Here is my very first fangame. It is made in 1999 in Klik 'n Play, later ported to Multimedia Fusion to take advantage of advanced features. Get the game at: http://www.sendspace.com/file/abp1vz It is a Gradius-style shmup that has a prominent dimension-hopping element. That element has been a staple in my fangames since, from Xeno Fighters EX all the way to Super Mario Fusion. Since it is my first fan game, it does have its flaws. For example, the weapons system is very unpolished and confusing. One weapon is completely useless (it was more of Klik 'n Play's fault, since I had almost no control over variables). This video showcases the final mission, which is a trip to Microsoft Land, a hellish reality of the Microsoft environment from the mid-90's! General Protection Faults! EMM386 Exception errors! Flying Windows Icons! Program Manager! This stage has both a midboss and a final boss, complete with cutscenes.

Download link: http://bugsrider.gamengame.com/ This is an interesting multiplayer online vs. shmup - Bugsrider. This match is three players. The way it works is only one person can attack at a time, while the others are in defense mode. Thing is, you CANNOT control anything when defending. So, you are at the mercy of the other player. This brings some strategy into the game - should you gang up on one person? Or try not to piss off the highest level character? Keyboard controls only so far, you have shot, charge shot, and bomb. You can gain XP and level up, and also buy upgrades at a shop in the central hub. I like this so far. It's still in beta testing mode as of posting this, so all stats will be erased (don't spend days leveling up just yet). My player is shmupnut if you want to fight me! ;)

These are the shoot'em ups I beat between SEP-07 and FEB-08. It's a nice compilation that encompasses the Mega Drive, the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast. Yes, I know that there are some stinkers here, but hey - they deserve to be beaten as well! Featured games: - Hellfire (Mega Drive) - Bio-Hazard Battle (Mega Drive) - Bio-Ship Paladin (Mega Drive) - Master of Weapon (Mega Drive) - Burning Force (Mega Drive) - Arrow Flash (Mega Drive) - Twinkle Tale (Mega Drive) - Divine Sealing (Mega Drive) - Gun Frontier (Saturn) - Thunder Force V (Saturn) - Giga Wing (Dreamcast) I decided to keep their original audio. The video doesn't make the games any justice though... Enjoy! Coming soon: Shmup Report #2.

The theme of this session is enemy manipulation. So here it is! Popoyoi, the devil apprentice can collect enemy souls and use them as a shield to slow down touching enemy bullets. Collected enemy souls can also be exploded, created a barrier that turn all touching enemy bullets into bonus score with the multiplier equal to the number of souls captured. If this made it to a fullgame, then all these graphics are placeholders lol

This is a playthrough in hard mode of my prototype for shmup-dev.net rapid prototype development session 6. The theme is 'You're not the boss of me' (aka Boss Rush ;) ) The game is made in Ruby+Gosu. Gosu is a 2d game library for C++/Ruby. It's really easy to use, and pretty powerful too. Better yet, it is Thai friendly :D You can find more about gosu here. : http://libgosu.org/

This is some gameplay footage from Armada, a Dreamcast shmup/RPG hybrid made by Metro3d. It's early in the game, so my character is not a very high level yet. I wander to a boss who is still too powerful to defeat, then head to an enemy infested town who are much higher levels than I am, and get properly wasted. Armada is a shmup at it's core, but has the most RPG elements I've seen in a hybrid game so far. You can level up, buy items, talk to characters, form teams (4 players local plus NPCs), and go on quests. Armada is an interesting concept, and would be great for current generation consoles with online functions.

lilmanjs quotes "what the heck is the world record for this game? and what are the settings you have to play the game at to get your score to be a world record. I'm thinking of trying to get the world record." "I may be setting my sights a little high, but I've been playing that game like crazy this past month and thought I might as well go for something big." "oh please, if I posted the score I have on my viper phase 1 machine you'd all say I've just taken the high score of somebody else. I really do work hard to master games I own." "don't doubt the passion I have for getting my first world record. if it can be done I will prove it." "its a nice page, but I laugh at the viper phase 1 western record." "hey I'd like to at least give a good shot at getting the WR in under defeat, but it seems nobody here really cares or gives have a rat's ass about helping people try to do what they set out to do." "hell, I have a blog for some of my other video games stuff and I think I just might start a blog with my progress updates as well. so expect tomorrow to have a link to my blog and my latest goals and some pics of me probably getting my ass kicked." "so far I've beaten the game but not on 1 credit." "laugh all you want but I'm a quick learner as I've said." "I may not be that good right now but pratice works out. if you pratice enough you can do what you set out to do. if only I could take a pic(can't since I don't have access to my dreamcast right now) I've got a higher score than what I posted in the high scores thread."

http://mkfusion.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=2878 for more information. These are Bombs from the Raiden Fighters SHMUP games by Seibu Kaihatsu. Their function is inspired from the Star Fox Power Bomb items from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. These items differ from normal Bomb items (like Bob-Ombs and Grass Bombs) in the following ways: *The explosions do not hurt the player, like real SHMUP bombs. *The explosions do not hurt bosses. *They do hurt lesser enemies. *They cancel out bullet-hell bullets. These two Raiden Fighters Bomb items will be found rarely in levels (where you need to blast special walls) and only during bullet-hell bosses. The bomb items even use the original sound effects.

Another shmup video. This game is called "Galshell" and if i have to describe it in one word it would be "weird" or "disgusting" XD It is a good shmup, but the scenario is just weird, it looks like inspired int some Giger's painting, but this actually is good for me because I'm a disgusting person LOLOLOL As you can see I'm bored so watch the video and stop reading.

Between university and my first job I made this game. It's a bit weird looking, I know. That was half the point. I was trying to see if I could work with a self imposed restriction - design a game in monochrome, and see how well you can communicate the game play through rather abstract means. I don't think I totally succeeded, but I learned a awful lot about how to express information to a player in clear, concise ways. There's also some interesting gameplay mechanics - nothing "dies" in this world (except bullets and bombs). You're simply "turning" actors between light and dark energy - so if a light person continuously shoots a dark person, the dark person eventually becomes light. If a dark person shoots another dark person, it's like "healing". The original heightmap engine was made by David Hillier, a friend back in the day. I made a big mess of his engine trying to get this specific look. Sozzles, Dave! I don't really have any plans to pursue this game further, although... on the Wii? Hmm. I can think of a neat control system!

More words about these games are here: http://www.kollision.biz/news/news_2008/news20080805.htm I hope some shoot'em up fans out there enjoy the compilation!
