Some great new stuff has gone into Gun Bastard this week, including:
* You can now play the game from start to finish (all of the levels load and complete successfully, although half of them are currently devoid of enemies).
* Most of the art is now in. All the main levels have backgrounds and only a couple of enemies still have to be drawn. Also, Gun Bastard himself is getting a redesign once we've nailed down his look.
* Many new boss fights are fully implemented now, including the abominable Snowman pictured.
* Foreground elements! To make the graphics look extra pretty, there's now scrolling foreground borders or overlays (such as the blizzard in the snow level) for most levels. In some levels this can affect visibility so difficulty might need tweaking.
* Started adding proper cutscene graphics. The cutscenes are all going to be hand-drawn sketches on a roll of parchment (also pictured).
* Got boss timers working - if you defeat the boss in record time you get a time bonus.
There's also a screenshot of the map screen...
