Last couple weeks been focusing on the changes that will be in our next demo update. These are mostly bug fixes and quality of life improvements. 

Bullet Visibility:

Changed bullet assets to improve overall visibility. Been a long time coming and I've put it off long as I could but I changed the bullet graphics to be more visible. I leverage both light/dark as well as color contrast to make them more easily readable from the players peripheral vision. I added a style option to the bullet config panel and the previous bullet style can be enabled if desired

Expanded Graphics Options:

I've been expanding the amount of graphic options that are available. 

• Bloom settings can be enabled/disabled per item as well as now having an option to adjust the overall intensity[
• Explosion/debris size can now be adjusted as well as debris amount
• Death explosion flashes and bomb flashes can now be turned off[

Practice Mode:

I've begun implementing a practice mode. This is where the player can attempt any section of any level or any boss/midboss:

Beyond this there are a number of bug fixes and optimizations. I significantly cleaned up some of the object pooling to improve load times and decrease memory usage.
