Hye there,
I have found a collaborator who actually posted the identical question so hopefully that works out,
I know there no money to be made on this and thats also not my goal. I made already a html/javascript shooter (marisa-danmaku.comule.com) but since thats really limiting in term of resources (and android is not?
.
I dont want to make a lot of characters as of now its 5 but combining the weapon types seemed like a fun idea, its probably gonna be tyrian with touhou characters.
As for controls, yes this really sucks on android but libgdx has the possiblity to use the gyro as a controller, I used to have these two games that have caused a serious addiction: rolling a ball thru a maze on the iPod nano (no Idea what was the name) and sony psp Mercury Madness. you can control the balls really precise using these controls and it might just be the awnser to playing these type of game on a mobile device.
Anyhow it all ports to html5 and desktop very easy so the keyboard can also be used if the android version is unplayable.
I am just obsessed with creating a cool danmaku game myself and danmakufu doesnt work under linux (yet). Besides I would like to make something that doesnt require additional programs.
The thing that bites me the most is that its probably impossible to put some decent music under it on mobile devices, it would be cool to use some remixes by fans since theres some great ones out there...
