Hoo, boy. It's been a while since I've made anything worth posting. I think I've been through at least one computer since then. But here we are. Scripts below.
Everyone Loves Reimu Hakurei
Download hereEven Reimu Hakurei can't be cheery all the time. The lack of attendance at her shrine is starting to get to her. So when she finds a bunch of people having a banquet at her shrine without inviting her, she obviously isn't in the best of moods...My aim here was to make a Reimu boss without making a Reimu boss. Each health bar is a different boss, but they're all using Reimu-style patterns, so the fight should hopefully still feel unified. For comparison's sake, I've included a "BONUS Reimu Version" boss that's all the same patterns in a straight-up fight against Reimu.
Your actual opponents here are Reimu's common shipping partners. And holy hell does she have a lot of shipping partners. Somehow I ended up with a whopping seven health bars. But I couldn't bring myself to leave any of them out: Marisa, Yukari, and Sanae are all must-haves, Alice/Reimu is more popular than you'd expect (plus I'm a fan of that one), and leaving Reimu's Subterranean Animism partners out didn't feel right either. So here we are.
Uh, sorry about the lack of flashy effects. I don't have fun working on them, and I suck at them anyway, so I didn't really bother with them for the most part.
I've already got another one of these for Marisa about 20% done. Not sure who I'll do after Marisa, but I do intend to make a series of these,
so if anyone wants me to try one of these for a particular character after Marisa's done, let me know..............Oh, I included Lefkada's Reimu player because it was publicly available on Bulletforge and it fit the best. Not sure what the accepted ph3 protocol with that is, so let me know if I messed up. I can always take it down and reupload it without the player included if necessary.
oh, I tested this with a different player than I actually used, so the player in the screenshots is different from the one in the download. whoops. also, I forget what the limits on the size of screenshots in threads were, so sorry if I went over them.
how is this my first script in ph3? I know I was the last person in the world still using 0.12m but this is ridiculous...Everyone Loves Marisa Kirisame
Download hereStop me if you've heard this before: Marisa's stealing some books from Patchouli's library. Shocking, I know. But this time, Patchy's enlisted some help. Getting away won't be so easy this time...This is pretty much the same story as last time: I made a Marisa boss without making a Marisa boss. Marisa's friends are all taking her spell cards for the day, and they each compose one health bar of the fight. In case you don't believe they're really Marisa's cards, or if you just want a straightforward boss fight without the fluff, I've included a "BONUS Marisa Version." That version has all the same patterns, but it's all Marisa, all the time. (Be warned - that version is actually a bit harder, since almost all of her bullets are stars, and their hitboxes are a bit tough to track.)
Compared to Everyone Loves Reimu Hakurei, this one turned out a bit easier. Easy is much easier, and Normal is a tad easier once you learn the patterns. Hard and Lunatic are pretty much the same, so Lunatic is still an unbalanced crapshoot. That said, there are a lot more spell cards with gimmicks that are hard to read the first time through. I've done my best to make everything clear, of course, but I still apologize if you get hit unfairly.
Once again, the enemies are Marisa's common pairings. Reimu and the other magicians are mandatory, of course. I've seen some adorable Marisa/Nitori works, and I know abstractly that Marisa/Flandre is a thing that exists. I didn't think of including PC-98 characters, unfortunately. Yuuka would have made sense, in retrospect. But I did want to keep things down to five health bars after that monster of a Reimu fight, so maybe it's for the best.
Everyone Loves Sakuya Izayoi
Download hereSakuya trusts her mistress, Remilia Scarlet, absolutely. But does Remilia trust her? Something's going on in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and Sakuya's the only one out of the loop. She wants answers, but Remilia won't give them up without a fight...It's a Sakuya boss... sort of. Once again, each health bar is a different boss, but they're all using Sakuya's danmaku. I do actually think through the stories behind these, so I hope you enjoy the plot. But if you'd rather not sit through cutscenes, you can always try the "BONUS Sakuya Version," which has the same patterns as used by Sakuya herself.
Rather than doing Sakuya's shipping partners, I'm making this one a Scarlet Devil Mansion showcase. Basically that's just so I'm not still doing Reimu and Alice danmaku - while they're two of my favourite characters in the series, they're hard to come up with danmaku for and I need a break. (Well, it also leaves my options open if I ever want to do Everyone Loves Alice Margatroid. She seems to come up on everyone's shipping list...)
Difficulty-wise, this is harder than Marisa but easier than Reimu. Lunatic is even more of a crapshoot than usual. Be warned.
Coming up next: I dunno. ...Well, okay, it'll probably be Sanae, but I don't want to announce it officially just in case I decide to do a different character instead. Update pace will be slowing down as I focus more on writing for the rest of the summer.
(Also, yes, I will reorganize the thread when the next script comes out.
