OCTOBER UPDATE

It’s been a long time since the last update!
We were very busy during the summer: work, holidays, personal life…
Progress has been steady but slow.

LAST FEATURES AND BUG FIXING:
We fixed a lot of bugs, created new ones (yeah, it’s a never-ending story…) and added the last features. There are now a lot more controls for custom special effects and explosions.
There is also a new feature allowing users to create a parallax scrolling with 5 planes in a few clicks.
We also added a lot of bullet patterns to help users learn and understand how to create their own:




We also added new weapons presets and a lot of Touhou-like bullet patterns. We hope it will help users understand how to create great patterns with the visual Weapon editor!




OPTIMIZATIONS:
The SHMUP Creator is now compiled in 64 bits and I also optimized a lot of things in the engine and the editor. Some parts of it, like translating objects, are a lot faster.

NEXT:
I still have 4 or 5 crashes to fix before the end of this year, and they are quite difficult ones… We also need to complete two new in-game tutorials as well as the music of the 2D example game.

You can –>> Wishlist the SHMUP Creator <<– on steam if you like!

See you!

This is an example of what the SHMUP Creator can do with 2D games.
There are a lot of things in this level: secrets, mid-bosses, several player weapons, as well as a lot of cinematic events, sound effects, multi-directional scrolling...

Everything is done in the editor, without any coding!

SHMUP Creator 3D example game!

Blade of Death is an example of what the SHMUP Creator can do in 3D.
This tribute to Under defeat shows real-time lighting and shadows, particles effects, and enemies and backgrounds using 3D assets.

Finally, we added a 3rd free asset pack to the SHMUP Creator: 2D geometry assets.
And we also added a new example game: Electro Loco, a small bullet hell level.

This is it:

The SHMUP Creator is out now!

Very emotional, clicking on the "Release your game" button on Steam.
The tool is not perfect, there are still some bugs to fix, people are asking a lot of things, some are happy, some less happy...

I hope people will start to make games, and also create a small shmup makers community.
this will be so great!

That's a great demo level, a real piece of Gradius, I'm very impressed by it. I wish this user could make a full game one day
