WELL, any trepidation I had about the redesigned ship has been completely obliterated! This thing looks incredible in place. Jesus.





Freakin good job skycurser dudes! This sprite work is really looking top notch, and the slightly smaller size really improves the look of the game, so good job everyone who asked for that. I can feel myself forgetting the original sprite already haha.

Also, can't wait to see this with some gore sprites layered in:



I definitely hope you can kill one of the hands at a time, then the other one gets driven into a rage and becomes way more powerful.

It'd be a cool dynamic to try and keep both alive as long as possible and attack them evenly, so you could then kill them simultaneously before one has a chance to go berserk on you.

Thanks Jonmkl for the share! We've been working really hard on the game lately. My hope is to create a cool update package to share with the Neo Geo community soon.

However, in the meantime there's another chance to play the game if you're in the Midwest area. We are hosting another location test on October 17th, at Union Jack Pub, 924 BroadRipple Ave, Indianapolis, Indiana 46220. Here's a link to the Facebook event page we recently created:

We would love to see some members of the forum there. If you can make it, I promise I make sure you get lots of cool SKYCURSER swag!

Will you guys be coming back to Midwest Gaming Classic this year?

Got back from the ghost a little while ago. I spent a good 90 minutes with it.

The game is good. Seriously good. Graphically its very pretty, the controls are there, the sound is great, and the 3 weapon charge dynamic is a nice change of pace. It's challenging without being frustratingly hard. Everything is doable, but it wont get done on the first try.

I really enjoyed this title. Plus they gave me a rad 'die like a hero' skycurser shirt that will make my rotation.

 

[demirichris]

Thanks for the kind words dude! It was a fantastic night.

Really looking forward to adding more content and getting feedback from players!

Don't know if it's ok to post here, but I had a chance to talk with Demichris about skycurser at CAX a week ago:

Nice interview LV.

I'm curious to see the final result, a lot of good hype around it
