I would argue that Lunarians aren't aliens. The only alien are the moon rabbits which I assume lived on the moon all this time. Lunarians are just humans who travelled to the moon way back in the past and is now living there.

~~I'm having a weird problem where the game refuses to start at all; does anyone know any fix for this?~~

Never mind, got it.

Here's a generic patcher for the non-starting problem caused by Tasofro's DLL anti-hacking, and makes the game run on Windows XP. It should be applicable on future versions of the game.
Made by: 八重雾中渡

Run it in the same directory as th145.exe, and a new th145_fix.exe will be generated.

Yes, after each update you should delete the patched .exe and run the patcher again.

Holy shit Tasofro. Guess the border between the guard being too hard and too easy to break is thin enough that a 700 meter card that breaks 3 hexes is a bad idea.

On a side note, is there a translation of endings available somewhere on the net in any shape or form?

There's some interesting stuff on that old diary in general, not including them spending way too much money on MtG cards. Some of the 2007/2008 entries are about the design of SWR and their approach to the decisions they made. More or less confirmed that they had felt players would sit around doing nothing too often, so weather was added as a way of forcing the situation. Apparently it originally had no aspect of luck or randomness associated with it.

I was looking for the source where they said Yukari's train spell card was originally supposed to drop an airplane or a satellite.

The source turns out to be a report on 2010's post-Summer Comiket Nae Radio. This is the same source where ZUN said "Lily Black" was simply Lily White cosplaying as the judge.

Also from the report: ZUN came up with SWR's weathers. NKZ: "When he first told us about it, our heads were full of question marks."

That's it. Every time you see a Touhou fighting game become a playground for some lore-dependent ideas that are wacky for wacky's sake - weathers, Suwako, occult balls - the blame probably lies with ZUN.

XP isn't supported anymore by Microsoft. You really need to update.

IIRC, Suwako's flying animation in Hisoutensoku wasn't ZUN's idea, though (but of course he rolled with it after being shown it). My memory could be off.

Tasfro... ZUN's indirect counsel advisers.

Seriously though, I like the ideas that Tasfro put in their games. When I was waiting for the last few days before ULiL was released, I was a little worried about what they would do to Byakuren with her "turbo baba" urban legend. It could have quite easily become lame if it wasn't handled well (imagine a feeble looking Byakuren plotting along on a scooter).

Nope! Tasfro made her a leather-clad motor head on a bad ass motorcycle. Well played Tasfro!

Byakuren really is the character that is full of suprises.

Abraham Lincoln · « **Reply #1605 on:** May 24, 2015, 03:34:32 AM »

So is Byakuren a motorbike granny or OJ Simpson?

After a hell of a lot of play time, local tournaments and translation reading I honestly think this is the best touhou fighter in the series. It's easy to pick up and play, the revamped fighting style feels a lot more fun and less complicated than the others as well. It might just be me but I think through the dialogue, story and character art the game also has a lot more charm to it than the other fighters, it feels more like a classic touhou experience since all the characters feel much more, well, characterized I think? Oh, that and that the soundtrack is absolute bliss in my opinion! So yeah, hands down favorite spin-off and touhou fighter for me.

commandercool · « **Reply #1608 on:** May 24, 2015, 10:04:28 PM »

Played a bunch more games over the last couple weeks.

People seem to be tending to gravitate toward Marisa because she's so strong and easy to use. Byakuren and Koishi are relatively untouched because they seem to have a significantly higher learning curve than everyone else.

I still haven't quite figured out how to safely move around with Mokou, but her damage is nuts. Mamizou and Kasen may be my favorites right now.

If my memory serves me correctly, earlier on this thread it has been mentioned that Byakuren's motorcycle Last Word references OJ Simpson on a high-speed chase with the police. I could be wrong though.

Um... you could just go back a few pages.
But i will explain anyways, as someone who was involved in that conversion. Basically Tengukami posted a Photoshop of Byakuren in OJ Simpson's place, and then i asked what the Last Word was referencing, and she thought that i was asking what the Photoshop was parodying, so she said OJ Simpson.

BTW, the Last Word's referencing a Japanese urban myth known as "Turbo Granny".

Edit: Also, this is kind of unrelated to what we are talking about, but i am glad that O.J.'s in jail now, i hope he doesn't get parole.

For some reason I thought Sumireko was a tanuki like Mamizou when I first saw her design.

Patch 1.03 has been released, containing some general gameplay tweaks.

This time, Tasofro has also added an env_check.exe tool that checks whether your system has any DLL that prevents the game from running. This is going to help the tech-unsavvy players... how? Let them delete files whose purposes they don't understand?

Leon゠Helsing · « **Reply #1615 on:** May 26, 2015, 10:28:05 AM »

>env_check.exe
Well, I am most certainly not touching that with a 10-foot pole. Messing with system DLLs is always a bad idea.

By the way, does the patcher you posted still work on 1.03, cuc?

AbdulGalaxia · « **Reply #1616 on:** May 26, 2015, 12:19:41 PM »

I was playing this game for a while now and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nru4UWIlkw4 this happened, It's really nothing special, but i wonder if tasfro gonna fix it or not. _{i hope they don't its kind of funny in a sense.}

cuc · « **Reply #1617 on:** May 26, 2015, 01:11:54 PM »

The only non-gameplay change in v1.03 is they added a camera flash to Sumireko's selfie victory animation. The story script errors (there is at least one more error) should not be fixed.

Relax, the program doesn't do anything other than give you the paths of the files th145.exe won't like.

Indeed, the patcher still works. However, here is Patcher 1.1, which has removed one further check from the program, and should prevent some other cases of the game crashing.

Yeah, I still prefer messing with the game to make it work with the computer over messing with the computer to make it work with the game. :V

Gpop · « **Reply #1619 on:** May 26, 2015, 01:58:40 PM »

So here's a thing I found with Koishi right before 1.03 happened.

Basically, in 1.02b at least, there was an odd quirk that the opponent can't dash or jump out of meaty projectiles if they are recovering from a regular wallslam (or at least, it was a quirk for Nitori's 5aa6a 2c). When I made this video I didn't know about this until now, however I was told this so this might actually be a thing.

Fortunately this doesn't work anymore as the patch nerfed guard crushes. Opponents that were recently crushed will get a temporary extra hex, and spell cards will only do half as much hex damage if it isn't at full/double power. Also the wallslam recovery glitch was fixed :V
