Oh I know I just love awkward silences.
I forgot to post eye candy!
Old ones still in the queue:

Skyscrapers now extend infinitely far down (as far as the player can see anyway) and have solar panels on their roofs. This helped immersion quite a bit:

I also modified the skyscraper shaders so that they lose colour and detail right around the time they blend into the city vista surrounding the playfield. This looks super spooky in motion and makes the sense of space even more fluid:

The game will now also try to place the camera at an aesthetically pleasing overlook when the player dies. This will act as a background for the score tally screen. A couple examples:

The rest of these are just moments I needed to stop and photograph while working:

Today I’m working on recreating all the drones as a single polished blueprint, which activates component groups to become one of the 3 drone archetypes at runtime. This will result in much cleaner editing and level generation, and make a deliberately unannounced feature easier to implement.
ALSO seriously thank you again I keep feeling really ****** and then coming back to see like 5k views on my stupid little learning project and it makes me feel really good <3 <3
