I have this idea for an Embodiment-spellcard for myself, called something like Unexpected Sign 「I Need Scissors! 61!」 The bullets would look like scissors. It would start out with three clusters of five bullets each; then they'd abruptly semi-randomly switch direction and double, sort of like Alice in PCB; then they'd semi-randomly switch directions and double again. Now there are 60 scissors-bullets on the screen. Then suddenly a single scissors-bullet zips onto the screen directly at you from the side.

We also need a way for Danmakufu to know what Touhou games you have installed

If we're going to have Embodiments appear mid-stage, will they have actual spellcards? Or is it enough to have them appear as a named foe like Momiji from Stage 4 MoF? Is it correct to assume that the normal stage enemies will continue appearing as well to complicate things?

I think they are more like Death Fairies, but a warning appears. I think a image of the embodiment should appear like a spellcard.

The stage goes through as usual and is separate from the Embodiments, as are UFOs. This is the purpose of having them, it's a risk-reward thing, as you don't know which Embodiment you're getting and you're not sure how much more difficult the stage will become after they appear. The difference is that if you're going for lives the purpose is to not shoot at the Embodiment, which could be even more difficult than trying to blow up a UFO because you have to stay away from them. In the same way if you go for bombs you have to follow them, and all this has a definite impact on how the stages are played.

Yes, it'll be midboss-style. If we have spell cards and whatever in there it only obstructs vision and is a giant attention hog, which is unneeded. I don't even think portraits are needed for the same reason. The giant IDIOT EMBODIMENT APPEAR UNPRECEDENTED SERIOUS AFFAIR won't be as much of a distraction as it's at the top and it's the same thing every time, unlike portraits.

The embodiments shouldn't be too hard so the screen doesn't get clustered when there's a lot of common enemies

Nobu · « **Reply #309 on:** October 29, 2009, 09:14:59 PM »

Anyone know of a creative way to include cut-in portraits for the embodiments?

Aside from the sprites(which are basically just shrunk cutins, right?), maybe we can have a gallery mode where you can view the full portraits of embodiments you've beaten, and also get a little bio on them too.

Make both phrases in one line, with something separating Idiot Embodiment Appears and Unprecedented Serious Affair

Nine West · « **Reply #315 on:** October 29, 2009, 10:07:11 PM »

Aha, found it.

Nobu · « **Reply #316 on:** October 29, 2009, 10:16:39 PM »

So for simplicity's sake, should we just have it say "Idiot Embodiment Appear!" instead of "<Name> Appear!"?

I don't know if this has been suggested yet, but we should have some kind of sound effect similar to the UFO's appearing for when the embodiments appear.

Slaves · « **Reply #317 on:** October 29, 2009, 10:18:36 PM »

i think the CAUTION sound is more fitting, honestly.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #318 on:** October 29, 2009, 10:18:42 PM »

A question: Would it be possible/plausible to have me pull a Yuugi in the Extra Stage that I'm in?

That is, hang around after the midboss fight and harass the player for a bit. Afterwards, when the player gets to Slaves, he and I talk a bit, then I bow out (akin to Eirin and Reisen in stage 5 of Imperishable Night).

Because that would be radicool.

I love that scene where Eirin just floats into the sky.

Of course.

When the time comes to stage the dialogue, then we will need to adjust appropriately.

I took the liberty of adding all(?) the embodiment names, if we can have them show up while the embodiment is onscreen. Forgive me if I forgot a name or put the same one twice

Anyways, font is the "Cirno" font from the PoFV English patch at size 28, if that matters to anyone else making graphics.
