January update

We are still in closed beta.
It’s hard to find the time to make as much progress as we would like, but we are still fixing bugs and adding small features to the SHMUP Creator.

MATERIAL EDITOR:
We added a material editor for 3D objects. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it!
You can choose textures, shininess, reflection for imported models and see the result in the editor.

NEW FEATURES:
We also added a lot of new features to the SHMUP Creator:
. Users can exclude levels from the final build. It allows people to keep test levels in their project.
. Layers can be locked to prevent moving some objects.
. Some additional controls were added to the weapon editor: Charge Shots like in R-type, ways to have a Tap Weapon and an Hold Weapon and Invincible Bullets
. A dead enemy can cancel its own bullets
. A new explosion component: light

NEXT:
We are now in 2021. Times flies!
June 2020 was the start of the beta, and was an huge achievement for us!
I really wanted to release the SHMUP Creator trailer before the end of the year, but couldn’t for a variety of reasons. This trailer, and opening the Steam store is still the next big milestone for us.
