Shooter Maker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shooter Maker 95 is a computer program that allows users to create 2D shooting games. It does not allow users to create FPS(First Person Shooter) style games. It was also illegally translated from Japanese into English.
The games can be static screen (no scrolling), side scrolling (like R-Type), vertical scrolling (like Aero Fighters), or a combination of side and vertical scrolling (Diagonal scrolling). Each level in the game can be changed to whichever type of scrolling the designer prefers.
The program allows for up to four separate background layers, which can scroll independently of each other. It supports both .wav and .midi sound formats. There are options for an opening sequence, between level cut-scenes, and an ending sequence. Only 1 player mode is supported.
The difficulty of using this program is that not all of it is fully translated to English. Therefore, the user may not know what all of the functions, or "events" as they are called, do.
