I used to mostly draw things, but right now I'm focused on developing a vertical STG Rainchaser! There is a demo for it now, so please give it a try if you are interested. Also shoutouts to @motijan.bsky.social who is making music for the game! - ThreadSky

looks very similar to zero ranger! I love it!

Beautiful
Just recently got into this genre with Ikaruga but I think I may stay awhile

kornodd.bsky.social•141 days ago

It's a really good genre! I would recommend ZeroRanger and Blue Revolver for going further into it.
Oh, and also Radiant Silvergun, it's made by the same studio as Ikaruga.

LOVE the color scheme going on in all of this! 👀

kornodd.bsky.social•142 days ago

The demo is on both steam:

Looks sick ngl

krylan.bsky.social•141 days ago

Looks interesting! I'll definetely check out the demo today, as I love shmups (also want to make one).

krylan.bsky.social•141 days ago

@kornodd.bsky.social I played the demo right now. It looks really good. Professional level of graphic, music, worldbuilding.
In the game, I had one problem: when you stick to the bottom of screen, and avoid bullets going left and right, the life counter appears and disappears – it's a bit annoying.

kornodd.bsky.social•141 days ago

Thanks for trying it out! The disappearing is mostly to avoid the hud elements obstructing your view, might make the hitbox for that stretch more horizontally to make it more consistent.

Really curious how you made this!
Like what language and/or engine did you use?

kornodd.bsky.social•23 days ago

I use GameMaker, which has it's own coding language. It's pretty easy to get into and flexible enough so I don't feel restricted while developing things, so I'm quite happy working with it overall

clairvoyantchocobo.bsky.social•22 days ago

Thank you for the quick response!
I'll have to look closer into it.

stoopingas.bsky.social•141 days ago

that first level's been a grind as someone who hasn't played a lot of bullet hells but its such a cool game

cureisonline.bsky.social•141 days ago

looks phenomenal :)

sceera1.bsky.social•141 days ago

Reminds me of raptor: call of the shadows

nyxdiscordia.bsky.social•141 days ago

what's a vertical STG?

is that what we're calling shmups now?

sceera1.bsky.social•141 days ago

From what I just googled, that's exactly what it means.

nyxdiscordia.bsky.social•141 days ago

yeah, same

I can't figure out what STG stands for, though lol

my brain just keeps defaulting to "Shoot the Gun"

netdoll.bsky.social•141 days ago

Shooting game. It's an initialism that was coined in Japan then jumped the pond to become widely used by arcade and doujin types because a lot of people didn't like the sound of shmup and shooter wasn't specific enough.

nyxdiscordia.bsky.social•141 days ago

oh!

that makes so much sense, actually

personally I'm still a fan of shmup, but it's nice to know that we have other words for it now

netdoll.bsky.social•141 days ago

Yeah I think shmup is the better word in conversation, but either is better than the Twin Galaxies boomer coded stuff like "space shooter"

unruiel-veritas.bsky.social•141 days ago

oh man I miss these types of games XD
