I had not heard of this game before, and I will happily purchase one after it has been released.
As others have mentioned, while I do really enjoy shoot-'em-ups a lot, some more varied genre homebrew releases would be well appreciated. Whatever happened to that platformer - Jungle Bros. anyway? :
Fear not true Obeyer! Jungle Bros. is still coming. I did lose one entire song I was working on, & got discouraged, so I've been working on remaking Mega Man 1's ost for Bonknuts cd version. That shouldn't take me too long(relatively speaking ofcoarse) as I have all the robot master songs established(just need to fluff them out), & have all the Dr Wily level & boss tunes done(including an extra one for Wily himself) & am currently working on the Epilogue/Ending. From there, I'll head back to the beginning of the game, finish up the selection screen, & robot masters.
There's only 4 or 5 songs left for me to do for JB, so, in theory, it shouldn't take long, I just needed a break after the anger that consumed me when the track I was working on was erased!
As for Hypernova Blast, I was thinking. Now that we've finished beta testing, I wonder what are the chances the gfx will be replaced with updated gfx? I would think that could cause all sorts of problems & require more testing?
