[Naut]

Well you didn't do it last night so :I

[Drake]

I'm sorry I forgot ;_;

[Chau]

As far as I understand it, everyone is allowed to judge, but nevertheless I ask because
I don't want to appear in a bad light afterwards  :blush: :

1. Do you mind if I judge as someone who only has little experience with shoot 'em ups?
2. Drake, do you mind if I burden you with some more work this late?

[Blargel]

Arrays, large graphics, trigonometry...

...Modifying effect objects... The list grows

Yup, except the difference here is that if you used a bunch of huge arrays and large graphics in the game and then get to a part in the game where you aren't using em, the framerate returns. Modifying effect object will eat up framerate without returning it except possibly when you delete the object you modified.

you don't need to ask me
anyone can judge, just give reasons why you gave people certain scores

i thought i made this cleeeeeeeaaaarrrr

[Helepolis]

* Helepolis grabs his rod of remorse.

I'll be judging this this evening after work.

[Valentinya]

Spoiler:

Also there are two "scary" parts. I wonder if anyone has reached both of them yet?

I just did right now on my second try ;_;

Spoiler:

Edit: SUIKAMAAAAAAAAAA! I hate you! ;_;

I thought it was over after the second scary part but then I realize it was only just lagging due to the super low FPS when suddenly a boss appears...

[Drake]

The results are in!



flffblbflbfllf
By an entire point, victory goes to Sasupoika! Congratulations!
In second place we have Thaws!
In third place, Kylesky!
Onthenet comes close behind~

What's also interesting is that fifth place is tied three-ways, held by Chau, GenericTouhouFan and Iryan!

Good game, people!

Thank you all for playing!

[Infy♫]

hmm, what i can see there is Thaws has a higher score than OTN. so why isn't he second-place? Same goes for Kylesky!
am i missing something now?

[CK Crash]

Yay mediocrity  :]

Also Sercan obviously Drake loves me. Either that or he's really bad at spreadsheets.

[SAS]

I won!
Yay. I might attend later competitions. It was great fun to participate!

[Chau]

Oh, it looks like I've exaggerated with the InYourFace-Danmaku... >_<

I never actually finished the stage, so, yeah...

I don't think you can judge a script you haven't played until the end, to be honest...   :/

Only that black bar in the top of the background in the final bossfight was a little weird.

Before the actual pattern starts the player flies out of the scenery into "another dimension" (well, that's what it's supposed to look like), thus the name "Hyperspace". What am I saying, you said you aren't going to play this script again...


However:
Congratulations to Sasupoika, Thaws and Kylesky!

Hm...How many times am I going to edit this post?

And thanks to everyone for participating!
 

[Furienify]

I forgot to send in my judgement :/ derp

Honestly, 1st place was a tie between Iryan and Chau for me. Ya'll have strange standards.

[Iryan]

It seems most people seem to base their grading to a much larger degree on the pretty than I do, as well as being more generous in general.  :derp:

Well, whatever, I am waiting for what the actual implications of Sercan's observation will be.  :V

[Drake]

Wow I can't count. Thaws is indeed second place, other small errors, etc.

also iryan

this just in your standards are unrealistic and dumb

Oh, it looks like I've exaggerated with the InYourFace-Danmaku... >_< :ohdear:

Nope, you did just great. Not sure exactly why Mewkyuu gave you a 3, as there's only one wall, that is easily figured out after the first time, along with the surprising stuff not murdering you after a few plays. A higher mark would've landed you in fifth alone, and have possibly matched OTN.

[Suikama]

Oh hey look who's last again o/

[Schezo]

Hey, I did better than I thought I would actually do for not having scripted that long. Anyways congratulations to the winners.

[Formless God]

Oh hey look who's last again o/

Fix the script later. I still want to play through it entirely.

[Suikama]

Fix the script later. I still want to play through it entirely.

Sure thi

* Suikama glances at NaNo word count

:ohdear:

[GenericTouhouFailure]

Everyone complained about death walls on my entry :V
Tip: The undodgable rings are aimed AWAY from you

Also: holy shit I didn't expect to beat so many people.
Anyway, Congrats to the winners.
I really need to work on my stage danmaku  :ohdear:


Edit: all tips are here now.
Patchouli's non directonal lazorz are not a threat at all. Stream the rings with minimal movement and then watch the lazer pass harmlessly.
Sakuya's spellcard on Normal is safespotable.
Library: Kill those fairys that leave a trail, plan a path and follow it.
Basement: Deathfairy is lolstreaming on normal after first two waves. On lunatic. Stand still. Move when required. Stand Still. Rinse and repeat.

[Helepolis]

Congratulations to the winners. Already added your names to the FAQ thread for eternity. :V

[Kylesky]

Congrats to Sasupoika and Thaws! :V'

btw, Grumskiz... when reading your comments... I was a bit weirded out cause

1) the first part was working perfectly at 60fps for me (and probably most other people I guess)
2)the end when I made the debris background falling portion, I never experienced a red glitch :<

[Thaws]

Congrats to Sasupoika and Thaws! :V'

Congratuations to Sasupoika and you too! :V

Yay 2nd place. I think that makes me the first person to have gotten first, second, third (and honorable mention too lulz) in RaNGE contests, looool. :V
@Mewkyuu's comments: I thought the Parsee reference would have left just as great as the impression Kogasa left. o__o... But it seems it wasn't even mentioned by anyone.
@Naut's comments: I have to admit, I may have started this with scary stuff in mind but it didn't take long for me to realise I just fail at that and just went for the usual silly/funny stuff.


Sasupoika, your script was so great, I really like the eerie feeling it gives. It's creepy :ohdear:.

Thanks for the judges' judgments and thanks to everyone else.

[Suikama]

@Drake: Uh you couldn't shoot?

...didn't you pick up the hakkero in the second room? :V

[Iryan]

also iryan
this just in your standards are unrealistic and dumb

Well, is it because I think the gameplay is more important than the non-gameplay, because I think that in theory people here could ever conceive something that is comparable to ZUN's work, or because I think looking sexy in a wet t-shirt should not matter in getting the Academy Award for Best Director?

[Drake]

No, it's because the likelihood of anyone here making something truly comparable to an actual Touhou game in three weeks is fairly low (and even if I had given more time, it would have just been put off anyways). You even said that Rika's averages about a 6, so while people did get above that, it was still pretty unrealistic. I think the main difference was that your scores went from 6 to 0 reeeally quickly.
Standards are not the same thing as judging criteria

[Grumskiz]

Congrats to Sasupoika and Thaws! :V'

2)the end when I made the debris background falling portion, I never experienced a red glitch :<

Well, the problems I mentioned hapened for me when I played it 2-3 times before judging it and I tried it again 5 minutes ago and the same things happened...
The "Fade-Out" of the spider itself looks great! The problem is, that the background gets really crunchy (the pixels get a little blurry) and after playing it the last time, I found out that it mixes with my STG_Frame.png for some strange reason in some places, but only chunks of pixels get copied and others get deleted and it looks like a graphic glitch  :ohdear:
(Actually, I think the crunchyness could have been your intention, but that STG_Frame mixture looks glitchy to me...sorry if I missunderstood something D;  )
Well, after the spider is gone the background turns normal again, so the dark room you're flying through...

And for the framedrops in the first part of the stage: I have no idea, why they occure for me and only for me D:
As I mentioned, my laptop usually plays every srcript very well, eventhough I can't use full-screen, because Danmakufu crashes.(Also every original touhou crashes in Fullscreen...)
I tried different player scripts and I even changed some stuff in the config, but it didn't help...
However, in all my tries the framerate was at 40-45 fps...except for some sudden changes before and directly after the mid-boss, but these only lasted one second.

[Naut]

Congratulations to Sasupoika, Thaws and Kylesky! Great work fellas

[Cadmas]

You going to be doing videos again Naut, for us people whom can't play the scripts?
