Ace dev

Thank you all for great feedback! 🙏

For my Propspin project I decided to go with an overheat mechanism. Gun stops firing when overheated. In reality this means slower rate of fire after firing continuously for 2-3 seconds.
Still OK to be trigger happy, only a mild penalty for wasting bullets. 😄

Infinite ammo in a shooter game?

1) Player has infinite ammo, Autofire on at all times
2) Some cost involved (cooldown, limited ammo, ...), Gun fired manually

Any reasonable third option?

I like to pull the trigger myself, but at no cost it's less gratifying.

Yes, the Atari version was the original. But I took inspiration from the C64.

Yes! New and improved www.propspin.org

My attempt to recreate the best part of 1983. 🕹️😊

Soon on Itch

What is this boss from 1981 doing in a WWI era game? Makes sense because it's a 1980s retro game? Does it have to make sense?

Sometimes, instead of a WWI era biplane, an iconic 1980s gadget will fly by. Like a Rubik's cube or a BMX bicycle. 🤭 One random fly-by in a hundred or so.

Keep a level locked until all previous levels are completed?

It is standard behavior but I'm leaning toward keeping everything open.
Are locked levels motivating or just condescending?

Love it! Why is this not standard behavior for all games?

Features worse than useless

"Find References in Project" in the Unity Editor does not seem to work. It yields zero results for a texture that is definitely used in the project.

Not only is it not helpful, it makes me think I can safely delete the file. 🤔

Baron 12 o'clock

First person camera view added!

Why? Because I wanted to defeat the Red Baron in first person. And I loved it! 😁 🎯

Silent failure. The worst kind.

I am introducing joystick and gamepad support to my Unity game. Seemed like an easy job at first.

Object pooling in a Unity project?
Good idea! Recycled bits and polygons are cheap.

There are a few things to consider before you jump into it, though.
