HI and nice to meet ya all, I´am Max, a game designer from Argentina.
The reason of this topic is basicly do some resarch, and learn more about this genre ( learning new stuff about stuff is never enough for me ) As a game designer my job is to create experecies and i love to hear from others developers of this awesome genre the answer for the next question :
What do you think they are the best moments or the best mechanics that you ever played on a shmup Game. ?
i know maybe this is to wide to answer cos there are so many good games, but i´m trying to trigger that particularly memory that keeps that little moment of enjoyment, generated for that big final boss or that especial enemy that shoots those big round poison balls . ( just to clarify : it can be anything you remember )
beacuse i´m in the process of develop a new Shmup that will arrive to Ps4, XbOne and Pc next year ( a 3d one with some cool camera transitions , sorry i can´t say very much about it, but i will share more info soon ). this opinions hopefully will improve my designs, and eventualy bring some fun new shmup to play with.
Thank you all, and my apologies for my english is little bit rusty.
