FINAL BOSS - The debut trailer

[Ebb1993isgreat]

Raiden IV ending theme?

[HornetFellow]

BLAST OFF AND STRIKE THE EVIL BYDO FIGHTER!

That made my day. : )

[MattTheSpratt]

Will there be an option to replace the BGM with our own tracks?

Because that Raiden IV music is starting to sound synonymous with Final Boss right now.

[Eboshidori]

@MattTheSpratt

We haven't really thought about that, but at the moment I would say no.

[justjake274]

Do you have a basic idea for the control scheme down yet? I would love to hear :D

Will it be wasd or Arrow-keys based?

[eebrozgi]

Yes. The controls for player 1 are arrows and ZXC, alternatively JKL. For player two, you move with WSAD or numpad 5213. Shooting happens from 123 or 789. Joystick is also supported.

The options were born when we added 2-player support. Possible changes in the future, of course.

[justjake274]

Would it be possible for player 1 to use WASD?

[eebrozgi]

Well, kind of. You can choose the player 2 ship and play with that alone.

[tk4l]

looks great, can't wait

[raCteJ]

Niiiice. I can't wait to try this one out a bit. Looks pretty cool.

[puretay]

Ebo is making a game? Surely we are all doomed.

[emikochan13]

Looking AWESOME, can't wait for this :D

[cactussquid]

Looks awesome guys!

[vortexreaper]

This game is made with Game Maker?! It's awesome!

[Haku1201]

I agree...I can't wait to diss-I mean play it.

[sdub13]

G-Game Maker?!

WHAT?! YOU MADE THIS WITH GAME MAKER!?

*passes out*

[Eboshidori]

You should thank eebrozgi, he is responsible for coding this game.

[sdub13]

I'm guessing you did some spriting and ideas?

[Eboshidori]

Yes, I took care of the graphics and wrote the story, eebrozgi handled coding and composed the music. Overall, however, both of us have affected on many things - such as enemy/level design, scoring, weapons etc. and so far it has been extremely rewarding.

[sdub13]

I absolutely cannot wait for the demo to be released.

You need a level dedicated to MOAR DANMAKU in my opinion. :D

[PortecPain]

You make that with Game Maker?

Abolutly great!

[Meridia]

Ja nyt se tekee vielä pelejäkin..

._.

[MattTheSpratt]

Wow, this is amazing.

It's like a love letter to the shmup genre in general.

It plays like Ikaruga mixed with a Toaplan shooter, it has the R-9A and Vic Viper as stage bosses, it just...wow.

[Bushradar22]

holy crap. looks epic.

[krazykev360]

The "access denied" screen at the end was pretty funny. it's intresting now that i think about it, the vic viper in gradius and ZoE are almost identical(not including the mech transformation in ZoE's)

[Razorwind01]

Is ment to be. Both Konami games. The Vic Viper in ZoE 2 is an (AWESOME) shout out.

[MrLineriderguy]

*just waits for it*

[wemcndxl]

my eyes are blinded by the sheer epicness of this game :D

[justjake274]

Oh and, will this game have customizable controls?

[eebrozgi]

Sadly, no, not the demo version at least.

[tk4l]

Will you have my children?

[Xaerock]

Hm, those swaying mechs at the boss warning remind me a lot of Soldier Blade as well, I havent played CRS much.

[Eboshidori]

Yes, those mechs were inspired by SB, one of my favorite shmups. FB is full of cameos like that ;)

[NARFNra]

About the boss warning, what do the bosses have to do with R-Type? it says "Bydo" fighter, are they...

POWERED BY DOBKERATOPS?!?

[Eboshidori]

All bosses have different warning texts. E.g. Vic Viper's actually says "Shoot the Core?". So the game isn't taking itself too seriously.

[UltimateInfinty]

vic viper? isnt that from Zone of the enders?

[eebrozgi]

No, it's from Gradius.

[UltimateInfinty]

touche....

[Razorwind01]

The boss warnings appear to be shout outs to each game that boss is from, eg the one about the bydo was because you will be fighting an R-Type fighter. and, as Eboshidori has said, Vic Viper will be proceded by 'shoot the core'.

This looks awesome and epic, great job.

Is the last 'attitude for gains' speech; 'be praying, be praying, be praying' perhaps?

[justjake274]

I love you.

[justjake274]

:3

I hope this comes out soon.

[Xaerock]

Nice progress with the game! too bad you couldnt show the great music. I like the idea of fighting classic shmup player ships. Cho Ren Sha boss incoming at the end? :P

[NARFNra]

Dang, my glitched internet won't let me see it...

I hope it's awesome...

[ultimatepower22]

*CoughR-TYPECough*

xD

You're MAKING shmups now!?! Isn't just making obscenely awesome bosses enough?!? :D

[TrueHyphen]

Looks pretty darn epic.
