Espgaluda for PS2 came with this ad for Cave's mobile games. It's a fun artifact that I haven't seen online, so I just scanned it. I see flip phone versions of their shmups Progear, ESP Ra.De., Dangun Feveron, Guwange, etc... and is that an ESP Ra.De. pinball game???
I played this Steam demo today and really enjoyed it. Shmup fans should check it out
Steam Bullet Fest was just the warmup,✨STEAM NEXT FEST✨ is here! Never tried a bullet hell before? STORY MODE is your way in! Hundreds of players at conventions can attest, you've got this. Already a shmup veteran? Cursed difficulty is waiting😈 #steamnextfest #indiedev #bullethell #wardingwitches
I think this is the first time we've shown off this stage. The 7th planet you'll visit is... space
Here's a preview of the final stage in our bullet hell game (muted because we're still working on music) #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #shmup
Time-lapse of creating pixel art for a lava planet. Next step: animating it 😀 Art by @ronniebmemys.bsky.social for our game Prismidia #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame
Here's another clip of the game we're making, Prismidia. This is stage 4 on the hardest difficulty #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #shmup
Posted a clip on my other account
Hey, here's a quick clip to show that we're alive and still working on our game! It's going well, but game dev takes a long time and I suck at posting updates. I sometimes post on my other account, @fruitbatsalad.bsky.social #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #shmup
I've decided that spring starts today. I'm not waiting until March 20. Spring is a state of mind.
Got my third 1CC of the year - Progear (Japanese version)! I cleared the US version back in 2024, but I wanted to clear the slightly harder Japanese version. It's really not that different, but a 1CC is a 1CC youtu.be/i6tQu5j7gxs

Hey, it's #ScreenshotSaturday I haven't posted one of these in a while, but here's a sneak peek at stage 5 in our bullet hell game! #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #pixelart
This weekend we're celebrating 10 years since we adopted our little Binx! She's the boss of our household. A few months ago, she started developing neurological issues and isn't getting around as well. She's on meds, but mostly we're just keeping her happy and enjoying what time we have left 🐰
I haven't posted about Prismidia lately, so I just wanted to say it's going well. My day job has been busy, and this is going to be a long project for us. But we're making progress every week!
Nintendo acknowledging that Kid Icarus exists?! it's a Thanksgiving Miracle! Now remake Uprising with modern controls!
Here it is! Castlevania II: Enhanced Edition on the SNES! Huge shoutouts to Bizqwit for original NES hack, it make this game so much more polished and approachable. I'll drop some details in replies here; the hack is available here: mega.nz/folder/g5Jl1... or archive.org/details/cast...
Just posted a quick update to our alpha demo that should hopefully fix issues with certain controllers (especially PS4+PS5). See the demo Itch link pinned on my profile
We're excited to announce the first playable demo of Prismidia! Check out the trailer below and download the alpha demo on Itch! ▶️ Demo on Itch: chaindamagegames.itch.io/prismidia-sp... #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #ScreenshotSaturday
We'll be sharing a playable alpha demo of Prismidia this weekend! This first demo will be on Itch, but you can wishlist on Steam ▶️ Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3595820 #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #wishlistwednesday
Presenting Danmaku Unlimited 4 WYVER ULTRA, a classic shoot'em up inspired by legends past, in glorious 4K/120FPS. Wishlist now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3575710/Da… RT and spread the word :) #shmup #indiegame #SteamGames
Hey, it's #ScreenshotSaturday I haven't posted much lately, but we're making progress on our game! #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #bullethell
Excited to release version 1.0 of my SNES port of the NES game Life Force! A classic Konami Shoot-em-up, now with no sprite flicker, no slowdown, FIVE sick CD Quality soundtracks (courtesy of @goddamnbathead.bsky.social and Relikk), 8 palettes, difficulty selection, and optional lives adjustment!
We got to test our game on Steam Deck this weekend, and it works! There were a few minor issues, but now I know what to fix. ▶️ Steam link: store.steampowered.com/app/3595820 #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #bullethell

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Here's a preview of the stage 1 miniboss and the side panels we're working on. There will be a variety of info panels you can choose from #gamedev #indiegame #shmup
The last 4 games I played. One from the 80s, two from the 90s, and one from the 00s. Rayforce is definitely my favorite from this group!
Share the last four games you've played and expose your gaming habits! Doing this because the spread is great.
I've been checking out Gun Frontier, a pretty cool shmup for 1990. The Saturn port has an Easy difficulty, which made it a fun way to grab a casual 1CC youtu.be/ihGxqEa-3rs

We announced our game last week, and I just wanted to say thanks for all the love! 💙 Also, I promise this account won't be 100% self promotion. I'll share what we're working on, but also other geeky things I'm into. Our 2nd account, @chaindamagegames.bsky.social will just be for promoting the game
Here it is - the first trailer for our game! We're excited to finally show off what we've made so far. And we have a Steam page now! ▶️ Steam link: store.steampowered.com/app/3595820 #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames #shmup #ScreenshotSaturday
