TheZeldaZone👑🏳️‍⚧️🎮🎀I really wish more people would try out <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shmup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shmup</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bullethell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bullethell</a> gamesA misconception non-players have is they're about shooting; the shooting is mostly automatic. They are dodging games; Undertale is heavily inspired by shmups.A trick is most bullets on screen have 0% chance of hitting you unless you crash straight into them. You learn pretty quick and it's very satisfyingAll modern (as of 360 or earlier really) STG/Shmup/etc games have many difficulty modes, accessibility options<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaming</a>

I decided to first play some <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/IndieGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieGames</a> in the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Shmup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shmup</a> genre for inspiration. :) I never actually played any shoot-em-up <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#games</a> before.These past few days, I played the beautiful <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/HyperEchelon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HyperEchelon</a> by Markus Jost and Raymond Schlitter.

Jason KoohiI really needed an easier way to make cutscenes so I built one! We can launch characters, move 'em around, change tints, etc. And not shown but I can also trigger FX like rain or screen overlays which is neat.
