I'm actuallt making a game of that time (I'm still a bit beginner though) and my player won't shoot when i go Down-Right and Up-Left diagonal directions. Shots are created when spacebar is held and configuration for movements is:
"Left" Event: (Script) x -= 4
and so on for other sides. Could you help me with that please ?
@xXOpkillerXx Try changing the fire key from space to something else. I don't know if it's a game maker, a keyboard or a computer thing but sometimes the spacebar doesn't register when multiple other keys are held down at once.
But now I'm stuck at writing the text such as score and lives.
I try using 'draw_text(16,576,"Score:")' in a "Create" event script for my Player [i set color at white right before] and nothing seems to appear. Even with that, I can't figure how I would display the actual score value. :O
@P1ER3 - Don't know what the issue is with the Play Now button - never use it myself. Just use the download option to the right of the comments section on the yoyogames page
great job you've done, thanks for the info (forum), i'm developing a shmups too, i'll post it in youtube when it's done. good luck! sorry for my bad english T_T
sure! but i m a little confused (bad english), if u don't mind, can u explain how do u do for the bosses? i mean the traject of the bullets. thnx man!
Have a look at a forum called 'shmups system 11' (google it) as there is a topic dedicated to bullet patterns in the development section and a lot of discussion RE GM specifically.
As fo thinking the patterns up, well that's completely up to you!

Thanks it worked, i now use "F" key.
But now I'm stuck at writing the text such as score and lives.

@xXOpkillerXx All drawing actions should go in the 'draw' event

Wow, this was very amusing.
I like your boss design, and I also liked the retro style look with the bullet-hell attribute.
