Looks interesting, nice use of Blake Stone textures too!

I've always had a soft spot for Blake Stone.

New enemy:

The electro barrier will damage you if you fly through, but you only have to destroy one ship to disable it.

Added names to the comm windows:

Now if only I'd get around to actually adding names.

Because of changes I made for story mode, I was thinking of adding a new arcade mode. In story mode, bosses and waves start at their basic level, then gain more options as you progress. Would anyone want this game play for an arcade mode? I haven't bothered with it, because if I want that style I'll just replay story mode.

Additionally, what about adding random galaxy travel to arcade modes (wave - boss - galaxy travel - wave - boss - etc)? I'm personally adverse to it because I like the uninterrupted arcade gameplay.
Thinking out loud, spoiler'd for it's rambling.

Ideally, I'd add a custom options menu where such things could be permanently decided and written to the users INI, similar to KEYCONF behavior. Such a feature doesn't exist AFAIK, and I don't see anyone else using such a feature to suggest it. For story mode, I used the player's GENDER cvar. That only gave me three options though, and I'd like to have used four. As it is, MALE players get the male pilot & his preset cast, FEMALE players get the female pilot & her preset cast, and OTHER players currently get my preset cast. I'd like to have added options that let the player decide cast roles (the existing preset choices, plus a randomized one), with GENDER only deciding the player. Chibi Rebellion's options method would be too inconvenient (having to set them every time you play a new game) to GZShmup, and the only alternative I can think of is to force the player to bind a custom key, which I find both intrusive and inconvenient for the need at hand. The only way a custom key would be acceptable is if there was a way to set custom cvars. Like how custom keys work, define them in KEYCONF, (G)ZDoom would create them if they don't exist, otherwise leave it alone to what ever the user has changed it to. That way the player could setup my options to how they like once, and not have to do it every time they start GZDoom/a new game.

This looks awesome, I wanna play it but I get only decorate erros when I try to run it under Gzdoom v. 1.5.06, 1269 and 1.2.1.. I also downloaded the version on the first post, and the last one...

I'm currently using r1386, prior to that I was using r1362.

Story mode is in, but in it's un-edited form. There are still placeholders, and unformatted sections. I don't have the energy to finish it though. The galaxy map is also unsynched to the story. Nothing game breaking that I'm aware of however. Played through it, start to finish.

This is awesome! I've seen a shoot em up done in MUGEN before, but not (G)ZDooM!
