Played through this on Hard and then Lunatic. Great game. I loved all the touhou-ish elements; Spellcards are genius.

The four stat system was a good idea too. It's great to actually have to pay attention to what attacks you are using. (= Well, once I leveled up some the enemies became easy enough where I just used whatever multi-target attacks I wanted, but it was fun when I was at a lower level.

Ah, and the guard system was cool too. It's too bad I didn't use it much. /: Are you planning on having survival cards? They would be a great excuse to use the guard system.

I'm looking forward to the next release. (^_^)

Is it too early to begin the guessing game of who is going to be on level 2?
Am I right in remembering that there will be four new playable characters on level 2?
Is Garlyle planning on releasing the next version of the game when level 2 is ready or will he hold out for level 3?

You can guess all you want but it won't mean much 8D

There are... seven more playable characters on the second floor. Possibly eight by the final version.

And I do intend to release 2F once it's ready, since that's when I originally intended to release the beta.

Why are we spoilering the names? It's not like we all don't know the names of Touhou characters...

Anyway, Gar-gar already stated that he is trying to give bias love towards less-used/liked characters in this game. So far in floor 1, this holds to be pretty true with the exception of Rinnosuke...And mayyyyybe Wriggle.

Anyway. Assuming he does that again for floor 2, I'm expecting to see Kisume (he's probably wondering htf to make her as a character though) most of all. Shizuha Is also really rarely used, but people don't seem to care about her like they do Kisume, so while Garlyle probably thinks that means she should be in more, he's probably smitten by Kisume's charm too >=p.

Rumia I actually would stick in later, she's actually fairly common in these fangames compared to most stage 1 bosses. Maybe Letty instead.

Do you plan on having the prismriver sisters together or grouped up somehow Garlyle?

Garlyle · « **Reply #312 on:** September 30, 2010, 04:59:26 AM »

Heh, while I'm trying to, it also has to do with whose dream I can craft into a world; and while you'll find a few instances where minor characters take the stage more than major ones, it's really hard to keep that when occasionally I can use someone more major in a more important way. So while a number of characters coming up fall under the "lesser popularity" segment, a couple even just here on F2 have some significant popularity behind them.

As for the Prismriver Sisters... that's a secret. If you're asking about how they'll play, however, they're all counted as individual party members, though as you might expect, they do have abilities that only really shine when they're together... Or that's the plan, anyway.

Hello! This is my first time posting here. I found this project by googling RMVX and Touhou as I'm also making one for myself. In short, I'm interested in this for ideas. I also played the demo so I'll criticize that first.

1. Maps: I find it too confusing especially since there are way too many one-tiled paths behind star passages. (I am probably spoiled by Pokemon's maps...) The tree puzzle is good though. (I haven't finished it BTW)

2. Battle System: Is good. Especially the boss patterns. Plus, it's turn-based which I find to be fast and efficient than any other battle systems. The Attack command is pure genius seeing as I haven't seen that before.

3. Graphics: It's pretty glaring to see the VX RTP monsters and Kana. Are you going to make them consistent over time?

That's pretty much it. I'll be looking forward to this.

@ Combination Attacks
I believe KGC has a script like that. KGC_CooperationSkill from the KGC-YERD Base.

EDIT: Tried the KGC Script. It's working perfectly for the default battle system. It has issues with Melody though...

warpshadow · « **Reply #315 on:** October 12, 2010, 08:02:27 AM »

I would like to second the survival card idea. You put too much work into the defense system to not let it be shown off a little.

Also I was wondering what is the progress on level 2?

Garlyle · « **Reply #316 on:** October 12, 2010, 02:30:44 PM »

Must've missed the KGC script...

On maps: It's mostly intentional. None of the stuff you need to go through those little passages for is essential; it's still handy, though.
On the battle system: Thanks
On graphics: I am not a spriter - I can edit minimally, but that's about it. If I can find resources, I might switch up - but as I said earlier in the topic, I'm really fond of the clash for a variety of reasons.

Yes, there will be survival cards later. They're special cases though.

And the progress on floor 2 is not as much as I would have liked it to be due to an influx of games, games, and more games. @_@

Ghaleon · « **Reply #317 on:** October 21, 2010, 10:05:18 AM »

Welp. I too have been playing some touhou fangames lately and notice some trends that I think you can try to improve on =)

I have some questions about the story if you don't mind... Maybe you don't want to spoil though.

1: medicine is a character rarely mentioned, but has so much potential to have a real deep story. Do you intend on giving her something more than pre-boss smacktalk or whatever? Actually are you going to really focus on individual storylines at all other than pre-boss smacktalk?

2: pretty much above but how about kanako? I find she gets overshadowed by sanae and nitori all the time, and suwako to a lesser extent... Err Aya too actually. I mean kanako is one of the least influential characters in touhou fangames for some reason,

3: I think people will hate me for this but... MarisaxAlice? I don't mean some kind of lesbian romance... But so many fangames seem to tell the player that they have a deeper relationship than other characters, but they never dip their toes in at all. I personally prefer none at all or more in-depth stuff regarding that. What do you intend?

Garlyle · « **Reply #318 on:** October 21, 2010, 11:01:26 AM »

I suppose the best way to answer all of those at once is that each floor from here on out contains its own mini-story. The first floor did too, although it wasn't a huge point of focus - more about exploring the tower and coming face to face with its great mystery for the first time. However, the cast from 1F is with you for a long time though, and as you progress, you'll be seeing them a fair amount in supporting conversations and such that should hopefully make up for it. Though to a certain extent, don't expect everyone to have a huge drawn out story, that would just be really hard to do! Still, hopefully I can give everyone the time for them all to garner at least some attention.

No specifics on Medicine or Kaguya, but they do play fairly significant roles once they do come up. Mind you, for Medicine, it shouldn't be a surprise - for a doll who has decided to liberate all of dollkind, is it really a surprise to hear she might have a fairly significant role in a game about wishes?

The exact nature of the bond between Alice and Marisa... yeah, I do plan to have some stuff revolving around that. What? Well, that's being concealed for the time being. Partially because after Sengoku Gensokyo's interpretation of the magicians, I need to stand back and re-evaluate my own interpretations of them!

Garlyle · « **Reply #320 on:** October 21, 2010, 11:40:33 AM »

God damn everyone with K names.

Still no specifics either way 8D

EDIT: God fucking damn scripting some nights. Just when I have shit working right, I find that one of the battle scripts I'm using overwrites how the game handles certain routines, so the advice I got from someone doesn't actually work, which utterly ruins part of the battle plans at present for

Spoiler:

as well as plans for more than one character's worth of new battle mechanics, and just... -argh-.

Yeah, we're not having that here just yet. It's up to Garlyle if he wants to make that kind of stuff known. Please refrain from posting that in the future.

...What the heck did I miss? o.o;
I'm gonna take a guess and assume someone cracked the data and posted up a character list or about the maps that weren't available in the demo or something (Which is possible I suppose?), in which case I'm kind of flattered someone went that far to try to troll me? I'm... really not sure o.o;

Axel Ryman · « **Reply #325 on:** October 22, 2010, 05:17:48 PM »

Something like that. Had a graph and an entire character list thing with only like 20 showing.I can see the picture in my head but I barely remember it. Spoilers are alright an all but stuff like that takes all the fun out of the game. Let's just be glad it got deleted,

Well it's not like that would really spoil anything, I mean, I've already said pretty much everyone will be in 8D
...And while the order might have spoiled something, well, no proof that it would; I've been pondering changing up my ordering anyway

Pesco · « **Reply #327 on:** October 22, 2010, 05:41:43 PM »

The screenshots had the order of character acquirement for the first twenty or so, Sakuya's growth chart and a map of 2F, complete with event and item locations.

That's literally impossible though; Sakuya's growth isn't even done yet. I'm surprised they didn't realise that if so.

...Also neither is 2F. Literally it's not even done -yet-, although I think at least one of 2F's half-finished maps might be there. Unless it was a different map, in which case it might not be 2F at all - rather, a map that was originally going to be the 'last section' of 1F until I realised that the characters involved and plot significance are better left for later.

Amused to find out that RMVX's default encryption cracks so fast though; maybe I'll just release the next one as open or something anyway (Or use an alternate encryptor... hm)

Spoilers don't ruin a game..But it definitely ruins the fun in waiting for a game in progress! Though the recent spoiler spamfest has boosted the post count yay. Maybe eventually this thread will need to be locked and get a version 2 >=P
