Author Topic: RaNGE Contest #19 - Stolen Artifact: Reisen (Read 13238 times)

ExPorygon · « **on:** May 21, 2018, 12:58:25 AM »

Doors slide open and slam shut. Footsteps thud on the floor. One last door is thrown open, and an unknown intruder escapes Eientei, running into the night of the Bamboo Forest, A scream follows the intruder, countless rabbits giving up the chase as Reisen sinks to the ground. It's been a while since an incident like this, but...

Another artifact has been stolen!

This contest will be a continuation of the Artifact Contest series, in which contestants must design a boss fight that uses the gimmick(s) of another boss. This time, the artifact chosen belongs to Reisen Udongein Inaba, stage 5 boss of Imperishable Night. Be dazzled as bullets change places, rotate, and/or duplicate themselves, all while fading in and out of existence. All of these things and more can be made possible with the power of Reisen's Lunatic Gun. Or her ears.

RULES

*All scripts must have a minimum of 6 patterns and maximum of 12 patterns, with each nonspell or spell being one pattern. Please remember that quality beats quantity, though, and adding patterns for the sake of having more is discouraged.
* Multiple difficulties are allowed. Judges are not obligated to play all difficulties and will likely pick one that matches their skill level, so be sure each one is balanced!
* Midbosses and stages are optional. If a midboss is present it may have up to 3 patterns.
* The only character that can't be a boss is Reisen (she can still be a player), everything else is fair game!
* Please include the player that you used to test the script with the download package.
* If done in Danmakufu or otherwise, script errors or other bugs may lead to docked points or complete disqualification depending on the severity of the issue. Be sure to thoroughly playtest!

JUDGES

ExPorygon & Trickysticks

Scripts will be judged with the vast majority of the score attributed to the quality of danmaku. Visual effects and music are nice, but they are ultimately secondary to your entry's gameplay. Post your entries in the thread when they are ready to be submitted.

DEADLINE: June 24, 2018, 11:59:59 PM Eastern

This looks incredibly fun. Unsure of whether or not I'll be able to enter, but I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from this.

Script Entries + Videos & Other Info

As usual, I will be setting up a post for videos of every entry. Links will primarily be to the Danmakufu Video Database.
If anyone finds issues with my tutorials or has questions, please feel free to PM me, and I will do my best to improve the tutorials.
(As usual, I probably won't participate unless SeitenTouji's release somehow manages to go through without any problems, which is highly unlikely)

Can I use fan-made characters like Mitori Kawashiro in the contest?

Yes. At this time, the only character restriction is no Reisen.

PhantomSong · « **Reply #5 on:** May 23, 2018, 05:38:16 AM »

Aha, so I can use Reisen II!!

... Just kidding. I'll try to see what I can whip up for this interesting contest.

Meowstic · « **Reply #6 on:** May 27, 2018, 02:57:05 AM »

I'll be putting together an Eirin script for this contest, mainly based on the theme of medicine!

And syringes, lots of syringes.

Helepolis · « **Reply #7 on:** May 31, 2018, 05:43:22 PM »

Contest is lacking active interest with just 3-4 members. Not sure if it is wise to carry this on? Unless people don't mind.

TresserT · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2018, 05:49:34 PM »

There wasn't a sign up sheet so there's no way to really know how many people are planning on participating. I know at least two other people plus myself who are making scripts for this, I just hadn't bothered to make a post here yet.

JDude :3 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 31, 2018, 08:46:24 PM »

Reisen needs to be player or can it be, like Tewi or Eirin?

bronxterror · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2018, 09:25:07 PM »

Well, since I have a lot done, may as well say I'm entering with Satori.

Sparen · « **Reply #11 on:** May 31, 2018, 09:59:27 PM »

If time allows me, I'll be making a Marisa script for the contest. I'll *try* to meet the minimum requirements at the very least, but with my work on the DNH Docs backups, finishing up the core game for SeitenTouji, and job-related messes, I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off before the deadline.

Regardless, I will still maintain my post with video links, etc.

Reisen doesn't need to be a player. Any character can work, and you don't have to make your own player if you don't want to.

I think at least eight/nine people are participating, there just haven't been many posts here.

Aight then sticky it is!

Does every pattern need to utilize the gimmick?

Not strictly, but it will help.

There's still almost two weeks! Porygon and I won't actually download any entries until the deadline, so feel free to tweak or update as you please!

HumanReploidJP · « **Reply #21 on:** June 20, 2018, 12:07:56 PM »

Uhh... I'm confused right now, but I'm sorry about that...
I'm not ready, though, because there's no way I would do that.

P.S. I automatically never sign up for that or the entries because I work alone...
...unless I would stand for the next contest entry other than this. :wat: Case closed. :wat:

iVAwalys · « **Reply #22 on:** June 22, 2018, 10:42:01 PM »

here be my entry :V

Tried really hard to make it balanced this time-

Trickysticks · « **Reply #23 on:** June 24, 2018, 06:10:41 AM »

There's less than 24 hours before the contest deadline, so be sure to get your entries in!
