addedSome of these elements ran into difficulties and involved a lot of trial and error and there's been many distractions. Recently and as discussed in the update vid this particular update's goal is to improve the visual aspect of the game. This is a very challenging thing to do - chief among the rasons that I'm simply not very good at this. I hate to say/label this sort of thing in a negative way - because "not being good" often means not spending enough time improving at something. But in my case I'm simply better at certain things than others. I think that visual elements - are my weakness. Furthermore on my side there's been a lot of work and trial and error on these elements - and I'm left feeling that I don't have much to show for it. It is very frustrating to sort of see what you want to accomplish - in my mind's eye - but not be able to get there - via my current skills/abilities/assets. Still! This is part of the process - little failures lead to successes and I'm ever optimistic and hopeful of constant improvement to Void Destroyer 2. I hope that my wall of text up there isn't portraying a bleak picture - it's simply sort of "in the middile" update - versus where I hoped we'd be. -- I hope you enjoy the new update - as always I'm open to feedback/discussion/etc. Thank you for your incredible support!
