Congrats man! What a journey. I imagine your hyper gauge is going to be full for a while now! 😄

But this is coming from like a middle aged white guy so I’m not kidding myself that my viewpoint is particularly textured.

I agree that the rhetoric could be a bit broader, and that’s something I’ve tried to embed into my content. At the same time, there is no platform to build on / respond to, without someone doing the ground work. There is no Modernism without Italian Futurism first.

Totally with you on this one 👍🏻 - had a similar thought a while back in trying to think through why sci-fi racing games give me the same feels - the sense of flow through repeated meditative practice loops and trying to create a good sequence while responding to tweaks in real time.

You know I’d be keen. 😄

Glad I still know what the hip young people are into :D

Doujin Discordancy!! - Newest edition of Shmup_Lyf is out now! Grab it on MagCloud or Itch (Links below). Hope you enjoy this newest exploration of the doujin space, looking at their very human discordant qualities.

Thanks so much Giannis! Had a chance to play a little bit of the new demo today and it’s awesome - the narrative, the visual styles, the gameplay, the music - you got me hooked on all levels. Can’t wait till I have the time to play a bit more 😄

Zaleste X Subway Chips

The fusion of shump brands brings a flavour to mind that tastes of Japanese business meetings and different mentalities in the use of media properties.

Shmupcoming: Cycle Chaser H-5 (on Switch) Cycle Chaser by D. Piskorowski (@PD_CGT)is a game that really feels like it hasn't got the attention it deserves. I love it's stylish funk-chunky visuals and wonderful array of enemy designs with thei...

Cycle Chaser H-5 has been flying under the radar! This stylish game deserves more attention as it launches onto Switch.

Scowsh and Game-To-Play Methodology I had the chance to read through Scowsh's (@ScowshMolosh) 2024 Year in Shmups covering their numerous 1CCs, and I really appreciated it; both on its own merits as a piece of genre documentation, and b...

Scowsh and Game-To-Play Methodology:
Focusing on the journeys of the players who play shmups (rather than just the games) and how you can create a more meaningful narrative for your shmup path.

Sai Dai Err What?… DoDonPachi Sai Dai Ou Jou is out on Switch and it’s great, but I seem to get bugs regardless of where I play it (and I’m not just talking about bees).Playing through level 5 of the 360 Arrange one of the enemies was refercing the wrong part of the sprite sheet so ended up being attacked by a fluxing Missingno cloud. But to be honest I really appreciate these unique moments - when the curtain drops and you see how it all comes together there is a real appreciation

Bugs and exposing the beauty behind the curtain.
