Shmup Creator on Steam- use to make DC games?

[sunnshine]

Sorry for the daft question but there's a new shmup creator due for release on Steam in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anything made on it could be ported to the DC?

I (clearly!) have no idea how stuff like this works.

Link to the program's Steam page (I have nothing at all to do with this, I just think it's a promising looking program and thought others might be interested too) -

I didn't mean can that program run on DC, I meant could anything made with it (it exports a game .exe file) be ported to run on the DC.

I don't see why not as long as you can extract the source code, port the game engine, convert it to something that can run on the DC using a SDK, with all the limitations that it brings, and resize probably all the assets.

Would be easier to build something from the ground up imo.

I do like the idea of a Shmup Maker for the console though…

There is a shmup maker game for SNES called Dezaemon. I guess you could use that to make a shmup, no programming skills required, and have it run on DC via a snes emulator.

This game maker engine for DC already has templates for Shmups, platformers and others.

If we are talking making them from scratch that is a good open engine to try making one from.

This is not open src it uses shaders etc not possible

Amiga has shoot em up construction kit which pretty much all these draw there idea from it's the og

titan engine has been used to make really good one..

anything using shaders and such with this min specs is not going to work on the dreamcast so again NO
