Masahiro Sakurai discusses the essence of shmups in his latest dev video
Sakurai shoots his shot
Masahiro Sakurai is back with another game development video, and this one fits into the ‘Game Essence’ category.
According to Sakurai, the game essence in old-school 2D shoot ‘em ups should be pretty easy to understand. That said, Sakurai wants to take a look at their “push and pull” mechanics to find out.
Sakurai has spoken a few times in the past about his appreciation for the shmup genre, which makes it even nicer to see him taking a deep dive in this latest video.
