The path is linear and the same every time, allowing the player to learn the pattern of the game and eventually able to master it.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Dream Rider</span> will be very similar to many other "SHMUP"s in this way, while having it's own new ideas featuring a very "different" powerup system and scoring system. Look forward to more posts about the game!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/748576886674676652-3179602212999661559?l=dreamriderblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jetstorm4 - Designerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08644923892696748519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748576886674676652.post-86814997990776788612010-04-03T19:21:00.000-07:002010-04-03T19:23:46.202-07:00Welcome to the Dream Rider Development Blog!
