Back To Design Mode

Well, I now have our player sub firing shots forward...there's a little tweeking to do since the shot spawns at 0,0 on the sub, which is around the area of the tip of the rear tail. But it's a first step. Again, the method I'm using with the overall game design is to get the basic game working and build with experimentation. It's sort of like painting, start with the a rough sketch or basic underpainting and work up the details as you progress while trying not to get to focused on any one point along the way.

Now I turn back to more familiar territory, for me at least, and that's the design of the ships, pickups and UI. I've got some initial thumbnail sketches of vehicles and I like the way a couple of them are shaping up.
