I like this already.
It's okay to be uber-casual in shmup deving these days, ("the genre has died because of hardcore players!!") but someone has to still fill the hardcore demand.
Just make a good fucking danmaku, we haven't seen that in a long while.

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
I love watching games getting built and I'm glad to see the extra care given to graphics. I'm not a fan of 3d rendered graphics usually but these ships look damn pleasing to the eye. Good luck on the rest

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
I love the graphics, I really do. I'm not sure about this comment on your blog?
2. We are *incredibly* pretentious
3. No cliques?!
4. We are *definitely* assholes!!
5. you miiiiight wanna tone that sort of thing down a bit.. just saying
That said, what hardware is your framerate test running on? Do you have any up to date vids of actual gameplay etc? Details are a little sparse at the moment - but the two ships look very very promising.
Also yes, tanks. Everything needs more tanks.
1. It's not a wasteland at all!4. STG dev is pretty much a wasteland and free of pretentious assholes and indie cliques.

Anyway, I read the question on the blog about langauges and, in case you required an help for italian language, ask me without problems whatsoever.
For the record yes, I was the anonymous user behind the question (DUN DU-yadda yadda).

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
thanks! Back to backgrounds now.. It's a ridiculously ambitious project, but I hope I can deliver...
Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
Calling it now - this is going to be something special.
You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it.

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
wow - pressure is ON now!
My biggest enemy is TIME... doing everything in 720p is gonna be a huge timesink, backgrounds mostly...
My second biggest enemy is finding a character designer who can work from my rough image renders.. So far only one artist responded, and he is one of my personal heroes (pro mangaka, toy designer, mechanical designer and light novel illustrator), but his fees were astronomical.
Mechamusume style is a real problem because you need someone who can do both characters and complimentary mechanical armor in equal balance..
As I am trying to keep standards high as possible this is gonna be a problem or very expensive! - there is one other guy who is not so highly sought after but well reknowned in doujin circles whose art I am a huge fan of, but I will have to come up with some rough concepts for the other 2 characters before I can even consider giving them a proposal / brief..
I am working on the logo at present as my weekend is too fractured with social events to totally get my head back into the backgrounds - maybe I will finally announce the real title soon!

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
Yeah, welcome to hell.
Getting somebody to produce assets at an affordable rate to an individual is - to put it simply - fucking hard. Your choices are:
- Either accept it'll take forever and cost you a lot, don't bank on profit
- Find someone more affordable
- Do it yourself

Still going at it, background 1 is about 90% done, here's a quick player collision and powerup sandbox test.

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
Is it just me, or is the movement a bit wonky?

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
Right now it's just you. The movement is fast, and the option trails (which work the same way as in DFK) give the illusion of inertia, which is not a bad thing when you know it's not really happening. But that's probably what's making it look weird for you.
Holy moly I can't even describe how good this looks. From the very start, I've had the feeling that you know what you're doing, and it's only growing stronger with these updates.

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
It's probably the shitty vine framerate, I actually spent a lot of time replicating all the movement speeds from yusuke from esprade to start with, including the diagonal speed compensation that is in all cave games, which I was surprised to discover.
If you put the 2 games side by side, the screen traversal time is 100% exact.
As this is my first attempt at an STG , my methodology is that I should pay attention to what is working and accepted in existing commercial games so I can learn what they are doing and why, as opposed to thinking I knew better than them..I have a lot to learn.
Ship movement is now just a set of 3 variables that can be changed on a whim.
That code was actually done before I started on the backgrounds, ground enemy spline pathing, turret tracking and the typical zako movement is ready to be plugged in.

And yeah, I don't see anything wrong with the movement at all.
Wow though, quality music, art, and programming? You're seriously talented.

Re: New Shmup devblog outta Tokyo
You're going about this the right way. Nailing this stuff is more important than gfx and music, and it's already clear you have no problems in those areas either.
I'm sure it's fine.
