IG Maker & GG Maker Shmup Examples

Post by hotgarbageindustries »

Hi all,

I'm new here, so if this doesn't really fit in, my apologies.

I just thought this may be useful to someone as there is very limited documentation surrounding both IG Maker & GG Maker (and even less
STG related)

I've compiled 3 of the demo shooters from both engines and uploaded them in zip files. This should hopefully give anyone interested an idea of
how each performs.

All of the files in each of the three zip files run directly and don't need to be installed.

GG Maker Shooter Demo - http://shmup.info/DemoCompiled/GGMakerShmup.zip (13.4mb)
IG Maker Shooter Demo - http://shmup.info/DemoCompiled/IGMakerSimple.zip (20.5mb)
IG Maker HD Shooter - http://shmup.info/DemoCompiled/IGMakerHDShooting.zip (72.8mb)

The HD actually looks like it has promise although I've not delved in to. It has a bit of a Supercharged Robot Vulkaiser vibe about it.

If you'd prefer not to download but wish to see the files, I'll upload something to YouTube if required.

Hope this helps

Dan

Well, friend, I played the games and these are my early impressions:

Simple game runs good, but in fullscreen mode, the graphics explode. Other games with same resolution don't cause this.
HD game runs great, no decrease quality between fulscreen or windowed modes.
GG game does not run. The sytem ask for "dx8vb.dll", and even after install it, the game not runs.
For other games, the controls are bad to brazilian players. See the reason:
