[Sanzuri]

I can help out with concept art and 2d designs. I have a friend who is a musician that can create music and/or sound effects who is interested in helping as well.
I'm looking forward to this project!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are happy to announce the opening of our
Genso Shojokosen: Battle Maiden Character Poll . Here you will be able to vote for three characters (based on your preferences) that you'd like to appear as playable in the game.

The poll will go on indefinitely until further notice.

Voted. Hope my favourites get in.
Hope there won't be any Mima

[Miziful]

sent you a PM

@savory

looks like I'm not allowed to send private messages or even look at your profile for check if you have your skype in it (you guys REALLY should take off all these restrictions if you want people to help you, its really uncomfortable to try to communicate with someone and end up by posting in a thread without any privacy)

send me another one with your skype and I will add you.

Mod Edit: Well, with all fairness we have our valid and well supported reasons for these restrictions. As Tengukami linked, the thread contains those reasons. -Helepolis

You might find this information helpful.

Done.

So this game will more closely resemble Sm4sh huh? Well, I'm good with this. I dislike brawl, and Sm4sh is supposed to be a mediator of Melee and Brawl, so yeah it's fine by me. You said there would be no wavedash button, but will there be no wavedash in general? Will there be land canceling? Will air dodging encompass both Melee and Brawl's airdodge? (non-directional airdodging would do Brawl's, directional is Melee). How will guarding work? Will this work be simply the smash system with Touhou characters in it, or will you add your own unique Touhou mechanics?

[Savory]

For the most part, yes.

You said there would be no wavedash button, but will there be no wavedash in general? Will there be land canceling? Will air dodging encompass both Melee and Brawl's airdodge? (non-directional airdodging would do Brawl's, directional is Melee). How will guarding work?

Most of these question I cannot answer just yet.  At the moment, we don't even have a fully functional character, let alone mechanics.

Will this work be simply the smash system with Touhou characters in it, or will you add your own unique Touhou mechanics?

Though we haven't come to that point yet, we are thinking of adding such a unique mechanic, perhaps in a fighting mode. But it's too early to say.

[Momito]

GOSH I hope my favorites make it ;_;

Btw, I sent you a PM, I wonder if you received it D: If not I can try sending you an email <3

[ferancisco]

Excuse me Savory :3
How can i talk to you, i don't want a fight, or argue with you, actually i'm interested in the project :3
is there a way to talk to you more properly?
Thank you for the announcement

UPDATE! The link to the poll has changed due to issues concerning SurveyMonkey! Those who have already voted, kindly cast  your vote once again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Following on that, do you have any intention of correcting balance if necessary like, say, Project M? Or will you just playtest it for a while and leave it at that? Balance is a tough thing.

[Peachems]

I would love to help out with Concept art, but haven't received a PM yet. If you're full, then that's fine.

So is it time for everyone to post their favorite character's moveset ideas yet?  :derp:

[Savory]

Well of course we'll do our best to balance the characters.

[Spotty Len]

I meant balance after the game get released.

[Savory]

I meant balance after the game get released.

I suppose that's also within the realm of possibility.

[Flandre5carlet]

So is it time for everyone to post their favorite character's moveset ideas yet?  :derp:

As much as I want certain characters in (mostly my top 3 Kaguya/Flan/Reisen but a bunch of others as well), I have no idea what their movesets would be, lol.

EDIT: Regarding the poll, what happens if someone votes 3 times the same character?

[Savory]

Regarding the poll, what happens if someone votes 3 times the same character?

Good question. We will only count said character once. It's merely pointless to vote thrice.

[ZXNova]

And in the case of someone voting three times, will you only count it as 1 or 3 points?

[Gabo7]

And in the case of someone voting three times, will you only count it as 1 or 3 points?

It will count as 3 points.

[Savory]

And in the case of someone voting three times, will you only count it as 1 or 3 points?

It is only counted as three points, the points awarded to your most wanted characters. The duplicates are not acknowledged.

I'd like to see if there's anything I can help out with as a programmer. I've done coding before, mostly from university and high school, but I've never used Unity or C# (although when I heard about this project I went ahead and downloaded Unity, and am currently going through the tutorials).

A small update:

• we are trying to get our project management stuff out of the way (task management and content management). Both our tasks and received content will be publicly available.
  
• we've decided on a licensing scheme. This project will be under GPL v3 for all code created for it. This is largely to deter any attempts to commercialize this open source project. For non-code content, we are still trying to come to a consensus regarding it.
• we are looking for a way to set up an open mailbox for general contributions. Even if it is toward something that we are not working on, (i.e. a model for a character not on the current character list), it helpful (see below). Just make sure it violates nobody's copyrights, especially ZUN's.  Good practice is: if you don't own the rights to it, don't send it.
• To those asking will X character be added, the easiest way to get a character you want in the game is to contribute content related to them. (i.e. Want Reisen? Send us a model of her/her LoLK gun, a 2D portrait of her, or an arrangement of Lunatic Full Moon). If we recieve enough content, it would be foolish of us NOT to add said character.
• Forking the project and creating your own derivative of it will be fully allowed. Don't like something about how we're doing it? Fork it, fix whatever you see fit, make a pull request. If we like it too, we will incorporate it.

[Reu]

Ah, was wondering when this was gonna pop up.

I wonder if Wriggle will have some Captain Falcon inspired moves.

That's the best I can think of when it comes to her, maybe with some bug projectiles here and there.

[PhantomSong]

I can assist coming up with some movesets if you wish V:

Is this the only way? I'd like to vote, but I don't have a Google account.

[Zerviscos]

Just saw this.

Tally-Ho on the Hype Train!

You do to use forms, won't let ya past without logging in.

I take it this won't be the primary mode of development then? ie, you will have a core team with set goals and objectives.[/list]
