Gamedev update!

Hello all! Welcome back to my blog!

It's been a minute since my last blog issue, huh? Well fret not! I have been hard at work on the game in the meantime. Although, I
am only ready to share a small feature for right now.

The feature that I wanted to show off in this post is subtle, but I think it adds a lot to the polish and visual appeal of the game. I added
a slight vertical parallax effect to the background. The background now responds to the y coordinate of the player. This gives the background a cool 3D look. I think that this effect looks awesome, especially when
paired with the horizontal parallax effect that was already in the game.


I have also been working hard on the enemies since my last update, but I am not quite ready to show them off yet. Keep an eye out for a future blog
post though! ;)

Life update!

For this issue's life update I thought I would share a photo my physical media collection. Collecting physcial media has been a hobby
of mine for a while now. I mainly collect video games, but I also have been getting into collecting blu-rays and DVDs. I have various retro game
consoles, and two CRT TVs as well. I'll likely post more photos of my collection in future updates, so look forward to it!
