Kannagi Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Hello everyone, I would like to introduce my SNES game currently in development. It's a bullet hell on SNES inspired by Dodonpachi. I've made quite a bit of progress, and I still have a few things left before I have a complete game loop, after which I can concentrate on game design and pixel art. The game will have 7 levels + extra stage and a time attack. You have as weapons, shooting, laser and bombs. I would like to create an easy bullet hell, a lot of this type of game is complicated and elitist, and I would like as many people as possible to be able to play it especially since I find shmup is an interesting genre to play, so you will always start with armor which can take a certain number of bullets. And as I like to respect the constraints of the time, the game will therefore fit on 512 KiB. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Biff Burgertime Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Hello and welcome! I've never been a shmup guy (well, unless Galaga counts...). Sometimes one will lure me in with its nice graphics & music, but then kicks my ass and I quickly become impatient. So the idea of one with a gentler difficulty sounds appealing. All those floating pink bullets remind me how a friend would call them "salt water taffy" in Sunset Riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayler Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Interesting concept. I usually suck at shmups so can't complain about an easier approach. I like the ship design, feels like a mix of Fire Stingray from F-Zero and Axelay, which is unsurprisingly always a plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Greetings, Kannagi-chan, as a Super NES/SFC enthusiast, I have to commend you for managing to produce what looks like a decent product at the moment. Granted, this is still a work in progress, but this will shape up to be a high-quality title. The Super NES could use more Shmups. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 You might get more traction over at System11 Shmups forum. I'm not the biggest fan of bullet hells, but I do welcome new shooters on the Super Nintendo. Looks pretty cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kannagi Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Thank you for your feedback, yes if I present it, there is a good chance that I will finish it I've been programming on the SNES for 10 years, and I think I've finally found the right method to be able to make somewhat ambitious games on it My ultimate goal would be to make an A-RPG, But I think I'll make a few games first before diving into that. I think the next one will be a Final Fight style Beat Them Up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Wow, you have been busy getting your skills ready for actual game making. If you need another graphics artist or someone to make audio cues, I can help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kannagi Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 For this game, I think I could finalize it alone, and I already have a musician, but for the next few yes a pixel artist would not be refused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
