Danmakufu Contest #7 - All Hallow's Even 2! Results announced!

[SAS]

Hi Jaimers

[Stuffman]

Limiting it to the defaults will fulfill those requirements, silly. I don't want the script to be designed for some random player. Just saying that having a script that requires the player to shoot backwards (DS) or something would be bad.

If we create and include a player file intended for use with the stage (inside the script file so no extra installation BS) and make the stage only use that player, would that be permissible? Or do you want us to just stick to standard danmaku gameplay?

I'm thinking about making a stage with a gimmick that would require a custom player script.

[Thaws]

Aww yeah finally a contest where I can participa----

a stage

y u du dis drak

Argg stages are so difficult to make.
How the hell does people still balance difficulty and no. of bullets on screen when there's like loads of enemies you're spawning and players can kill them in any order. asdfjasdfasdfas :ohdear:

And it's like "whoa it's just been a year?" to me. Feels like it's been forever since the first contest O_o.
RaNGE has gone through so much change in just one year. There's like way more scripters now :O.

It's like I'm much less enthusiastic about danmakufu now than a year ago. :/
Maybe it's just I'm out of ideas. ;-; Hopefully I'll get an idea out of nowhere later.

Contests are like good motivation to get something done in danmakufu. At least it is for me. :V

Same goes for you. You only show up like Walker during contests :V Stalker!

Imo it is a good challange that draws everything out of a scripter. Next contest will be: "Make full game". So this is just a warming up :V

Which is good. I don't know if I can safely say this, but I think we are the biggest western community forumboard with Danmakufu  being put strongly in the spotlight. I know that Google has a Danmakufu section as well, but don't know how active it is.

A year ago this forum was dead. Now we have some what discussions and a room for everybody to show off stuff.

Ask Stuffman how long he has been busy with PoSR :V ( even I am already more than year busy with Dance Contest ) It is called 'real life'

[GenericTouhouFailure]

Next contest will be: "Make full game"

OH YESSSSSSSSSS

[Thaws]

Should've known I wasn't going to be the only one who did this. If it makes you feel better, I was going to do it regardless of disqualification :V

As long as it works out of the box. If you wanna go the extra mile then go right ahead, I suppose.

Kinda a goofy question but can the midboss make multiple appearences like Alice in PCB as long as it doesn't go over the limits?

[Stuffman]

No. As a workaround, don't give said midboss a lifebar, just make it a death fairy, that way it's technically not a midboss so they can have as much crap as you want :V

Oh you probably mean breaking up the two attacks+spells across multiple appearances. In that case *shrug*

[Paper Conan]

Yes, ty! :derp:....
*goes back and lurks until some entries pop up*

[Jaimers]

Hi Jaimers

That's a boss, not a stage though.  BV

[SAS]

It is a stage! Those DOOMs are enemies, not bosses!
That stage just does not have a boss :coolvee:

uhhh alrighty

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

Two derps and quite a bit of wishmeluck dodging

[GenericTouhouFailure]

I'm using my custom cutin function that does not require CreateEnemyBossFromFile which means my stage does not have a boss, which means I can't go over the limits :smug:

[Drake]

have fun getting disqualified and unfunnied if you try breaking restrictions out of attempting to find loopholes

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

Just because rules are my friends. :smug:

Dammit. Out of jokes. :3
Oh well, back to serious work  :V

... Also I'm gonna just judge on this contest

[Bitz]

For anyone who cares (i.e. nobody), I can't participate in this contest. People want me to work on my other project instead of this, mainly. I'll judge, though. Kthxbai. *goes back to lurking* ?_?

[Paper Conan]

So to recycle some old danmaku and then blame it on Satori get some inspiration I decided to check out some scripts of previous winners in earlier contests... I played Helepolis' halloween 09 script and... and....  :colonveeplusalpha:
(he had already done a Kogasa x Nue fight. Now I have to go sit in my corner for a couple more hours thinking of something new  :fail:..)

[Drake]

It took you hours to think up KogasaxNue?
