Rules for Creating a Golden Age 16 Bit Shmup!!

[@cobrakai9969]

I would never, EVER unsubscribe. I’ve been on the bithead1000 journey for a decade and to this day I’ve never appreciated a KZbin channel more. I don’t care what kind of content you create whether it’s music, history, fabrication, video games. Doesn’t matter. It’s been perfect. Please never stop.

[@BitHead1000]

Thanks brother!

[@remusracingro3884]

Not unsubscribing ever

[@TheGamerNerd025]

ME EITHER! NEVER UNSUBBING TO THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME PROGRAM IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION!

I will never unsubscribe to your channel. It’s my favourite show.

[@TheGamerNerd025]

"ahh, fuck OFF" Love laughing out loud not even one second into the video! WE LOVE BITHEAD1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fossil-bit8439]

Really enjoyed this episode Jesse! Nice change of pace!

[@Mattressinsptr]

Love the video. Shmups are top on my list for video games. Agree total with bullet hell shooters.

This is an amazing video one of your best man

[@BitHead1000]

I liked doing this one. Thanks brother

[@TeaBeeAdventures]

@@BitHead1000 Please keep doing what you like. The energy of you doing what you like transfers well to the viewer, you can feel it and in this case it made one hell of a video.

[@danonthefly]

Rock solid show from start to finish. Thanks man.

[@tomtodd6143]

Let's get him to 100k subs, come on folks!

[@mikedradio]

This video is up there with the pce/tg16 mini rant 💪 Japanese video game board meetings for generations to come will study this as a guideline to shoot em ups going forward. Let’s get Bithead to 100k!!! 🎉

[@frankszulakiewicz5826]

Great topic! Shooters forever, especially 16bit ones. Love this video, Jesse.

Best episode ever!

You perfectly articulated exactly how I feel about shooters

Holy fuck almost 100k!bit head 1000 king of KZbin 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Laserdreamz]

Yeaaaah man. People can tell me until they are blue in the face about how good Battle Gareggas system is but let's get real it's amazing because it feels like silk and looks and sounds a dream.

[@sjnardozzijr.7850]

Best show!!! Well done!!!! 16:32

[@ThePewLife]

I never unsubbed. But I check during the last video and I had to RESUBSCRIBE! Aggravating to say the least

[@mattbtv]

Holy SMOKE did you just give a masterclass on Shmups. How amazing would it be to combine the Street Fighter “World Tour” map with the rescue Earth theme. I wanna see an overwhelming amount of stages on the map. Hidden stages. Rest stages to recoup after a boss blowout. Then blast outta the atmosphere for the space levels. Simple play with variety and novelty. A recipe for success should anyone have the team to pull it off. Archive this on a gold hu-card and blast it into orbit for future generations to benefit!

[@billschlafly4107]

Who would unsub BitHead?

[@MrBacchus18]

A loser from loserville probably

[@VenjerSixx.]

Do more videos like this with your knowledge of games, you have an incredible insight that most newbies don't have --- what can make it better -- what else can Bithead1000!improve? Hmmmmm

[@retroshmuper]

Another great show, Team vertical here

[@duhmez]

This video is genius. ALl your ideas are correct.

Somebody PLEASE get Bithead1000 on your shooter game development team, then after completing the game, celebrate with Jack and cokes and cigarettes!!

[@BikerBenny]

Really fun analysis shooter episode Jess! Hey Jessie justs the jeal with the jajooes ?!

[@ChrisGhysel]

Totally agree on the bullethell part!... I don't like them that much either. Give me UN Squadron, or any of the SNES, MD, DC or Neo Geo shooters for that matter...

[@repomanzilla]

Let’s get bithead to over 100,000 subs and then to a million….and then….to master and ruler of the world. A world where budlight is a man’s drink again and the Olympics is about sport.

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

Ooh, something new? I'm in!

[@GASHPAN]

Best intro line ever. And NOT unsubscribing, so "ahh f*ck off!". You didn't speak about speed-ups. Like when you die and your speed can be reduced back down to unplayable when coming up to a boss (Gradius/Parodius, I'm looking at you), etc. Or when the game throws too many at ya and it gets utterly rediculous.

[@BitHead1000]

I like selectable speed

[@NJDrew]

Best show ever we don’t need these losers who want to unsubscribe hit the road!

[@genesisfan029]

Doing it big timeeeeee!

[@davidmcfadden1763]

Do not listen to them dude! The LOOM ASMR was awesome. I was looking forward to the next game.

[@cheoart6308]

I think I would watch you watching someone watching paint dry… ain’t unsubscribing. 🍻

[@doctordogtoffee3832]

Turns out there's an Amiga A500 shooter called Hemroids,definitely needs a review.

[@wilsvgaddiction4456]

I have always been truly terrible at shooters. I've amassed a dream collection of 8/16/32 bit shooters over the last 7 or so years. I hope I actually have time to play through them before I die.

[@zajicapp]

There are 2 brand new shooters on the way for Genesis/Mega Drive that would meet most of your criteria, ZPF and Earthion. Check em out if you haven't already.

[@VenjerSixx.]

Hey Jessie! Could you do these rules for making this type of game for other genres? Like role playing games I love old school RPGs vs new school or platformers

[@VenjerSixx.]

Did this could be a whole new series rules for Playing this type of game or that type of game especially if you like this that much

[@VenjerSixx.]

I've been researching how to get your drinking and driving bar idea off the water -- I have been pondering that ever since you said it -- here in Texas there are plenty of idiots here that would eat that shit up

[@Chris_Lastname]

Agreed. Could have one hell of a shooter, with all those attributes. You put drag strip balloons on the back of the stang, haha, madman

[@Cavetreasure]

I can't remember if you already had Andro Dunos 2 but that was so close to a modern-retro shooter. I couldn't agree more about long, drawn out story before hitting the start button. Nothing like pushing the power button and the title screen appears.

[@BitHead1000]

Yes. Played Andro Dunos 2.

[@Cavetreasure]

@@BitHead1000 Awesome! I guess besides that we've got a future legit Sega Genesis shooter by Yuzo Koshiro called Earthion and looks very similar to Gley Lancer.

One shmup powreup system needs fixing. Remebr twin cobra? U start with red. if u pick up red, u now have lvl 2 red. But if u pick up BLUE, u have lvl 1 blue. you must saxcrifice a power lvl to change weapons. This is stupid. Bunch of shooter do it this way, pick up same to power up, pick up different to swap, but they make u effectivelyt be one lvl lower.

[@BitHead1000]

Does Raiden punish like that?

[@duhmez]

@@BitHead1000 I trried to remember if Raiden punishes htis way, or if it just has color swaps separate from the POWER UP icon? not sure, I forget. Asa big lover of Twin Cobra, it always pissed me off becuase I would want earlyu laser beam, green, but if u grab bluie right away u r major nerfed

[@andrewdingus6362]

I truly think you’d love Insector X for Sega. The music is an aural Jack and Coke. I’ve never played the arcade or Famicom version, but they’re all totally different from one another and look sick as heck

Bithead, do you prefer verti's or hori's? I've always been a hori fan myself.

On a normal day, I go vertical. Every once in a while I'll go horizontal if I feel like getting spicy. Salamander doesn't mess around; you get the best of both worlds with that fantastic crunchy soundtrack.
