Gunstar Heroes was a game originally released in 1993 by Treasure for Sega Megadrive / Genesis, It featured a mild story line covered in bucket loads of action, it pushed the boundaries of its consol to places nobody thought were possible. Everything was pushed up a notch, the colour pallet, the number of detailed sprites moving on screen at one time, it made a feast for the eyes.
Gunstar Heroes was a game that I thouroghly enjoyed as a small boy, it was my absolute favourite as a child, much more than sonic/mario etc. I got to blow up a million trillion robots with some of the coolest guns ive ever seen (note present tense) and still save the world and be a hero!
That being said, computer graphics have moved on a considerable deal, and yet, Treasure still have not made a 2.5D version (at least) of a Gunstar Heroes title, so I sat and dreamed about "how cool would this game seriously be, in 3D" graphics dont make a game good, thats for sure but when the game is already badass, the graphics ontop will make a sure fire hit!
Now as an adult id I have he power to make that dream I had come true, I will take on this game from a different perspective, and that is from the directors chair. I will attempt to make the game franchise as popular as it deserves to be, I will add my own story, sugar, spice and everything nice. Then with the help of my team, bring it to you out there as something you will all love playing, and coming back to. Maybe even get you to play the other Gunstar games that are out there as god intended.
It was unfortunate that Gunstar Heroes got released in the dying years of the Genesis/Megadrive consol. Truley a forgotten Gem, the origianl game doesnt make it into a lot of re-releases for the more advanced consols that are out nowadays, if it was released at the same time as Golden Axe or Streets of Rage, it would easily have been one of the most famous games of all time.

- Whats new? - ![]()
The story line is completely original and is being writen by me specifically for this mod, that will help the mod stay alive as it will never lose its sence of direction
Characters will be trainable! the more you use your character the faster/stronger/tougher they will become
The weapons have been thought over in depth to make both old and new players happy, each of the 14 weapon combinations now has an alternate fire mode, some of these include; Rockets, bouncing projectiles, Force Shields and railguns. there are now 28 different player weapons to chose from!
- Game modes - ![]()
Campaign: the story mode for the mod, this will unlock more playable characters as you play through and discover secret items scattered throughout the game.
Mulitiplayer Coop: there will be a multiplayer online mode, where two players can play cooperatively through the single player campaign together.
Survival: both multiplayer and single player game mode where you are pitted against ever increasing waves of enemies from the campaign including boss enemies, Timer-on: "how long can you last?"
so.. if you know a coder that knows U script, or C++ and would like to help us out, please give them a shout and say we are in need, we are this || close to having a fully functioning team.
Studio75 is now almost fully ready to take on Gunstar Heroes Resurrection as we welcome our mapper Siikduke!
the one problem area now is coding, DrakkLord however much he'd like to hasnt the drive after his slave labour job to sufficiently help enough with the much needed coding work that must be done.
If you want to help anyway with modelling concepting or coding, you could do a one-off job if you dont feel like joining the team for real, you will still be given credit for anything you produce for us, we could always use some extra help! xD
If you ever get a chance to play the original, DO IT, you wont regret it :D

could you tell us when this mod will be realeased or atleast a demo of this?
it would be cool if Moddb Users could test it and see if you did good job or something
I really dont know about a release date, you can see we have a long way to go just by looking.
without a mapper the chances are getting slimmer and slimmer, the absolute minimum would be at least 3 months after we found a mapper.
and my appologies for no update this week, Jacq slacked off hardcore and I am busy with a university deadline for thursday.
i have a buddey thats leaning how to map for the engein
The weapon disks system is very cool :) it's such a nice way to add variety and depth to weapon usage, not to mention the fast that your arsenal will seem enormous -> fun factor ftw. Gj :)
hm........ Gunstar Heroes is really good found some videos of the game well keep working on the mod it look just awsome not much can do such a work (except Killing Floor)
I use to play Gunstar Heros as a kid. Great game. Good luck.
Gunstar Heroes was awesome, hope you accomplish the mod as you like :D
thanks for your kind words :)
it would be better if ported this into HL2 too!! nyahaha
lol nice. i see what you did there, with your sarcasm.
