SHMUP - Troubleshooting

it's time for a quick update!

i recently got a new portable PC (which will be great for getting shit done on the move), and discovered a weird resolution bug on SHMUP.

for whatever reason, if your PCs "scale and layout" settings are set to 125% (like mine were), the game appears zoomed in, and as a result is almost completely unplayable.

HOWEVER!!

change the settings to 100% and voila! the game will appear as intended, no zoom, no bullshit. i know it's a bitch to change the resolution of your entire screen every time you want to play, but i'm working on fixing this issue permanently and autiomatically. all projects currently in the works will abide by this as well.

as a very late apology for this annoying bug, i'll provide you with a gif from one of my upcoming games:

SHMUP IS OUT!!

 


no, you're not hallucinating. i actually managed to release a game, and a playable one at that!

SHMUP (or as i like to call it; SERPENT ATTACK - ALL SNAKES MUST DIE!!) is out now!

sure, it's not totally finished (i'm still planning to add things like more enemies, better progression, etc...) but it's definitely playable and actually kind of fun.

you can download it here:

and yes, this is the reason i didn't do SFU last sunday. i've been planning to release SFU:s further apart, as it's been kind of stressful to manage life and game development at the same time. (who knew responsibilities would be such a pain in the ass?)

from this point forward, most SFU:s will be posted every other sunday rather than every week. not only will it be easier to manage for me, but also contain more juicy info on upcoming games. so yeah, look forward to that!

as for now, i'll focus on making small games as quick as possible. i have many ideas, and alot of them should be doable in a short amount of time.

hope you enjoy the game!
