Would multiple spells at once, with independent lifebars and scripts be counted as separate spells in the final count, or as one?Yes. The better phrase here would probably be "Spell Phase," or anytime there will be spell card(s) active.
Do I/We HAVE to do a midboss/stage?Only if you're in a group.
Will midbosses and stages be scored in the overall script?Yes. This will be an "extra credit" per se, but it can hurt you, however.
Does the midboss have to be on the list?nope can be any Touhou character, official or fangame.
Criteria of Judging?
Other than keep the patterns with musics and characters and being reasonable
Maybe on visual or something else?
Also rule 3 kinda confuse me a little bit
So, you need to make 1 boss fight either from main boss or mid boss
Though it doesn't limit you to make both midboss and main boss in the same stage
Am I right?
Judging would in fact be out of my jurisdictions.
what rule three is that it mainly refers to those working in a group. Let's say I wanted to be on a team with you and enter this contest. I can do: Stage, Midboss, or Boss, but I must do one of those.
So you can enter in a group or as soloYou can only be in 1 entry.
But is it possible for one person to enter 2 or more different groups?
Or one person only can put the entry once (either in a group or as a solo)
Judging Criteria
---QUALITY > QUANTITY. We want to see creative, beautiful, and interesting danmaku that is both true to the character firing it and also unique and original.
---To be added later
So the judging criteria would be "visual" and "originality"?Rather, make 5-6 really good patterns(assuming you have nons, which you should.) Than 11-12 really crappy patterns.
I'm definitely entering, though I'll have to think for a bit on which character I want to choose.
But just to clarify, from the sounds of what you're saying, it seems that the characters are limited to one per scripter? So if someone else reserves a particular character, I can't make an entry with said character?
Do we allowed to revise our entry as much as we can before the deadline reached?
I play it and... woaw. It's fukin good. The two last spells are extremely fun and a bit hard. Good job.
It's going to be hard to do something better ><.
I'll replay it latter and maybe do some video stuff.
This should be do for a moment
It wasn't finished yet
But it was good enough i think~
The entry was Kogasa, it consists 4 nonspells and 3 spells

I would love to try!
I will take Parsee! :derp:
Ugh,All I need is just to make a boss fight?
Sorry,I just didn't understand that a little :V
Make a boss fight from top 30 of popularity polls. Must have at least 3 spell cards (max 6) .Thanks a lot for making it clear!
why is everyone announcing who they're pickingBeats me, but at least it might have an influence on variety.
why is everyone announcing who they're picking'cause no one likes secrets
no
If you don't submit early enough to make it into my stream, you will most likely be disqualified.
Nazrin wasn't in top 30 though. I would know.
Time is ticking, about two weeks remain.
We wish more many entries, and hopefully no disdain.
As always, please make sure you submit your entries before the deadline, and if you haven't started and still want to participate, please begin soon, or you will run out of time.
As of now, there will most likely be a 24 hour or so update-only window after the stream before judging begins so that bugs found during the stream can be fixed, but recall that Entries not submitted before the deadline will be ignored. If you don't submit early enough to make it into my stream, you will most likely be disqualified.
Of course, remember that you should get as much feedback as possible from your peers. This is more than a contest - it's a place for you to learn, be challenged, and be the best you can be.
For all practical purposes though, the deadline for new submissions is going to be the stream. I'm not going to wait extra hours for a submission because I'm going to be leaving the country basically the next day and everything needs to be ready.If this is an issue I can(and will) find other judges. There are still spots for those.
And yes, that means that judging WILL take longer because I will be in Paris for like two weeks and I won't have as much time to go through each script.

Hi. Unless I wasn't good enough of a judge last time.
And here it is, my submission for RaNGE 14 featuring more koh than any other script. <shot>
Terrible puns such as this one aside though, you'll find it here on BulletForge (http://www.bulletforge.org/u/python/p/human-inferno-range-14-entry-by-python/). Feedback is highly appreciated. It should run without any errors, as SpectralNexus and I have thoroughly tested it and it runs perfectly fine for both of us. Do report any bugs if you happen to encounter any and, if applicable, provide a screenshot and/or a video showcasing the bug.
otherwise exit the script once the red explosion appears).
If the script does not automatically close upon completion, you have a problem on your hands that you will want to solve before the deadline.Not that this would lead to a disqualification, but it may be docked points.

Normally something like that would be suggested, but if you want the Last Word to be part of what's judged, then don't make it available only under certain circumstances. Otherwise it makes it unnecessarily cumbersome for judges to seek out. I suggest either putting it in or not; or at least make it a separate bonus thing if you don't want it judged.
My entry for RaNGE 14. (http://www.bulletforge.org/u/fluffy8x/p/marisa-boss-battle-for-range-14/) No background right now, and I certainly don't intend on doing a 3D one.If it's not a Touhou or Touhou Fangame(as in currently released), yes.
edit: whoops, realized that the A-Q said that the midboss could be any Touhou character. Well, do I have to change mine?
If it's not a Touhou or Touhou Fangame(as in currently released), yes.
If it's not a Touhou or Touhou Fangame(as in currently released), yes.
Not that it matters for me this time, but for future reference would you consider Seihou or Len'en as acceptable?No for both, while they're Touhou-like they would not count. Except maybe VIVIT being having contact with Reimu and Marisa.
While I'm making a post, I might as well say; I'm putting out the semi-final version of my script as soon as I get home. I say semi-final because, short of some game breaking bug, I won't be updating it any more until Sparen's stream.
Was I ever not?
For future reference, PhantomSong is in charge of all the contest guidelines, including what is and is not acceptable
Was I ever not?
Vigor, just a question but...
Why don't you use Bulletforge? I ask because it's easier to keep track of versions using Bulletforge, and you can take advantage of Bulletforge's relative paths so that everyone always gets the latest version.
Well, might I ask something?
How many times RaNGE happens in a year? [I'm interested but without time to do another script]

MASSIVE UPDATE!
I've deleted the old project and replaced it with this one. (I'm such a newb, I know I should've just replaced the file but NO I DELETED THE WHOLE THING :V )
The nonspells are completely new, and the bad-ending spell is much quicker. Also, a bug with delay cloud rects has been fixed.
So, who won? (Sorry, but I had to sleep after some time the stream started - it was 1 AM here)
Also, a question about DNHArt videos: Do we ask permission for Sparen to make a video or does he make videos as he pleases?
Judgements for RikaNitori are always unique in time-sense :V

What sparen said is real, Hele starts to breathe down our back *shrugs*Breathing is just the first phase. Poking gungnirs is the second phase :V
Kirbiransu
RIP me 18th place. :fail:
I'll try to do better at this next time...
On an unrelated note, is it needed to use a custom shot spritesheet, instead of ph3's default shot spritesheet?I don't exactly understand the question, but I don't see why. The default shot sheet for ph3 isn't bad from what I know, unlike the one for 0.12m.

Welp, that was fun. Congratulations to everyone who participated, especially AJS, Fear Chronicle, and TresserT!
edit: some of the judges might have accidentally tested an older version, though, or I somehow failed to upload the update
Another edit: whoops, meant to edit, not quote.
Althought it was quite obvious AJS would win, I still got surprised that Conarnar and Vigor went to the bottom of the top 10 list. I mean, they deserved higher for that. Just my opinion though.
Shame that the judges couldn't participate though :V
I like seeing their scripts really.
How are scripts from judges going to be judged though :V ?
Simple, judges' scripts are judged by the contestants instead :U

Perhaps you should share the newer update?
I don't have the current version right now; if there's no BGM bug in the script and the midboss is Yukari instead of Nikou, then it is the new version.
I believe every judge has the new version, otherwise you would be disqualified because of non-touhou character you used.
Now i want to see this role reversal Kishin-Kijin scenario in action lolOh god, that will be most likely uber chaos.
Actually, PhantomSong edited the OP to say any character.Later in the Q&A I made note that is was to be fanmade or official
I'm fairly confident that I didn't accidentally forget to upload the new version.Then I'm fairly confident that the judges played the proper version. There is no reason for them to play an incorrect version, unless you forgot to upload it.

Is this a video of your most updated version? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QUsd_6tD0E) if it is, this is what the judges judged.
