Another video just posted on here last night. It's the same boss, except I'm using a ship called the Snakehead. It's piloted by the main character of the project and his sister.
Also here's some info for the shooter.
Ships-
Each ship has a different set of weapons suitable for most situations and a health bar that regenerates overtime. It goes down when the ship is hit by enemy projectiles and when it reaches zero, the ship is destroyed and a life is lost. They are classified as a primary weapon, two subweapons, and a special weapon. They also have different stats based on speed (SPD), rate of fire (RTF), resistance to bullets (DEF), and strength of shots (FPW).
For controls:
Z key: Primary weapon + Subweapon 1
X key: Primary weapon + Subweapon 2
Z + Y keys: Special (only available when a charge is ready. Get charges by attacking and destroying enemies)
C key: Call assistant (Center)
C + Z: Call assistant (Left)
C + Y: Call assistant (Right)
For a reminder, if two ships use their specials that the same time, they launch a Fusion Attack, an ability that combines the specials of both ships. It only works if the ships are different from one another.
Assistants-
Assistants are allies from other universes that help you along your journey. You unlock assistants by doing tasks (it can be from choosing a certain stage to killing certain eneimes or defeating a certain boss). You can use either three assistants as many times as you like, but you can only use one of them at a time. When an assistant is completely used, you have to wait for varied amount of time before another assistant can be used.
Assistants are chosen before the start of each stage except for the first one, where the assistants are already chosen. When you choose an assistant, you have to choose one of two different modes, Combat and Bomb. In Combat mode, the assistant will be on top of your ship and follow you while it fights and/or uses its abilities. The assistant will also have a health bar that acts in a similar way to the ships, but don't always regenerate overtime. Neverless, if the health bar reaches zero, the assistant dies. In Bomb mode, the assistant will release one powerful attack or ability, then disappear from the screen. I'll use Marisa Kirisame for an example of this. If the player chooses Marisa's Bomb mode, she will use a Master Spark before disappearing. If the player chooses her Combat mode, she'll fly on her broom, firing missiles and lasers with the player until she takes enough damage.
As I said from an earlier post, there would be ten Megacosmic nations in my project.
Here is a clear overview of each of the ten nations in my crossover project. They will be going in chronological order. Feel free to pick your favorite so far by the current information.
Union of Good- A monarch-like nation and one of the first. Used to control the majority of the Megacosmos, but is now made up of only 5 universes. Uses mostly supernatural forces and weapons stolen from COMTR in the war before colonization. Has the smallest, but most effective military force.
Coalition of Magical and Technological Republics (COMTR)- The second of the first two nations. They are highly developed and industrialized and use a major combination of magic and technology. Origin of several technologies such as nearly-limitless lifespan and "respawning".
Solarria a.k.a. SOLARR (Socialist Organizations, Leaders, and Armies for Races and Religions)- The largest nation. First controlled by a military junta, then transformed into a U.S/China government heavily based on social democracy. It controls the largest army of the "positive nations".
West Consortium- The second largest nation, but has the largest army. Used to be a much bigger nation known as the VICE (Villain's Individual Consortium of Evil) until it broke apart. Considered to be called "Villain's Haven".
East Consortium- A nation vice-versa of the West Consortium. Became independent after a major revolution within the universes. Military focuses on mobility and firepower.
Ultra Corporation- A dystopian corporate-controlled nation that broke away from the VICE. Was said to break away due to a war, but actually negotiated its way out. It is heavily industrialized and military focuses on mass production of everything. Controls many anime universes, mostly has western-animated ones.
Female Federation- An all-girl nation that broke away from the VICE. Became so when >~96% of the male population in the area died in its fight for independence. Uses bred armies of girls (mostly Bratz, Barbie, Polly, etc.) for their military controlled by natural-born girls.
Hunters' State- A lawless nation that barely became independent from the VICE. It is home to many criminals, bounty hunters, and mercenaries.
UNTOLS Zone- More of a contained territory. It is home to the life-consuming purple UNTOLS and has high concentrations of "cabmonyte". Refuges from these areas are found in COMTR, Female Federation, and Rights Coalition.
Rights Coalition- The latest formed nation. Rebelled against the Ultra Corporation due to its corporate tyrannies and took half of the territory. Still commonly at war with the Ultra Corporation, forming the Wall of Chaos, a barrier of disputed universes. Focuses on mobility and improvisation, but was also able make a few technological breakthroughs. Controls mostly anime universes.

also, is there any DL link?
I mean, if I'm thinking correctly, that the ships regenerate health overtime whenever they get hit.
And what do you mean by a DL Link?
DL link is download link
Um, not yet actually. It's not yet ready for people to play just yet.
Also, I may have said this earlier, but I have more than just shmups for this project. I'm currently working on other things for the project such as story lines and scripts for films, shows, and other games. Despair and Division is just part of it. Icould share what else I have if anyone wants me to.
Quick question, why do you have sprites of Reimu/Marisa riding on top of the fighters? Wouldn't it make sense to have them flying along side the fighters instead? since they kinda block the ship's hitbox from what I can see.
