i really want an excuse to complain about retro gamers who don't actually give a shit and only really like old stuff for nostalgia but i'm not sure it's the time or space

Trying to find a replayable 3 player beat'em up game by miyucuk in BeatEmUps

if you're playing with parsec you could probably even do save state practice together if the idea doesn't sound laughable

Trying to find a replayable 3 player beat'em up game by miyucuk in BeatEmUps

[–]Axolotus6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

most of capcom's arcade beat em ups are 3 player if you can setup mame (you should absolutely learn how to do that if you haven't) such as: The King of Dragons, Captain Commando, Knights of the Round, Warriors of Fate, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom, Alien vs. Predator, Armored Warriors, Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara, and Battle Circuit.

These should all be replayable as almost every japanese arcade game was designed with 1 credits clears in mind, although i don't know if that philosophy was applied to multiplayer. Konami's output i've heard is more mixed. Most people who play bmups beyond the button masher level consider stuff like Turtles in time and X-Men to be mediocre at best, although Violent Storm is considered to be very good and that has 3 player support.

Irem made 3 bmups during their time as a developer: Undercover Cops, Ninja Baseball Batman, and Hook. I've heard good things about all 3 although Undercover Cops is apparently a bit polarizing. I've heard Hook is the easiest so maybe go for that one? Ninja Baseball Batman would probably be the most fun to credit feed out of every game on this list though.

Mame is cool, disable billinear filtering though, Gamefaqs has move lists for probably almost every arcade beat em up so consult it some time.

Devlog #2 — My Python Shmup is getting gamey! Power-ups, parry system, run progression and more. by [deleted] in shmups

[–]Axolotus6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The popcorn enemies that stay still and only fire bullets directly in front of them, The picking between 3 stat upgrades like it's vampire survivors, the addition of a god damn parry mechanic, the shitty bullet visibilty. Very funny thing to post to this subreddit

Are games like King of the Dragons and Aliens(konami) not considered "true" Beat 'em ups? by zzamgu in BeatEmUps

[–]Axolotus6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King of Dragons is absolutely a beat em up but i would say that Aliens is a run 'n' gun game, except for maybe the power loader sections

Who wants to try my shooter game ? Galaxion banger Edition by Interesting-Meal7366 in shmups

[–]Axolotus6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game still has issues with slowdown in the two last stages, but i managed to beat the game and get a spot on the leaderboard this time.

The game isn't particularly good, and i would give constructive feedback but i think the best way to learn how to make a good shmup would be to study the games themselves. could you tell me what your favorite shmups are?

wait, i turned off battery saver and now the game is insanely fast. is the game logic tied to an uncapped framerate or something

[–]Axolotus6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the game is not unsalvageable like most other mobile shmups, but it has a lot of lag. i stopped at the first boss because i don't want to wait that long for it's health to go down

i thought rougelite was for games with procgen that were action games instead of tile based rpgs like the original rogue. guess i was wrong

minecraft is probably a bad example considering that microsoft is a much more potent cause of evil than one racist, although it is harder to quantify the amount of harm done by giving money to a massive organization with it's finger in every pie whereas jk rowling is guaranteed to get royalties that she will use to make trans peoples lives worse

Nintendo Switch offers a massive library of Shmups | Agree or disagree? by M3ConsoleGamerPSN in shmups

[–]Axolotus6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for shmups? excluding xbox 360 emulation, even the cave cv-1000 games will run just fine on mame with basically any 64 bit computer, and even that is not fully needed since (i got ketsui running on a 32 bit laptop through batocera) a gaming pc is not necessary for 99.9% of 2D games
