Alpha 2 released, and we've got forums!

Alpha version 2 is out. There is no additional content whatsoever in this release. *pout*

The main change is a drastic change to the behavior of all the enemies, making them much smarter and more aggressive. See what you think of the battles now and please share any suggestions. Also please tell me if it's too hard now! Remember, this is still the early part of the game, so I want the enemies to be interesting and to seem like they're actually trying to fight you, but not to be terribly dangerous overall.

Other changes:
  • your shield blocks shots only when standing still
  • you now bounce back slightly when attacking an enemy
  • changed damage formula so that damage starts falling off more slowly once it's below 1/4 attack power
  • various uninteresting bugfixes (note to self: if you're going to put in temporary code, mark it to be fixed later)
The alpha testing page with the game download has been moved to here, a post on our spiffy new forums. Enjoy! (I hope.)

Update: Video!

The enemy AI is much improved. The game plays very smooth. I spent about 8 minutes on the game and did not run into any errors. Nice work!
