VYRON: Relentless Space Combat

I'm David, and I built VYRON on my own over the last two years. The thing I'd point at first is the bosses. They watch how you fight - which side you drift to, when you hold fire, which weapon you lean on - and the later ones come back with counters to it. The Nemesis isn't a boss with a bigger health bar; it's an enemy built to beat the way you play. The other thing worth saying: there's no game engine under it. No Unity, no sprites, no textures. Every ship, every boss, every explosion is drawn live with Core Graphics calls, one frame at a time, at 60fps. I nearly abandoned that approach twice, and I wrote up honestly where it nearly fell over: https://davidforeman101.github.i... Happy to answer anything - the rendering pipeline, the boss AI, or what it's like shipping a solo game to two platforms from one codebase. I'll be here all day.
