More than likely I'd just end up bitching about how every indie developer has the entirely wrong approach when it comes to making games.
Do it.
I love how you self-promote yourself and your "next-gen" shmup which HAS nothing/brings nothing new to the table. Rich+++ Reputation--- boy. Hellsinker is your best bet on doujins.codergames wrote:I think you should do an article about Invader Attack and mention my next game Galaxide ... and then I'll truly feel love from your blog. Helping a new indie shmup developer out would be very rewarding for you, I assume.
I would also like to hear about this. Start a new thread?alastair jack wrote:Do it.Udderdude wrote:More than likely I'd just end up bitching about how every indie developer has the entirely wrong approach when it comes to making games.
Well, it's only a press release so the main difference will probably turn out to be that the author actually sent it along to IGN whilst other indie devs don't.schnoo wrote:http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/110/1109077p1.html
So yeah I am trying to figure out why this guy got press releases over all the other indie shooters I see.
Hard to say what may or may not be wrong without actually playing it, but looking at his videos it isn't much different to some of the poorer XBLIG titles (the two iterations of Retro One or Overkill spring to mind).schnoo wrote:It's meant to be a playful article, but I would like to get a gang of devs on here to say what's wrong with his project, ways he could improve it

haha oh wowcodergames wrote:You obviously hate both, shmups and people who play them. I love shmups and trying to be original as possible. There's no way your "article" will change that.
You don't even know what you're saying. If he had hated both shmups and people, he would be banned already years ago since he wasn't, he's alright. You're the one hating on here silly boy, spreading the hatred like the fire spreads across the goddamn forests. Something's wrong with you man, very wrong. Also you may not realise who you are hating on but he created one of most played "homemade" shmups over here known as XOP Black. You should learn from him as he did things right in his shmups. Stop the hating, get to work and improve your shmups by learning from other shmups. As your shmups are quite amateur.codergames wrote:You obviously hate both, shmups and people who play them.

Face the reality and the facts put right before your own eyes old man. Sorry but if you can't design better graphics than a kid could do in 5 minutes in photoshop. You have absolutely no right to say XOP Black looks amateurish considering your games are considered far far worse by everyone graphics-wise AND gameplay-wise. Oh and by the way, XOP Black is free unlike your AMATEUR game which costs 10 dollars. Also if you didn't like his article, you're pretty blind. What he stated there (despite being incomplete) is the truth about the genre. It's your own problem if you sit in your own reality/thoughts and have other's thoughts in your own backdoor.codergames wrote:I saw that game, not bad, but I don't like it, amateurish graphics. I like Raiden series much better, plus Xevious and Raiden is something I played on real arcade machines when I was much younger. I'm guessing that I'm much older than all of you, so the "boy" remark is not really appropriate.
... and I don't hate him, I don't even know him, I just read his article ... pretty bad stuff from my point of view. I would never say anything bad about shmups or people who play them. I don't get it, if he was the one who made that game, obviously he likes shmups, but he's saying things quite the contrary in his article.
