>>150548516
You call shmups puzzle games because you have to figure out routes. By that logic anything that requires some thought is a puzzle/shmup.

>>150548983
I never called them puzzle games, asshole. All I said is just that they are very similar to puzzle games.

Vast majority of games also hardly require thought, fuckface

Normally I'd be with the people egging Kraut-kun on, but he's not entirely wrong here. Also, bringing drama from the last thread is top-tier pathetic.

Congrats on those CC gainz, KBR. Looking forward to seeing what else you can do. I'm not particularly interested in Ikaruga (I'm too retarded to wrap my head around bullet absorption gimmicks), but is there an R-Type you'd recommend for someone who doesn't usually play horizontal memorizers?

>tfw mushi looks impossible for you
tomorrow i will play mushi all day

I've fucked around once with making a SHMUP in Game Maker, and I'm not sure about my scoring system. Basically you dash into shit in order to increase your chain counter by 1 up to 16, and your multiplier only applies if you destroy shit with your spread/laser. However, if your chain reaches maximum level you can activate a bomb. There is a rapidly increasing rank counter once your chain is maxed out, so you'll have to bomb eventually. You also get bonus points when you use your bomb, which increases with your rank level and the amount of enemies that were affected by the blast, though the bonus point gain is incredibly atm. Whenever you use a bomb, your chain also resets to one.

I think the whole rankbombing thing might be somewhat unnecessary, as it is something I added at the last minute and probably doesn't mesh well with the multiplier affecting shot/laser kills, though otherwise keeping up your chain might be too easy given how the game works atm. Alternatively, I could increase the speed at which your chain decays, or switch to your chain instantly resetting to 1 instead of decreasing by 1 if you don't dashkill anything for a while. Any suggestions?

>>150573513

>>150573513
Yes.

>>150557249
It certainly looks unique, but I think the dashing mechanic is really strange. Why would the pilot dash into everything the whole time? What is the logic behind this power? I could imagine this also easily can lead to cheap deaths, where you dash and then immediately die afterwards, without being able to anything against it.

To me it kinda reminds me of Zangeki Warp with the dashing system, but in Zangeki Warp the dashing, or warping actually makes sense, because you get forced to warp. In your game it doesn't look like you are forced to warp (or dash). The only reason the player does it is to increase the multiplier. And why would you use a bomb which destroys your chain, when you also easily could just dash away?

TL;DR: The game is too easy. There is not enough reason to dash (perhaps implement more bullets and also environmental hazards), and the dashing also refills way too fast.

What I would do is make the dash mechanic into a charge mechanic, so that you first have to charge before being able to dash. And get rid of the bomb, since the dashing is already OP enough.

Dude, moving background left-right following your ship is pretty inconvenient. Why dont you make it static?

>>150579501

*wipes you down*

>>150579890
All the fast ship shmups I can think of are static

>>150579890
But not for modern shmups I guess? It's confusing if the background is space, the enemy bullets looks like following your movement too.

For the ground, I remember Raiden has similar behavior, you're likely get snipped by tanks by the time you moved to unexposed area, which is bad design I think.

>>150579890
>>150580492
I can only think of Raiden IV doing this in recent memory.

>>150579501
I think the problem is that the screen tracks the player ship perfectly while being centered on them while in other games the background moves only when the player is closer to the edge of the camera. This is easily fixable in Game Maker by adjusting the view settings

>>150574196
You do get some short i-frames during and after the dash, so you do get some leniency in terms of not dashing into bullets. You can dash fairly quickly in and out of dodge, hence why an energy bar is necessary if you don't want to cheese everything. This wouldn't work as well with slow dense bullet patterns as you'd have no room to dash, so I opted for faster and bigger bullets instead. It ended up working as a crowd control/speedkilling mechanic like Sonic's Homing Attack, as more enemies on the screen can make things near-impossible with the amount of continuous bullets they fire atm. Your spread and laser are fairly weak, as dashkilling is a guaranteed kill.

I was still working on enemies which would fire slowly-turning telegraphed straight lasers which can't be dodged by any conventional means other than dashing, though I couldn't properly implement that yet. The bomb thing is indeed too OP and I wasn't really happy with it. The moving screen edges is something I have no idea why I added it in the first place either. I suppose I can change the way how the energy bar refills (recharges for each enemy killed with spread/laser) Dariusburst-style, though I'll need to change the way the scoring works (increase chain by quickly killing enemies with the regular shot as dashkills get the multiplier bonus? so you can either save up dashing energy for defensive purposes or use it immediately for scoring)

Daily reminder that Kraut is this dumb

>First danmaku game was Batsugun by Toaplan. While the company had some members from Cave it was still a totally different company.

Also, it's not like they reinvented the wheel or something, by simply putting more bullets on screen and making the hitbox smaller.

I find Cave generic, because all their games are simply quite generic. There is nothing special or outstanding about them, apart from the insane difficulty perhaps.

I see, I know it's all just still placeholders, but then you also must have a fitting ship design though. Just having a regular ship for this would look weird. It should turn into some kind of very robust ball or something when dashing, kinda like Sonic.

>(increase chain by quickly killing enemies with the regular shot as dashkills get the multiplier bonus?

after seeing all the heavy derping over touhou i decided to dl the double dealing character demo. id never playing anything from team shanghai alice before. why do people go nuts over this shit? is it just a bunch of weebs masturbating over the girls? the music was ok but the other production values were amateur at best. i've seen better looking flash games on newgrounds. i know it's made by a small number of people...but crimzon clover was too.

>>150705216

>>150705216
CC also took 5 years of developement. One of the reasons why 2hu is so popular is because there are so many games of it.

>>150705216
Double Dealing Character is a relatively weak entry in the Touhou series, I think. Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishable Night, and Subterranean Animism are generally considered the best I believe.

>is it just a bunch of weebs masturbating over the girls?
That's why a lot of people go nuts over it. "Touhou secondaries" refers to the people who indulge in the fandom but don't actually play the games. It generally seems like the people who play a lot of shmups tend to rank Touhou shmups on the lower end of the spectrum though. I like playing Touhou personally, I just haven't done it much in a long time.

>i know it's made by a small number of people
A single man actually, I think.

It's been a long time since I played Triggerheart Exelica but I think it was similar to flinging off of the wheels in Scrap Brain Zone from Sonic 1, where it maintains momentum from the direction it was swinging at the point of release.

Assuming it's spinning counter-clockwise, releasing it at 3 o'clock (which would be the midway point of the upward swing) would fling it straight ahead. Release at 2 o'clock (the later stage of the upward swing) to fling it diagonally left. Release at 4 o'clock (before the midway point of the upward swing) to fling it diagonally right.

Of course this is all in theory and from a spotty memory at that. I could be wrong.

>>150763312
I only played it on the 360. I was surprised to find out that it's now backwards compatible with Xbox One and saddened that the Deathsmiles games still aren't. I recently got Twitch for Xbone, so I suppose it's possible I could stream Triggerheart Exelica sometime...

Trust me bro, the game will be better if you leave out these opaque chaining/rankbombing systems.

If you want to make it more complex add more weapons or something.

Don't try to force people to play in a way you think is stylish by implementing some autistic wacky numbers system. If you want to make something like that, that's what scoring is for. Leave it out of the actual game mechanics though.

Forgot to reply to this. Just try whatever and see what strikes your fancy. You should list some other shmups that you like, might make it easier to come up with recommendations.

To start with, I guess uh... go ahead and try some Donpachi, Dodonpachi, Gradius, and R-Type. See if you like any of those. I'm not very experienced with the games in the mega link myself, so I can't really make recommendations too well.
