IMPLEMENTED DYNAMIC EVENT SYSTEM

REDESIGNED AND BLENDED TWO DISPARATE GENRES
Modern design is brought to both PnC and SHMUP genres to help combine the two into a cohesive experience. Slow paced pixel hunting is removed with object outlining. Lock-and-key puzzles are eased with multi-use items and multiple solutions. SHMUP gameplay is slowed down with character dialogue and PnC interactions. SHMUP difficulty is toned down with regenerative health and narrative consequences replacing game overs.
