I get the sneaking feeling I've suggested this before to no avail, but I digress........

How many people would be interested in participating in a community project - something along the lines of a traditional shmup, one ridiculously overpowered player craft versus hundreds of weak enemies?  I was thinking cell-shaded (assuming it's still supported) for reasons that it looks more '16-bit' and should be easier than 'full' textures (anticipating any interest being as a '2nd project'), a few player-selectable ships with special weapons, and lots of simple, swarmy enemies.  A sort of tecchy demo thing, if you will, with a few levels ala the 'gauntlet' ones in FS1/2.  Maybe multiplayer co-op if we get ambitious.

Axem and I once conspired to make a Raiden clone using the Freespace 2 engine...(model WIP by me)

[Rand al Thor]

Where's a model for that fighter from the last starfighter. And the Ar-wings are already cutting through swathes of enemies, albeit behind closed doors.

[takashi]

indeed, he described starfox in the first posT but i think SoL will make things balanced for the idea of a challenge. since weak enemies+freespace= one very fried McBosch burger

Starfox never had cluster missiles (for example), or more than 2 lasers on a ship (er, I think.... need to drag out Starfox Command on DS and check that), though........

I once had some plans to make a DEM-style parody of the main campaign with the gameplay set up like that, among other things. Basically like Excessive Unreal, if anyone here has seen that. I doubt I'll ever get around to it though.

Didn't the V-Wing from Star Wars have cluster missiles, as well as an ability to fire its lasers at an astounding rate for a short time (b4 they overheated )?
I believe this was in one of the N64 games for Star Wars, I forget the name.  My friend had it and used to play it.

[JGZinv]

That was Rogue Squadron for the N64.
Yes it was the V-Wing... If you learned to time the shots
right you could have a nearly constant flow of lasers.

Gradius and Silpheed were two other blast-em shooters...

[takashi]

starfox had nova bombs. those things have a HUGE blast radius and no countermeasure evaision.

anywho, i can make a schump using special hitpoints.

special hitpoints: 0.0005

Yeah, would be nice...

[RazorsKiss]

oooooh.

[takashi]

whats the shield icon doing up there?

[Turey]

Yeah, would be nice...

ooooooooohhhhhhh~

Does that include the Blossom? It doesn't look like it does.

I've got an idea! A mini-Sathanas! 8)

[jr2]

no, Sathanas looks too threatening.

one ridiculously overpowered player craft versus hundreds of weak enemies?

Modified Pyro-GX?

If only I could find that old drawing of mine... another stupidly over-gunned sucker though...

[jr2]

One of those Pyros from the Pyro Inferno mod... or perhaps from the Pyromania mod.

[Snail]

I wondered about that too...

I like that idea.
