It could just be a matter of range (width) - it makes sense that to unleash a devastating group attack you have to be in a compromising position (huddled together), but it's perhaps not quite as strategic in that sense as YU was.

Noooo I want them to be annoyed that they're too far away from the bar and everyone has to redo their turn.
--- So I remembered that there's this Flash game called Steambirds which is a turn-based top-down fighter jet airfight simulator. Disclaimer: I wasn't thinking about that or anything like that for this turn-based game, but maybe seeing it made me more open to genre combinations. --- Python -> HTML? http://clouddbs.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-t...-days-with.html --- It occurs to me that turn-based input is harder to program than realtime. |

Hey I'm a computer programmer and have even made a shump framework before (it's not that good, but it's fun to look at). Want my help? And what language are we doing this in?

It's gonna be through the browser. I dislike plugins like Flash.

So, like Javascript? We still going for real time shmup? Also, I cast my vote for top-down (that's just me having played way too much Touhou).

I think Sturm really likes turn-based.
Side-scroll is easier because sprites. ~~~  :The Solitary Angel, Ledah: You are quiet and reserved though your love of solitude doesn't keep you from making contact with others. Not given to sharing aspects of your personal life and history, you value loyalty above all else and present a very sophisticated and cultured, if remote, front. <br><br><a title="Take this quiz at Quizilla" href="http://www.quizilla.com/redirect.php?statsid=57&url=http://quizilla.com/users/Stroud-chan/quizzes/Which%20Riviera%3A%20The%20Promised%20Land%20character%20are%20you%3F"> Which Riviera: The Promised Land character are you?</a><BR> <font size="-2">brought to you by <a title="Quiz, Horoscope, Flash Games, Poems - Quizilla!" href="http://www.quizilla.com/redirect.php?statsid=56&url=http://www.quizilla.com">Quizilla</a></font> |

Gridless is too hard. Optimal path is to curve around enemy bullets if possible, and you need a program to curve around for you for max distance. Too much to deal with for the player. How about a hexagonal grid, then?
A UFO (not to proportions). The hexagon is the hurtbox.  Yggdra on a UFO.  The hexagon outline can flash/glow to make it more obvious. Or the grid layout can be overlaid on top (maybe toggled). |
