東方青星川 ~ Serpent's Great Flood - A Danmakufu Fangame
« on: October 23, 2015, 02:30:26 AM »
A game that's been in progress for a little less than a year, Touhou Aoseisen ~ Serpent's Great Flood tells the story of a massive, world swallowing flood. The rain pours endlessly upon the land of fantasy, drowning its residents with no ark to escape to. Play as the Pure Snow Team of Reimu Hakurei, trying to solve the incident as per usual, and Cirno, who's been bunking with Reimu ever since the rain swallowed her home on the Misty Lake. Or tackle the rain as the Drizzle Team of Marisa Kirisame, our favourite thieving magician, and Kogasa Tatara, who Marisa recruited to stop herself from getting soaked. With the rain team is Alice's new remote communication doll, Izumo, allowing Alice to provide remote support from her home...as well as witty banter. Finally, from the Netherworld comes the Blue Sky Team of Youmu Konpaku, as the flooding has caused a massive influx of drowned souls in the netherworld, and Mystia Lorelei, who Yuyuko has bullied into helping Youmu. The game features original music by Jonathan Lundeen, also known tamaXIII, and code by myself, ultimadragon88, but you can call me Jake!. All of the art is also done by me!

I lack a tablet for two weeks, so all of the art I've shown is just sketches in black and white. Don't worry, it'll be coloured later!

Gameplay will hopefully be a bit harder than a standard touhou game. The game's gimmick is the Tidal Gauge. By destroying bullets by bombing, or by building up the graze meter to release a bullet clearing explosion, you gather special items that fill up your Tidal Gauge. When it reaches full, it resets and gives you two bomb fragments or one life fragment! Thus, gathering resources requires precision and planning!

Here is a video by Trickysticks showcasing stage 1 Hard mode. Currently, the game lacks the Tidal Gauge, but it will be added soon! The dialogue is also missing due to a lack of coloured images, sorry.

The boss' sprite is an edited CtC sprite done by me.

here is her image!

However, this is the only boss that will be revealed until the full, three stage demo is released!

This has been ultimadragon88 of Raijuu Productions, and I hope everyone will look forward to our very first game!

Just a suggestion, you may want to move the title screen to the OP, and use thumbnails for the characters and most of the gameplay images. That way it doesn't take so long to scroll down the page.

Sorry that I haven't posted here much. I'm not really sure what to post here, to be honest! I figured major updates, though.

The soundtrack for the demo will be up sometime this weekend, however, on my composer's youtube channel, and I'll be posting the link here when they're released!

Currently, it only has the first two themes at the time of posting this, but more will be put up as the weekend goes along. I hope you all enjoy it!

Also, I'll be posting update videos over on my channel as well!

I can't wait to hear more, this reminds me of another fangame or shmup or something....I can't place my finger on it but Wave of Nausea REALLY brings back whatever memory that was.

But yeah, I'm already getting pumped!

Some info about the first demo!

First off, I hope to have the first demo released sometime in April, but keep in mind that it's a tentative release date.

Secondly, something I think you guys would like to hear...

Last Words are available and unlockable in the demo!

They are unlocked by capturing a certain amount of each character's spell cards. This total includes any midboss cards or any spells that they have from being a midboss on a higher stage or even the extra midboss! The number will roughly be equal to the total spellcards the character has on Easy and Normal combined.

Note that the Protagonists' last words won't be available until the full release, though!

Third, I figured I should mention how the updates and patches will go.

-first demo. Contains all difficulties for the first three stages. Reimu/Cirno A and B only.
-first patch, adds in the Marisa/Kogasa team.
-second patch, adds in the Youmu/Mystia team.

The reason for each player being released in patches is because I get my player shot graphics from an outside source, and they have other projects to work on in addition to this one, so I try not to rush them too much....

Plus, making players is hard!

Anyway, thanks for checking out this update, guys! Stay tuned for more!

Due to family, school, and personal issues, development was practically non existent for the past month or so. As a result, I have to put off the demo release for a while. I'll get back to it when I know for sure when it'll be published!
