Thank you for your reply, especially, for suggestion about how to deal with BGM bug.
Unfortunately, it
still doesn?t work (I also discovered that I already have the same track in my folder, but with different untranslated symbols in its name), even though I now have correctly-named file in the correct folder. I wonder, could it be the case of my PC refusing to recognize this file because its name is written in non-English? Can something be done if that?s the case?
1.Getting spell cards from enemies won't let you learn new skills. If you get them you will find them in your item space and you can trade them in for prizes at the human village. You did give me an idea though.
That?s good to know ^_^
But.. how does one learn new combat skills, then? By purchasing/upgrading weapons? In Sakuya?s scenario I am currently using Razor Knife and in Sanae?s ? Python Gohei (both upgraded from starting weapons via powerups), and Sakuya still only has a single combat skill she had in the beginning. Sanae has, well, no combat skills whatsoever.
1.5. I haven't implemented cleaning skill yet. I am still thinking of what to do with it or even to replace it with something else.
I have a good idea of how Cleaning might work, if you are interested in my suggestion.
It can be implemented somewhat like farming each ?dirty? spot (that would randomly appear in appropriate location in accordance to what character?s scenario you are playing) would have a number of ?points?, I think around 1 ~ 5 depending on perceived ?difficulty? (cleaning footprints may be 1 ~ 2 point work, while cleaning up a broken teacup and spilled tea 5+ ). Just like farming, each cleaning attempt would result in 0 or a few points (depending on your cleaning skill), only instead of getting items you will be subtracting points from the dirty spot, when the ?dirt? points reach 0 the dirty spot is cleaned. And also like farming, I think cleaning should consume stamina, perhaps 2 points per cleaning attempt like farming.
The significance of this skill for Sakuya is obvious, since keeping SDM clean seems to be her primary duty.
Reimu and Sanae are both expected to clean their shrines? yard on daily basis.
(Many anime and anime-related works also imply that this is an important part of Shinto priest or priestess? work, although I don?t know enough about Shinto myself to warrant if that?s so. But either way, shine?s yard won?t clean itself ^_^; )
Nitori (if you will eventually decide to make her scenario) might need to clean the machines she has in her house to keep them in working order.
On a side note, speaking of various characters? duties, I would personally like to see Youmu having to tend to Hakugyokurou?s gardens as her main duty (after all, she is first and foremost a gardener). This can be done through somewhat related farming skill, or maybe through new Gardening skill (preferably the later, I personally like having various skills for various activities).
Of other possible uses of Gardening skill, I can also see Yuka setting Wriggle to tend to Garden of the Sun as a part of their friendship/romance plot (if you ever decide to make Wriggle?s scenario, that is).
Also, other dealings with flowers (such as perhaps Reisen?s coming to the Nameless Hill to gather Suzuran for Eirin) may also require Gardening skill.
As for your requests I will the first five characters you requested are recruitable in version 0.09 and the sixth is already ready for when 0,10 comes out.
Um, I guess I wasn?t very clear there; by ?playable? I didn?t mean them being merely recruitable but actually having scenarios of their own.
I understand that you have your hands full at the moment, so it is unlikely that I will see these scenarios anytime soon, but perhaps after you?ve done with three scenarios you?ve planned to do next, you might consider making Mystia, Meiling, Nitori and/or Wriggle?s scenarios?
By the way, if you are looking for advices with characters for SA and UFO scenarios you?ve planned, I can offer them, if you don?t mind..
For SA, Rin and/or Utsuho seem like best choices to me. They strike me as more active members of Subterranean community, and while they both have regular jobs to do, their jobs strike me as somewhat light and not taking anywhere near all their time. Plus, their job to maintain Hell of Blazing Fires can be made part of their scenario; which may do great job of making a player feel like they are really playing as an SA character.
Koishi also strikes me as having great potential as a freeform character, as she literally has nothing to do, and she may have an interesting plot of trying to learn more about surface world and making friends there.
Personally, as much as I like Koishi, I think that Rin or Utsuho?s scenario would work better for conveying ?SA atmosphere? so one of them should probably be done first. (Maybe with Koishi?s scenario added sometime later when you have time for that ^_^; )
As for an UFO scenario, I actually haven?t played UFO yet, so I don?t know characters from there very well. But looking through characters? descriptions in Touhou Wiki makes me think that Nazrin and/or (especially) Shou would be best choice of a character for UFO scenario.
P.S.If you decide to go with Rin or Utsuho?s scenario for SA, I can suggest following friendship/romance plots for them:
Rin:
1. Utsuho
2. Satori
3. Koishi
4. Chen (both are kind of cats, and both have fire references; Chen has fire-based powers and Rin?s surname literally means "blazing cat")
(
Yes, that?s pretty much all major connections I can see without really stretching it. So maybe Utsuho would make a better playing-controlled character after all..?)
Utsuho:
1. Rin
2. Satori
3. Koishi
4. Marisa (both strike me as kind of firepower-obsessed)
5. Nitori (the kappa are interested in nuclear power)
6.
Aya Hatate (actually, strike out Aya, I don't think relathionship between her and Utsuho would really work out; they strike me as too different, and not "opposites attract" kind of different. But Utsuho/Hatate friendship or romance is a possibility, I think, as they both have certain naivity about them, at least the way I perceive Hatate's character: kind of book-smart, but inexperienced.)
7. Mystia (same as above, plus powerful Utsuho and relatively weak Mystia could make for a potential sweet situation where Utsuho stands up for Mystia)
8. Cirno (fire and ice, plus they are both viewed as not too bright)
P.P.S.For Aya?s scenario, I would really like to see Aya/Nitori friendship/romance, as they are both kind of loners: Nitori is a shy and reclusive Kappa inventor, and while Aya is anything but shy, she strikes me as someone who has few to none attachments to other people and just like Nitori a kind of loner in the end (a feeling especially reinforced by a certain scene in her
The Fastest, Highest Shutter Girl video).
Oh, and among other potential friendship/romance plots for Aya, I am wondering if you may include a friendship/romance plot between Aya and Remilia? Granted, they don?t seem to have much in common.. until Aya?s scenario in SWR, where they both show surprising (especially for Remilia) familiarity towards each-other, and interact in a manner that can only be described as ?playful? *^_^* (and that after Aya beats Sakuya and sneaks into SDM) That scene left me feeling that they are in fact close friends, if not more *^_^*
P.P.P.S.Also a little bug, on Sanae's 3rd day, Suwako seems to have disappeared from the shrine...
Suwako-sama is not here?Oh, wait, she's still here, only turned herself invisible (and I can walk through the spot where she usually stood too), but she still responds when I talk to her.Oh, and also...
Screenshot #3Cirno's true identity has been revealed!And finally...
I never knew I could make clones of myself!But though it's certainly an amazing skill......Now I can't help feeling that I am starting to develop split personality
