Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I assume nod was referring to MindRec's new shooters in development, Xymati and PC Gunjin.

I dunno man, he's still working on the first level of Xymati from what I know, which is going to be a really massive level by the way.

I was actually referring to Frozen Utopia's "secret" project, but Xymati is another one...

PC Gunjin isn't a shooter, it's a run-and-gun. It's hard to consider such a game a shooter, it's more of a platformer where you shoot stuff instead of jumping on stuff of hacking stuff to pieces (kinda like Contra). Xymati is definitely a shooter though.
