Silly fake game mock-up

Did a quick sketch for the boss/ player then got carried away. There needs to be an easier program for making games available! Dezaemon PC please.

You know what, I think a "sketchy" graphic style would be cool to see in a shmup, offhand I can't recall any thus far which have looked like that. Nice drawing, got any more, perhaps on a different shmuppish "theme?"

Nice work; reminds me of The Behemoth's style.

Yeah, that'd be like Rakugaki Showtime, but a shmup, right?

I love it, I've tried doing art like that before.

Plenty more drawings, but no other shooter related things. My website is linked below.

And thanks for the compliments! I've put the ship and boss sprites into Game Maker- so far I can shoot, damage and kill the boss and crash into it. Making the boss shoot cool patterns is going to be a pain though, I can tell.

There was something called ShooterMaker, a Japanese program that worked under the same principles as Dezaemon - background and scenery tiles, sprites, simple code - but the games were pretty primitive by todays make-it-yourself programs. Done by the same group that released RPGMaker a long time ago.

There was also that program that Alluro used to make his homebrew shmup, I forgot the name of the program though -_- The output looked pretty good though.

Oh, and good stuff on the sketchy shmup idea ^_^ I'd love to see a good shmup that did graphics in a sketchy style like Rakugaki Showtime, or a crayon-like style similar to Yoshi's Island.

Alluro made his shmup in macromedia fusion, if I am not mistaken.

And Shooter Maker is actually VERY powerful, I've seen some fantastic games made with it. But it never got a proper english translation as far as I know, which makes it really hard to use.

Cigs - I like your art style. Looks great.

Hi,

Check out my yahoo group:

http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/ShooterMaker95/

There is a downloadable translated (ish) version of the maker, plus several demo games, and some notes I've made when using it.

It really is very powerfull, I just wish they'd release a completly translated version.

Those screenshots remind me of Jet Set Radio.

Your style is distinctive and interesting-- I would love to play a shmup with graphics like these.

Looks fantastic, although a nice hold-down-button laser would be even better
