Beam Gleam

A (work in progress) shoot them up where you can't actually..shoot.

@STGshmups Is a logos→title screen→demo→high scores loop a good enough attract mode ?

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

@clemmygames A shmup where instead of shooting you reflect enemies’ lasers.

Implemented predictive waiting (low #inputlag v-sync). Can't really show it so here is a #120hz #screenshotsaturday (if twitter allows it). #madewithsdl #gamedev #indiedev #STG #shmup #danmaku #bullethell #wellactuallythedestructionpartisimportantbuethereisntahashtagforthat

Text rendering had expensive FBO switching. Now it’s only when populating the atlas. #opengl #graphicsprogramming #optimization

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

Hey we are not dead. Today I made the rendering a bit less inefficient (it doesn’t use an atlas, but now batches multiples textures). Now I have bugs to fix.

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

Fixed.

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

The #MadeWithSDL renderer is now fully functionnal. It's time to stop tinkering with OpenGL and resume making level design. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #STG #shmup #indiegames

It looks like Twitter couldn't handle the 120hz-style.

@shmupitalia Thanks!

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

It has been a long time since we showed nothing. I wanted to avoid this, but some problems made me switch from SFML to #MadeWithSDL. Don't try this at home. The transition is a few TODOs away from being completed. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #shmup

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

@romgamb Ça marche.😉

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

So save states are becoming mainstream now? Beam Gleam has it. (As with any other training feature, don't try to upload cheated scores using it, it doesn't work).

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

This year, euh, it's probably better to not give a release date. Perhaps we can join the club vapourware, but we are still headed to club Steam release.

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

Found some bullets tunneling. No, this game features optics, not quantum mechanics. #gamedev #bug

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

Mid-boss 4 have the right amount of hard. Mid-boss 3 may need slower bullets. Everything is too easy in beginner mode, but I have spent too much time on this game to objectively judge this.

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

Sometimes I need tools to test some things. And sometimes those tools end up to be good training features, and are included in the game. I wanted to compare mid-bosses difficulties. So now it is possible to start at the mid-boss fight in training mode.

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

@shin_1 Oh that's sad to read. I have read about video game bars copyright issues. Let's hope this problem is solved in the future. Thanks anyway !

@shin_1 Tonight is my last night in Japan. It would be very cool to see what Japanese gamers think of the game. Do you know if I could go to the game bar a button or some other place and let people play it freely?

[Beam Gleam @BeamGleamGame]

@shin_1 Thank you so much! I didn't expect that much interest!
