骨折してもゲームは作り続けてますよ🤪

I’m testing an updated ROM of our new shmup with the new song “yzs002” installed, using a real MD. I think I'll reject this song and put it on the unused list later as I could make a better one. pic.twitter.com/iJe3pnBYGk

Some old arcade games had a demo mode while not being played, and I really loved the atmosphere where various sound effects coming from cabinets reverberated throughout an arcade hall. Hope this video reminds you of that.

The development team discussed today and bounced stage ideas off each other. We are thinking about 8 various stages including the alien-ish stage already shown in the video. I was getting excited to see the plot and envision the world.

Yuzo Koshiro @yuzokoshiro

I'm thinking about the music style of this stage, and it was going to be like old Konami or Sega or Namco, but I've been changing my mind a little as seeing the video...

have a lot of fun creating sound effects getting inspired by the stuff I loved in the era.😊

You miss the days of stacking coins on top of an arcade cabinet and getting hooked on shmups? Here's the latest video of a brand-new shmup for MD/Gen that Ancient is developing in 2023. pic.twitter.com/eoieGWA2XI

We have about 10,000 likes total for both Japanese and English tweets and that gives the dev team much delight and nervousness in a good way. We want to live up to your expectations. Thank you so much!

Some people might expect I'm going to make EDM/Dance style music on this, but I definitely will not. There wasn't like the genre in the era, and I don't think it matches this game.

Yuzo Koshiro @yuzokoshiro

I want to make the difficulty level manageable. Aside from whether or not it's the level shmups lovers prefer, I'll make it so everyone playing the game can clear all the stages in easy mode. So that will probably be able to access the music player...

Yuzo Koshiro @yuzokoshiro

There are so many reactions about the game that have been posted constantly since we announced it. That means people worldwide are interested in it, and I'm also amazed MD and its games still have such influences. I really appreciate that.

Yuzo Koshiro @yuzokoshiro

Our main programmer implies nervousness as this game probably gets the most people’s attention in his career and is expected even during the development.

社長のツイート伸びてるなぁ…。こんなに期待されてゲームを作るのも初めてかも。ドキドキですね。

Yuzo Koshiro @yuzokoshiro

I don't think I've ever seen this many replies in both English and Japanese simultaneously on my tweet and go viral. I see so many people have been waiting for the new MD/Gen games made by the creators who ever worked on the platform when it was thriving.

Yuzo Koshiro @yuzokoshiro

I'm thinking about which beat is the best for the first stage BGM to go 6/8(typical Konami beat) or 4/4(general)... or odd (cool but unsuitable.)

Yuzo Koshiro @yuzokoshiro

It looks like an old shoot 'em up but is a new game we're developing, harkening back to famous franchises in the 80s. We will release it for MD/Genesis. I'm making the soundtrack and have been back also as a game designer since Beyond Oasis. pic.twitter.com/nFPEDoYj1B
