Cheers

Reiner's Tilesets are free, even for commercial games. Not much for shmup stuff, but some of the backgrounds might be useful.

Hi,
I was after stuff you could use legally. I'm not quite at a stage where I need to worry too much about graphics, so I just thought I'd see what options where there for later down the line. I came up with...
- do them myself
- buy them
- find free ones
- ask someone else to do them
I might just use coloured blocks, afterall playability is the most important thing
Cheers.

Amen to the do-it-yourself comment.
You can get started here in learning how best to do it.
What I like to do, personally, since I'm doing my own Shmup project as well, is to Draw Big, and then shrink it down to a reasonable size using Bilinear Resampling and the image turns out great and you can clean up whatever you feel needs more detail.

The world would be a better place if there were less shooters and more dot-eaters.

Since there's so many people here doing their own shmups do any of you know any good equations and such for getting the points along a vector, for bullets and projectiles fired and various angles across the screen. I've been playing a lot of Gunbird2 on the DC and I'm courious about whay kinds of formulas they use to make all those goovy bullet patterns.

I think you should start a new thread for this, and to go practical, add examples of which bullet patterns you are talking about. A small .avi file consisting of just the pattern would be ideal, but for people who know the game a screenshot would probably suffice. The topic has no link to "shmup sprite packs", though.I've been playing a lot of Gunbird2 on the DC and I'm courious about whay kinds of formulas they use to make all those goovy bullet patterns.
Hi Lampton Worm,
I'm all in favour of the use temporary coloured blocks method.....and then just leave them in
Limefly have a few but not many
or there's a very simply tut to get you started.
