Today we got to have our first play around with phaser. We learnt how to use phaser by being sent an example with multiple different stages. I started messing around with it by making the health system more advanced and having it show hearts depending on how much health you have. It was really fun to start messing around with phaser this way. We were also shown the phaser documentation which I’m sure will come in very handy over this project.

Today we were told to start deciding on what to make for our game. I decided to make a google doc to keep my research and some of my ideas moving forward. I decided that I wanted to make a top down, twin stick shooter style game inspired by similar games like Tormentor x Punisher, Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne to name the main ones I was inspired by. I decided this would be fun to do since I hadn’t made a top down shooter game before so I knew it would still be a bit more engaging than making something similar to what I have before.
