https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/45245741/f87e1fcc723e9cfa2c6a3c53321117bd9f1388fd.png Imamura's adventure "Omega 6" manga is available in English for the first time! Based on the upcoming pixel-art adventure game Omega 6 The Triangle Stars, Dark Horse Comics presents Takaya Imamura's (Star Fox, F-Zero) Omega 6, a complete story in one manga volume. This will be available for English readers in October 2025. Translated by award-winning manga translator Zack Davisson (H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour out of Space, Cat + Gamer), the 16-bit video game revolution is coming to comics! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/45245741/aa95a3775e78c5ac1974420331ea14a48edb80d2.jpg Creator Takaya Imamura had this to say about bringing the original manga to English readers in conjunction with the game. "I sincerely hope that my manga and games can be enjoyed by people regardless of where they live, and it would make me very happy if my work delivers an exciting and thrilling experience!" In Omega 6: After awakening from a rejuvenating months-long stasis, androids Thunder and Kyla are ready to spring back into bounty-hunting action! With the aid of some peculiar magic fruits, the pair enter a nearly invincible berserker state. However, there's a catch—once the effect wears off, they will age rapidly and become feeble until they can return to their recovery pods. Their current target, an assassin named Petrogaze, carries an appealing $300 million credit bounty on his head. The job seems easy: the duo plans to power up, bag the bad guy, and be home before dinner. But Petrogaze is much tougher than anticipated! Forced to consume their fruits early, the bounty hunters are suddenly on a life-or-death timer. Dinner's gonna have to wait! "The videogame version is a totally different story,” confirms Junji Seki, Game Director and President of Happymeal. “Set in the same world as the Omega 6 comic, full of drama-infused encounters and battles with the 100 plus unique aliens created by Imamura-san. I hope you enjoy the adventures of Thunder and Kyla in the game as well as the comic; you may even discover characters making an appearance in both!" Omega 6 is an action-packed ride, with 216 pages (5.75" x 8.25") of retro-futuristic fun in a paperback left-to-right style. Lock in on your target when it arrives in bookstores and comic shops on October 21, 2025 for $14.99.

The Audio of Toaplan

andreassteam_community_announcements

963d ago

https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/43179534/6afa1964bd846a8ddf2af281bf909c5e84a6fd16.png The Toaplan games are known for their thrilling music that matches the intense shoot ‘em up gameplay. Taking off in Truxton and you immediately feel a level excitement as the music starts to play, it’s the start of an action-packed journey to furthest reaches of space. Or the dramatic straight into action upbeat tune of Hellfire. Add the sound effects of blazing shots and exploding bombs. It’s a soundscape that represents the best of the golden arcade era of pixelated shoot ‘em up games. At Bitwave we have worked to constantly improving the audio representation. Coder Carl Henrik Skårstedt has listened (no pun intended) to feedback and received input from Tatsujin, the owner of the Toaplan games and run by original Toaplan staff including Masahiro Yuge and Tatsuya Uemura that composed several of the songs in the game. To ensure proper emulation we listened to recorded arcade music and sound effects. It’s a challenge as the audio experience with an arcade cabinet can vary between cabinets with different speakers and resonance. The sound from earlier sound chips such as the PSG depends on the circuitry connecting it to the sound output signal making each game a little bit more unique and more challenging to get just right. Throughout several different patches we have worked on the audio: - Improved the sound to play at a consistent tempo. - Included support for a wider range of audio drivers. - Added audio filter: optional echo, reverb, low-pass and high-pass filters to allow players to customize to their best experience in emulating an arcade like sound. - Fixed technical bugs that meant minor improvements in the generated audio. In the latest update we’ve further adjusted the frequency based on feedback of the sound effects and the high pitch in games such as Slap Fight based on feedback. This is something that’ll also benefit future releases such as Tiger Heli, the first game created by Toaplan. We hope that this is satisfaction to your ears in the goal to deliver the arcade feeling home on your PC. We’re humble as it’s not an easy task to emulate and faithfully recreate the amazing Toaplan audio with the weight of heritage it carries. We appreciate specific feedback on how and where we can improve. Our goal remains to deliver an arcade experience with minimal input lag for the controller to get that split-second action decisions as you dodge bullets, while you enjoy the beautiful pixel art with or without a CRT filter and feel the beat of the stunning digitized music. We want to finish off by letting you know that the latest update also includes a fix for the capture video function. Previously we fixed the desync and in the new version we have turned off rewind when recording and replaying. At first the fix will be applied to Twin Cobra, Flying Shark, and Slap Fight. The fix will be rolled out to the other games in the future. Other fixes in addition to the already mentioned: ● Music tempo correction (Twin Cobra, and Flying Shark) ● Wide screen mode: Pick-ups centered instead of to the left side (Twin Cobra) ● Centered the cursor in the high score entry (Slap Fight)

Updating will help ensure a smoother and more stable gameplay experience. For Zero Wing, we spent months creating a reimagined version of the famous intro cutscene that spawned the world-class meme "All your base are belong to us." The original arcade version of Zero Wing never got an intro of its own. We are thrilled to offer you the famous intro as part of today's update. There are some differences from what you're used to, but don't worry. All the good stuff is still there. It's a great addition, along with the other updates. We hope you love it! We'll continue to add improvements, fixes, and features in the future, so please stay tuned for more! Full patch notes: Zero Wing
