The city is slowly coming to life ( only to be destroyed by our little anti-hero ). Takes a damn longtime to paint all the details, pretty hard to keep up a regular schedule with my job ( let's not mention all the games I play like FTL or Dark Souls, right ? ).
Still lots to do !

Double rations

* 2 player mode works and 2nd player has all his animations done !!! Phew...
Also adapted the camera to follow for 2 player mode. It's working !

* Game now works with PS3 joypads too. So now Logitech, PS3 and 360 controllers are all supported ! Hopefully that will be good enough since there won't be options to reassign keys.

Will do a bit more testing but I think it is finally time to start making the first Stage.

Current situation

I've made some good progress on the 2 player coop mode !
I was really afraid to get stuck in some really problematic code with the recognition of joypads with 2 players on joypads but beyond my own expectations it seems to work pretty well so far ! Player 2 can jump, roll, flag, blow his trumpet around and walk for now. Still have to do the shooting, all his weapons as well as his look.

Crossing my fingers, hopefully no issue come up later on.

Added a pause menu, which was more trouble than I expected with MMF 2. Its a very simple one for now, no options in it except that pressing ESC will quit the game from there. Havent been able to make the joypad recognize the start button during the pause too...

Added the effect of the " select" button on the joypad which now allows the player to select a different weapon slot to sacrifice when using a bomb.

Tweaked 4 or 5 weapons for rebalancing and / or visual effects.

All the weapons have been done for a few days now. 21 weapons total...
The only things left for the core of the game is the Pause menu and the 2 player mode which is gonna be very tricky. After, it will finally be time to start making levels !

Yet more ways to blast minions

5 new weapons.

- Megashot (spread shot level 3. Very wide multi shot)
- Monster missile (missile level 3. Very strong single shot)
- Plasma Wave (level 2 spread / laser. My new favorite weapon of the game I think. Short range sonar like weapon that slows down ennemies and bullet alike by 50%. Very fun for the crowd control aspect.)
- Plasma Wave v2.0 (level 3 spread / spread / laser. Same as above but better range and strength.)
- Spread mines ( level 3 spread / spread / missile. Spreads mine all other the screen, pretty fun too!)

Started doing some rebalancing of the various weapons but I ll still have to retweak everything a lot.

6 Weapons remaining and then all the weapons of the game are done !
