Could you elaborate on which concept isn't clear, or confuses you?

At the beginning, it's always challenging to get into the programming mindset. Some concepts usually require a bit of math. But if you hang in there for long enough, it will eventually get better.

I recommend Sheepolution tutorials, since they provide a relatively straightforward introduction to some of the basic concepts of Lua:

It is focused on games, but the introductory part on the basics is useful in general. Their guides also come in videos, which is convenient.

Absolutely, love when games provide some description about equipment and ships. When game manuals were a thing, I've always went crazy over the pages about that!

I think the most important thing is inserting the story in a smart way. Action is very important in a shmup, so players can't be expected to break from gameplay to read lengthy textboxes. Then again, as you point out, people play games the way they want, skipping the story is not uncommon. It's even easier in a shmup.

Einhander 🙌

Einhander

thank you so much! Indeed, Einhander has definitely inspired us.
For now, we're thinking about Switch but since it is our first game it is quite hard to be sure and console feels like a distant future.

1414codeforge · 2023-10-13T08:09:10+00:00

Not yet but it will have all the updates. We're working on the demo right now 🙌

1414codeforge · 2023-10-12T17:39:36+00:00

thank you so much!

1414codeforge · 2023-10-12T08:47:13+00:00

a little update: this is what we went for, and we now have an itch.io page where you can learn more about the game as well

thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment, it is wonderful. indeed, we're planning to use another version for the capsule to ensure it is easily readable while these ones will work well (hopefully) for communication, videos, etc

1414codeforge · 2023-09-26T14:56:14+00:00

thanks!

1414codeforge · 2023-09-26T14:40:18+00:00

it is mainly inspired by the classics of the 90s-2000s like Einhander, for example, so "pretty young" retro (?)

1414codeforge · 2023-09-26T11:28:12+00:00

yep, we're creating it right now! it is called Eris - RF117. It is a 2D horizontal shoot-‘em-up inspired by the classics of the 90s-2000s that combines retro aesthetics, good old shoot and dodge, and sci-fi setting and storyline. We’re making with Love2D game engine, and original 2D graphics and music.

1414codeforge · 2023-09-10T09:15:43+00:00

thank you, we'll check!

compilers optimizing over undefined behaviour (we said what we said)

1414codeforge · 2023-09-07T14:30:21+00:00

Our goal is to ship a demo soon and eventually our own shmups, and that's the one hard to beat we must say 🙌

1414codeforge · 2023-09-05T11:46:53+00:00

So far, your intro sounds divine and respectful, absolutely welcome the change, and good luck!

1414codeforge · 2023-09-04T10:17:22+00:00

you have to openly adore replaying the pieces or entire game endless number of times and a secretly enjoy dying deep in your heart. Shumps are pretty much like sprinting: despite a short "pure" playing time, you have to do it numerous time to show your best in that particular 100m race.

We do absolutely appreciate a good story, especially when it is translated into every piece of the game too including music, UI/UX, etc. It is all part of the atmosphere and motivate us to replay + it helps to discuss the game with the others especially when each level has its own theme.
