Shmup formulaic research topic

Post by christianbelchior »

Okay, I actually have plenty of stuff I can say with this topic.
Well, since there is a lot of things in shmups that are operated with a formula which is not yet figured out, such as the formula in X360 Guwange which can explain the scoring problems it has compared to PCB and MAME, and also the score sublimation bonus in TranscendPang, and others such as the chip bonus on Ketsuipachi and basically a lot of stuff about Mushihimesama Futari's arrange mode and the enemy score calculation of Daifukkatsu Arrange B, which I mentioned in a old post of mine which basically got no replies.

Furthermore, Eschatos has the sole example I can mention: the item score calculation, which I researched with the Twitch chat of a shmupper, and like Daifukkatsu Arrange B, Radio Zonde's calculation of Sol, Luna and Stella gains, also including the enemy score calculation.

I've decided to set up a list of everything figured out with this thread, here:

Code: Select all

List of formulas figured out
-------------------------------------
DFK Arrange B enemy score pieces
DFK Arrange B boss score pieces
-------------------------------------
List of formulas I think need research
-------------------------------------
TranscendPang score sublimation bonus
Akai Katana Shin gold score
Radio Zonde sol/luna/stella
First pieces of progress!

Might be worth a look: https://shmups.wiki/library/DoDonPachi_ ... _Arrange_B

Also, I've never touched this personally but here's a ton of info on TranscendPang: https://shmups.wiki/library/Transcendpang

You might want to talk to Raadgiver and Dolphin if you're wanting info on something super specific regarding them.
I haven't actively browsed/used this forum in many years and it's no longer an accurate representation of me.

I have retired from genre-specific content creation after 13 years, but I'll always love this little genre in my own personal way.

Worth some additions to the list. Thanks, Elixir.
