Stage 1 Big Core Boss Test (.wmv file)

Nothing fancy here folks. Just a video of the 1st boss in action, consider it a teaser and an input request. Does this look like a first boss you guys can handle, or should I do something simpler? I want to keep this manic, but if this is too much, perhaps I'll save the really manic stuff for later bosses.

Development History

Cavadius Trial v0.90

• Stage 1 Added
• Particle system/explosions completely re-written
• Basic offline ranking support added
• Gauge Multiplier Bonus system added
• And more!

Cavadius Trial v0.85a

• Difficulty settings added (Easy, Normal, and Hard)

Currently, difficulty only affects the ferocity of enemy attacks. I may also have it change health values for enemies later on. Currently, Easy has much lower bullet counts (Approximately 66% less), Normal is slightly easier than the difficulty used in the initial trial release. Hard is, well...Let's just say it's ideal for those seeking a quick and painless death.

• Mini Core 2 (The one from Salamander) now has a new and much better looking bullet pattern.
• Minor Laser graphic fix (Glowing effect is now even width)
• Laser projectile speed increased by 2 pixels/frame, it now travels 14 pixels per frame. Max length unchanged.
• JOYSTICK SUPPORT! (I know you all wanted this, though you can't use both the keyboard and a joystick at the same time, sorry...)
• Joystick support fixed. New Deadzone setting added.
  

NOTE: You still have to use the keyboard for Enter, F4, F10, and ESC. These keys work even if a joystick is enabled.

Cavadius Trial Version 0.80

Hit F1 for ingame help/instructions ...Oh, and Enter is the "Start Button"

CURRENT FEATURES

• 4 Weapon Arrays
• Several enemy types
• LOTS of bullets!
• Two Bullet Color schemes, Classic Gradius and Manic Shmup. Availble in Game Options.
• Some working game options (A/V Options are not implemented yet)

AUTHOR NOTES-

This is primarily a bugfix release of the Trial Version. Hopefully the tweaks should improve playability.
...Sorry for the lame readme, I'll make a better one later.
