[Fan Game Idea] A boss is you: Is it feasibly possible?

[Failure McFailFace]

So, an idea that I've been carrying around for a few months now is an... interesting idea for a Touhou fan game.

Summed up into 4 words: A boss is you.

An elaboration that I posted from Lincoln's "Original Touhou Game Ideas, anyone?" thread: (edited for organization)

Another idea:

A boss is you. You are a boss in Touhou, and you're out to test out your new spell cards on various objects, like rocks, trees, fairies, humans, youkai, and other less mundane things.

At the starting screen, you pick what collection of spell cards to use, similar to ISC. You have to complete each "enemy" using all sets of your spell cards, by making the opponent lose all of your lives. After that, you move on to the next opponent.

It is completely out possible to beat the game using only Level 1 spell cards, but it's very hard as there's an AI constantly dodging and attacking you with shot types, and your cards aren't upgraded/optimized to Hard or Lunatic levels. Thus, there's a leveling system like ISC, but you have to optimize the cards yourself via a tech tree of sorts.

You also get to customize your card decks, like in SWR and UNL. You're able to pick between three types of spell cards: Regular, survival, and multi-phased.

• Regular spell cards are your run-of-the-mill cards that you can either time out or shoot down.
• Survival cards removes your hitbox (the boss you're playing as) and forces the opponent to time out the card.
• Multi-phased cards are the most powerful, but you can only have three (multi-regular, multi-survival, and multi by itself). It make you invincible to bombs, and your health is twice as large as a regular spell card. All of these cards have different patters as the timer runs out. (Think Flandre's "And Then There Will Be None?" spell card as an example of a multi-survival card.)

Different opponents have different special abilities:

• Rocks are completely stationary, but they break apart into smaller rocks that can reduce your health.
• Trees have a damage tolerance, and then fall forwards in a straight line in front of it, potentially hitting you.
• Fairies have a lower bullet hit tolerance than trees, but they can move around. Fairies are the first opponents to actively try to defeat you. They are the first bosses to have an AI.
• Humans have the lowest bullet hit damage tolerance, losing a life of they're hit. On the other hand, the have a smarter movement AI and have more varied, stronger shots than fairies. They have bombs, which are very hard hitting attacks that could potentially kill you if you don't have enough health. Humans have limited bombs.
• Youkai are extremely similar to humans, with the only difference being that they have the smartest AI and unlimited bombs. You defeat the all youkai, you win the game.

An idea is great, though what is your role in this whole thing?

This sounds like Boss Rush, which was a lot of fun. So I support this project.

[Failure McFailFace]

This sounds like Boss Rush, which was a lot of fun. So I support this project.

Yes, something similar, but with faster movement, larger variety of attacks, etc.
Here's some key bindings that could be used:

Menus

• Arrows: selection
• Z: Select
• X: Cancel
• C: Accesses the Profile menu (like SWR and UNL)
• Escape: Does the same thing as X

Non-spells

• Arrows: Movement
• Z: Shoot a some snowball bullets
• X: Shoots a laser
• C: Shoot a ring of rice
• V: Shoot some homing streams
• Shift: Randomizes an action. (Shift+C makes the ring position random, [Any arrow key]+Shift moves you at a random speed and direction, etc.)
• [Key held down]: Continuously shoots (Z and C have long reload times,  V has a short reload time, and X has a set timer)
• Escape: Pauses game

Spell Card Selection (Pre-Battle Only)

• Arrows: selection
• Z: Select card (Prompts "Which slot do you want to put the card?"
• X: Deselect card
• Q: Puts selected card first
• W: Puts selected card second
• E: Puts selected card third
• R: Puts selected card fourth
• T: Puts selected card fifth
• A: Puts selected card sixth
• S: Puts selected card seventh
• D: Puts selected card eighth
• F: Puts selected card ninth
• G: Puts selected card last
• Escape: Same as X

About gameplay mechanics:

• Each spell card levels up in a similar way to ISC.
• • More uses = More levels
• Whenever the opponent gets defeated by the card, the card gets 1 use.
• It takes 50 uses to level up a spell card to max level.
• • This is because I envision that the game will 10 locations, with 10 stages each
• It is possible to clear a level without using spell cards.
• • When you do, all of your active (in your deck) cards receive 1 use (like ISC)
• When you win a battle, you receive a "Success" for that level.
• • You'll get a "Location Success" for clearing all of the scenes in that location
• As you unlock each location, you unlock more card slots for spell card battles.
• • When you get to the last location, you will have 10 card slots. This is as many as an Extra boss, which you will be fighting there.

Note that I'm not a programmer, and I have no skills in coding whatsoever. But I make ideas and theories. Lots of ideas and theories.

[Failure McFailFace]

Some more gameplay mechanics:

Power and Point Items:
You receive a set amount the first time you complete a scene. It exponentially goes down as you complete the scene more and more. You need Power and Point items to equip spell cards.
Every spell card has 2 values on it that apply when it gets "captured" (more on that later). Red numbers mean Power items, and blue numbers mean Points.
Those numbers are the amount of Power and Point items that drop. Like in the main shooters, Power items give more power, but only to your opponent.
The Point items let your opponent receive more lives, but in varying ways, depending on which game the character came from (e.g. Cirno's lives regen from passing point thresholds, Wriggle's lives come from passing a certain number of Point items, Parsee's life shards come from defeating spells and non-spells without dying, etc).
Power items allow the opponent to kill you faster with more powerful shots.

If your opponent gets through your spell card without getting hit, it's considered as "captured" and forces you to relinquish Power and Point items. You don't lose the card; you just lose Power and Point items. Ant items not picked up by the opponent will be returned to you.

Gimmicks
Every character has a gimmick attached to them for receiving lives. They depend on which game they're from.

SoEW/LLS/MS/EoSD/MoF: Passing a point threshold
PCB/IN: Passing a certain number of Point items
PoFV: Points ()
SA: Completing spells and non-spells without getting hit
UFO: Life pieces, and from red UFO's. Randomly colored UFOs will spawn from the top during fights with UFO characters.
TD: Life Spirits, and from certain enemies. All fights with TD characters will make you drop Life Spirits instead of Life Pieces.
GFW: Freezing your bullets (Cirno only), and slowly over time
DDC: Same as SA (but random), and collecting many items at one time. The collection will randomly yield a Life Piece (25%) or Bomb Piece (75%).


Some story:

It is the spring after the Youkai Rebellion. You saw everyone around you go mad and attack anything. There were stories of a lone youkai besting the most powerful youkai in Gensyoko. She had managed to create three new tsukumogamis, and caused an entire rebellion that jumbled Gensyoko's power structure. From a worthless fairy to a youkai with great power? You sought out to train, and make that happen.

[Thanbo]

If no one here has ever tried Gensou Rondo, I'd reccomend trying it for its gameplay has a part where you can throw different danmakus continuously at the opponent like the original game switched places.

Same idea, but distinctly one-sided for me: You control the boss, and the player is an AI.

Also, 2D, top-down danmaku with no melee, not 2.5D, with both sides shooting shots, along with no life meters, etc.


After a 5-minute session of it, I think it looks good, but the movement is clunky.

[Failure McFailFace]

New idea: You can summon familiars/slaves.

After a certain point (Maybe after unlocking your 3rd spell card slot), you're able summon familiars.

What are familiars?

Familiars are enemies (look like IN familiars) that assist you in defeating your opponent, such as shooting additional bullets, forming walls around the opponent, etc.
Like in IN, if they're killed, they drop items and destroy bullets around them.
You can summon familiars by pressing the Space Bar. They come in and randomly float around the screen. Whichever button you press, the familiars do too, but with a little bit less accuracy.

And some changes:

Non-spells

• Shift: Focuses bullet trajectories.
  
  • Control: Randomizes an action. (Shift+C makes the ring position random, [Any arrow key]+Control moves you at a random speed and direction, etc.)
  • Space Bar: Summons a familiar that imitates your attack. Costs 1 Power and Point item.
  
  During Spell Cards
  
  • Arrow Keys: Move around. Will not work during cards that do not have your hitbox shown, or if the card has your movement set.
  • Space Bar: Summon familiar. Mimics your attack. Costs 1 Power and Point item.

I guess the main issue with this is how you would manage to make each level (stage) different to the others, I imagine you have a plan on how you could make each opponent feel different from the last?
Also, how would you stop there from being a "perfect build", which would potentially be able to beat every single stage?
I guess you could stop that be making each area (or stage) have a specific amount of each type of spellcard (so one normal, 2 time outs and a multi-part, for example), but other then that I can't view how you would manage it
You've mentioned  the idea of leveling spells, how would you manage to make this feel like it isn't grinding?

Overall, it could be an interesting idea to work with, but there is definitely a lot of important mechanics you would have to work out in order to make it enjoyable

[Justin]

Wait.
I'm not the only one who wishes I could be the boss?

[Failure McFailFace]

I guess the main issue with this is how you would manage to make each level (stage) different to the others, I imagine you have a plan on how you could make each opponent feel different from the last?

The rocks are the first opponent you fight. They're completely static, but it randomly shoots out rocks as it gets more damage.
Trees are a little more mobile. As they are about to get destroyed, they will sway back and forth, and fall right in front of it.
Fairies, humans, and youkai all have different abilities to trump your cards.

Also, how would you stop there from being a "perfect build", which would potentially be able to beat every single stage?

As said above, and below, your spell cards start off as something from an Easy Stage 1 Midboss: Easy to dodge, and quick to kill.
As your cards get used more and they improve, they'll eventually be something from an Extra stage boss.
Plus, fairies, humans, and youkai will have abilities that will potentially negate your spell card's affects. For example, Yukari teleports away from bullets when she's at the edge of the screen, Reimu has the smallest hitbox, Cirno can freeze bullets a la GFW, Seija will pull out a random item from ISC, etc.
So no spell card combo will reliably defeat everyone.

I guess you could stop that be making each area (or stage) have a specific amount of each type of spellcard (so one normal, 2 time outs and a multi-part, for example), but other then that I can't view how you would manage it

I'm trying to learn Unity so that I can make it in there, so there's that.
Anyway, You won't unlock survival cards until around your 4th spell card, when you have as much power as a stage 4-ish boss.
You also, as stated in my last post, that you are limited in terms of cards by how many Power and Point items you have.
You get more Power and Point items from completing scenes.

You've mentioned  the idea of leveling spells, how would you manage to make this feel like it isn't grinding?

Same as ISC. Use the items (or spell cards in this case), and they get better. Like more bullets, the bullets move faster, the timer is set longer, etc.
Plus, these scenes may or may not be unreasonably hard, so the cards will just level up naturally as you rage through the scenes.

Wait.
I'm not the only one who wishes I could be the boss?

Yep.

This seems awesome! So you?re the boss and you have a sort of Lvl up system from ISC. Sounds interesting . Oh you should also make a phantasm like scene, although to access it the player would need to clear all prior scenes before, and the boss would be Seija and she would try to cheat trough your spellcards like she does in ISC.

Slow down! I haven't even had the time to update DDC yet!

What kind of help do you need?

[Failure McFailFace]

What kind of help do you need?

Mostly help with making arranges, remastering various PC-98 songs, etc. Also an access to an SD-40 or something similar. I really like the ZUN sounding music.
Made worse since I have very limited free time because of school and Chinese AP classes, so I have that going for me.

Also need to learn Unity, Java Script, sprite sheets, and a bunch of other stuff, including character portraits for an (in development) OC. I can't draw anything remotely good, so I might get help from my classmates for that... Maybe...


EDIT: Now that I think about it, how about a check list?

• Make Shot types (In progress)
• Arrange Music (1 done)
• • Themes wanted: Photo themes, ISC themes
• Character Portaits
• Character sprites
• Learn Unity HIGH PRIORITY
• • Extension: Learn JavaScript/C#
• Design spell cards:
• • Bullet patterns
• • Names
• Story (Low Priority)
