Robert Stewart Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I imagine rank control would be even more annoying in an arcade where you have to pay for lives.... Although serious though yeah we don't have design it around rank control we should find some cool way to make it unique. Man this is hard hmm yeah it is kinda tough to think of something that would make it stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soledai Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Melty Blood is a stupid name for a game It kinda is TBH. But then again.... You what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I imagine rank control would be even more annoying in an arcade where you have to pay for lives.... yeah it is kinda tough to think of something that would make it stand out. the system was actually designed to make money to unsuspecting players who went collect all powerups hold down shot button. Yeah and we have to worry about scoring systems as well :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostyFireMage Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Melty Blood sounds like it was thought up by an edgy 12 year old MELTY BLOOD OF THE EVIL DEMON CHAINSAW MURDERER No hate for the actual game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junk Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) and hilarious XD well if we actually can get someone who knows danmafaku and likes type moon this could be pretty awesome. We'd have to find some way to do some work ourselves though lol. Also trust me if there isn't a good scoring system people will just throw the game away Edited April 13, 2015 by Junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 hm...what if there was an accuracy rating? Is that a thing in most shmups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 we also need someone that actually knows about sprite work lets not forget that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 you mean like a ranking? Well a lot of shmups give out score bonuses for not dying in a stage and having a higher number of bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stewart Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) you mean like a ranking? Well a lot of shmups give out score bonuses for not dying in a stage and having a higher number of bombs. no, I mean like a rating based on how many of your shots actually hit something. It's not a 2D shmup, but rogue leader has something like that for its rankings at the stage. Speaking of Rogue Leader, it also has a mechanic where your shots are a bit more powerful if you don't just spam your lasers...though I guess for a shmup, shot strength wouldn't matter much outside of bosses.

Junk Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) do we want to make this a bullet hell or a more traditional shmup (i.e bix hitboxes and way less bullets but much faster, something like truxton) @shin nope from what i've played Edited April 13, 2015 by Junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Devil Trigger Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) didn't one of the pc98 touhou bullet hell games consider accuracy in the final results? i think the last one? Edited April 13, 2015 by Tonton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well I figured bullet hell was a given Although I wouldn't mind a more traditional Shmup, those are fun too....Although in those, generally aren't the bosses really big? Doesn't seem like it'd work for a Tsukihime themed game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 we went from tsukihime fan shmup to shmups in general golly gee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Devil Trigger Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 i think bullet hell would be better for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 i think bullet hell would be better for it shmup, bullet hell tomato, toma-toe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I personally prefer bullet hell as well. Just curious. Would it be possible to make a horizontal shmup with danmafaku? @shock nope bullet hell is a subgenre of shmup Edited April 13, 2015 by Junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I don't know enough about that to answer. Isn't that just a Touhou fan engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junk Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 yeah it is. I want to use this because I have no idea how we would develop one from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
