Today's Potatostrike progress report:

1. Made a few slight modifications to the Mission 2 bosses to adjust their balancing and make their attacks more varied in their second form.
2. Mission 2 is nearly done! All it's missing now is the background music.

This week we're putting the bullet into bullet hell with the hit SHMUP roguelike shooter Star of Providence!

Originally titled "Monolith", this NES-inspired modern retro shooter has it all: ghosts, mages, cybernetic constructs, giant spinning razor weapons, and of course: a talking cat.

Today's Potatostrike progress report:

1. Mission 2 has been fully built. Next comes balancing the mission to an enjoyably challenging level.
2. Once balancing is done, work will continue on the music for the mission. Hopefully I can share it soon.

Blast Wind is a shmup STG by Technosoft for the Sega Saturn released in 1997. Meant for arcades in 1993, it failed its location test and missed its advertised release date, was retooled as Inazuma Saber, which also failed its location test, and finally landed on Saturn.

R-Type (1987)
By Irem
[Source: https://youtu.be/9qXHicrtLJU]

#RetroGaming #RetroGames #Arcade #Irem #Shmup

Gif from "R-Type" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, side-scrolling perspective). A small spaceship (controlled by the player) confronts the first boss of the game- a giant alien life-form that looks like a Xenomorph (from the "Alien" franchise) fused with various electronics and circuitry, in some sort of diabolical symbiosis of organic matter and technology.
Gif from "R-Type" (title screen, 2D pixel graphics). The text "R-Type" expands across the screen in giant, beveled, stainless-steel-like letters. At the top of the screen appears the (iconic!) text: "Blast off and strike the evil Bydo empire!".
Gif from "R-Type" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, side-scrolling perspective). A small spaceship (controlled by the player) flies through a giant corridor of organic matter (appearing like red tubes) and shoots at giant, multi-segmented centipede-like enemies. The strikes one of these enemies in the head with a particularly well-aimed blast, causing it to explode into individual segments.

Heyo everyone!

I recorded a short video showcasing the newest song for Potatostrike.

This one will play during Mission 1. Each mission will have its own song.

It will be added in patch 0.0.8. Any feedback is welcome!

A short video showcasing the new music for Potatostrike. It's a moderately fast song with high intensity moments, spaced out by calmer sections. Perfect for a frontal assault with a Potato-based space fighter!

LMG3864, 2 months ago to gamedev

Today's Potatostrike progress report:

1. Mission 2's song is being worked on. I found a nice rhythm that I need to develop further.
2. Improved the Score Screen with a bit more detail. It also appears when the Potatostrike is destroyed. How does it look?

Radiant Silvergun (1998)
By Treasure
[Source: https://youtu.be/WotqBcdeyG8]

#RetroGaming #RetroGames #Arcade #Shmup

Gif from "Radiant Silvergun" (gameplay, 3D polygonal graphics, top-down perspective). A giant enemy mech shoots countless projectiles at a much smaller spaceship (the latter controlled by the player). The player-controlled spaceship seems to materialize giant "swords" out of thin air, which it uses to attack the much larger mech.
Gif from "Radiant Silvergun" (title screen). The words "Radiant Silvergun" appear in stylized text in front of a futuristic-looking spaceship.
Gif from "Radiant Silvergun" (gameplay, 3D polygonal graphics, top-down perspective). A giant humanoid figure runs through an endless void, while a comparatively-tiny spaceship (controlled by the player) shoots projectiles at it.
