The final stage taking shape

So far the player has dug a hole under the road in the desert, and Dolan has driven right into it. For the final stage of the game, the player will need to refill the hole while Dolan leans out the window and takes potshots.

I confess I’m not entirely sure how this is going to work yet! But here’s what’s working so far, as shown in the GIF below:

• The player walks back on-screen.
• Dolan rolls down the car window and sticks his head & gun-arm out.
• Dolan can aim at any point on screen (currently tracking the mouse pointer, but that’s 100% temporary while I’m exercising the aiming code).
• The car wheels are no longer comically small.

Filling in the hole isn’t challenging, it’s just busywork, and gives the player a reason to move back and forth across the screen while getting shot at. The shooting will be the only thing preventing this stage from being completely trivial, but it also shouldn’t be impossibly difficult. I’ll sleep on it and see if I have a better idea tomorrow.
