Can't believe it took me this long to figure it out. Massive bullet visibility boost by simply having the entire bullet (and glow) sit on black instead of transparent. Better contrast against the bg.

Clearing shmups does require you to clear your head of all the bullsh*t

Interesting feeling route. Gotta do this little dance on the edge of a knife. The midboss will timeout and if you don't get enough dmg you won't kill it otherwise.
Easier to dodge going to the far edge but you won't dmg it there.

First section of level 4 in #Eschatos can suck it. Seriously most troublesome part of the game I've encountered. Very route heavy.
Also, uploaded a new video about my experiences with Eschatos. Made it to Level 6 (starting with 2 extends at level 4)

Adding some randomized shots on top of a predicable pattern is a good way to spice it up. It's delicate though...

fiGames / Stellar Fury @figames.bsky.social · 27d

These might be patterns sufficiently scary for the level 4a secret boss.

Added section indicators (both popup and in the side panel hud). Should make it easier if you want to jump over to practice a section (and actually know what section you want to practice). My time with Eschatos reminded me that I wanted to do this.

But the frothing demand for this new "tea" increases and now when tea lovers talk about tea, everyone just pictures a grubby cup of coffee.

fiGames / Stellar Fury @figames.bsky.social · Sep 7

I'm going to go start a new tea house that offers this new elevated and revolutionized tea with the bean from the coffea plant.". These tea lovers give is new "tea" a sample and say "wait, isn't this just a grubby cup of coffee?"

fiGames / Stellar Fury @figames.bsky.social · Sep 7

Tea lovers exclaim, "Hey! That's tea at all!" and ask "There are lots of fine tea here to sample would you like to try some?" and this person says "No thanks, I don't like flavor or experience that those teas provide.

fiGames / Stellar Fury @figames.bsky.social · Sep 7

Everything is fine in the world of tea lovers until one day someone enters the tea house and says that they are going to make a new, better tea from the bean of the coffea plant.

fiGames / Stellar Fury @figames.bsky.social · Sep 7

Some people really like tea. There are tea houses they can go to to sample different flavors and varieties of tea. People have their own tools for preparing and consuming tea. Brewing tea has a particular process and everyone has their own techniques.

Yeah I saw this- trying to normalize eggs costing $10+ a dozen...

Do you think it's pronounced "draw-eye-nus"? the "I" in the logo is prominent

A lot of games now aren't really games- they are engineered dopamine trigger schedules.

Experiences you end up resenting because it strings you along and keeps you playing but hard to determine if it was actually rewarding or fulfilling.
