Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Looks a bit too derivative specially for so talented and experienced people, hopefully I'm wrong.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Remember what happened last time he did the OST for a Mega Drive shooter? Yeah, that's right, fucking Slap Fight MD, one of the best soundtracks on the system (and one of the best games on the system and the single best STG on the system, for that matter). Will insta-buy.

I have no doubts he will knock it out of the park with the soundtrack for his own game.
His soundtrack for SOL CRESTA is insanely great, very energetic and catchy.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
It worked for Manabu Namiki with GG Aleste 3. I wonder how Yuzo Koshiro can do this? Either way, I'm pumped.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
He's (obviously) doing the soundtrack and some gamedesign, any word on who else is involved?
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
I’m cautiously optimistic. At least the music will be good.

I'm down for a copy. Whether its a paid or free download, a cartridge, or stuck on something like a Mega Drive Mini 3.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
I'm cautiously excited. I'm a big fan of 16-bit shoot em ups, so it's a no brainer.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Great news. Always exciting to see new good (not cheep indie/demoscene garbage) games being developed for 8/16-bit systems. I'm looking forward to see what will become out of it.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Looks like it's using SGDK .. https://twitter.com/yuzokoshiro/status/ ... 9470411777
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Is there youtube vid or smth?
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
It's very early in development. Doesn't even have a title yet.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
I see. I'll wait before trying to repost all this like a "news", then.

Not to mention the extremely underrated Maximum Tune OSTs(outside of the scene anyway).FunktionJCB wrote:Koshiro continues to be a top-tier composer.Steven wrote:Remember what happened last time he did the OST for a Mega Drive shooter?

Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
I'm all for it. I'm surprised that there aren't more old school game designers releasing indie games. Maybe this will start a trend.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Micky Albert was doing it already though
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Nice art. Enemies movement patterns are dull, though. And they appear to have noclip enabled ..

Probably not quite at a point where enemy patterns can be legitimatey critiqued.
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
That 'swoop in' animation is really good shit for the MD. Looking solid to me. If this is 5% complete, I'm optimistic that it'll be something worth paying attention to.

Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Looks like a good start.
That little swoop-in animation at the start of the stage is evidence they're not going to be that strict on the ROM size.

Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
I call major bullshit on this being 5% complete if we're already working on level intro animations. That, or it's a BADLY mismanaged project.
Formerly known as 8 1/2. I return on my second credit!

Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
the animation was likely made first because it's supposed to be eye-catching and unique.

When you're making cool hobby'ish projects like that, the first things you make are always the cool ideas you had in your head that you want to see carried through.

Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Wow it looks great!!! Really looking forward to ZPF as well. Are there any homebrews of this quality available right now for the Genesis? Heck any good homebrews in general since even trying to google that would be tricky.

Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
I'm only interested if its one of those ROM sizes that is 10x bigger than the original carts that pushes the limits of animation on the MD. Like those fighters made a few years ago.
I like the palette though thats unique or at least to my collection it is. If its just just another run of the mill MD shooter, well there are lots of those already.

This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.

You could basically assume that from the ship’s intro animation alone, butneorichieb1971 wrote:I'm only interested if its one of those ROM sizes that is 10x bigger than the original carts that pushes the limits of animation on the MD. Like those fighters made a few years ago.

In the twitter thread he goes on to mention that the animation is possible because memory isn’t an issue at this point
So, I guess they’re going all out with the memory
Re: Yuzo Koshiro is making new MD shmup.
Yeah there is really no reason not to put much bigger games in homebrew cartridges nowadays unless your goal is specifically to work within "original limitations" - which is completely respectable given it's kind of the reason we do homebrew in the first place. Just everyone has their own ideas of where the limitations begin and end.
