Rapid Prototyping Sessions at Shmup-Dev

[Motorherp]

Hi all. Unfortunately due to other responsibilities of the admins at shmup-dev the next official competition has had to be delayed. To fill the gap we've started a whole new chapter in the story of shump-dev, 'rapid prototyping sessions'. These will be short game development sessions based around pre-determined concepts and rule sets designed to encourage people to explore new ideas and develop their skills in a friendly and non-threatening community environment. Hopefully we'll be pushing some boundaries of the genre here as well as learning a lot and having a great deal of fun in the process. All are welcome so if you're interested please visit the new prototyping board and take part. Good luck all.

Just two questions:

-Rule for this week is that player can't shoot. Are close-range attacks allowed? I always wanted to make a shmup based on ramming enemies

-I'm don't have an account on shmup-dev. Can i just join and start right away?

Sure thing, it's within the rules. Let your creativity run wild.
