Red's Weekly Update (Patreon)

Another week, another effect done!

This effect for the player getting hit is actually five different particle systems working together, plus an animation effect to make the player flash black. This should also serve as a good base for creating the effect for enemies and the player itself getting destroyed (they're like this, but bigger/flashier/fancier).

So here's my progress so far:

Player trails (Done!)
Player shot destruction (Done!)
Player get hit (Done!)
Player ship destruction*
Enemy get hit (Done!)
Enemy damage flash (Done!)
Enemy shot destruction (Done!)
Enemy kill*
Boss/Core kill*
Hacking Entry effect
Hacking Exit effect
Core shield (Done!)
Core shield hit (Done!)

*Once again, these marked items are next! I'm actually more than halfway done with particles and effects. I'm looking forward to the more fun stuff!

'Till next time!
