Let me know what you think I could use any feedback. If you screenshot the last screen I’ll put you in the credits.
Hey! I’m developing a 2D side-scroller called Thousand Star Kingdom.
It’s just me and the artist working on this. The game is meant to be sort of like Contra (except you fly) or a 2D Zone of Enders. It’s my first game so nothing is perfect but I’m slowly making progress on it. I want to keep it simple but still make it enjoyable for people. I don’t plan on charging any money for it as it’s just something I want to do to put into my programming portfolio. I update my youtube weekly (for the most part) as a way to stay motivated. I welcome opinions and suggestions!
Here’s a my latest video.
It’s just programmer’s art at the moment due to school and stuff. But here’s sort of what kind of art to expect.
Here’s a cool picture showing how our design ideas changed. (The middle one is the final one for the female protagonist)
Features Planned
-Choose between male or female protagonist (no effect on gameplay)
-Unique boss battles
-Multiple weapons designed after bosses you defeat
-Alt-fire for those weapons cause why not?
-Classic feel in terms of difficulty and progression.
-Tons of enemy types
-High-speed combat and flashiness to make you feel like a boss. 
Most likely more to come!
