Glad we're back.

Been playing a lot of Einhander lately. Not very well, but everyone starts somewhere. Great game.

>twinkle star sprites is on Fightcade
Didn't know this before, this'll be lots of fun. Thanks.

Who /tuna sashimi/ here?

More /toy/ related than vidya but
>mfw I finally managed to snag shooting game historica set 4 at a decent price
I am so ready to get that Iron Fossil figma when it comes out.

is this real life?

Treasure made the best stgs
A shame Iuchi made so few, hes a genius

>>3366337
Damn right, Ikaruga is the best game the genre has to offer.

>>3366184


I'm Gutsybird, let's fucking go.

Why don't you make your own STG, /vr/?
It's actually quite easy. Just takes some time.

>>3366501
what tool should I use?

>>3366527
Use Game Maker. It's relatively simple and has a lot of good tutorials.
If you are good enough you can make games like this with it:

>>3366501
I've been thinking about it. I'd either go with something like Boogie wings or something stupid with lots of guro.

>>3366539
Coding stuff like in Boogie Wings with the ship changing could be quite difficult. I'd rather go for something a bit "classic", like R-Type or Gradius or whatever.

>>3366543
Yeah, it would be. But I'm the kinda' guy that wants the core concept of a game to stand out.

>>3366564
I see what you mean. And I agree, if you want to make a truely good stg you have to find some core gameplay which makes it unique.

I recently saw an unfinished game by some unknown guy, who made an stg where you can switch on the fly between horizontal and vertical view, and depending on which view you currently have you can shoot certain enemies. It was in 3d though and made in unity, but I thought that actually was a genius idea. It#s basically something like the polarity mechanic from Ikaruga.

>>3366570
That's a little more complex than the polarity mechanic for sure. But it is pretty neat.

>>3366579
It's a bit more complex yes, but it's basically very similar. If you have horizontal view for example, there can appear enemies in the background which you can not shoot, and to shoot them you have to switch to vertical view.

You could make some really neat enemy encounter puzzles with this, where you have to figure which view is best to use in each situation, just like in Ikaruga.

>>3366590
You mean the greatest game of all time, Ikaruga?

>>3366593
No, I mean the ultimate Magnum Opus masterpiece of all time, Ikaruga.

Is Trizeal remix any good?

>>3366501
Lmao that's a shitty example

>>3366501
Made one. Would make another, but been preoccupied with stuff.

I never finished my DOJBL 2-all either...

What Psikyo game does /vr/ thinks is the best? Is it the original Strikers?

>>3366998
Dragon Blaze has the most fun scoring system and gameplay.

>>3366998
I think i like Strikers II the best, fun enemies/bosses, good music for psikyo standards and nice graphic improvement over 1.

>>3366501
>Suddenly stationary basic ships in an "R-type game"
Vomit.

>>3367516
Make a better r-type game.

>>3366998
What do you guys think of Sol Divide?

>>3367580
>characters in an STG
Disgusting. Keep that gay shit for the FGC

>>3367512
>nice graphic improvement over 1.
Is this a fucking joke or do you have fucking shit eyesight? Strikers 45 has stunning hand drawn sprites whilst 45 2 is an ugly bitch that combines shit brown with pre rendered sprites and fucking microsoft word font for titles, both great games but please behave yourself on the graphics shite.

>>3366817
>Is Trizeal remix any good?
Yes.

>>3366998
>What Psikyo game does /vr/ thinks is the best? Is it the original Strikers?
Mostly yes, the 2nd loop is totally evil bollocks though.

>>3367564
No, I'd rather leave it to the original devs who know not to taint their IP with a shit version. If I made my own shmup it would be original, not based off someone else's idea so I wouldn't fuck up other people's expectations.

>>3367708
Judging by how you sound you probably couldn't even make a clone let alone something original.

>>3367649
i first thought the same as you but nowadays i'm more impressed with the boss animations on Strikers II desu, not to mention it runs on better hardware too

>>3366998
Still play it with my friend to this day. I can't believe how expensive it's gotten.

Whose mame collection has more shumps, /vr/s shmupg or /vg/s shmupg?

Are there any other games that use "Nice Bomb" like Gunbird 2, where you get points for using a bomb right before being hit by an enemy shot?

Shmups Skill Test

>>3367715
Yes, because in two posts you can judge how well anyone can do anything.
Personally I hate working on games. I did it for 3 years and had enough of that. I'll stick to working on HRIS thanks.

>>3368073
sure thing asshloe

>>3367916
They are the same shit.

watching evo made me realize again how glad I am that shmups are unpopular
fighting games really became a huge cringe fest

>>3366395
Would you still be up for playing?
I'm pretty bad

Is there a worse feel than dying while still having bomb stock?

Just no-missed the first 4 stages of Trizeal. The bit in stage 5 where you go down the chamber and have to avoid the cross bridges is pretty cool, but the part right after with the rotating guns is a bitch and a half.

>>3367716
>not to mention it runs on better hardware too
Implying this equates to better graphics, you're not very bright are you?

>>3369049
In this case it does just like in Gunbird 2. Strikers I didn't even look good, if you want good hand drawn play Raiden DX or Viper Phase 1

>>3369049
In this case it does just like in Gunbird 2. Strikers 1 didn't even look good because of the dry animations, if you want good hand drawn play Raiden 2/DX.

>>3367916
>/vr/s shmupg or /vg/s shmupg?
If you're referring to the Shmupmame packs, I just want to tell you that the old version originally got created and distributed on /v/ and the new pack only on /vg/. /vr/ does not have a Shmupmame pack as far as I know.

No it doesn't, you're the first person i've ever encountered that thinks strikers 45 2 looks better than the original. Gunbird 2 DOES look nice and showed psikyo coming into their stride with the pre renders but 45 2? it's shit brown.

>>3366501
I want too eventually, it'd probably too much of a parodius knock-off though...

/vr/'s opinion on MUSHA?

Just realized last night that after the last steam sale I have all the Raiden titles available on PC. Think I'm going to play through them again.

>>3369657
Typical shit Compile pacing but the music and aesthetics are fabulous.

>>3369837
You mean Raiden Legacy? I wouldn't play them that way if I were you...

How's my DDP bros doing?

>>3371082
I got the 1-all a while back. Really do mean to go back and get into the loop, but I apparently lose motivation very quickly when I already have a 1-all.
