minor quality of life changes

changes from the last update

I did an update that adds functionality of the boost in boss fights by changing the vertical movement speed (also the horizontal but the scene type locks it)

minor changes to the AI

added more backgrounds for the backgrounds to give the idea that the characters are moving between levels (intro cutscenes)

level 2-1 is completely complete, but its pairing level 2-2 is mechanically done but no story done. until its pair is done, I won't release the levels.

I am going to release levels in pairs from now on. and adding the next set onto the summary down below

FAQ.

1.Q: why isn't the whole squad with Blair at all in the game?

A: mostly hardware limitations. I do have in lore reasons for it. chapter 2 will have more squad mates in the levels in fact level 2-2 has one in the level. (You can kill for a harder time at the boss as well as a significant point loss.) these will mostly be stationary, however.

2.Q: when do most of the intro cutscenes take place?

A: these take place after chapter 3 but before chapter 4 of Jem of twilight. (this means these are not in the Shadow flame timeline). it is more obvious on where now that I added more backgrounds to the intro cutscenes. there are a few that take place during the game's main time, but these will be more of a significant moment or add important lore to the game.

3.Q: what is the name of the boss in level 1-5?

A: the ship or the pilot. the ship doesn't really have a name while the pilot does Bias Flareglobe.

4.Q: will you give the name of the final boss?

A: I will not but keep Bias' final words in chapter 1-5 in mind (also even if I did would it be believable that I would freely give a major spoiler this early)

Continuing will give potential spoilers for the game

here is the story so far on the game for chapter 1 excluding intro cutscenes with Jem.

L1: Blair Foxend(brown fox kitsune) training with her secret service (her husband Sune [brown fox kitsune], Wind Signet [white human female], Lark Dragonsblade[white human male], Fire Deathripper[red haired female vampire]) witnesses a ship destroying her father in law's ship being completely destroyed. L2: After being officially coronated as queen of Eather(mars). Blair leaves to investigate due to one of her marital vows (this was to keep the peace between Earth and Eather which was a colony at the time). L3: Blair shoots her way through the spider web defense barrier (between Earth and Eather). L4: Blair is tricked into destroying a whole robot squadron. L5: Blair arrives on Earth and is captured immediately she was momentarily tortured until her mother (and Earth's ambassador. her name is Kit Highclaw [formally a shrine maiden]) was able to get it changed into a jail cell (her mother basically left the key in the lock after leaving). Blair tries to escape earth and is confronted by the Earth defense force's leader Bias Flareglobe (black human male). Blair was able to disable his ship (even though he is on the other side he still gives her advice to be careful around humans). 

extra note:(Blair ignored signs of a betrayal during this whole game until it was too late)

plans for chapter 2-1 and 2-2

L1: the chapter begins with Blair basically getting a head count of her military. even a retired admiral came out to fight (she does not make it through the chapter [her name is Daisy Whiteskull and was a black werewolf]). and she fends off an attack on Eather. a funeral for Daisy is held soon after. L2: during the funeral the Earth defense force ship captured in chapter 1 was stolen and was able to down Fire Deathripper(if you shoot her or collide with her you lose points). Blair is forced to aid fire to prevent the ship from leaving. this completely destroys the ship unlike chapter 1.
