Small update this time around, due to life stuff :l
Made another enemy and added an ingame controls screen, along with tidying up this menu’s code, it was very messy the first time around.
I’ve also made a few changes to enemy placement in levels so that’s also a thing. As for the snapping camera it’s actually a bit harder to code than I thought it was going to be, so it’ll take a bit.
Hello everyone! I have some pretty great news regarding all the fixes and changes I’ve made 
In no particular order, here are the additions, changes, and fixes I’ve made since the first release of the demo:
TL:DR is that I’ve made the snap off camera mode! It works pretty well and feels nice overall. Along with that I made icons for slots to help with readability of which slot holds what, small UI for when the main UI is hidden, and some general bug fixing and balance changes.
The updated version of the game is available as well! However, aside from these QoL changes there is no new gameplay content ingame.
Now that all of this QoL stuff is out of the way I’m able to work on Chapter 2! So expect progress on that front later this year
As always, thank you all for the support and suggestions! You guys have really helped shape the game for the better 
Its been a bit
After sitting around doing nothing for the past month I’ve finally worked on and finished a good chunk of enemy sprites and some code. Can’t give much else as I’m currently working on the rest of the assets, but I will show them off when they’re ready.
Awesome! We fans know making a game is really NOT easy so no rush at all. There’s so much that goes into it that can’t really be ~shown~ because it’s not a visual thing.
Very true! I still try to go a little in depth with the additions/changes I make because most of them are pretty important, while not bloating these posts with the technical aspects of everything. But yeah, some stuff (like what I’m working on now) really isn’t gonna be that palatable until its finished on a gameplay level.
Yo yo
I do have very good news so I’ll start with that. I’ve made 80% of the enemies along with their code and it all works very nicely, and there’s some extra mechanical stuff with them. Two full levels have been finished and I’m just designing cutscene areas for storyline reasons. The only thing needed to be made is some NPCs and sprites.
As for the length of time for development I’ve been pretty busy with college stuff so the updates and amount of progress will probably become more sparse, but it’ll still be worked on of course.

Its been a long bit 
I have pretty exciting news: I have screenshots and details to share of progress!
These are the currently finished guns for chapter two, with their own special functionalities, that I’ll describe below.
A pistol variant, with the ability to fire through multiple enemies with deadly accuracy. The downsides being a fairly short clip, and having click to fire.
The LMG sports a massive magazine size and a somewhat consistent bullet deviation even at max firing speed. A downside to this amazing gun is the wind up time to acquire said max speed, on top of damage resetting the wind up time. And yes, you get to keep the firing speed after reloads.
A somewhat run of the mill rifle with the twist of firing two shots diagonally, that’s it.
Another Rifle, with bullets that ricochet! Along with near pin point accuracy to boot.
A staple; fires a single rocket that explodes on impact.
overall I’m happy with the balance of the weapons, none of them feel too overpowered compared to each other and none of them supersede previous chapter weapons in perks.
Just a select few enemies with their stats and abilities that are finished 
A rascal
A rascally rascal

I didn’t keep track of most of my bug fixes, but many had to do with the newly created enemies and consistency issues with weapons. Here are a few notable fixes:
just a few screenshots for in development levels/enemies/NPCS
That’s pretty much it for the updates as far as Spitfire goes. Still at work with the game, ironed out alot of issues with enemy coding, map creation, weapon variety and small bugs that passed through earlier bug fixing. As for the story stuff it had to wait, a tad too much of the content newly added was rougher around the edges than I would’ve liked. Hopefully the next update log isn’t 3 months away 
Perhaps a little late in response, but it might be difficult for some to tell the difference between 2-3 of the cat soldiers until they start shooting. I don’t know if levels will all be preset, or if there’s some degree of randomness in troop spawning, but just thought I’d point that out. Great work, though!
I told you it wasn’t gonna be in 3 months
It was actually 7 liberal
Anyway, yeah its been over half a year and progress has been rather slow. Again, mostly due to me being minorly busy, lack of motivation, and scaffolding ideas and trashing what falls apart.
Speaking of, I’m revamping the content I currently have in order to improve the core gameplay experience and strengthen the overall narrative (I know, more development creep but the gameplay isn’t really up to snuff in variety and quality on further longterm testing). This means respriting, revamping, and overhauling over code and levels which is probably not gonna take too long but I’m not promising anything at this point. When things are done they’ll be done and I’ll release the 2.0 release that’ll include what I’ve been previously working on along with the revamped chapter 1. I’ll see what I can do about improving sounds and music as thats something I’ve skimped on due to my lack of experience creating music, but I’m sure I can figure it out eventually.
Both to new and old peeps reading these update posts, thanks! 
Long time ago, I didn’t find any problem in the game. I didn’t mind the music so everything just fit.
