Is this still alive in any spiritual sub-world of another dimension ?

Do you think you could release what you have if it's fully playable in demo form or at least the source? (In case someone was willing to continue it)

At the moment the enemies are just spawned in at random and this level is just a test level. I want to have more kinds of enemies soon and a map you can open in a pause menu.

Yep I am already working on a simple set of SFX for users that do not have access to microcontrollers. Those who do have an arduino get better soundeffects and probably even music. I have to find a way to easily compose or convert music to a calculator format.

I am working on a minimalistic music editor so I can create song files that play during the game. I got the basic engine done. Now I have to add wavetables, instruments and some setting such as speed, song length etc.

In the attachments you find a sample of the soundchip music editor. Recorded from the arduino.

The music engine like the sound effects engine will be interrupt driven, so it's really accurate. No slowdowns in music or framerate. I could take a string of data and put it in an appvar. This engine will play a string of notes of any length. At the moment every note takes up 1 byte of data, so with 3 channels the size of a song is N*3. The song you just heard is just 192 bytes long and you heard it looped twice.

When I implement the instruments there is one extra byte per note required. When I implement effects such as vibrato, arpeggio and sweeps it's gonna be 3 bytes per note.

Just to let you know: I am still working on this game, but I am not working as hard on it as I did in the first week of the reboot. Every once in a while I tackle problems and add features. Today I fixed a bug and I added breakable blocks. You need an item so you can overcharge your weapon and release energy when standing in front of either a dirt block or a metal pipe. This destroys the block and you can clear out pathways, so you can reach places you could not reach before.
