Hi guys!
We'll make physical copies, but we'll also release the rom for free some time afterwards, like we did for Oh Mummy! Genesis.
We appreciate your input on every aspect of the game, we'll try to improve the weak points!!
Suggestions for options screen:
Volume meter for sfx
Volume meter for music
Music test
Sfx test
Difficulty settings (easy, normal, hard and maybe super hard)
Oh Mummy is very fun to play, but it is also very buggy. Hope you can allow testers for this game, it will be needed I'm sure and not just because of Oh Mummy, but because putting the testing task on just a few people is never enough.
Thanks for your suggestions Zebbe, we'll try to have something really special to ship :-)
As one of my mates has suggested, I think that most videos haven't been posted here, so I'll post a video (one year old) that a fan recorded on one retro event in Barcelona

So much going on in the background! Makes me think of the space battles in Legend of Galactic Heroes.
Hi Zebbe;
Oh Mummy was pretty funny and looks fantastic nowadays :) and it was our first megadrive game. Tools have been improved, as our programation skills. Pretty soon we will have ready Mega Mindtris, that has an awesome tech ical level. Bugs are everywhere and in any project, but we are caring our game in a very sick way 😋.
Thanks a lot and all feedback is welcome.
Greetings to all
Our programmers are converting into reality a lot of crazy concepts that the graphist suggest! It was funny, on early stages their reply was :"Ey, this is not a Dreamcast".... But we don't listen that lately... We became a great team to work with!!
Thanks for feedback!
That giant battle between fleets in the background is ridiculously cool.
And its just Stage 1 :)
I forgot about that video, I'm excited anew. Keep up the good work on this!
Love the giant 'ALERT' graphic for the boss!
You guys should use little arrows of the same style to warn of enemies approaching from the rear.
Is there going to be a speed up system? The ship still seems a bit sluggish.
A little Twitter video with some new images from the game:

That clip reminds of me Megaman X8 with a elevator being connected all the way to the moon.
Looking good. Excitement level rising...

It seems to have a very intensive sprite engine.
Manveru has worked a lot on that engine in order to be able to move so many things at the same time!

This game looks ridiculously awesome.
Yeah the art style from it so far seems to have that awesome sci-fi 90s feel to it. Here's hoping it comes out fine in the gameplay and music department too.

This game looks cool, the whole art style is so well thought out. I just might have to buy it when it's released.
Wow! Thanks for sharing.Quote:

I'm glad to see that the developers are taking their time to deliver a polished product. The artist has clearly taken the time to add refined details to the main sprite. It's something that I've been longing to see in new homebrew games.
I look forward to seeing a few more animations featuring how the main sprite (character or ship) interacts with enemies and bosses. Thanks for posting the link to the Twitter image kusfo!
The sprite animation is very good, keep up the good work guys. I don't like 1985 Alternativo rush the game, but you already have some release window in mind?
Yep, looking nice. Lots of cool homebrew coming up, 2017 should be interesting...
Plot twist: Tectoy's lineup will consist mostly on homebrew *runs* (j/k but that could happen...)Quote:

Not really, as we have already spent some years on this game, and although the engine is quite polished, lots of things are still pending.....
Apart from that, today is Friday, so it's time for some #FridayAntarexNews !!

Holy hot damn, now I want this game.
I just watched this:
https://youtu.be/xRImytQrqGA
Hadn't seen this video yet for some reason. (EDIT: I might have seen it with the sound off) The music for the boss fight at 2:30 is amazing! Is that 100% actual MD?
Well, it has been recorded from a kega Fusion emulator, but it sounds amazing in the real machine :-)
You can see the real thing in the real machine in the video of the previous page:

That space ship is still too big. Make it 1/3rd smaller. Also the regular enemies need to take fewer hits.
/complaining since 2011
Awesome :)
And yeah, 100% what Retrospiel said.
We've already considered the option to do the ship smaller, but we won't take that decision until the final adjustments in playability. (we already have some mocks for a smaller ship, but for now the game is pretty enjoyable with the current size)
Thank you so much for considering it. I really do appreciate it. This game's potential is mind-blowing, and it seems you are on the right track - except for those two points.
Regular enemies should be very easy to kill, the enemy patterns/weapons strategy should be the basis for the difficulty. Having lower enemies with multiple hitpoints is almost forbidden by the unwritten law of classic video games. ;)
Rule #1 for shumup games: 1 shoot, 1 kill (for regular enemies)Quote:

I recommend taken a look at 16-bit shmups such as MUSHA, Thunder Force IV, Space Megaforce and Macross for the Super Famicom. For speed, they tend to make it a power up or straight up option on the controls.Quote:
