Eden's Eclipse

[BulletMagnet]

Don't think there's an existing thread for this one, but for any unfamiliar this is the latest project by x.x gameroom, who has done a bunch of freeware shmups over the years and more recently released their first paid game, covered here.

In any event, there's now a demo out, which at this point is just the first stage (no options menu, etc.), but it's there for anyone who wants to see where the game is currently at.

x.x gameroom does good work.

This is the same guy behind Blue Wish Resurrection Plus.

If you're using an X-Box 360 compatible joystick/pad:
Y: Auto-fire
A: Shot
X: Special Shot
B: Bomb

The four directional inputs map correctly to the joystick/d-pad.
A will confirm selections at the menu.

I put a video on youtube the other day if anyone wants to just look instead of playing.

It feels amazing already! Does he do his own music?

Seems the demo has been updated, though I haven't tried it myself yet.

Demo updated to 0.6, including a second playable character, whose special weapon gimmick I'm having a hard time figuring out.

Sorry to resurrect this thread @_@"...

...but does anyone know, does the dev (X.X Gameroom) actually post updates anywhere regarding the status of Eden's Eclipse?

Demo (1.0.1 (still "under development)) was released early 2023.

Seems like we haven't had an update for a while.

X.X Gameroom is super awesome and really been looking forward to this release!

Hopefully, like Blue Wish Desire, it will be a paid release; because they really deserve it for making top-tier STG's.
