Welcome to the new site! (Or if you&#8217;re reading this in the future, welcome to&#8230; the site.)<\/p>\n<p>So, Bleed 2 is a thing! It&#8217;s a work-in-progress, big time (I don&#8217;t even know if it&#8217;ll be called Bleed 2 when it&#8217;s done. It&#8217;s just easier than always saying &#8220;the new Bleed&#8221; or &#8220;the Bleed sequel&#8221;.) I&#8217;ve been working on it for a long time, and would like to start sharing some of the reasons I&#8217;m excited for it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Better graphics!<\/h4>\n<p>The game will feature a more clean, colourful and exaggerated art style, along with smoother animations and particles. I don&#8217;t have any complete environment art in place yet, but here&#8217;s a comparison between some of Wryn&#8217;s sprites from the first game and the second.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootdiskrevolution.com\/NEW_BLOG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/artStyle.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-165 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootdiskrevolution.com\/NEW_BLOG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/artStyle.gif?resize=450%2C300\" alt=\"artStyle\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Better weapons!<\/h4>\n<p>The starting weapon this time is a pistols\/katana combo &#8212; the initial attack is a katana slash, followed almost immediately by the pistols (it&#8217;s a delay of 100 milliseconds, or 6 frames, right now.) You can also select them separately and switch between them if you dislike the combo weapon.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootdiskrevolution.com\/NEW_BLOG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/pistolsKatana.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-167 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootdiskrevolution.com\/NEW_BLOG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/pistolsKatana.gif?resize=300%2C150\" alt=\"pistolsKatana\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>You&#8217;ll be able to carry as many weapons as you like at a time, and I&#8217;m working to make sure each one is fun, powerful and unique. This may result in a few less weapons overall, but each one will actually be useful and viable in a variety of situations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Better gameplay!<\/h4>\n<p>Having constant access to the katana allows bullet reflecting to be a core mechanic. Now any purple-coloured attack can be reflected, and not just bullets &#8212; enemies&#8217; physical attacks can be parried and turned against them, too.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootdiskrevolution.com\/NEW_BLOG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bossFight.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-166 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootdiskrevolution.com\/NEW_BLOG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bossFight.gif?resize=480%2C270\" alt=\"bossFight\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a>Expanding on bullet reflecting in this way adds\u00a0more options to combat, lends a certain rhythm to gameplay, and allows boss fights to be more exciting and varied! I think it&#8217;s a big deal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">More more more!<\/h4>\n<p>Finally, Bleed 2 will have about twice as many boss fights as the original. Just sayin&#8217;. I also have plans for all kinds of new modes, powerups and other extras, but I&#8217;ll keep those vague until I know I actually have time to make them (the core game comes first!)<\/p>\n<p>I hope this has got you a bit excited for the new game. I look forward to posting more about it as the weeks pass and development progresses!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi! Welcome to the new site!
