The East Airspace Fleet vs Western Badguys game is now public!

After nearly 4 years of developing and fixing (more like 3 years and a bit of time after), E.A.F.W.B. is now ready for the public to see. Note that it is still not finished. All that is left to do are the following things:

+ Finish all empty levels (about 70+ left)

+ Finish up end sequence

+ Make all shop items obtainable with a special mode of gameplay

+ Change out some 'loops' music for non-loop versions with original note sequence

+ Try to fix unstable objects which have been a hassle for years

+ Clean up other misc. stuff that is absolutely broken or unfinished looking

You might be wondering: "Why did it take 3-4 years to make?" This was due to being a bit too slow with finishing main game features and feature creep. Most features that were creeping in were removed and everything has been pretty much cleaned up now. Also bullet physics were part of the list of issues that made development slow. 

Graphics were another issue. The pixelated look was not for this game, and a hand-drawn style was added, but it too got tacky so it was changed to a polygon look. This means the game barely uses textures now. We hope this is the last visual style change. We also use free fonts that are readable and easy on eyes. There are settings in game to help with different language support, dark mode, and more. We hope these features improve accessibility and multiple country support.

The engine used to run the game has been modified however to improve performance and add little extra features for objects in the game. Features which have improved the quality and speed of the game.

Currently, if you look around, you'll see a discussions area where you can discuss the game and ask about specific features and what the future is.

Right now, a demo is being worked on as the whole game only has ~30/100 levels basically completed, with some bosses and 'finale content' already done. 

The demo version will include 10 levels (the final one being a boss) and a few upgrades for the main weapon allowed. Not all features are complete yet, but the main moveset is done for the player plane and most enemies. In the demo, you will have helicopters, normal planes, ground turrets, and collectable crates. There is also a tutorial that you can disable in the settings.

The demo will come out for testing soon. Feedback is wanted on terms of:

+ Any weapons that could be added?

+ Any enemy changes that could be implemented in the future?

+ Price of game (what should the final price be?)

Not all feature requests will be added, due to time constraints and other real reasons, and the fact that the game needs to release at some point, sooner rather than later.
