Just to be clear: it's the DP series, NOT the DDP series.

Read up to here, and was convinced that this was a good idea. :lol:

Personally I think this is a great idea. It would lead to a new subset of CAVE fans that would draw mecha porn since there are only so many CAVE fans drawing mecha porn and we need some fresh mecha porn-drawing blood..

And it sounds like Vanquish, my personal Game of Generation Seven.

Mecha porn.
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.

Might work, also add touchscreen functionality, you can create a chain/combo system based around an entirely original idea, you swipe your finger on the fruits to cut them.

For some reason that reminded me of Woolworths' old slogan: 'Bringing food to life'.......back from the dead jolly ol' boy!

Also, Apple Arcade/Casper's Food thread. ;)

here's my idea for the next DDP.

You play as a rogue hibachi who got away from Longhena.
You face off against the player ships and carriers, and also the usual bosses.

In the end the player ship-pilots realize that you're the good guy and unite to fight Zatsuza with you.

Of course it would include some wacky way to control the bullet hell that hibachi makes.(probably as a gauge which fills up when you pick powerups/make big combos, and using your bullet hell attacks depletes the gauge)

The ship automatically dodges almost all bullets,and you must create your own complex-patterned bullet hell to hit it, while keeping your eye on the ever-depleting bullet hell attack gauge.

you must also activate your shield right before the ships bombs or you take massive damage, and of course, try to get hit as little as possible.


EDIT: you must hit the ship with your normal attack to fill up the bullet hell gauge, but the ship doesn't die when hit with the normal attack, only your gauge fills.

just for the record, playing as a boss is quite possible.

In fact, people have already done it. http://bossrushgame.com/bossrush/

now we just gotta modify that and apply it to hibachi.

also Gwangedash.


But they just function as more powerful player ships, not as bosses.
