Schildmaid MX out on all current consoles and PC
@hitpstudio.bsky.social
We are Michiel and Hans and we make fresh new video games #Gamedev - Our #shmup Schildmaid MX is on Steam now and coming to consoles soon.
Some of you know, but we haven't made a public statement yet... The past few months we've been going at 50% strength as programmer Hans (pictured left) has been hospitalized with a brain tumor. Results from his treatment are positive and I hope beyond everything that my friend recovers - Michiel
Love that when Hans does something he does it right! Kudos to that man 🫡
How we made our #shmup #indiegame Schildmaid MX in #unity Find the link to the full video on our YT channel in the reply below 👇
I mentioned it as it was a perfect example for that part of the writing… a wonderful part of the genre’s evolution! Part of its history!
We made history! 😮 In the newly released book Arcade Adventures by @lostincult.co.uk, writer @spadgy.bsky.social graciously mentions our Schildmaid MX in an illustrious lineup of #indiegames that he thinks successfully build on the foundation of arcade #shmups to explore new directions.
oh hey, just realized it was 4 years ago that I went to Dudley's stage :v ﾐ 🥀
So you are saying @mkstayontarget.bsky.social was there, he was in contact of what my childhood was even though I never set foot in Netherlands? Cool. Snake It was awesome. Everything Ronald Pieket Weeserik made was awesome. Hype had a BIG influence on me as a shmup developer.
Our @mkstayontarget.bsky.social was invited to the Local Dutch Institute of Sound & Vision to talk about preservation of his game Schildmaid MX. And while he was there, he got a tour of the massive media vaults... and stumbled across the works of the Byte Busters!
Catching up on some magazines that arrived this week, love seeing pixels in print! Always enjoy @spadgy.bsky.social copy & an article about my favourite @hitpstudio.bsky.social Schildmaid MX? Yes please! Lovely evening reading, whilst the little ones enjoy a movie #print #indiegames #mags #shmup
Becoming the guy who thinks the best thing a game designer can do is to pick a shmup they like and learn to 1CC it. So much game design juice there, just marinade in that stuff
We have very talented and cool friends. Check this and Schildmaid MX out.

Wicked selection there! Personally, I fell in love with the Mayflash F500 & never looked elsewhere 😅 I’ve swapped out various levers & buttons, only got new art for one though. Favourite lever right now in LS-40 with sanwa buttons, my shmup go to stick 🕹️

We're in the upcoming doc "Press Start for Nostalgia" by Bruno Ramos, about the relationship and fascination of older gamers with the media of their youth. In this video we talk about the film, why Schildmaid MX is in it and about Bruno's profession as a colorist (EN subs). youtu.be/Hv0quKgd2Gs?...
