People who are clever at math, I want to know how large the alien is at 13:36, it cannot be the size of the alien seen later because of a few issues, I understand the theory of the math, I just lack the chops to hash the numbers out, but that alien has to be at least the size of a small building given its distance. The scroll rate (speed) of the foreground and the size of the player who is roughly the size of the ally Astral measured against the scroll rate of the background would give us an approximate distance of how far the giant alien is and in knowing that we could triangulate how much bigger the giant alien is than the player. Figuring out the scroll rate of the background is probably the hardest part about this whole thing as that is the key to figuring out how far away it actually is. Math geniuses, take your shot, I want to know how huge that giant alien behind the glass is.

@@zazi77 It's very unfortunate, the Japanese mindset towards software preservation. I'm not speaking about you, I just mean it always seems to be such an uphill battle to get Japanese creators and collectors to take preservation seriously. It seems most of them would be okay with it all dying in obscurity. I understand creators can be sensitive about their old work and I understand that collectors like to feel like they are the only ones who own the games, but for the sake of history, software preservation must come first. I hope games like this one and Noah's Ark for PC can be saved from obscurity.

If you read the lore of R-Type, chopping people up and surgically fusing them into the cockpits is something that happened in most of the early games in the series, to the extent that I'm almost certain that the maker of this game was _inspired_ by old R-Type lore to go this route. It's just that in the R-Type games this stuff was only in the Japanese manuals and never actually shown on-screen.

*GET THIS⁉:* Akiragoya (All Ages, SFW) = Artesneit (R-18+, NSFW) _↓ This oldies translation, as seen on the description, is now outdated because of impossible to accurate but anyway I'll do the give a shot like this. ↓_ In the year 20XX, monsters came flying from beyond the universe and tried to invade the Earth. The monsters possessed other creatures, including humans, and controlled their actions, so Earth suffered great damage in a short period of time. Not only that, there were times when the armies of each country on Earth fought against each other by freely manipulating machines. The Earth Defense Force annihilated the enemy by dropping a terrible bomb on the devastated city. And, they decided to use weather weapons. The Earth was covered with thick clouds that prevented sunlight from reaching us, leading to an artificial ice age. Since the creatures on the ground have become incapable of activity due to the cold, the monster temporarily retreats to an orbital base. This invader was named "Astral". Although they are not very intelligent on their own, it turns out that they form a colony inside the base and exhibit high intelligence. Scientists have studied and experimented with captured Astral in a variety of ways. They discovered that individual Astral could be made to lose their loyalty to the pack through electromagnetic torture. Not only that, it was also possible to freely manipulate it with human thoughts. The Earth Defense Force has developed an unmanned space plane "Myrmeleon" equipped with a human brain computer. It was given a Nenwave link with Astral, equipped with fire for attack, and an unmanned space fighter was completed. However, the human-brain computer, which lacked the know-how of spaceflight and combat, did not produce much results, and the production of a manned space fighter began. Based on the Myrmeleon, the Ephemeroptera-type space fighter showed excellent performance and drove Astral from the ground. Then, the Earth Defense Force sends Ephemeroptera to the enemy base and carries out a strategy to exterminate the Astral Colony. However, when Ephemeroptera invaded the enemy base, communication was cut off, and all aircraft disappeared. The Earth Defense Force launches a new strategy to capture the enemy base. The old model Myrmeleon was modified and sent to the enemy base.

Yeah, AkiraGoya's early participation in a game production competition.AkiraGoya's confidence in his own work, but was told that the work could not be shortlisted, directly banned (generally speculated that the content of this game, whether it is plot and gameplay and R-TYPE is too similar to be judged as plagiarism, so it was withdrawn from the competition)... Anyway seems that the popularity of the Angel_at_Dusk (specially in CN players) has brought gamers' attention back to the artist.

I have read what I can about the lore of R-Type and all I can say a person would have to be psychotic to perceive Death Ephemera as being anywhere in the realm of plagiarism. First off Death Ephemera seems to borrow much more heavily thematically from the plot of the movie Independence Day, and then adds it's own very unique interpretation of side scroller shmup gameplay (seriously how many variations of a shmup can there be?) The only similarity is that both have biomechanical enemies and like I said somebody would have to be a psycho to claim that's infringing upon R-Type's trademark.

The plot of the game is more or less this (translation from japanese, so it's not very accurate): In 20 XX years, monsters flew from the far side of the universe and tried to invade the earth. Because monsters possessed other human beings and other creatures, the earth suffered great damage in a short period of time. Besides that, they were able to manipulate the machines freely, and the troops of each country of the Earth battled each other. So the Earth Defense Force destroyed enemies by dropping a tremendous bomb to a city that was devastatingly hit. The green light was given to use meteorological weapons. The earth was covered with thick clouds, sunlight did not reach it and artificial glacial period came. As the creatures on the ground can not act due to the cold, the monster retreats to the base on orbit. This invader was named Astral. Scientists conducted research and experiments on the captured astral in various ways. And they discovered that individual astral can loose loyalty to herd by electromagnetic torture. Besides that, it was possible to manipulate freely it with human thought. The Earth Defense Army developed an unmanned space plane "Myrmeleon" equipped with a human brain computer. It has a spirit link with Astral, with a fire for attack, so an unmanned space fighter was completed. But human brain computer without know-how of space flight and fighting did not get much battle results, so the production of manned space fighter aircraft was started. The Ephemeroptera type space fighter based on Myrmeleon demonstrated excellent performance and destroyed the astral from the ground. So the Earth Defense Force sends Ephemeroptera to the enemy base and carries out a strategy to annihilate the Astral group. However, as Ephemeroptera invades the enemy base, communication ceases, all the aircraft will stop firing. The Earth Defense Force launches a new strategy to capture the enemy base. The old model Myrmeleon was remodeled and sent to the enemy base.
