There's no end to esreveR sprite threads...

Dang. I thought I would've gained more attention with that, but I guess no one has ever actually gotten that far. Yeah, it's Hibachi from DoDonPachi. The "true" final boss, only encountered at the end of the second loop. I suppose I can call my nationality Japan now...eh?

Anyway, someone on MSDB requested these. They're the actual fighters that appear in the Raiden Fighters series, in other words, they're not custom.




Boy, this was a lot of work. I also have the alternate palettes from Raiden Fighters Jet.

Thinking of making more custom designs though. Looking back at Fireblade, I don't like the idea of dual push-pull nacelles because the airflow is probably a bit screwed up by the time it gets to the rear prop, so I'm thinking about changing it to a sort of piston-based afterburner (In other words, it injects excess fuel into the exhaust gases like in a jet engine, only this is piston exhaust). Of course, with that in mind, I could change the configuration entirely, into something like Beast Arrow or Griffin. I just need to figure out whether the combined output is greater or less than a pusher.
