Teff007 Projects ~ Current Project: "The Mistery Below the Fortress"

[TheTeff007]

Hello, Hello, Hello to all of you who enter my very first thread, and this is to showcase
my first Danmakufu Project titled "The Mistery Under The Fortress" (and future projects too), a single stage script
with a setting like an Extra Stage.

As I didn't have any idea of how to start a Touhou plot, the characters are self-inserts of some of my friends that helped with this and myself, if you dislike self-inserts, bear with it.

Now, enough talk, snapshots at once):

A Clear view to the character (Credits go to Gamemaster for creating him), the BG (wich in a future will be more
professional as I'm still experimenting the drawing and such) and the Frame (as this is still a Beta Frame,
it will not appear in the Demo)

One of the patterns of the enemy in the stage portion, most of all the patterns are based in leaving
the character with no space to move and inducing Koishi's trademark Paranoia.

MidBoss (Ignore the Sprite & Cutin I used for him, is a Placeholder). He knows the Extra Boss,
and is gonna stop you from continuing your way through.

Jack's (Midboss Name) first Spellcard: Chaos "Total Anihilation" and a show to his Spell BG.

Another Stage Pattern, this time using bubble shot to cause more paranoia.

Recycled Sprite for the Extra Boss (Still making the sprite), and the Background of the Extra Battle is a
Frozen Door wich the Boss is trying to protect.

Terror "Limited Movement Type Clausthrophobia", another pattern with almost no movement chance,
moving suddenly will make the traping kunais to kill you, and staying still will make the rain to
destroy you.

Summoning "Invocation of a Cleansing Rain", a High-Density Spellcard, those bullets are
indestructible, good thing the boss doesn't move.

Each Odd Non-Spell is made from several Bullet Rings, adding one with each Non-Spell

Bipolarity "The Two Sides of a Coin", Easy Pattern? You can only damage the Boss while
focused, but the Green Bullets will turn red and start to move, killing you if you stay focused for too much.

The Extra Boss Theme is Borrowed, Marisa-style, from Gamecubic Survival Contest Script until I manage to fit the Real Extra
Boss Theme.

So far, this script has 10 Spellcards (3 from the Midboss, and 7 from the Boss), and like the SA Phantasm
stage, the story and events will trigger regardless of the character you choose.

I'm doing it well? It's pretty easy? One of the spells must be renamed to "Icicle Fall"?
Any kind of commetary is apreciated, as long as it provides support to this project-
Any commentary is greatly aprecciated.

This Project is not ready yet for download. I hope a demo will be in one week from now on, so until later, Teff007.

Looks interesting - I'll definitely check it out once it's available for download. Hard to judge what the gameplay will be like without playing it or seeing a video, so I'll have to wait until then for comments!

[TheTeff007]

It's still has no special gimmick like the official touhou games, but I plan it to have.

At most, the Dialogues between the bosses are dynamic and depend on how well you played.

[Supreme Gamesmaster]

Replace the images with links before the mods do. :O

"Total Annihilation" looks lag-tastic, and the name and pattern are unrelated. :/ "Two Sides of a Coin" has an iffy name, too, but if that works how I think it will, it could be really interesting.

Try and give your bullets more variety without ruining the theme. For example; "Limited Movement Crappy Name" has only white bullets; perhaps blue or aqua could spice it up a bit? I'd redesign "Invocation of a Cleansing Rain" completely; it looks dead boring from here.

I'd comment on more, but I obviously haven't played the script yet. Will await more.

With all due respect,

       that player looks FANTASTIC whoever coded it must be a GENIUS

[TheTeff007]

Yeah, I'm still green when it comes to making interesting patterns, and don't think of the spellcards you sww right now as the final phase, basically, is the basic idea in the spell and work from there, "Total Anihilation" was a complete random shooting spellcard on it's first phase.


So, yeah, I will bring more screenshoots probably in this week.  Thanks for the comments!

[strike]and there's a chance for another two more players Gamemaster[/strike]

Pseudo Update, as I'm showing another Spellcard (Third time I redid the Spellcard  >.<)

Both Circle of Bullets generate, advance a little the stop and reverse. The little dots from both upper corners shot randomly.

Any suggestions on how to name the Last Spell of the Midboss? Or suggestions to the spell in general? My computer is Powerful Enough to run 4 Touhou games at once, but shitty enough to lag when using Camtasia or Hypercam :V

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

Midbosses don't usually have Last Spells, unless they have a special purpose - in Project Nite Fesitval, it unlocks the Phantasm stage when captured.

[TheTeff007]

Bad Explanation given >.<

I meant the LAST spell the Midboss uses before continuing the stage...

Another Bump to my own thread, but this time to show this:

Comments are aprecciated, as always

[Beef Owl]

This looks pretty nice, the only things I see as an issue are the huge setup-times for the spells, but it would be rather difficult (or at least annoying) to try and speed it up the beginning while maintaining the pattern, so it's fine. It sort of helps to intimidate you a bit :V

On a side note, I haven't posted in forever, but it seems everyone's gotten way better at Danmakufu since I left  :derp:

Requesting 2 betatesters for the Demo. PM me or post here for link to the demo.
