[h2]Regarding the next game and its inspiration[/h2]
If anyone shoud be interested in the next title, Alien Assault, the progress will be documented in the
Game Design Document.
Just like the other games already made, all the assets, including artwork, music, code, and other elements, will be created entirely from scratch. While the gameplay is inspired by and reminiscent of the original, my intention is to add a unique touch with distinctive art style, music, and mechanics. Using the original names for the existing games upon release was unfortunate and, in retrospect, amateurish. I've renamed the existing games and provided a clearer description of their original inspirations in the main menu, ensuring there is no confusion moving forward. Rest assured the games are still the same (with the added powerups from this patch).
To the few who have played this game, and even fewer who bother reading this:
thank you so much and have a great summer 🌞
