I will give the player an infrared or Electromagnetic Field vision camera that serves to spot enemys and also as a navigation tool.
As of now its a lot of wandering around but the camera thing should help you where to go.

Is there like a universal tip that help me improve in shmups? I just started getting into this genre

Yes, you wanna hear it anon? Here it goes:P R A C T I C E
>>147384661
Started 4 months ago and this was helping me a lot:

>>147384661
Watch replays. Focus on learning a single game at a time to maximize gains - this will also improve your general skill, making you better at shmups more quickly.
This is the definitive guide to shmups: http://pastebin.com/9RENahD0
>>147384850

>>147385054
>>147385187
thanks anons, so I really just gotta keep up the grind then

L-lewd
>>147384661
Just play the game LMAO
>>147385187
Is there anything wrong with being into shmups but not particularly into otaku culture? For example, I found that paste bin mostly just slightly disgusting. Feels like the odd one out sometimes.
>>147387928
Yes. Leave.
So am I supposed to look at my player character or at the enemies' bullets
>>147388485
Depends. If your character is a cute girl, then you already know the answer.
>>147388485
Look at as much of the screen as possible. After playing enough you'll develop the ability to know where your character is without looking directly at it.
>>147387928
No, not really. There's shmups with aircraft, spaceships, or robots, or lolis, etc. Although some shitposters may claim otherwise.
And I think the pastebin was supposed to be satirical. Or at least I assume it was.
>>147388485
Keep an eye on the general area around your character in the direction the bullets are coming from. If you're playing a vertical shmup, the bullets will probably be coming at you from above, so maybe keep your eyes like 4 hitbox-lengths above your character so that you can see bullets that are coming at you and move accordingly. It kind of depends on the type of shmup you're playing, what game, etc. but that's usually how I try to do it.
Or to put it another way, you try to more look at the enemies' bullets but keep your player character in your peripheral so that you know where you are at all times as well. I'm not really sure how to explain it all that well, you kinda just get used to it as you become more experienced with playing.
>>147387928
No not at all. I hate all magical girl stuff. I actively look for shmups that have as little of that shit as possible.
>>147388485
A little bit of both. Eventually you'll memorize enemy positions and attack patterns and it will help a lot.
>>147387928
That pastebin is a parody of http://pastebin.com/deNZ6S1q
Is there any westerner who ever made a good shmup?
Hurricane of the Varstray is pretty interesting. Would probably say it's worth the $3 it's on for right now. Game is really easy though so if it turns out that the scoring sucks then it's kinda a dud. The risk reward nature of the special attack seems like it could be interesting to optimize though.
>>147393026
Steredenn is fun and was made by some French dudes.
>>147393026
If there are Sine Mora cancels them out anyway.
>>147393026
I thought Final Boss was pretty good.

>>147393615
Don't worry I'm sure EA games, Bethesda, or Ubisoft will release a AAA approved shmup for you to play any day now.
Which stick/buttons are best for going full shmup?
1-all baby! So close to losing it, too.
Now to learn stage 2 chaining or stage 4 bees and I can get into the loop.
>>147394606
Congratulations!
Come to think of it, I need to stop being lazy and squeeze out the last little bit for that Mushi Maniac 1cc myself...
>>147394606
おめでとう!
>>147394863
I'm trying to maniac novice and I was doing the best I've ever done until the game crashed after beating the 4th stage boss.
Today's profile is the fourth of the Hell girls, Carmilla! A parallel of sorts to Plumeria, her breasts are smaller so who cares?!
Sometimes I'm really winging it with the description portion of these things.
>>147395123
Ouch. Well, uh, you did it once, so you know you can do it again! Don't dwell too hard, pick yourself up and try again when you're ready.
>>147394863

I know that feel.

Does Casper like methodical masterpieces?
>>147401396
I dunno. Probably not. All I know is that Casper really likes meat!
I decided to get Hitogata Happa and Suguri. On top of having bought CCWI earlier this week. And still having aspirations in Mushihimesama and Deathsmiles. Guess I'm stocked on shmups for a while...
why is windia such a klutz?
>>147407005
because she's a failure at everything
>>147409463
we have so much in common....
>>147409530
say mean things about Windia, it might make you feel better.
>>147410440
b-but bullying is wrong, I can't do that! The only way to truly feel better is to improve myself!
>>147410820
To be fair, Windia kiiiinda seems like bullying material.
Rate my shmup, shmupg!
>>147412390
Impossible
>>147412390
the leveldesing seems a bit lackluster so far
>>147412390
The bullets blend in with the background too much.
Someone else keep the thread bumped for a while, I need to gonap____
>>147394606
what does the "all" in 1-all mean? What else could be written there?
>>147415965
All stages
>>147415965
>What else could be written there?
2-all, which would be a clear of both loops
Are the MAME Parodius games a good starting point for a noob?
>>147417554
parodius is brutal, dont get fooled by the cutesy stuff
>>147417554
>>147417782
Parodius Da 2-ALL is near the top of THE LIST
>>147418232
of what?
>>147418345
http://www.wikihouse.com/stg/index.php?STG%A5%E9%A5%F3%A5%AF%B0%EC%CD%F7
>>147417782
Then what do you suggest? I really like the tone of the games
>>147419141
Play Gradius, or R-Type Leo
>>147415965
If you get to stage 3 in the second loop, it would be called "2-3"
>>147417554
QP shooting dangerous
>>147394606
Congrats anon, I'm still trying to beat Stage 6
I think you can get the 2nd loop by losing less than 2 lives as well
If I wanted to try playing with a stick what should I get for my first one?
>>147422240
hori real arcade pro 4
you shouldnt bother with cheap sticks cuz they'll always end up being shit
>>147422341
Thanks.
Is it really best to have the stick on the left and the buttons on the right if you're right handed? Seems the other way around would make more sense
>>147422431
nah, im right handed and it makes sense to me
>>147422240
qanba q1
it's cheap and not too big
also buy an extra seimitsu ls-32 stick
>>147421217
QP?
>>147387928
>Is there anything wrong with being into shmups but not particularly into otaku culture?
Absolutely not i to hate these fucking sad desperate for an identity weak beta fucks who have waifu and other cringey man baby shite. If you're just a cool guy who enjoys the games and doesn't feel the need to be a cornball sad fuck then i for one welcome you and will happily fight off the tragic cunts in our defence.

>>147427308
Sorr for the bad quality, but the resolution of the game made it look all blurry.

Kraut faggot stop playing shit games and 1cc CCWI already

Shmups on sale on GOG!
Crimzon Clover WI, Raiden III and IV and some others.
>>147429512
About that video, I sent you a message about it on your e-mail adress. And I'd like to upload it, it's better than not having anything to upload.
>>147432260
Oh, yes on my side I also can't extract it somehow. I have no idea why. The vid always worked for me before.
I can reupload it, but I don't know if I can re-compress it. I already rendered it once.
>>147432759
Oh, by re-compressing I don't mean re-rendering. I just mean make a different 7-zip file with the video in it and upload that instead.
>>147432260
Although, uploading this takes so long for me. If you want you can record the vid yourself from the leaderboards, like you said once. My name is the same there. Otherwise, maybe an other day.
>>147433060
Alright, I'll give the replay on the leaderboard a look soon.
>>147433016
Oh I see. I just tried to open up the vids from where I took them, and I can't open them somehow anymore. I think I accidently replaced a part of them when trying to extract the archive, and now they don't work anymore.
>>147433189
Alright, good. I think that would be less of a hassle for both of us. Just record it whenever you feel like it.
>>147418232
>>147418803

>>147449184
I recognize that cutie!
>>147454083
Practice is never over
Type I in Crimzon Clover actually feels pretty slow.
I have no problem micro-dodging danmaku.
The memes were all false.
>>147440587
Somehow I missed this earlier. See? Toldja. You're almost there! Just gotta grind out some stage 5 practice now, much like myself.
>>147456575
She is cute, but I can't not-see Casper when I look at her.Is there more official art of her somewhere? That looks like it's taken from an artbook or something. I'm interested in seeing more but I've only found the few things on Gelbooru.
>>147457245
Yes, there is an official artbook of her. You can find it on Sadpanda when you search for "Btooom!". I suppose you've also looked at the manga if you're interested in the girl? It's actually rather fun, when I first started reading it, it was purely because the artist was Junya Inoue
If you don't have access to Sadpanda then I can just dump the thing here.
>>147457779
Ah okay, I found it. Thanks.
Haven't looked at the manga yet, maybe soon though. I really like Junya Inoue's art style. Less so for Deathsmiles 2, but even that's still kind of okay-ish.
>>147457779
>Btooom!
Isn't that the manga where that famous guy from hudson is the villain? I should finish it.
What would be an innovative and fresh idea or a shmup?

start in the middle and pan right when all the bits are gone stop shooting and fly across to the other side after the next bullet atack from the bits and do the same, just minor edging.
>>147460503
Have Michael Bay direct it and have EA games publish it. Set the price tag to $60.00 and add a $30.00 season pass. Then /v/ and anon's like this one >>147393615
will finally be able to play a shmup.
>>147466628
Graphics are important in a shmup, just like the music

Got to stage 5 with 3 lives in Mushi Maniac today and lost all of them in the first half of the stage. ;_;
Nervousness really sucks
>>147474453
Nothing that another try can't fix. Hopefully.
just got my first novice manic 1cc in mushi on steam and it didn't save my score or even give me the option of entering my initials? wtf? what did i fuck up?

The framerate is really low, either in the game itself or the webm.

Many years ago I played a shmup where you got stronger the closer your hitbox was to an enemy projectile. Any idea what this might have been?
>>147485740
shikigami no shiro has a mechanic like that
also psyvariar
>>147485837
Thanks! I looked at both and it was definitely shikigamo no shiro 2. I wasn't able to appreciate the mechanic much at the time but in hindsight it is a pretty cool idea.

>>147488675
Congrats. You can do Novice Ultra if you think you aren't ready to move up to Normal Original or Maniac yet, otherwise I'd say try both of those two Normal modes and see which one you like better.
anyone use the new seimitsu stick?
Stay alive
Since it's at page 9. Random question: do you guys use any kind of peripherals when you play your shmups?

I use a 360 Afterglow gamepad. Dpad on it is nice. Need to do some maintenance on it though, my dpad is starting to squeak.
>>147498314
i found that dpad to be heartbreaking at the very least.

Afterglow dpad is miles better than Microsoft's piece of shit.
to throw another game out there, I've really enjoyed Danmaku Unlimited 2. Easier game than most but the production quality is fantastic.

Bump.

when is it? Is anything good on?
I got a bit into the original R-type, but I also got Jamestown on steam, haven't played it yet.
Should I stick with R-type or start up Jamestown? I'm new to shmups

He's pulling your leg.
All shmup submissions are invariably rejected from GDQs. It's the way of the world.

Jametown is meme shmup. If you want Cave, play Cave. R-Type is the way to go though.
Assuming that I do stop procrastinating and get the Mushi Maniac clear sometime soon, which shmup should I try after that? CCWI, Hitogata Happa, or Suguri?Or go back to scoring in Deathsmiles and try to break 300m with Casper.

play imperishable night
>>147511161
Depends what you wanna play for. Do you want a good score, then play Deathsmiles. Do you want an easy clear, then play Suguri or Hitogata Happa. Do you just want an excellent shmup, then play CCWI.

But I've already played Imperishable Night! Although it's true that I never wound up getting the Lunatic 1CC...
>>147511848
Well from those descriptions, it sounds like CCWI would be my best bet. Or Hitogata Happa. Depends on my mood. I can be very lazy at times, you see.
>>147512149
I'd play CCWI mainly and just go to the other games from time to time. CCWI is good but can get pretty frustrating.

that's basically not playing at all then!
