Love Is A Battlefield by F1Krazy combines a bullet-hell shooter with a dating sim. On the surface, it’s a game about shooting hearts at coloured circles while your date asks you if you know who Pat Benatar is for the sixth time. Deep down, though, it’s about helping others to deal with their insecurities and break down their emotional barriers.

I continued working on getting sprite 0 hit detection working. And it did finally work, but I couldn’t get it to scroll vertically after sprite 0 hit is triggered. I learned today that apparently you can’t do that like you can with the horizontal scroll. Need to research about that some more. Update: I have researched this and have a solution. Requires some optimization though
Taco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System / Super Famicom makes even more progress.

When we discussed last week, 1041uuu suggested placing coins on the field to give player ‘fun of collecting items’ and it looks good. Now I’m considering ‘reward’ coins which will appear after player wins all fishes.

After being off for a week we did some small optimizations, messed with how levels are loaded, and then played around with sprite 0 hit detection. It was a pretty fun stream because I was mostly messing around with the NES code and not the asset tool. I need to get map building working properly in the NES asset tool so we can get more serious about building backgrounds. I also need to figure out the sprite 0 hit detection better (or, you know, just figure it out)
