what they didnt was have some designers come up with "texture sets" for the ships...like skins.
they then had a shop were you could buy ship skins.
another idea is to have different hull shapes.
such as a split nose hull etc etc.
also different wing shapes
heavy and blocky, smooth and curvey etc etc
those are just some of my ideas.
i could help you with the game amking if u like.
like developing ideas and ways they could be implemented.
just randomly shoting out ideas at the moment.
not very focused XD
Aha! I get you now. That's actually a pretty cool idea. However, it is but a superficial one, and thus will not have insanely high priority. Functionality first, THEN make shit look real good. Not to mention the fact that the player ship could use a less angular design. We, as humans, tend to like our spaceships sleek. The aliens? Not so much. But hey, they're aliens.
However, a level editor may be a bit far out. While possible, it would require quite a bit of work, and i'm FAR from done with the main game. I won't rule it out entirely, though!
@Zayex: Thanks! And yeah, i most certainly am an amateur. Charging money for this game would be a crime against humanity. :U
As for the YoYo games account, it is being considered.
@Cavoe: No really, you don't have to be a game developer to criticise games. Just like you don't have to be a chef to criticise food, either. =P
But yeah, the current iteration is indeed very simple (dodge shoot repeat), though the next version will feature super shots, which may require a tiny bit of thought. Using one depletes your super bar, so you won't be able to fire one more for some time.
Also, fiddling with the GUI.
