Grabbed a 1cc of Hard Mode in Devil Blade Reboot this eve after struggling with it for a few days. Had to sit back on the scoring after stage 1 & go full survival mode. Hereโs my stage 3 boss bit - sitting back and just trying to get thru ๐

Good luck, itโs so hard to make a good shmup, especially without experience in the genre.

Back to our shmup roots, this week we have a super in-depth Esprade interview with art director Junya Inoue! I've wanted to do this one for a long time and it didn't disappoint: tons of fascinating lore on the characters and world design. Plus concept art! shmuplations.com/esprade/

Not really, thereโs so much to cover. I could put something together that explains how I use it/the features that I utilise, and the limitations that it brings, if thatโd help?

Iโve been holding off on Earthion so Iโll be using this as a bit of a guide, I love seeing the graphics in print & Iโve listened to the ost a ton, so Iโm looking forward to getting stuck in (after I get Devil Blade Reboot hard mode 1cc). Keep the shmup stuff coming, only reason I buy this mag ๐ค

Schildmaid MX physical in with lots of other ps4, xbox 360 and switch shmups crammed in a shelf (sorry Michiel).
In with some good company, if a little cramped and disorganised (as well it should be when theyโre often played ๐ซก)

This sounds lush Tine. Loved the transition after the woodwind-esque instrument into 1:56(ish). It felt so uplifting, but in a very subtle way (which made it even more so imo). Very much an enjoyable listen, thanks for sharing ๐

On the m8 tracker again, making a lil tune with 3(plus) different time signatures for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social #3timesignatures prompt. Mainly 5/4, 3/4, 6/8 and 4/4 used. Fun times adding lord of thunder visuals as it has a 16bit feel imo. #m8tracker #muwee #16bit #lordsofthunder

As always with your music even though so much is going on, itโs mixed/composed so everything is really clear & makes an impact. Love your choice of percussion after the very atmospheric intro. A lovely musical journey over 3 mins ๐

The Candy Cab room at Arcade Club in Bury. At least 30 Japanese Candy Cabinets line a long darkly lit room.
DFK score entry screen.
Progear title screen.
Another fun night at Arcade Club in Bury last night. Got an irl 2-1 clear of DFK, made it to 1-5 on co-op too. Theyโve added Progear cab, and all the usual suspects are looking as good as ever (Batrider, Garegga, Strikers 1945 II, Espgaluda, Ketsui, Crimzon Clover + more!). #shmup #stg
