Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
What are some games that simultaneously have milking + patterns that scale with time/repetition or soft timeouts? The only ones I know of are Guwange, the Shikigami no Shiro series and the occasional Touhou pattern. None of them fully embrace the concept although Guwange's stage 2 and 3 bosses are pretty good.

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
Is there any way to practice the stages or bosses in Cho Ren Sha 68K?
I'm playing the X68000 version in an emulator through retroarch, but it doesn't support save states.
I've got the game down pretty solid through the first 5 stages but it'd be nice to single out some of the areas in stage 6 and 7.

Is Aka Blue getting any sort of home port? This touch screen shit is for the birds and Exa is obviously not an option for me.

In the long run probably a home switch port wich is the safer bet for indi programmers. We have seen it already with other cell phone games.XoPachi wrote:Is Aka Blue getting any sort of home port? This touch screen shit is for the birds and Exa is obviously not an option for me.
The question is when, but that is another story.

Does the Switch port of Strikers III include the option to play as the X-36?

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
Are there any good shmups that don't have a soundtrack?
Sounds like a silly question, I know, but I'm at a point in my development cycle where I have to choose between sound effects or just a soundtrack -- I don't have a budget for both unfortunately.

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
I don't know any with zero BGM whatsoever, but R-Type Final uses long stretches of simple ambient sound to good effect. Depends on the mood you're going for, I guess - could see it working in a horror/sci-fi setting like RTF's, especially if the SFX are striking/chilling enough. Much less in a triumphal tale of glory like Winds of Thunder.
I was actually playing Raiden V with the BGM off the other day, having always loved Moss's formidable explosion SFX. Wasting a sniper tank platoon sounds quite literally thunderous. Definitely looked a bit weird when the camera would zoom in as the ship dramatically blasted off to the next stage sector though!

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
Just FYI, there are whole freeware libraries of sound effects for all purposes out there. Freeware music is a thing too but much more limited so it makes more sense to spend funds on that.

What are some good PC shmups outside of Steam? So far I know only about Battle Traverse and Rolling Gunner.

Check out Jishou no Chihei Mendako, aka Flying Pancake Octopus in Blackhole.Arthandas wrote:What are some good PC shmups outside of Steam? So far I know only about Battle Traverse and Rolling Gunner.
It's in the Space Invaders style, but it's one of the few games of that style that feels fresh, fast-paced, and exciting. Pretty accommodating difficulty as well. Even better, it's freeware! Check out the thread.
The same dev made Cambria Sword, which I haven't played but has its fans here. Its caveat is that it's more of a epic, epic-length shmup (I think a full run is 3 hours?). I suspect its meant to be played in chunks, not a single sitting. Flying Pancake is more arcade length.

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
Blue Wish Resurrection and Eden's Aegis are a good place to start. Both are free doujin danmaku, and are both of high quality. If you like classic shmups, Super Hydorah is on itch.io, as well, and has a lot of Gradius and Darius influence. And for classic PC shmups, both Tyrian 2000 and Stargunner are free on GOG.Arthandas wrote:What are some good PC shmups outside of Steam? So far I know only about Battle Traverse and Rolling Gunner.

In addition to what everyone else said, my personal favorite free shmup is Cho Ren Sha 68k. It is frenetic and filled with macrododging.Arthandas wrote:What are some good PC shmups outside of Steam? So far I know only about Battle Traverse and Rolling Gunner.

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
Yep, there are widgets for tate mode too, you just need to re-enable them after setting the display to tate mode. I don't remember if there's an actual rank graph, but you can see the rank percentage at the very least.Ddshot wrote:So been playing a lot battle garrega ps4,I’m playing it in Tate.does any one know if you can display the rank graph at the top or bottom?

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
In Gradius II, is the Option Hunter would appear some times after you have got the 4th Options?
In other words, if I don't get the 4th options (stay with three), the Option Hunters would never appears?

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
^ Correct - basically, when you get the fourth Option, a timer starts ticking down to the Option Hunter's appearance. That's how it works in Gradius V anyway... pretty sure II is the the same.

Does anyone know if it's possible to extract the rom from the Steam version of Judgement Silversword or to play it in an unfiltered resolution with properly scaled pixels?

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
In the HD releases of Under Defeat there's actually 4 selectable helicopters. The two default ones, one that has no charge attack, and a larger one that has homing missiles in addition to the usual weapons. For the two default helicopters that come in red and green, I can't tell any performance differences between them. There might be some, but if so then the difference is subtle.

Is DoDonPachi Resurrection on Steam the best port of DaiFukkatsu in terms of content? Wikipedia says it basically has all the content from the previous ports/versions, is that true?

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
It has all the content from the 360 ports of DFK and DFKBL, including Black Label Arrange which was exclusive to the standalone disc version of DFKBL. It doesn't have anything from the smartphone versions or anything like that, though. It also doesn't have DFK 1.0, but I don't think that version is accessible anywhere except MAME.Arthandas wrote:Is DoDonPachi Resurrection on Steam the best port of DaiFukkatsu in terms of content?
