Kizuna Doponypachi - My Little Pegasus

Just seen this on newStage:
Ketsui/My Little Pony Hybrid Shmup

Obviously everybody needs this:





Ha ha- this guy's also made another Ketsui themed shmup Trigonometry Wars 4



Even if you don't actually play it the "How To Play" screen from the game menu is absolutely fucking hilarious.

Here's the "How To Play" screen from Trigonometry Wars 4

Here's the "How To Play" screen from Trigonometry Wars 4

This makes me want to be a game developer when I grow up.

"What's that? You want the actual controls? FINE ASSHOLE!"

[SuperSoaker360]

"How to play" screen

I applaud this man.

"PROTIP: DON'T DIE. IT WILL FUCK YOUR SCORE UP."

[Jaimers]

Bitches don't know about my pony shmup.

SWAG

[SuperSoaker360]

Shit, Jaimers. I was happy enough with my 50mil.

Am I the only one who actually likes the game?
There's true final boss in tsuujou already, almost got there with 65mil score.
And insane ura-loop requirements, no miss & 75m score in the first loop.
Wait what... 75m... in the FIRST loop?

You're not the only one, I think the game is pretty fun. Someone should start a high score thread.
I still don't know why Alt+F4 lets you play in windowed mode. Seems a little irregular.

[Jaimers]

No I didn't make it. It was a joke.

Goddamnit man.

[Zeether]

Just when I thought bronies couldn't get worse.

[Giest118]

Maker of those games here.

I was rather wondering where those extra plays were coming from. Then Jaimers linked me to this thread and I was all like "OH."

Thanks to those of you who like them. A high scores thread would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

i wish i was a competent programmer.

i could start a kickstarter that proposes to make a serious mlp shmup and become rich over night.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

if you want to become rich you need to follow other game examples and make something losers will buy and dump tons of money into despite it sucking like a vacuum cleaner

MLP-themed farmville or some shit

[Blackbird]

I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, Giest. ...Wait, I remember now, weren't you on Rose's let's play/livestream channel? I seem to recall you spoke up when the subject of bullet hell/DDP was brought up. Surprised I haven't seen you around here before, given your interest in shmups.

Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums.

Why, yes. I am on her livestream channel sometimes. :V

Trigeometry 3 is way better than 4.
Note that you've got 3 fire modes, Z, X and C, and bombs SPACE

You might like this new game mode I'm working on adding to 4. It's basically TW4 with TW3's mechanics.

[Giest118]

May I ask you, why haven't you been here already?
It seems like you know all the games, know the most kickass soundtracks, know some scoring mechanics...
Do you even play much yourself?
Tell me/us more

There kind of... isn't a reason that I haven't been here? Dunno. Can't really explain that. XD

I do play plenty of shmups though, everything from Touhou to x.x's stuff to Crimzon Clover to Cave. I even have a Youtube channel where I have videos of a bunch of random shmup 1cc's and other games that I did playthroughs of for the lulz.

[SuperSoaker360]

Giest, you should check out the development section. I'm sure you could find some useful things in there - maybe even start a thread on a game project you might be working on.

This, especially considering this is Game Maker he's working on.

Come to the Development Giest118, we have..... Dodonpachi lasers!

[O. Van Bruce]

At first I was like this... then I played it.


anyway... it shouldn't be that difficult if I got to stage 5 boss with a keyboard (I'm a shitty keyboard player)

[Blackbird]

Ok, giving this a go. Time to bust out the Saturn pad. Game pad support out of the box, nice =).

I got to Stage 5 with RD on the blind attempt. The chaining feels a little fiddly... I don't have a gauge and the chain breaks if I breathe, so it's like I'm playing DonPachi all over again. The combination of point blanking + chain makes it feel very much like KetsuiPachi to me... I guess that was the point, though =P.

Two things that would improve this game:

1) Make the game install to a folder. It spews files all over my desktop whenever I run it.

2) Allow me to configure the controls.

1) Make the game install to a folder. It spews files all over my desktop whenever I run it.

And then it removes them when the game ends. I could make the game install to a folder, but I feel like that wouldn't actually... affect anything. I guess if more people request that?

2) Allow me to configure the controls.

No.

Not because I disagree that it would be a good idea, but because Game Maker actually makes it unreasonable to do that.

[BPzeBanshee]

DISCLAIMER: Yoyogames' download service is being godawful slow for me for some reason so I haven't downloaded any of these titles yet. If there's a functionality I'm discussing that's already been implemented here I apologise.

You got a request here. I don't think including the files in the EXE to be extracted is such a good idea anyway if that's what's being done but the differences on most computers would indeed be probably marginal.

2) Allow me to configure the controls.

Controls for keyboard stuff isn't the easiest thing in the world but THERE ARE examples out there for such.

If game pad configuration is what Blackbird wants that's more than possible - Nimitz implemented it in GMOSSE (see signature). The biggest change you'll have to do is either change all your keyboard events to if statements in a step (sounds harder than it is) or use the variables in GMOSSE's scr_input for virtual key pressing (that event_key_press one I forgot what it was called precisely). The keyboard controls are hardcoded but the joystick/gamepad keys are changeable by number.

The end user will only have to know what button on their pad corresponds to what number, which is straightforward enough to figure out via Control Panel if the controller itself doesn't have said numbers etched into the buttons.

I'll have a look at GMOSSE later when I'm at my desktop computer if indeed it does make it doable. Question though: I've never used GMOSSE. Your signature says it's a Game Maker shmup engine, but I don't really know what that entails. Is it just a series of scripts that make certain things easier?

Congrats Giest on being mentioned on EQD. They clearly know little of shooters, but that should get your game some traffic.
