Announcing Shmup Slam Stream Schedule for May 4th!

Post by Mark_MSX »

Here is the stream schedule for Shmup Slam! Wow this took way more organization than I had expected, but I think it'll be a really fun time. This bad boy is full of runs and is going to be 12 hours long ... oh my X-D

When you say "players can hang out"; does this event have a physical location that people can show up at and hang out in-person, or do you mean virtual hanging out and it's just an open twitch streaming group? (I'm assuming the latter but where I'm from "hang out" usually means in-person so I'm just curious).

Also: if you're doing this on May 4th you're basically obligated to connect it to Star Wars somehow :p

Interesting concept, thanks for taking the initiative on this. I have an idea for something TwinBee-related that I think people would enjoy, but I'll need to see if I can actually pull it off before the submission deadline...

Yeah it's a stream. Hang out for lack of a better term. I'll try and work in some sort of star wars connection ;-)

That would be awesome! Yeah the deadline is soonish, but I got bunch of stuff coming up in June and July (including Stunfest coverage) so I thought this would make a fun appetizer to the Stunfest demonstrations.

Just did! :wink: Hope others join in!

Took me less time than I expected to get the run I was looking for. Not sure if it was actually easier than I anticipated or if I've just been playing too much TwinBee... Anyway, I haven't seen any runs like it, so hopefully it's a fun watch.

I like the idea. I'll be trying to record a run to add to the festivities. Hope everyone is ready for some really mediocre skill :mrgreen:

I've submitted some Futari Ultra stuff (prerecorded though), should be a lot of fun.

On the submission form, do you prefer a youtube link, or a link to a direct download of the video?
