Re: RELEASE: SHMUPSpace Battle of Deneb Demo
Music is generic as all hell, though. Hope they update the soundtrack prior to release.
I'm most sure you will be pleased to hear that the release will feature the option to have an orchestral-dubstep fusion soundtrack with lyrics provided by vocaloids, entirely played in reverse. Surely that will be unique enough for your taste.

Then again, I find little to nothing wrong with generic BGM tracks most of the time, as long as they're not bad.

Oh right. I also heard there will be a third soundtrack option to add yet another unique flavor to the game...

Salsa music.

The sarcasm, it bites. :rolleyes:

The music certainly isn't bad... it's just not good either. Kind of thing you forget about as soon as the level's over.

But if the gameplay is good, I'll probably not worry about it overly much. Gameplay first, bells and whistles (or orchestral vocaloids as the case apparently may be) second.

Re: RELEASE: SHMUPSpace Battle of Deneb Demo
Well, there's this really cool shmup right now in development that I happen to so really like. [/shameless plug]
I love how ambitious the game is with the graphics and it seems pretty promising but I don't like how some of the weapons seem more like something an humanoid would use rather than something to outfit a ship... A revolver on a ship...? humph
It's really great to see there are still some cool shooters in development. Anyway, it hasn't come out yet so I guess so far SHMUPSpace still keeps the throne in the graphics department :)

That one is pretty cool also :)

LOVE IT! Long range weapons mixed with close range plasma blades? AWESOME!

The only reason this isn't on fsmods yet is I want to make sure there aren't any changes coming up soon.

Are there?

Re: RELEASE: SHMUPSpace Battle of Deneb Demo
So, due to a certain thread being posted somewhere, I got guilt tripped enough to actually do some more work on this mod today. Here's a cumulative update video of what's changed. ShadowWolf was really cool to make a skybox for this mod too!

RELEASE: SHMUPSpace Battle of Deneb Demo 1.2
 :bump:

Update! Version 1.2 Changes:

  • Gameplay
    • You are now a one hit point wonder. One hit you're dead. Kaboom. Disappear. Wooooosh. Goodbye. EXCEPTIONS:
      • Splash Damage from missiles
      • Beams
    • As a result of the above, you are also more powerful. Powering up makes more a noticeable difference. Except at unpowered, where the player gets a small damage nerf.
    • Significantly reduced the health of "popcorn" enemies. Lokis and Watchdogs should not be able to be one shotted even at unpowered levels. Alasters two, Hercs three.
    • Buffed damage of the Rockeye to 100 damage and Tempest to 150 damage
    • Lower difficulty levels reduce the firerate of enemies much more greatly (4.0,2.5,2.0,1.5,1.0)
    • Base fire rate of lighter enemy weapons increased slightly
    • Reduced difficulty of Big Core Rev 1.2 fight by increasing base fire rate for both the ion rings and the spread shots
  • Other Changes
    • All 16:9 based screen resolutions are now supported.
    • To let its spirit live on, I'm using the This badass soundtrack instead of what was used for 1.0 and 1.1. Farewell LIVER USUALIS, you had your time. :p
    • You no longer need mr ShmupKing. Controlconfigdefaults.tbl has been implemented will autoassign the proper keys when you create a pilot.

To do for 1.3:
  • Remove Big Core Rev 1.2. It's cool and all, but I need to make room for a very very special corvette that has some surrendering to do *hinthintwinkwink*.
  • Rework Stage 1 entirely. It really doesn't work out all that well since ALPHA ONE is a one hitpoint wonder, this could become way too hard for a first level. While I did do some rebalancing, I feel that I just want to redo the level anyway to add some more new features regarding levels
  • Add a scoring system
  • Finalize what I want for the levels

Go get it boy 1.2 baby123!

Re: RELEASE: SHMUPSpace Battle of Deneb Demo 1.2
I mentioned this on IRC, but I'll expand on what I meant here.

I find this version of SHMUP entirely unplayable due to one simple change. One hit death. No, thank you. I enjoy SHMUP, but I'm not insanely good at them. In fact, I'm mediocre at best. But yes, I do enjoy playing them. I really loved the idea of an FS themed SHMUP and the first version was quite a bit of fun! I played it several times. But this version? I get 3/4 into the level and... for a moment... don't play exactly perfectly... boom. Game over. Dead. The end. Start over. No thank you.

One hit death is a good insane mode setting, but for those of us who like SHMUP but suck at it, it just asks us to go play something else.

Re: RELEASE: SHMUPSpace Battle of Deneb Demo 1.2
Why did I not play this before?! This is awesome! There was a bit of confusion about controls at the beginning because I didn't RTFT but once I got into it, it's insanely fun! Takes me back to the days of sneaking an old shmup into school on a flash drive...

I do agree wholeheartedly with mjn.mixael- the one-hit kills get a bit annoying when you're near the end of the mission. Glad to see that's being changed up a bit.

I really like the way you use capships both as scenery and enemies. Just curious: is it possible to kill the Aeolus and/or Deimoses entirely? I was trying but either died or had to deal with other enemies on the screen.
