic studies. This semester is important for many reasons. The biggest being that it's my second-to-last semester of Community College before I transfer to a university, so on top of school work, I'll also need to make plans for where I want to transfer to next year.

On the subject of the vertical shooter, I'm nearly done with all the programming aspects. I've incorporated various power-ups such as:

A Laser Beam

A Beam Wave

And a Multi-Shot

After all the programming is done, full stage design will be put into motion. I plan to incorporate 4 layouts for levels each with a boss at the end. I may consider making one extra layout for the final boss, but I won't make any promises. I also have yet to incorporate music and sound effects, which I will also start working on going forward. To back-up this statement, here's the other two music tracks I plan on using:

Mountain Range

Underground Building
