Title: Holy carp. Mushihimesama on steam!
Post by: Ghaleon on November 08, 2015, 03:17:53 AM
Hopefully more cave games to come!

I hope they let me play with a keyboard instead of a gamepad because I'm much better with a keyboard... eeek.
I would have posted this in shmup thread #636436 or whatever it went up to but appears to have died out now.

What's buggy about it? It plays and looks so much better than the awful PS2 port.

Unless the problem of moving right because the direction sticks for a moment is a universal thing and not just my computer fucking up.

Port has a few bugs and isn't fully optimised for PC, no doubt, and I find it likes to crash if Steam overlay is enabled in-game.

Nevertheless, the existence of a port of some serviceable quality is a step in the right direction. Keyboard support also works well enough.

I read the thread on shmups forum for this-- apparently yes, there are a few bugs, but the folks who actually did the porting for this are members there and are taking the issues into account, so I don't doubt that they will be fixed in due time. Should have had a demo or something to catch the issues early, but I suppose.

After playing a bit more I do notice some framerate drop and stuttering, especially when playing fullscreen-- but I'm sure a lot of that is my laptop and with the mass amounts of whining on shmups forum, I hope is their first issue to fix.

Still way, way, way better than the PS2 port.

... see I just figured it was a joke about all the bugs. As in insects. That you fight. Maybe I was wrong?

Something, something, name of the game.

That was not lost on me. I took it directly because at that time I had heard about complaints about bugs but had not experienced them myself at that point. :v

note it'll give you  a steam key anyway, so yay.

oddly enough I still don't have it. i want it but I'm saving up all the doughses I have for black friday and hopscotch vancouver. I'm hoping to get a ps4 for black friday if it goes for 300 or less (canadian, tall order I know but I'm a deal-seeking pro =P )
