Freedom Fighter - Rise of humans *WORK IN PROGRESS*

One thing I find missing is a visible 'impact' of your bullets on the boss ship, if you get what I mean.

I know what you mean wimpie3: you'd like to see some explosion when bullets collide with boss ship. I think I can do something against end level boss wich collision zone are sprites, but there are invisible so I can change them into explosions and then restore them (sprites are automatically "destroyed" by the sprite management routine after their explosion animation reach the end, so I have to work a little on it). But midlevel boss is entirely done with sprites so it could be hard to put explosions there... but never say never

Nice progress! Quick question, how does the tileset swapping work? do you upload the whole tileset to the VDP in one game frame?

oh, interesting! Very different approach from the way other scroll algorithms work. Cool! I'll have to look at it in more detail

This time all symmetric tiles have been redrawn. I spent a big time to make different tiles for every direction: no more flipping to obtain same type of tile. I did a complete restyle for some grass/water tiles and for all desert zone tiles. The map too is new. I changed the level design trying to avoid that geometric aspect that it had before. And now bullets impact on bosses is noticeable too. Now you know you are damaging them
As always watch this video at 720p50: check settings on YouTube to avoid unwanted frameskipping. Enjoy!
