Shinku ABOOKEN posted:So they took an already funded game, replaced the assets made by that guy, and resold it? It's not out yet but pretty much, yeah. The guy who got cut out was arguably the biggest reason their campaign was funded, too - he worked at Konami back in the day and contributed to the soundtracks to several reasonably well-known games, so he brought a lot of attention to their campaign. On the other hand, that guy's also alleged to be the reason the game never came out in English, never got a digital release, never got patched, etc.

Furukawa didn't even make most of the music in the game, HEY did. It's ridiculous because most of the people throwing a fit are the backers who already got a copy years ago, like they want the game to be some semi-exclusive collectors item forever.

Hellsinker should come out not long after the Steam sale. Word is that it will also come with a tutorial.

The Hellsinker developer put it up on a Japanese store page a little while back and he's been cranking out UI changes and in-game explanatory stuff, the game might almost be playable by the average person now.

AN AWESOME PRAYER IS CONFLICT WITH US KEEP YOUR DIGNITY Holy poo poo, Hellsinker's on Steam now? That's fantastic, that game is crazy. It has some of the absolute best music I've heard in a shmup, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOv0_wLBZgI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iy-F0f_gDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44ffwSL8VAg I watched someone play it when I was an exchange student in Japan, and was delighted to hear that even when Japanese is your first language, the game is still borderline incomprehensible.  PaletteSwappedNinja posted:The Hellsinker developer put it up on a Japanese store page a little while back and he's been cranking out UI changes and in-game explanatory stuff, the game might almost be playable by the average person now. On that note, Kagura's Infernal Sabbath is babby's first hellsinker experience, though it's also not quite the 'true' experience that way. Fossil Maiden might be the next easiest one? Minogame's kind of hard because she has weird combo attacks, Deadliar is pretty midrange due to being sort of precision focused, and actually using Kagura properly is probably hardest. lets hang out posted:i have no idea what the gently caress i'm doing in hellsinker Okay, here's what I remember: Destroying enemies gives you tokens. Sol increase your main weapon's power, Luna increases your subweapon (except for Minogame), Gems increase your Token score, and Relics boost both Luna and Stella meters; Luna meaning more subweapon damage, Stella meaning the difficulty goes up and you can get higher scores. Optimal scoring is best reached by destroying enemies as soon as they appear, which means more enemies spawn, which in turn gives you more chances to increase the Stella meter and thus increase the difficulty and scoring. Score is divided into three types: Kills (take a guess), Tokens (again), and Spirit, which goes up in some arcane mysterious way involving grazing enemy bullets. You can't pick your starting lives, but after picking your character, etc, the "Way of Life" selection lets you pick the number of extra lives you can store. Picking the lowest one, which isn't even that many less lives, gives you a boost to all your score types. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Jul 20, 2019 |

Vasara Collection's out next week for PC, Switch, PS4, XB1 and Vita - It's ports of the two Vasara games plus a bad-looking 3D, 16:9 multiplayer bonus thing that's not even in the Vita version. They're doing a 50% pre-purchase discount on Switch so if you buy it now it's only like $5. There was also a limited-edition retail package but it's sold out, if you really want a disc version for PS4 it'll be getting a Japanese release in a few months. Jamestown+ is coming to Switch and Steam in the fall, and they said they'll be patching the existing PS4 version with whatever changes/additions are made: https://store.steampowered.com/app/377950/Jamestown/ M2's ESP RaDe port has a release date, it comes out December 19 for PS4 and Switch and there'll be a digital version, a retail version and a limited-edition package with a bunch of extra crap https://m2stg.com/esprade/ They'll be holding an event in early September where they'll talk and show off more features, as well as talk about their new Aleste game and the new Cotton game that's coming out. Several additional games were announced for PC Engine/Turbografx Mini, including Spriggan and Spriggan mark2, Dragon Spirit and Galaga 88.

I really can't overstate how thrilled I am about the ESPRaDe release. It's always been the most overlooked first-gen Cave game to my mind (maybe tied with Donpachi?). Amazing-looking sprite art with one of the best final bosses out there, what's not to love. "Arcade Plus" mode implies to me that they'll be fixing that game's infamous scoring problems, which sounds really good. Edit: Hey, well wouldya look at that https://twitter.com/gosokkyu/status/1160887186125774850 And hey, while we wait we can all play the minigame where you guess what all the fancy M2 gadgets do based on tiny screenshots. danbo fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Aug 12, 2019 |

Danbo, this isn't shmup related, but is this related to this - https://twitter.com/__danbo/status/1128855122832961537 quote:there are 4 words that have been keeping me up, dreaming of possibilities and worlds unknown, in the wee hours of the night for a few weeks now and could it possibly be unrelated to this? - https://twitter.com/__danbo/status/1082278539855097863 quote:roguelites are the answer to a question nobody asked (and mostly exist because level design is insanely hard work) asking for a friend who isn't stalking you.

You should probably PM me questions like that, I dunno. That screenshot isn't a boss rush game, I'm not confident enough in 3D yet to realise most of the stuff I have in mind there. It's not a roguelite either.

I’m pretty sure that the games in the CE version (the home ports) are separate from the main collection - so that’s 6500 yen for five ports, without the arcade games. I’ve read that page a couple of times and the Famitsu article and haven’t seen any suggestions that you get both sets in one go.

How is Hellsinker's training mode, assuming it has one? Can you do both individual stages and boss starts? I'm back in one of my intermittent shmup playing phases and I've found I have a lot more fun starting a game by save stating at the start of each stage in MAME and redoing it til I can no miss no bomb, same for bosses. I'm improving a lot faster too. I figure my only hope for doing this in pc games though is if they have a full featured training mode.

They think I'm here for the chubby girls on flying bike things but I'm actually here for the fun and intricate gameplay. (MMP isn't on Steam but it plays decent in MAME! The 360 release is a particularly good way to play too, it's actually got some gameplay differences which make it a bit easier)
