Today's Potatostrike progress report:

1. Added a whole bunch of weapon sounds to the game. Some are similar sounds from MF-01 Aerostrike, while others are new.
2. Next up is adding impact, UI, and special effect sounds.

A WIP clip of Potatostrike. It's showcasing various sounds. The Laser beam has a brand new sound, while the Brawler's Plasma Cannon retains its old sound from MF-01 Aerostrike. Ship explosion sounds are also brand new!

A short WIP gameplay clip of Potatostrike. It shows the Potatostrike fighting a group of ships. It constantly swaps between a wide Wave attack that pierces through enemies, and a burst-fire 37mm Cannon that takes down tough enemies with ease. Additionally, it's also firing twin seeker missiles. They either spread out in a V-pattern to hit ships on opposite sides of the arena, or converge into a single target in front of the Potatostrike.

Sektori (week 134): 🌈 mode finished and I think we are very near calling the main mode gameplay feature complete (with some caveats about the bosses). Just a lot of iteration left! Not sure what to work on next, I guess I should clean up my notes first.

I've thought about video game genres a lot; I'm always trying to determine what makes something a "shooter" or a "racer". It beguiles me when our names for things don't always correctly describe the gameplay. When does a "shoot em up" become a "beat em up"?

Have been replaying the Gates of Zendocon on the Lynx (well, Evercade) quite a bit lately, and am very impressed at just how well designed, innovative and varied this game is.

A brilliant if overlooked shmup, that has somehow even found its way on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2190740/Gates_of_Zendocon/
