Hey all, so I have updated Sector Six!

Released new combat that I was working on for the last… few months?

The gameplay is rather lackluster. I can only shoot what is directly ahead of me, leading to this strategy: hold down to shoot, stay still and wait for enemies who are also only shooting ahead to walk into my shot, move a bit if they shoot, repeat until those particular enemies are dead (can take a while), clean up any snipers in the back. This gets painfully tedious, especially on missions like "kill 50/100 enemies". Also this encourages making ships in horizontal lines to avoid horizontal fire. If there are weapons later on that mix up the way I shoot that I haven't unlocked yet, they need to be presented sooner, because right now it's not grabbing my attention enough.

but goddamn do I hate just mindlessly shooting forward. one particular thing i'm not very fond of is the spaceship movement. i seem to move in units. so like, instead of having my spaceship go down just a little bit when i tap the down arrow key… it decides it wants to stepdance and go down a fixed distance instead of depending how long i held the button for and that irks me so bad. there's one spaceship whos pattern of shotting keeps me inside a bullet tunnel, so i have to manouver around it and because of how limiting the spaceship movement is i had to kept being hit even though I KNOW if the controllers were different I could have been hit a whole lot less. at one point i said "fuck this" and let the ship take health away from me so i could just straight shoot it.

The most of problems with the combat should be fixed now!

Probably spawned tons of new ones, but I don't know them, so would be awesome if you guys would help me find them =]

One problem, I can't update Sector Six here on 64Digits.

Right now my publisher is trying to get Mac developer license or something like that. Which is apparently needed to create Mac builds with GM:S.

Mac is not answering his questions, so that's why Sector Six still doesn't have Mac build.
