Just bagged me an outpost on cab 14. New star system unlocked, go to it!
Chronicle mode is genius. I want to see more metagame elements like this in other games.
None are showing for me either. Seems odd that you wouldn't be able to see people's names, I'm guessing it's some server issue.

If I had the space. I'd get two projectors and setup the game that way. Tbh though. I am kinda fiending to build my own cabinet. But I'm awful at wood craftsmanship. I'd really like to take that on as a project once I finish college this year.
Here's a pic.. yeah I know you can see lots of IPS glow and dust. This really, really needs to be fixed. It recognizes the 3440x1440 resolution, but then jacks it up from there.
All right. Here are the results for the free copy of DARIUSBURST.
I'm only showing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
1st: Blu(e) - 12
2nd: Seraphis Cain - 11
3rd: Durante, Trailmix, InfiniteNine - 10
I'm going to keep my lists confidential, since I'll probably be doing something similar to this again for the next big release out there. This also lets people know how close they were with their lists this go around. With that said, my mind also changes with time and new releases.
Thanks to those who played.

Aww. Dang. I was so close. Knowing I lost by one point makes it that much worse, heh. Congrats Blu(e). Guess I'll still be waiting for that half-off sale in a year or so. =/

I was really curious about your list too.
But:
Man I got up off from my desk and did a little dance when I got the message. Now I wish I had a sick two monitor set up so I can play it in AC mode. Christmas might have to come a little sooner this year.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Based Rayge. The internet could use more people like yourself in our lives.
It was very generous of you to do that. I'd do something similar if the game wasn't so damn expensive in Canada..
But yeah. I'll be sticking with the dual monitor setup for now. Would anyone want to help me setup a dual projector project, next year?
Haven't gotten/tried it myself yet, but for any other curious Mac users out there, I saw zakk over on the Shmups forums saying it works in Wine.
Reminds me of when I was with the STGWeekly guys once when they were doing a 24 hour charity stream, I think around 5 PM-5PM. Around noon Softdrink was playing Eschatos and he just had a bunch of mistakes in a row with no reaction at all, he was like a zombie at that point. His eyes were open staring at the screen, hands were still playing the game, but no conscious brain activity goin on behind all that.
You can build a cab with projectors like Galaxian 3!
If you had given it to Durante the game would support 21:9 properly now.

Just went through the arcade mode - I can hardly say "beat" considering I fed credits and chose the easiest stages, but it was fun to play and cool to hear the soundtrack in context. There's so much I don't understand about the game though, so I'm going to have to find the manual and study it carefully. It's too bad there doesn't seem to be a way to attach manuals to Steam games.

i guess 32:9 on 21:9 would still be pretty heavily letterboxed.
oh well, i can just set up two identical monitors...

Wow, that's very disappointing. I just purchased a 21:9 monitor to replace my dying old one. Maybe I'll hold off on a purchase of DBCS until this is fixed.... :<
Yeah lol, making incredibly dumb mistakes or just having no drive = no way.

I had three working simultaneously during beta testing. As mentioned, only the arbitrarily assigned "player 1" has menu control, but every other controller, including the keyboard, can burst in once an AC game is started. The controllers must all be plugged in before starting the game.

Windowed mode works fine for the game on a 21:9 monitor, just fullscreen 21:9 is borked

So far I've cleared the easiest Original route in AC, but the difficulty leap to "Normal" (starting from B) feels HUGE. Probably because a course is only three stages so it ramps up quickly. I'm also having a hell of a time getting the laser clash timing down but I went back to stage A to practice and got a better sense of it.
Still haven't done the laser clash from the side thing though, seems weird.

I find taking a straight vertical run-up makes it much easier to nail the timing on step-in counters. They're definitely harder than head-on ones though.
And man, the Fixed Burst is so good. Being able to block a huge barrage of lasers and recharge your meter at the same time is dope.

Glad to see most people are enjoying this so far! Thanks for uploading the image of the 21:9 problem - making sure QA is aware of the error.
Was there an update recently that removed a framerate cap? The game operated at normal speed for me at 144hz gsync during the beta (internally capping at 60 I guess), but as of a day or so ago it actually runs at 144fps (game speed tied to framerate, so over 2x speed).
Each time I run it I can use the hilarious 386-era-ass turbo button on my monitor to step down to 60hz and the game will operate at normal speeds, so it's still playable for me personally, but some 60fps framerate cap option buried away in some INI would be cool.

So true. Any videos of this being done right?
Loving this game though. Just had some friends over and they were like whoa at the 2 screen pc setup.

Too much lol.

It looks like you can't mix-and-match XInput and DInput controllers. I tried some co-op at work, and my DInput SNK clickpad wouldn't register while an XBO controller was plugged in. A pair of XBO pads worked fine though.
Don't try to account for it. Hit that button the instant before the enemy beam fires and you'll get it.

Ive been mainly trying to cut in, get it about 1/2 the time now. Wish there was a mode just practice it over and over.
I found this PDF for the arcade game on another forum that does a great job of explaining the games systems. I didn't know about side corner counter burst for instance.

edit: never mind its in the op under another name.

Got myself another monitor. The time has come.
What's the best way to play? Joystick or controller? My options being:
Mayflash PC joystick
Sega Genesis joystick (lol I have a USB adapter. I use this for emulation mostly)
360 controller
PS4 controller
I guess I could get my PS3 controller working
Sega Saturn contoller (USB adapter)

It's very good. The arcade mode stuff is a bit too tiny, mostly the text, but it's still playable. The full-screen AC stuff looks great.
Only bad experience I've had is that in AC mode, the game has crashed on me 4 times while uploading my scores after beating an area. It loses the progress I made on that area when it happens too, which is BS. I hope they fix the issue.
Saturn Controller since I dont think the game support rumble, or I havent noticed it.

Managed to one-life clear the ADH route on my lunch hour today, so satisfying. I didn't think shmups were my thing, but this game has made a believer of me.
Ancient Barrage can be pretty nasty to begin with. These are the strats I've managed to come up with so far:
Can someone please tell me how to handle the Stage E boss in Original cuz this is pathetic.
Ancient Barrage can be pretty nasty to begin with. These are the strats I've managed to come up with so far:
- Use fixed burst to block anything you can't dodge. A diagonally-aimed fixed burst will save your ass in so many situations, so abuse the hell out of it.
- That's a particularly useful technique against its first and second patterns, the small orange lasers and wide yellow ones. Angle it right and the fixed burst's shot absorption will keep it charged up.
- When it starts strafing back and forth along the bottom of the screen, deploy a horizontal fixed burst to block its yellow lasers, switch sides, then stow it until the next salvo. This makes it a lot easier to focus on dodging the purple ones.
- Its first burst beam is hard to get a standard counter on because the angle is hard to judge, so go for the step-in if you're confident you can pull it off.
- Its second burst attack is much easier to standard counter if you miss the first.
- If you hit the first counter, you can use the second beam and the pattern that follows it to keep your meter charged and do a truckload of damage.
- If you miss one, direct your fixed burst into its beam to charge your meter and retaliate with a burst of your own when it's full. Make sure to keep an eye on it and top yourself off before it switches to the next phase.
- If you miss both, make sure you have enough meter to block the barrage of green blobs with your fixed burst.
- When it brings up the big shield thing that shoots a three-way beam, get close to it and stick to the bottom of the screen. Your burst can't penetrate it, so stop it and save the meter if you're still holding a counter.
That was it. Or, specifically, I didn't think to place a laser straight-horizontal right above him as he slides along the bottom to catch everything, as soon as I did that I handled him much better. Thanks!
