Give me a good bullet hell pattern idea.

ok

>>718810217 (OP)
the health bar shoots itself at you

There. Perfection.

>>718810992
That feels like a final fuck you attack from the boss that comes out of nowhere

>>718810217 (OP)
what if the game window resizes itself

>>718811193
NICE

One of the classes I considered taking had a assignment to make a simple bullet hell game as the final for the class. One idea that came up was snowflakes have very intricate patterns viewed under a microscope.

probably too easy, but could work for an early boss's non-spell

>>718813354
cool

>>718810217 (OP)
use a graphing calculator retard that's a better way to plan them out

>>718815350
>graphing calculator
what?

I just shoots a solid-walled maze at you, you have to find the right path through. For extra challenge, the paths could change partway through.

>>718816091
That would be hilarious. Has no one really done this yet?

>>718816229
No idea

Lines and shit. Also sprinkles of random bullets everywhere to make moving around annoying.

>>718817443
Another idea. Just an absolute explosion of bullets. Very fast expanding. Picrel is just one explosion. All bullets are created at the same time and place. Lots of very fast ones to dodge and react, and lots of slow ones that will accumulate and make the next explosions harder.

Bunch of chevrons moving around. Arrow depicts motion of chevron relative to their rotation.

Bunch of shapes and shit floating around at random directions and velocity. They collide and bounce with each other in a chaotic manner and loop through the border. Maybe they have an elasticity above 1 so it gets harder over time.

>>718810217 (OP)
I hope you can see the vision.

>>718820098
Wait this is misinterpretable as you being able to pass through the purple. For clarification, the purple also fucking kills you. I call it the fuck normal design card. You have to just feel around the waves and hope you don't ram into thei gigantic hitboxes.

>>718820224
Though, I guess it's probably cool without the purple killing you, too.
For the fuck normal design version where the purple kills you whenever you die the entire length of the bullets' hitboxes become visible for a split second so you can learn how large they are

The jokes write themselves

>>718821091
Dih...

>>718810217 (OP)
Big stars go down while slow moving blue bullets are released, when the big stars reach the bottom small purple ones will go up from below at high speed.

Bah

Retard

>>718824717
It literally says TOUHOU in the OP file name, retard. This was a stealth touhou thread
>>718810217 (OP)
Anyways this ones my idea: Two hands that try and clap on you from the right and left, and on impact with each other bullets go spraying about like a wind burst

>>718825013
Cool idea

>>718821107
theres unironically more undertale/deltarune fans ITT than touhou autists

>>718816091
Throw in a warp maze and it'd be perfect.

>>718826450
Great idea, here's my bullet idea!

>>718810217 (OP)
straight line down the middle, and a 50/50 chance a barrage of bullets you cannot dodge will appear either on the left or right

>>718820098
brother i can't read the purple label

>>718810217 (OP)
I call it the "fuck you"

Is there a shmup/STG/whatever that lets users make and share their own bullet patterns, scoring triggers, enemy types, stage compositions or complete sets of 5+1 stages? If not, why?

>>718810217 (OP)
>bullet hell
Why not bullet heaven? Come to my church and embrace Jesus.

>>718829803
Bullet heaven genre already exists, people call that vampire survivor clones

>>718810217 (OP)
Okay, get this, one REALLY BIG bullet.

>no swastika
>no happy merchant
Dead board.

>>718829080
there's touhou danmakufu, but it's not like mario maker, it's basically a scripting language

>>718810217 (OP)
3 whirlwind patterns. adjust bullet shape to taste

>>718830715
That's cool, but seems quite inaccessible. Something with visual tooling with an option for some markup/scripting would be nice. The gameplay format is so formulaic and deterministic that I'm surprised that there's hasn't been any later attempts at a proper "danmaku maker".

what engine should i use if i wanna make a shumup style game with story cutscenes? is unity a good choice?

>>718810992
Sounds like some Parodious tier bullshit

Took me a while to remember the name

It fires a Demoman charging at you

>>718836948
>AAAAAAAAAA
that reminds me of serious sam. imagine a boss shooting destructible projectiles at you that explode into large instakill shockwaves. it'd be absolutely diabolical

>ass boss

>*BLOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRTT BLRAAAAAAAAAAP*

>>718837817
wtf

>>718810217 (OP)
Boss fires bullets off-screen to the side, bullets come in a wave pattern from the side with gaps in-between, the pattern forces you to go up and down the screen to avoid them. After doing enough damage to the boss, do a screen clearing attack that forces the player to go to the bottom of the screen then do a similar pattern from the other side.
