I don't usually do Friday updates, but today, day two of working on this game, I got things looking quite nice.
Figured I might as well post about it.

No gameplay (collision detection/death/scores/etc) yet, but I got a nice simple looking engine going, as far as scrolling, base enemy and shooting's concerned.

The current enemy are Base enemy. They sit on the scrolling landscape, and shoot at you.


Next up, Waves!

Oh, and it's a horizontal shooter, 'cos doing widescreen Vertical shooters is really odd looking.
