Electric Underground Podcast

Today the podcast is graced by Frenetic, a co-founder of  STG Weekly, contributing member of the overall scene, shmup evangelist,  and awesome host of many shmup-meetups over the years.

We talk  about the start of STG Weekly, his history with the genre, the Cali  arcade scene, as well as some ideas for hustling shmups to a wider  audience. We also discuss my idea for a shmup meetup for next year:  Shmup Invasion 2020.

Today l get the chance to talk with the omega-level  homie, Plasmo, about Stunfest 2019! This year was killer as always and  we go over everything (at least that I could think of).

Featured  players this year were Maribel (playing lunatic Touhou Ten Desires),  Kiwi (playing parallel Blue Revolver), and Gus (playing 1.5 and 1.01  Futari Ultra). All the runs are highly recommended viewings.

A crazy huge episode. 

Topics Covered:

-EUP Discord Closed

-Greatest Shmups of All Time List

-Why community matters with guests Dingo and Shoryusatsu

Much  love for all the members of my discord, the whole thing was so much  fun! Also, my infinite apologies to Dingo and Shoryusatsu for their  episode getting caught in development hell.

It started as a joke on my discord, but the idea was too funny to resist :-)

Jaimers dropping some serious bars here.

Also, both Jaimers and I are FANS of touhou games, the title is just a play on words.

It's the shmup release I have been waiting all year for!  It's finally here! Ketsui DeathTiny! In this episode I get the  opportunity to talk with Iconoclast, an accomplished shmup player who  has been absolutely destroying DeathTiny, among other achievements I  don't want to spoil, about the new release and titular arrange mode.

I've  had a great time playing this game and talking about it, and I know you  are all in for an enjoyable listen :-D Yes, it's a pain importing the  game or downloading off the Japanese PSN, but it is definitely worth the  effort for any shmup fan.

Huge thanks to Iconoclast for coming on the episode!

On today's episode, I get the opportunity to interview  Adam Ferrando, the developer of Demon's Tilt, a pinball game with  serious shmup elements. I have had a great time talking to Adam about  his journey as an indie developer, the in-depth mechanics of Demon's  Tilt, as well trying out the beta. I strongly encourage my fellow shmup  players to check the game out when it releases!

Description from Publisher:

Demon’s  Tilt is a new retro-styled video pinball game that mixes video pinball  with shmup (or bullet hell) elements to create something totally new!  Some time ago, Demon’s Tilt creator Adam Ferrando showed an early  prototype of the game to frequent collaborator Ralph Barbagallo. Ralph  liked the demo so much he decided to help ship and publish the game  through his own development and publishing company, FLARB.

On today's episode, I am extremely excited to be able to  talk with the Zero Ranger Developers Ebbo and Eebrozgi. After following  this game's development on the forums and then playing the release this  year, I was immediately hooked and eager to get these guys on the  podcast. I truly feel this game is of the highest quality and give it my  sincerest personal recommendation.

In the interview, we cover the  games 10 year development history, it's evolving design and  inspirations, as well as its potential to bring more players into the  shmup community. I am personally a huge fan of this game and am certain  this episode is an awesome listen for shmup fans. Please recommend this  game to all your friends, even the non-shmup players.

On today's episode, Prometheus stops by the podcast to  drop some serious knowledge. We talk about the history behind Full  Extent of the Jam, his process of learning Dodonpachi, his philosophy of  learning efficiently, input methods, DDP vs. DOJ, Starcraft Brood War,  the state of Dodonpachi, and a bunch more.

I think I did a reasonably good job keeping my inner fanboy contained, huge thanks to Prometheus for coming on the podcast.
