Maybe I'm just taking the word "heavy" too literally, but shouldn't that be switched for the projectiles? Yoshika shoots waves of weak kunai, while Seiga shoots large homing lightning orbs. Seiga's shots feel "heavier" to me. Unless they decide to completely ignore what they do in TD.

Yeah, whatever. Doesn't really matter. But if you give a character an attack that requires another character to pop onscreen to work it will probably have more frames than a regular attack to give time for that to happen. You could have it go either way by compensating density for quantity to make either one the "heavier" attack.
I made a PADHerder. It's probably out of date though.

Why do I picture the duo working like the old Jojo fighter? Seiga just flies around, then when Yoshika starts doing damage, she flies in to lay on even more hurt. That would imply that our control is focused on Yoshika and not on Seiga, but hey, who knows? :P
I finally got ahead!

Touhou 14 is announced, but the discussion here shouldn't stop. The same Japanese fan who pointed out about Ise-katagami has some fun theories.

http://www.nebuta.or.jp/archive/ogata/h23/ryoyukai.html
First of all, unlikely to have anything to do with HM's real story, here's a cool painting of a samurai general (Tamuramaro) with 7 divine-gifted oni masks hovering around him.

About the new character, he thinks she's based on Hata no Kawakatsu, who according to legend:

- may have come from China, claimed to be a descendant of the First Emperor of Qin;
- brought kagura into Japan;
- was favored by Shoutoku, and made masks for Shoutoku;
- was ancestor to the masters of noh theatre, including the greatest noh artist, Zeami;
- when people began worshipping a new god (which is in fact just a type of small worm), he suppressed this new religion;
- according to Zeami's book, he became a sennin (hermit), and is an avatar of Bishamoten who helped Shoutoku (the current wikipedia entry wrote his title as a god wrong, it should be 大荒大明神);
- Toriyama Sekien, that artist who loved inventing new youkai (you should really be familiar with this name by now), drew this image of Kawakatsu's mask becoming a mask youkai;
- was believed by a 20th century crazy man to be from a lost tribe of Israel.

Also, his name is mentioned by Cirno in FW.

OK, that's a whole lot of fun.

Well, if anyone wants to seriously pursue that line of thought, the highest difficulty in UFO is called "For the Lost Race - For people who insist they are chosen ones." HM is probably conceived at the same time as UFO, you know lol. :yuuka:

The game has gone gold (the release version is completed; a master disc has been sent to factory for manufacturing).

Unaba tweeted (1, 2):

The journey of HM's master disc has begun.

Thank you.


U2 Akiyama has updated the Tasofro blog:

Touhou Shinkirou has gone gold. Someone will probably make a proper homepage the day after tomorrow. As for tomorrow, we'll all be sleeping.

I haven't played the story mode much. I can play it now at last! Great!

Also posted is a screenshot for the story mode screen.

A hasty translation of the screenshot text:
Quote
The usually quiet humans and the always energetic youkai, they all seem very excited.

They are all so excited, because the shrine maiden will be dueling her rivals.

Win this fight, and solidify your popularity!

(Yes, even this text box is vertically aligned. The English translation patch won't happen too soon.)

The Demo runs at about half speed for me, this happen for anyone else?

It's probably the high resolution being too much for my PC.

Crap.

Although all other news aside, I'm very excited for the release of this game, and also the demo of 14. I hope to go exploring around the full HM game once I get my grubby hands on it.

I wonder when they will show the roster since the game is done already. The hype is lost since the announcement of DDC so I'm hoping we'll get it soon.

As for the translation patch, I don't really need it but I guess it will take some time since they have to change the dialog bubble too. But frankly, I don't think it would take that long, so there's no need to worry about it.

Well that was quick. So i guess we won't see the patch anytime soon.
No sweat, though. I'm sure the translation will be up within a few days.

If gensokyo.org doesn't really want to do it, and I know the FGC doesn't particularly feel encouraged to do it either, then I'd be skeptical about any translations happening with any sort of haste, though I'd be happy to see a translation of plot.

I don't think you'd have to worry about that. I'm pretty sure that the translation for the plot and most of the main stuff will be done in no time, like what we've been doing here.

Which one is that? The first one(sold on C83)?  The web trial with crappy AI? Or the web revision with fixed AI?
The sizes are different.

It's from some posts on the Something Awful forum, currently inaccessible to non-members. I had to google to find a copy of those posts... on someone's Tumblr.

http://s-p-q-r.tumblr.com/post/49718588663/translating-eosd

The posts are mostly about the history of the earliest Touhou English translation patches: PCB, EoSD and IN. HM was mentioned at the end.

You may want to set aside half an hour to read through it.

From now on the characters' pages will be updated one after another. Enjoy.

Also, according to his blog post, he has been pretty healthy until now; the moment the game went gold, his cold worsened. :yuuka:

Unabara's 0 AM trolling:

Unabara: My job is to answer questions like "is ~ in the game" with whether the character is playable or on the background.

Someone: Is Mamizou in?!!!!! She's in, right?!!!!!

Unabara: She lives forever in your heart.

Someone: Ahhhhh!!!!!!
So be patient, wait for them to reveal the PCs at their own pace.

I figured as much. It is no easy task to crack those things. But they didn't like HM? Wonder what makes them hate it. I actually find it having almost totally new mechanics to be rather neat and I'm interested on how the story will go.
At least the translation will still come, I might even do it when I got the game.

So is it the demo from 3 May, with the fixed AI? I'm not really sure since the size is different.

Sweet! It's gonna be hard to concentrate on my work for this week.

Thank you so much. It's a shame to see the patching efforts come to a slowdown and that Hopeless Masqueradr will not be touched here, but I understand why now.

Anyways, still hyped up about the two games. End of May, COME ALREADY.

Well, we'll find out soon enough, won't we?

And yeah. If the encryption gets too hard, it'll also be extremely hard to see the cutins from the games separate from the game itself. And... no English patch means that we'll be turning to the translators~
