PC bros, will games like Mushihimesama and/or Eschatos display portrait if i shift the orientation from my graphics card settings? I previously just used game settings and physically turned my monitor when i wanted to play, but i moved my setup around and have a permanent portrait monitor as a result. Would like to use it for browsing as well as shmupping

>>122440730
Yeah, it'll probably show up on another platform though so I'm not worried.

It's supposed to be out this year though and they haven't even shown gameplay yet. fug.

>>122441517
They have portrait built in by default. It's tate mode that's optional.

>>122442281
That's what i mean. Brain on the fritz, working nights socks, etc

>>122442598
I'm not following you here. The option us built into the game; you dom't need to dick with your graphics card.

By default, the game is in portrait mode, but if you have a mount, you can rotate your monitor and put the game in tate to play it classic arcade "tall" style.

>>122442841
Eh, I'll mess around when I'm done with work.

After I get my fill of Mushihimesama, assuming that the next Cave title isn't released on Steam by then, I'm thinking about trying the Gunbird series. I played Gunbird 2 in an arcade once but it's long since closed.

Sadly the PC version of gunbird looks to be pretty bad with lack of features and poor localisation.

>>122458958
Steam version was clearly rushed out, they fixed some of the problems after it was released but it's still not quite there yet, and these are all things that should have been sorted before it came out.

So you started at UFO? Kind of a weird place to start. I say you give the 6th game, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil a try, the spellcards there are a bit more straightforward and not as gimmicky. If you keep playing 12 you're gonna have one hell of a time with curved lasers later on.

>>122464236

Nay, piracy.

Speaking of which, is there a game where I control a pirate flying ship?

So I purchased the Irem bundle with "In The Hunt", but in the pc port the controls suck (you have to use analog stick). Do you know of a release that allows arcade stick? Do you know how to force digital input? It sucks because it has my favourite R-Type in it too (Leo).

>>122466636
thanks, but I just wanted to play something visually nice and I find touhou 6 too not-challenging, but I'll play it again today

also are the 2hu games considered hard, should I feel happy about beating them on normal?

>>122468970
>also are the 2hu games considered hard, should I feel happy about beating them on normal?
That depends on what you're comparing them to. They're not the easiest, but they're definitely no Truxton 2 or Ketsui Ura.

>>122469220
I'm comparing them to the only game I 1cc'd and that's mushihimesama on original

>>122469683
most of the difficulty in Touhou stems from lack of knowledge. Few people are aware how the cherry system works in 7. Or that ReimuC bomb in 11 is ridiculously strong.

>>122469683
Most Touhou games are going to be easier to 1cc, especially if you're playing on normal.

>>122472909
>>122472049
I'll just continue playing the newer ones on normal cause the older ones on normal are too easy but I suck to much to actually finish them on hard

>>122473637
Easy doesn't necessarily mean bad, but if you're looking for hard then 11, 12 and 15 are the ones to try, though of those I only liked 11. Good luck with whatever you choose!

>>122473748
thank you, I hope I wont encounter much more of the trial error bullshit

>>122473637
you know... there is a higher difficulty than normal

>>122473870
Doesn't the entire genre in general have trial and error though? Touhou especially however since there is basicly always a way to clear a part much more efficiently than just raw dodging, and this applies to every single one of them except 9, but 9 is literally just RNG Bullshit the game.

Anyway, just don't try out 15, you'll hate it.

>>122474056
>but I suck too much to actually finish them on hard
I probably constructed the whole post weirdly, so sorry for that
>>122474339
>Doesn't the entire genre in general have trial and error though?
I wouldn't say so
I'm pretty new to the genre but so far I was playing the original dodonpachi, mushihimesama and blue wish ressurection +, in all these games I knew what I was supposed to do against each bosses attack, and when I failed it was mostly cause of my idiocy, but in for example touhou 11 with those green stationary bullets that follow you in stage 2 or 3, I'm not sure, you're just bound to die a few times before figuring out how to do it

>>122474339
literally every shmup is about learning how to play it
>bullshit
I see who I am talking to here....

>>122474574
Have you played touhou 9? it's a versus game where you basicly just have to outlast the opponent, it's RNG bullshit the game because the AI dodges the most impossible shit until it just randomly decides to run into a single bullet, it's not fun if your victory or loss is decided completely by RNG.

It's fun when playing with friends however.

>>122474838
yes I have played it, the AI is based on a timer

>>122474996
Only in extra mode is the AI based on a timer.

>>122475561
no, they always are. The timer is not 100% set, but there is a ~30 second window in which they will always die (timing depends on rank and stage). One way to confirm this: if you don't shoot at all the timer doesn't start, so people that play for score stall stages for 1 minute by not doing anything at first and do not lose anything because the stage will also last 1 minute longer.

So I was thinking, there isn't much difference between Cave 360 ports and the arcade games, would I be morally entitled to play the roms if I purchased either the 360 ports or pc ports?
Heck, I'd even say the 360 and pc ports have far more content.

I'm considering this currently, and it would open the door to me to a rom collection that I'd feel morally comfortable with, I could even build a vertical mamecab even.

I really don't see how it could be considered stealing, since I paid for a license of use already and each version is pretty similar with no notable differences in them save for a lack of content in the rom.

>>122464236

Niiice, Samidare.

>>122477276
Yes you can by steam port on christmas sale and then have moral entitlement to snatch a candy cab from game center.

>>122477792
>on christmas sale

No, I already own the games, I'm not that kind of cheapass, kek.

>>122477792

This anon thinks I want to acquire licenses for 99 cents and feel entitled to steal physical machines and that's not quite it.

I want to pay a fair ammount for legitimacy. So given that home versions are what Soft sellers consider a fair ammount in return for a license to use their games...

but he was in MSG

>>122482194
The only one I really played was "The Raiden Project", which is really just Raiden II, on Playstation.

They're super straight forward. They don't have all kinds of complciated scoring mechanics or anything. Fairly bullet-hellish. I think they're basically training wheels for danmaku.

>>122482408
When was Raiden in Mobile Suit Gundam?

>>122482637
I have a much harder time with early raidens than bullet hells. The slow speed and the moderately fast bullets get me,also if you play with arcade settings using the checkpoints. The soundtracks for 2,3, and 4 are great.

>>122483334
>also if you play with arcade settings using the checkpoints
Is there any way to remove that in mame? I enjoy what I can of the game, but checkpoints just destroy my motivation.

>>122483653
No, since the arcade has that shit built in.

If you want no checkpoints, you'll have to use ePSXE/PCSX2 and emulate the ports of the Raiden games.

>>122482194

They don't hold a candle to Raiden DX imo

>>122483785
Crap.
Oh well, one kind of emulation for another.

Could work, I just saw a thread of how cool was dark souls because it's not casual and it's so niche your balls chant jingle bells.

>>122505365
But it's relatively easy and tame. And even then that plan would fail massively.

Final boss (the giant, dribbling basketball, not the TLBs) is a bit easier on higher ranks, since the bullets will be moving faster and thus not cluttering the screen.

>>122508258
If I'm on a boss, I'll credit feed so I can practice the bosses patterns, and practice the next stage. Otherwise I'll restart.

That said it's best not to just keep on playing, as you'll just burn yourself out. Stop after a few runs and then try again later.

Is it possible to do two player shmups with Hamachi or Kawaks or some kind of linkable emulator? Not dumb shit like Twin Sparkle Sprites, but like two player Raiden or some real niga shit.

>>122508258
Unless you can reach 5th stage constantly, better start playing with 2 or 3 credits. Later stages is the best practice and you won't see progress any soon if you keep resetting the game before reaching them.

Just got Mushihimesama, as far as I'm aware this is my first cave stg.

I'm confused about regular shot and full auto and when to use them. halp.

>>122517415
Full auto is basically the same as pushing the regular fire button over and over and over again.

If you're playing Normal mode (rather than Arrange or 1.5) then full auto is nothing more than just a convenient button you can just hold down instead of having to mash regular shot.

However, if you hold down regular shot, your fire focuses and you move slower while holding the button down, which can help in dodging dense bullet patterns.

>>122517415
Shoot shit. Is it big? Shoot that shit with focused shit. Are there a bunch of little fucks everywhere? Mash that spray shit.

>>122518467
Focused shot seems to make enemy bullets slightly slower, or is it just in my head?

>>122518821
If there's more stuff on screen (including your bullets), the game will intentionally limit the frame rate.

>>122517415
Mashing regular shot or holding full auto do the same thing. Holding regular shot slows your movement down and focuses in your options. If you hold down full auto and mash regular shot, your shot becomes noticeably more powerful, which can be incredibly helpful during tough section. It seems like holding regular shot and tapping full auto also does something, but that one I'm not certain about.

Holy fuck, FUCK Air Gallet.

I completely underestimated this game and now it is fucking my ass savagely.

Nope, not yet. It's coming along, though. I've finished explanations and picture references for most of the menus, but I still have yet to write up explanations for the gameplay and mechanics, or explaining the different types of weekly events.

If you've got questions about anything in particular with the game, go ahead and call me out here to ask. I'm usually watching this thread silently.

>>122535390
I'm still confused about events and ranking in general

>>122535506
Well basically, clearing stages will earn you "Active Points" which determine your rank on the weekly leaderboard (#10 in pic related). If you press the prizes button (#9 in pic related) you can see the prizes for that leaderboard. At the end of the event (the beginning and end dates for the event are also on the prizes screen), you'll get whatever prize is listed for your leaderboard rank range.

For example, in pic related, my rank is 10,460, so I'd get the prizes listed for 10001st through 20000th place.

>>122535350
I dunno what to recommend but I will say to stay far away from any of G-Gee's ports of Cave games on Android devices, and likely anything with G-Gee's name on it in general, because they don't keep them updated. I own Deathsmiles on Android and it hasn't worked in almost two years because they haven't maintained it after the Android system updates.

You'll need an Android device, not sure if it's available on iPhone. Go to the Google Play store and download an app called "QooApp" that will allow you to get Japan-only games.

Then, open QooApp and search for "ゴシックは魔法乙女". The game should appear in the search results, you'll need to download and install that. That's how you get the game. Specific details for playing the game and navigating the menus will be included in my guide for the game, which should be finished around next week.

>>122494891
It's gone back up to 9,148 ± 2,410.

It's been several months since I started, so I don't exactly remember what the game is like when you first launch it. I know you'll have to pick a username for yourself and a starter girl, and I *think* it might also ask if you want the game to use high-res pictures or not.

It might be difficult to navigate since it's almost entirely in Japanese. I lurk this thread though and I'll try to answer any questions asked about the game.

It's called Gothic wa Mahou Otome, if you didn't know.

I've downloaded just about every single shmup on mobile and 99% of them are pure trash.

The only ones I haven't minded so far are Stikers 1945 III (specifically III, 1 and 2 aren't nearly as good on their hit detection)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ht_JFVR9v4

And

Mahou Otome, as >>122536402 is mentioning.

The problem that most of these mobile shmups suffer from is chunking. Like in Elemental Wings, Dragon Heroes or Soul Rage, it looks like it's going to be awesome, but when you actually play it, the 'stages' are like 15 seconds long with 3-4 waves of popcorn enemies and a boss. It's obnoxious as fuck to wade through 10 menus, clicking OK, clicking a Friend, skipping the pointless as fuck 'dialog' event they shoved in, and then getting a measly dab of gameplay that lasts under 30 seconds.

Orange Juice started out as STG developers.

100% OJ is a different genre from the previous games. Kind of like Nintendo characters in Mario Party or Fortune Street.

Sora is entirely different.
http://suguri.wikia.com/wiki/Sora

So guise, how can we make shmups attractive to anons other than suggesting they are the new Dark Souls or filling them with despicable memes?

Thousands of fanart have given birth to the touhou monster, just saiyan, but if I were the one to draw I would drive them away.

>>122567181
You don't make shmups popular, you make popular shmups. Nuclear Throne seems pretty well-liked so think about why and start from there.

Anon, I'm not the guy who defined shmups, run and guns aren't either shmups per se, but they are run and guns, and there's shooting allright.

>>122567906

You're not going to make anyone into a bullet cloud loving, high-score wanting, practice with savestates before doing runsing, turn your tv on its side STG autist that wouldn't be inclined to be anyway so kill yourself while other shmups flourish.

>>122567982
>guess we can't talk about Guwange any more. No more Guwange guys it's a run and gun.

Actually Guwange even tough you run, doesn't qualify as run adn gun

We feared the moment would come and here they are, the shitposters, let's exercise the wisdom I haven't had for two posts and ignore them from now on.

>>122567181
We shill on /v/ with cute girls. Cave games have that, right?

>>122571064

>>122569619
I'm not telling anyone they include anything, I'm telling the poster above that his perceived narrow interest is caused by his narrow definition. If you only care about true 1000x folded nipponese hardcore score attacks that's fine, but don't act like shmups are struggling when I can name X Y and Z recent shmups that have gained a following.

>>122569710
>Guwange doesn't qualify as a run and gun
Oh great sensei of STG cult please teach me why Guwange isn't a run and Gun but Nuclear Throne is.

What is your favourite scoring mechanic and why? Just a mechanic.

I personally like what you can do in the mushis, go point blank and collect the rain.

>>122519257
>If you hold down full auto and mash regular shot, your shot becomes noticeably more powerful

Weird, is this a bug?
Also is there any drawback or should I always be tapping shot when i go full auto?

>>122582694
The drawback is you can't focus while doing it and it makes barely any difference at long range.

>>122581905
Anything that isn't proximity scoring or chaining.

>>122581905
I dont really do score, but my favorite would have to be from Imperishable Night. The way you can unlock extra spellcards made me want to achieve a higher score, which I never do in other shmups.

>>122581905
I liked the way it's done in Mushihimesama Futari original, the one where you auto when the counter is green and hold shot when it's blue.

>>122587512
...Forgot the why. I like it because it's simple, so I don't feel I have to watch high level replays, but it's really fun to try to make levels consistent across my different runs.

>>122618671
The only Marisa shot type I ever liked was her piercing lasers in EoSD, Marisa B I think it was? She's just kind of eh for me in the other games.

>>122618875
I have only downloaded the base editor and fired it up once, was pretty fun just messing around with the already pre-made enemies. I have also seen ridiculous bosses made for it.

>>122619692
I liked MarisaA in EoSD. A few years ago, I got pretty into scoring the Extra stage and I used MarisaA because I suck shit at dodging Royal Flare and so I just safespotted it.

I also used to like Marisa/Alice in Imperishable Night, but nowadays I prefer Reimu/Yukari's shot type.

>>122620073
Good god I hated IN Marisa/Alice. Marisa was okay, but Alice had to be one of the worst shot types I ever played in a shmup. Only good thing about her was the MAlice Cannon.

Playing as Team Border gave you Ran, so of course that is automatically the best team in the game.

I didn't initially like Mushihimesama's artstyle but it has kinda grown on me.

According to my knowledge there's no 'doods'. It's one nignog who MAYBE outsources some music. Anyways.

>The world of Mushihimesama is a wild, untainted one where large desertic areas abruptly change into lush forests, all inhabited by arthropods called Koujuu: such beasts (basically oversized insects) are capable of surviving due to their hardened shells and, upon their deaths, leave them behind for vegetation to grow around them, in a natural cycle of life and death. However, their life force, called Levi-Sense, proved to be poisonous to the humans to the point of being named the Miasma; only sparse human settlements were allowed to survive, one of them being the Hoshifuri village, in exchange for the sacrifice of a 15-year-old girl every 200 years. However, the daughter of the royal family, Reco, is apparently the next in line after being given an ornate bracelet by a mysterious boy in Shinju Forest, where she lost herself at young age: by the day she turns 15, the Miasma contaminates the village. In order to save her people, she enters Shinju Forest once more, riding the golden Koujuu beetle Kiniro (with which the golden bracelet grants a telepathic link) on a quest to meet the Koujuu god himself.

Abnormal Palm = harder stages, easier bosses

Abnormal Reco is really cool, but it's hard to use.

>>122658450
Hold shot as Palm Abnormal, it wrecks bosses.
Otherwise, Reco Normal is good for stages.

I don't have much luck with Palm Normal, but it's not bad. Reco Abnormal is really weird though, and I can't even make it through stage 2 with more than my final life.

I like 1.5 the best, though either normal or 1.5 are good starting points. Arrange is basically a remix of Maniac mode from normal, with the TLB of ultra thrown in as well.

>>122678914
Which is easier?

>>122679103
I've 1cc'd 1.5 but can only get to the last boss in normal so far. However, I'm also really bad and I haven't gotten a second 1cc in 1.5 yet.

I'm seriously irked that nobody tried ripping Senko no Ronde Duo from the Taito X machines.

>>122678753

>>122679103
1.5 has slower bullets but a fuckload more enemies added


Especially stage 3

Fast bullets seem to be 95% of my deaths.
Are bullets slower in Arrange too?

You 1cc that game yet son?

To be fair there are bigger companies with more impact out there. Shanghai Alice is still in the game and puts out new work consistently, albeit /jp/-tier shit.

Those formed in the wake of Toaplan had varying degrees of success, and G.rev/Takumi are the smaller fish who still hang on to their few notable works (Mars Matrix/Giga Wing and Under Defeat/Border Down).

Future for all of these non-doujin companies is bleak.

I feel like I'd rather work on scoring than just a scrub clear and let the 1cc come naturally

>>122696173
Getting closer and closer, just need to practice the final stage some more. Then I don't know if I want to move up a difficulty, do scoring on the difficulty I'm currently on, or go back to get that damned 1cc of Crimzon Clover now that I've picked up some more skill in other shmups.

>I also need to 1cc Hitogata Happa on Allemande
I commend you for sticking with that one, I was turned off rather quickly by the first stage.

I'm still working on that Gothic wa Mahou Otome guide and stuff so I haven't really played Mushihimesama so I don't really have much relevant to say but I don't want the thread to die so I'm making a very long run-on sentence to make it look less like a shameless bump but that's kind of what it is and I guess that's okay.

It hadn't occurred to me just how many menus there are to explain in this game.

Maniac mode in Mushi

Not normally one for indie "retraux" bullshit, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1ZmsVsyj5Q looks kinda neat.

Anyone played blue wish res+?
What am I in for?

>>122716425
A pretty great game. Plays like a mixture of Mushihimesama, ESPRa.De and Ketsui.

>>122717910
lel, I had a feeling that would happen. Oh well.

Try out some other of these too: http://www.sk8tokyo.com/shmup/free.htm

>>122717910
Seems neat so far. I've turned autoguard off but what the hell does wait on/off do?

Touhous are overpowered as fuck, better not bring them to power level discussions. Doesnt help that many have somewhat vague abilities that could be interpreted as OP bullshit, like "manipulation of fate".

But Mobius 1 is awesome as fuck and has Agnus Dei as his theme song, so it evens out.

I think I'll start doing more of these cards.

>>122718446
it's a slowdown option

>>122742930
Do you finished the basic survival guide?
Card explanation can wait

Been itching to play another stg, but I feel like it would mess up my Mushi practice.

Did they ever fix the Eschatos performance issues?

>>122642649
This looks awesome, can't wait.

>>122753341
They released a patch for Eschatos last week that fixed it for some.

Gate of Thunder is fantastic.

I have to give it to stgs, they have revitalized my interest in videogames, everything was gray before.

It's Danmakus, though, I've been playan R-Type Leo from the Irem Arcade Collection and it isn't the same. I can appreciate how the game is good but it doesn't do it for me in my current state. The music is lovely however.

>>122758041
Same here. I havent enjoyed nor invested myself with video games like this in a long time.

Speaking of, which R-Type games are worth playing? There's like 10 of them.

>>122760005

I only know Leo, I and II. The first two are exceptionally difficult, as in dice once, lose your credit.

Leo is more recoverable.

>>122760005

Leo is fun, it doesn't do it for me because I also happen to be depressed because of some meds I'm taking. So only the exhilarating danmaku games do it.

Have look, look at them tunes too.
