that's what you get for deploying in a Zig

one time a bajillion years ago the big urban station from Miami was playing a live feed from Da Club and they played the Laziest Men On Mars' AYB

I had a generic mecha in mind for the post but I love the opening to zero wing. It doesn't waste any time with useless exposition. Just "they set up us the bomb".
"Launch every zig" "For great justice". Everything you need to know in the story in terrible engrish. I love it.

If I knew more mech series I'd be up for it I imagine. Honestly I'd like to make a game in a similar vein to advance wars. Something that had a style like front mission but a more simple and approachable gameplay style that advance wars had.

I'm considering making something using RPG maker since they have some "TBS" templates. I could do some art for it maybe as well as the writing. I'd need someone good at math to help me balance out damage ratios and coding and such.

I'd give out multiplayer and map editor for free so people could play against bots/their friends to test out game balance. People who bought the game would get a campaign editor along with a campaign and access to future content packages. I'd probably release optional unit DLC down the line and such. Something like that.

Listen to my song and try NOT to imagine latching into a catapult sled and prepping for immediate launch on your first real mission.

a bit slow to start. Nice chord progression. It'd make decent launch or show opener music.

>>5976
too kawaii ne desu. I don't know how long you're going to last in the battle but I know you're going to end up on the alien ship getting tencacle raped afterwards.

>>5982
Not too bad. Hair metal man myself. I don't know if it's launch material. Maybe an opening theme to your show but I don't know about a launch theme

Its a Shmup. You fly around and shoot everything while pretending you're the "newtype" kind of guy.

Download the rom and decide for yourself.

I've always thought "The Winner" is perfect launch music.

The first few notes are running to your ship, the guitar is your systems powering up and then those long wailing notes are catapulting out and then boosting off.

Probably the first one though. I like the idea of going out to something lively.
