Here's something a bit silly and over-the-top I just created for the TG16/PCE shmup, Xymati, we are busy working on. It's a mockup of the large carrier launch ship for the very beginning of the game. This sprite is mirrored, and the light source is coming from the top/front (similar to the DoDonPachi entries that were made a while back). Seasoned shmup fans will recognize obvious influences like Seibu Kaihatsu, Cave, and even Hudson Soft. And no, there's no other good reason the runways are tilted other than I wanted to try something different.  |
