I'm honestly unsure whether to put this in Off-Topic or Development since as the title suggests I wanted to make something of a tribute to one of my favorite shmups, but it's not a shmup itself. It's very early in progress (sprites are unfinished, I just now finished basic attack animations and there's no actual combat flow yet), but I figured there's just barely enough done to make a post about it and get some opinions on the idea

I started replaying Zoids Legacy a while ago, thought about how many ships are in R-Type Final, thought about the tons of awesome moe anthropomorphism art of the ships I've seen in the past, and one thing led to another. Really I'm mostly curious if anybody else has given any thought to crossing these two series in any way (theyre both vaguely mechs i cant be the first to hatch this idea) but also it would help the old motivation if somebody else shared my enthusiasm for seeing this idea realized
