New big update from Xydonia KS page! A crossover with STARR MAZER !
Link here!
"TRANSMISSION: ANOMALY DETECTED, A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION!
NOT JUST ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL
Team X-BURST is always busy doing their pirate stuff while following their main mission: getting their hands on planet Xydonia's coordinates.
But something's amiss... a ship that's nowhere to be found in their database just flew right in front of them, without even giving a signal!
Harrison Blade, being particularly susceptible to flight rules violators (he was in the army after all!), quickly breaks formation and engages in pursuit of the unidentified vessel, while hacking into its radio frequency and giving its pilot a not-so-friendly greeting.
The unknown pilot quickly responds.
"Hey man, gimme a break! I just got spit out of a wormhole!"
And then goes on explaining what brought him to this part of the universe and why. He goes by the name of Brick M. Stonewood, and is determined to unlock the secrets of his past. Could planet Xydonia hold the key?
There's only one way to find out...
XYDONIA X STARR MAZER CROSSOVER! YAY!
We're happy to announce that Brick, Starr Mazer's protagonist, will be part of XYDONIA's playable character roster along with his ship, the Starr Wolf[!/B]
He'll get his own custom gameplay mechanics, option system, story and ending, like any other character in the game!
This also means that Starr Mazer will get some funky XYDONIA stuff going on! Stay tuned for more info and make sure you check them out too!

New Drifting Lands preview is up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8FyPPKjPXw
Game runs at a 120fps... which is just amazing in a shoot'em up. Makes movement feel great.

Shmups.com's twitter posted about a new project from HEY (Mecha Ritz) and Furukawa (ex-Konami) are making a new shmup. Momoiro Under Ground.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zbboMyxi9U
It's a Horizontal Shmup and it looks damn amazing. It looks to be in some kind of Kickstarter type phase. https://www.makuake.com/project/momoiro/
The game looks really far along.

Valkyrius Prime is headed to STEAM August 1st. The original version was already a wonderful experience. This comes with new art for characters, more graphics, and better level design. This game has AMAZING music as well.

The game is similar to Strania / Einhander, but it has a teleportation mechanic... I also thought it was more fun than Strania as well.

I played the alpha and really liked it! I was about to back at the physical copy level until I saw the shipping costs. $65 to send a $100 jewel case? No thanks.
Only 21 hours to the end of the campaign and it's close to the OS X/Linux port!
And a new update (last, I suppose) from KS page:
"RUKA'S SCRAPYARD ~ SHOP 'TILL YOU DROP
THE CLOCK'S TICKING!
We just entered the last 24 hours of this campaign, but we still have something new for you!
Remember that there's still time to hit those stretch goals, with the Mac/Linux port really close!
GOT SOME RARE THINGS ON SALE, STRANGER!
The good ol' habit of utterly destroying huge, mechanical battleships and then grabbing whatever's still salvageable wouldn't be the same if you couldn't spend it all!
Welcome to Ruka's scrapyard, where you can exchange the scrap you collected from defeated bosses for various equipment and ship modifications!
She's an old acquaintance of team X-BURST who helped them build and upgrade their ships over the course of their career.
But nothing is free, even for old friends, so don't you dare to show your face around her workshop if you're broke!
XYDONIA will always keep a challenging and rewarding gameplay without encouraging grinding or giving too much advantage via unlockable stuff, so everything will be balanced to represent an alternative instead of a simple upgrade over the starting weapons.
If you're a bad enough dude, you'll be able to get the highest score even with the default weaponry, but you might also find some that work better for you!"
Finally, one last artwork from Davide Cilloni!

I'm in love with Mecha Ritz
Nice setup. I'm infatuated with Mecha Ritz atm too. It's been awhile since I liked a shmup OST so much... must sound nice on the krk rokits!

Nice set up. Can't wait to finally move in to my house so I can have my own space.

Would have loved to fund. Gameplay and style look damn amazing. Color palette reminds me of Irem.

Okay, so, this is a personal and somewhat complex web of nonsense involving a highly unstable individual I was friends and briefly FWBs with, but I can only assume there will be a never-ending clusterfuck on gaf now until the end of time, which inevitably involves you guys and gals on the mod team in some way, so I'm an open book here. The woman in question ended up being completely psychotic and held a grudge against me after a bizarre love triangle situation developed a few years ago between me, her, and another girl (the other girl I ended up in a long-term relationship with shortly thereafter). This NOLA story she apparently just put up on social media is a delusion of a deeply disturbed person who had a total psychological breakdown as a result of me and the other girl getting together, because she (phew, yeah...) became obsessively infatuated with the other girl (she's bi) on sight when the three of us met up. I wanted to just stay friends with the girl making the accusation and made it super super clear ahead of time that me and the other girl were interested in each other romantically and that could play out as such when we met up. Supposedly this was not a problem for her from accusation, but in reality she uhhh wanted me to die painfully after seeing me and the other girl interact. Plus she became infatuated with the other girl simultaneously to this (she's bi), which created the aforementioned bizarre love triangle that ended up causing her to implode and have an apparently very intense and long-lasting grudge. The whole story about how that love triangle thing played out is, frankly, nuts and scary, and involves this girl bringing us to a compound of dangerous scientology spinoff cultists on that same trip, who roofied us, attempted to recruit/scam me and attempted to abduct/rape the girl I ended up dating, in what was a fucking scary situation that resulted in me and the other girl and the rest of my friend circle never speaking to this girl from the accusation again.

That's why I always go EMS. The premium beats waiting forever imo.

As someone who is quite new to shmups, is there anything here you would consider essential?

I've only really put a decent amount of time into Gradius V and Crimzon Clover, both of which I enjoyed

Crimzon Clover is on sale and went unmentioned, I think it's one of the best shooters on Steam.
Edit: I should read the originally quoted post. Votes for Steredenn and RefRain here.

I just picked up Dariusburst Chronicles on sale. The actual gameplay is really fun, and it seems like there is tons of content, but man that menu system is confusing as hell. I'll need to go over the OT at some point.
This might not be true for every user but the final patch they put out for that game added a ton of graphical glitches that ruin the game and I don't think it'll ever be fixed.
There's a PS4 version with exclusive content called Jamestown Plus and it's fine, as far as know, but the PC version has been abandoned.

Can anyone recommend any non bullet hell shooters from the shoot 'em up sale? I'm not a fan of those and prefer vertical shooters like the Raiden franchise. Games similar to Satazius are awesome as well, as I really liked that one.

Whoa whoa whoa ...hold the phone. Chrono burst? Is that thing finally coming out? Its been YEARS! I loved Chrono Blast and Burst has always blown it out of the water in footage. Is there a launch date now?

Strania fits your description, although it's not part of the sale.
