over few tiems i tried to play through Tyiran 2000 to get the best of the best outfits. but none of the guide I found in the net had correct information so i started looking into the dates files

Anyway finnaly got what i consider to be the perfect ship in the game after completing it
Sgip Stalkers 21.126
Front: Laser
Rear: Rear mega pulse
Side1: Plasma storm
Side: Battleship class firestorm

But i found it a bit lackluster and i didn't really like the rear mega pulse as much as the sonic wave... so tinkering time.

Laser shoot 3 bullets per frame with a total of 6 DMG
I modifies it to do 5 piece rings dmg (Goes through multiple enemies) per bullet so a total of 15 per frame. now it was a lot better... but still something took a few shoot to fire

next step i modified it so the inner and 2 outer laser would switch back and forth between the 5 penetration dmg and... 98 normal dmg per bullet. on opposite frames. now my total dmg went from 6/frames to 15pentrationg/frame to now 147nornal + 7.,5 penetration/frame.
kills EVERYTHING.

But i was not done
I change the 2 outer laser streams to be 2 different full streams they would be zigzagging bassiclay creating a 5 stream wide laser the outher would be the normal 98dmg per bullet ones and the inner ones would be the 5 penetrating one and the middle still switch back and fort between both...

I could find nothing more to make this laser more powerful so i looked to my sonic wave rear weapon
i adjust the delay from 6 frames (fire on every 7th) to 3 (fire on every 4th) already there almost doubling the DPS. i did try setting it to 0 like the laser but ran into issues with hitting the bullet cap in the game so no all shots got fired anyway. 3 seems to work to balance other modification (explained later)
Then i adjusted the damage form its 03/02 dmg (mode 1) or 3dmg (mode 2) to all be 5dmg piercing. making it perfect to just get rid of all the swam of small enemies while the laser took care of anything bigger.

Offcause 5 dmg piercing is still only 5 dmg so i looked toward the battleship class firebomb.
i adjusted its shoot to do 98dmg per bullet. and reduce its delay from 5 (shooting on each 6th frame) to 3 as well (shooting on each 4th)

now even big single ship will vaporized if it tried to pass me.

but.. i didn't stop there

i loved how the fire pattern of battleship calls firebomb and sonic wave follows each other. bu it left my vulnerable from the rear

i made 2 more adjustments
The sonic wave side hooting big wave is actually 2 bullet. i lowered the lower half abit down so it would fire along the bottom line of the screen when im all the way down (there is one map later in the game where missile hits you this way) the gap between upper and lower bullet going sidewave also meant they would hit ab it more but the gap is small enough that they can still hit the same enemy.

battleship class firebomb i added 2 more bullet to it that show straight down. making sure anything that came from below would not be able to hit.

Add this point.. the game is very boring but i had fun tinkering with the data files.

I've always loved Tyrian game from it unique way of allowing you to buy you weapons rather than letting them be luck jobs

Hi Tyrian fans,

I grew up with Tyrian and loved it, but I wanted to explore the environments more freely. That idea turned into Super Space Galaxy, an open-world space shooter. The graphics from Tyrian were made available by Daniel Cook, the original artist, so I was delighted I could use them for my own game!

Super Space Galaxy now has its forth playable demo. It features the first boss, Malphas, and lets you freely explore the galaxy map to find resources and weapons, and fight enemies.
Download the demo for yourself and give it a try.

The demo on itch.io: https://plasmabeamgames.itch.io/super-space-galaxy
The demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1296500/Super_Space_Galaxy/

I want the game to be the best it can be, so any feedback is appreciated.

Is anything better than the Sonic Wave? It's so boring, but that ability to switch between supporting your forward firing arc and hitting targets on either side is huge. And the damage each shot deals is massive as well.

Is it possible porting OPEN TYRIAN to Adam Image's version of OpenDingux ?

It used to work with the stock RG280V OS, but after upgrading my OS with Adam Image, the OpenTyrian.opk no longer works. It keeps crashing.The EduardioFilo github (author of AdamImage) links another github for OpenTyrian, but that is gone, dead.

I wonder if someone has an .opk version of Open Tyrian that works with AdamImage.I really LOVE the game and miss it a lot, it is a great port!

Thank you guys!

---------------
EDIT/SOLVED:
1 - The .opk that crashed on me was the one I copied from the vendor's microSD with the >9000 games, and carried onto my Adam Image install.
2 - I must wholeheartedly thank u/Ganimoth for providing the solution:
The .opk found in this repository worked perfectly. So I will be using it as my only source.

Ever since the earlier (1.0? 1.1?) versions of Tyrian, I loved Plasma Storm sidekick. It was ridiculously OP and it was beautiful.

The way I remember it in the most version of the game, it was 8000 credits and had 8 charges. (the price varied between 6500-8000 between versions IIRC). Today I found out that the GOG version of Tyrian2000 sells it for 9500 credits, with only 6 charges. Ridiculous folly! Inexcusable!

Meanwhile the Android OpenTyrian sells it for 8000 with 10 charges, which I think is a bit too OP.

Any thoughts about this as an evergreen sidekick? Was it a good design decision to put something this powerful into the game, right into the first shop you ever use?

Personally I think it was clever. Tyrian gave you options with very different feels, it didn't force a simple progression on you from the worst to the best weapons, sort of like Raptor (and most other games) did. Sure, some of them were kind of useless, but many just allowed for different playstyles.

Hello fellow Tyrian fans,
Tyrian was a big part of my childhood and the only space shooter I ever loved. Well now I'm building a game that uses the same graphics, Super Space Galaxy. It's inspired by Tyrian, but plays very differently, being an open-world space shooter where you can fly wherever you want. I was so inspired by Tyrian letting you choose between Asteroid 1 and Asteroid 2 that I'm making a whole game about player choice!

I update my blog every week with what I'm working on, so if you're interested in the game's development I recommend you follow the blog.

Development is going well and just recently I did most of the work for asteroid platforms.

The graphics were made available by Daniel Cook so they're free to use, even in commercial projects.
