Summary0017880: Shot Idea Prototypes
DescriptionSince the engine is so mod friendly I've been experimenting creating some different shot types, heavily inspired by classic shmups. Here are videos of these prototype shots in action. (Prototype meaning that my art skills are very poor, and my coding not that much better. But still, they may prove some inspiration for the bullet artists).


Burst Laser

This was initially inspired by the Bangai-o laser, but it turned out a bit different. Meant to fire in short bursts like at the start of the vid, but I couldn't recreate that behaviour in the shot xml as I wanted, which is why you can still hold and shoot.


Ring Laser

Straight up copy of the ring weapon in early R-type games. Later ring weapons look, nicer, like this, though: https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-w6ZtDMmtcvA%2FUBQXfbzCp3I%2FAAAAAAAACWM%2F16dfY5C7uZQ%2Fs400%2FrType_00.jpg&f=1


Hex Blaster

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30011618/Starward%20Rogue/StarwardRogue%20--%20Hexblaster.mp4

Very similar to a weapon in R-type Final.


Radiant Ripple

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30011618/Starward%20Rogue/StarwardRogue--%20RadiantRipple.mp4

Meant to be a holy version of the ripple gun from Gradius (maybe Paladin gun). In Gradius, the ripple gets bigger the further it travels, though (up to a point!). Don't think you can recreate that in this engine.

This is a bit of fun for me, so if I do any more I'll keep adding them here. No point cluttering up Mantis with loads of these reports.


Browny Laser

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30011618/Starward%20Rogue/Starward%20Rogue%20--%20BrownyLaser.mp4

This is like Browny's laser from Contra Hardcorps. I've actually tried to do this one in a more Arcen, style.


Guardian Blaster 2

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30011618/Starward%20Rogue/StarwardRogue%20--%20Guardian%20Blaster%202.mp4

Here, I've just tried to create a more solid wall version of the Guardian Blaster. I just doubled the angled offsets and used a full 28 width beam image so it looks like one whole laser wall. If you pause the video, though, you can see the left and right edges are not rounded.

Did you get these integrated the way you wanted?

The browny laser and hex blaster are doable using the current shots available. Ring laser and radiant ripple don't really have the appropriate shot types available, and the beamy ones are just not that well suited to the engine, probably.

Gotcha -- I'll mark this as closed for now, then.
