Welcome to the Juicy Shmup wiki!
I document/blog my progress here, hopefully somewhat consistently.
Juicy Shmup is, at its core, a top-down shoot 'em up. Taking inspiration from Juicy Breakout, I wanted to build a simple game that felt satisfying to play. That means crisp sounds, particle effects, screen shake, and all that good stuff--all while keeping the core loop the same.
| Feature | Completion | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Box2DLights | 100% | All current entities done, will need to reduce this percentage when I'm adding more enemies. |
| Screen shake | 90% | Might need to tweak values when more space entities are added. Right now uses Math.random, I want to use Perlin noise instead. Inspired by this GDC talk. |
| Game speed controls | 80% | Implementation done for the most part, but I want a quadratic decrease in game speed after an enemy dies, as the current linear function doesn't look that good. I also want to toggle the normalization. |
| Particle effects | 62.5% | Most particle effects are done. Right now a point light plays during bullet death, and I'm not sure if I really need one. |
| Enemy logic | 33.3% | Kamikaze and dogfighters done, enemy director needs a bit more work though. A couple more enemies would be nice, anything extra is a stretch goal. |
| Weapons | 7.6% | Nothing yet on what different bullet logic, just have a simple bullet for now. Like enemies, a couple weapons should be good, any extras are nice stretch goals. |
| Scoring | 99% | Sort of done, needs a few more tweaks, especially score delta. |
| Power-ups | 0% | I have a bunch of ideas, but other things are priority. Mostly stretch goal. |
