I thought you abandoned making playmaker tutorials all together.

Are your plans to make movement restrictive? No rotation? And what does that mean for the level itself? Are you planning on adding mechanic like in Everyday Shooter when the player moves off of the screen it ends up being on a opposite of the level? So the player doesn't fall off or drift away?

Yep, the ship direction is restricted only facing the top of the screen, just like any other Top down SHMUP.

the movement is being restricted to screen, so I don't think I'm going to implement that. AFAIK I've never seen a SHMUP which does that, I might have to check Everyday Shooter..

Haven't had luck finding videos demonstrating this option but it does exist in that game. Just thought it would be cool if you did a video on that. It's a fun game.

Today i listened to the first 5 chapters, while working on something completely unrelated. I love them, your explanations are simple, entertaining and easy to follow! Please continue the great work... i'll go back and finish my SHMUP (abandoned 5 years ago in concept stage) with your tutorials!

Thank you!

Wow, I've check your abandoned project, it looks really good, and that was 5 years ago, I was still doing animation back then, haven't touched game dev yet.

Wish you all the best with your current project! Thanks again for the kind words :)
