Danmakufu Contest 1 - Halloween!
Welcome to Rika's Garage's (grammatically questionable) first contest! Anyways, we all know that Halloween is just around the corner. There's nothing scarier than a wall of bullets heading right for you, so for this contest, you have to make a short Halloween themed boss fight!
Rules:
-The maximum number of attacks is 2 nonspells and 2 spells, with a matching plural script.
-Have at least a normal difficulty version of the script, but you may have a hard/lunatic version included as well.
-Feel free to use any resources necessary as long as credit is given, just don't blatantly steal ideas from other entries.
-The boss character can be original, from Touhou, or from another game.
-All entries must be linked to in this thread by midnight October 31st.
-Don't discuss other people's entries in this thread until judging is complete.
Judging:
The judges will be me, Drake, Naut and Stuffman. 3 out of these judges will be picked for each entry (this allows the judges to enter too)
Entries will be judged in the following categories:
Design
Is the difficulty genuine, or from random cheap shots? How fun is it to play? How original is your danmaku? Is it glitch free?
Theme
How well does it fit the contest theme?
Style
How well does the BGM match? How nice is it graphically? What extra touches are included?
You can score up to 10 points in all of these categories, and your overall score will the total points earned.
Don't be intimidated if you're new to danmakufu, everyone here has started off as an unknown user. I'm hoping to see some interesting entries! Good luck!
The contest is now over! Click to see the results! (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=3276.msg151569#msg151569)

You should all know by now how to score points with me. Looking forward to playing your stuff.

Should I lurk more?
-
No need, if you script up something that is fun to play then that is where the big points come from (it will increase everything else by default because of my biased feeling of "holy shit this is fun"). Don't worry about it.
God help you if it's easy though.
-
Looks exciting.Can't wait to see entries 8D
-
This could be a great opportunity for me to improve my fledgling skills, although given the fine print in Naut's post, I'm not too confident about placing very high.
-
NNGH... originality gives points?
Better start thinking then.
...No luck.
edit: ok... i finished... andddd.... testing. ...argh, cheap shot at teh beginning. ... ... OMFG SO EASY. ... ... hmmm, this may be harder than i thought...
-
So judges aren't participating?
-
I've agreed to be a stand-in judge.
So, if Onthenet posts an entry, it will be judged by Naut, Drake, and me.
-
Should we just post our submissions in this thread or should we PM it to the judges?
-
What time zone is the deadline supposed to be in?
Can there be dialogues?
I hope I'll be able to get something done before the deadline...
I want to finish my Purple UFO stage script first though. :-
It'd suck if my idea overlap with someone elses... Hope it doesn't. XD
-
I possibly got an idea for a boss. I might be doing this as a distraction from my original work.
-
I would like to join, but I hope the deadline isn't too short, because I'm on a pretty tight schedule myself too.
Edit:
-All entries must be linked to in this thread by midnight October 31st.
Oh.
Hmmm... I'll try... *sketch sketch*
I think it's better to PM the files to the judges. If the entries aren't posted simultaneously, it's kinda unfair to the peope who finish theirs first, because slower people can compare then.
-
Dang, have to check wether or not danmakufu even works on the new pc...
If so, I think I'm in, otherwise obviously not. :V
So apparently there is no way to make Windows 2000 use japanese as the basis for non-unicode programs.
Haet.
HAET!
-
so. can i transform my stage 1 & 2 bosses into a horrifying new boss battle?
-
I suppose this could do with a sticky.
HOLY CRAP GUYS IT'S A BIG DEAL, YOUR MODERATOR IS STICKYING THE THREAD! LOOKS LIKE YOU BETTER MAKE SOME SCRIPTS FOR THIS!
-

Pretty much this.
-
If anyone is worried about posting their entries in this thread, then PM it to all 4 judges instead. As long as all 4 of us have access to your entry, it should be fine.
Note: This may be a good time to take advantage of the DMF wiki for script hosting.
-
Yeah hi nobody reads stickies so
-
MMFH.
I accidentally made a not-really-exact copy of Byakuren's non-spell. that first one.
All that time for nothing! I don't want copies of ZUN patterns!!
Does the "tidiness"...ish of the scripting count?

I'll be marking on tidiness, just saying. Not necessarily tabulation, just overall neatness, if I can understand how it works, etc.
Dunno about your question though, Thaws.

Ah....
I'mma going back to mah scripts again. OH MAH FAKKIN GAWD SO MESSY
Edit: OMFG POKEMON (edit: MUSIC)
Edit: mmmmm... it's not like people play the scripts by looking at the code, right? Well, I'm tidying the stuff up, still...
-
OK. So I said that I won't enter if I don't get danmakufu to work, right?
I lied. (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vwnyjzjvutj)
Ok, so I cannot test my script. At All. I cannot see if the pattern looks like I intended, if it is too easy or too difficult. Hell, I cannot even test whether or not the script actually works! I simply have to hope that I didn't make any typos, which is very unlikely. To make an error less likely, I did a rather simple script, only a single boss attack, without using any data save for the pictures that are in the standard rumia folder, no sounds, no music. Still, "The most important thing is not to win but to take part!". :P
If you encounter an error, it would be nice to tell me where it is so I can fix it, though I understand if you won't. This is a contest, after all.
Last place, I'm coming!
-
Last place, I'm coming!
I've got dibs on last place already.

I've got dibs on last place already.
I suck harder. Sorry, but I already have that spot.

If you want it so badly, download my script, try to run it and tell me if it works. As I said, I cannot test it, and I doubt you can outsuck an error message. :V
-
I'm not joining, I'm on a busy schedule with my danmakufu project.
I can't wait to see the entries!
-
Haha that would be a fun idea for another competition, blind spellcard creation where you're not allowed to playtest it. It would have to be on the honor system though so it probably won't work.
-
I'm in for sure. Got a bunch of ideas I wanna try out~
-
Such confidence everybody has! How exciting!

Such confidence everybody has! How exciting!
My confidence seems to have lowered due to a small problem that I couldn't find in the Shot Object tutorial. Now's not the best time to ask, though, so I'll address it when I submit my entry. For now, IMPROVISATION!
I'm still claiming last place.
-
I'll create an entry for the lulz.
It'll be done in 5 minutes (if I get around to it)

All ready to submit, but now that tidiness counts, submitting the scripts should wait.
-
I only got so far sprites and bg :V Still need to script it all. :V
-
Umm i've had some interesting ideas that i could use here, guess i'll try my best ^^

If you want, you can pm me to look at the problem. I have submitted my script already, so you can trust me not to steal your ideas. :V

Oh, really? That'd be very helpful. Thanks!
-
Are we allowed to have stage scripts for doing things like effects and stuff?
-
What kind of effects are we talking here? Like a background? Can't see why not.
Two nonspells and two spellcards max!
Jesus dudes how much detail are we putting in to this
Gonna have to jack this shit up a bit
-
We're allowed the boss being in the form form of a stage? Great! I know of a awesome bg.
Welcome to hell, I must say
-

Yep
Can't see why not.
Awesome

Can everybody post their entries in this thread instead of PMing the judges, I don't think it's fair that only four people get to play the majority of the scripts.
-
Sure, if that's what you'd rather have us do. I just figured I'd PM mine based on an argument made earlier in the thread. :V

How about we do this, but everyone holds off posting thier scripts until Halloween day
Edit: lol too late
-
Argh, I've got no time until 2 weeks later, so imma posting here. 'k?
... argh, only allowed to make 4 attachments.
I GOT MY FINGERPRINTS ON LAST PLACE. ITS MINE. NO ONE ELSE TAKE IT.

Hmmm... Seems I can't include the music file. oh well
-
At the very least put all of your files in one ZIP file. For each one of those TXTs I have to save as... and then find my Danmakufu directory all over again.

Well, yeah, I'll re-up them now.
...No time, I'm busy with prepping for mid-terms.
-
OH SNAP WHAT IS THIS.
I haven't Danmakufu'd at all in months.
But it's 4am and I've been up 20 hours and I feel like I'm drunk though I never actually get drunk. SO LET'S MAKE AWESOME STUFF WHILE I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT!
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE MAKES GOOD SHIT WHEN DRUNK?
(PS: That question was the EZ Modo of my script)
...Or maybe nevermind I think I'm too tired and I'm failing to come up with any ideas.
EDIT: No wait I did but I'm going to sleep anyway z.z
EDIT EDIT: So much for sleep, also, FOILED BY DANMAKUFU ITSELF! FFF
-
I know I've been lurking around here, and not posting anything, for too long now...(I've actually made a lot in danmakufu already, I just think the things I make suck compared to everything else here :V so I decide to just share with close friends) I guess I should post something already, so I decided to make an entry for this...
Download here (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yyu2ngyoyzt)
Enjoy! :D
(last place here I come!)
-
2 days before the deadline and i havent done anything yet.
so dont expect me to make something D:
-
HOLY SHIT IT'S ALMOST HALLOWEEN
-
Here's my pain for the last 6 days: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0ze4thinzi2
*Hides*
-
I only have a background and a boss sprite :V aside from that 0 danmaku.
Uuuu . . . . my life is too busy to even work on anything currently. BAH. But SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER WILL BE STRONG.
-
HOLY SHIT IT'S ALMOST HALLOWEEN
VERY THIS.
EDIT: When are the judges expected to have everything judged by?
-
I'm expecting that judging should be done by Nov. 2nd, since there is no guarantee that we'll all be able to judge things right after Halloween. There doesn't seem to be too many entries yet, so it shouldn't take too long to actually test/rate them.
The other judges can PM me their ratings when they finish, and I'll consolidate them into one post.
-
Timezone for the deadline is 23:59 GMT October 31, 2009? It was not specified.
-
As long as it's still October 31st SOMEWHERE, I'm fine with it :P
-
Yeah I'd judge the late entries anyway so
-
Oh man mine is gonna be awesome
If I finish it in time! Gonna get started on it tomorrow.
-
Oh wow I haven't Danmakufu'd in a long time 8D
Default-Reimu is not recommended as a player script for this. I've only tested it on default players but frankly it should still be good with anyone not cheap. Just expect that, if Default-Reimu is bad and Default-Marisa is good for this, well...
Also, don't forget to try Bullshit Lunatic Mode 8D
Necromancy "4 Cards Later" (http://www.mediafire.com/?lfmfnjm2xjt)
Credit to Helepolis for the SA Cutins
And ZUN for the materials/Drake for ripping em
All necessary data is included, no extra plugins/shot scripts necessary
(Also, I'm so goddamn certain I'm coming in Average Place)
-
Another competition for last place have arrive ;)
I don't sure that my entry will be original or someone already submit this. If anyone already done it, please tell me and disqualify my entry.
(I try not to view other entry until judged for my own reason.)
Since I'm playing only MF and Kanako beat me on Normal mode :-[. So I don't sure about my spell difficulty and stick with normal only.
Event is for fun and this thing pop in my mind :V
Trick or Treat, but nothing to treat. (http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/10/970318/nimble_halloween.rar)
Very thank to Blargel for his tutorial, Drake for sound effect ripping and Zun for his Great work.
... I'll try study about object shot after this contest, ouch...
-
So, as noone said otherwise, can I assume that my entry does not raise an error upon starting? Else I'd like to fix it so that it is at least something that is judgeable, no matter if the pattern is actually anything like I imagined... :-X

Error :(
SetMovePosition02(GetCenterX, GetClipMinY+96); <-- is missing the last parameter(frames). If you fix that it works fine
-
*facepalm*
'kay, thank you very much for pointing that out. Fixed version will be up in a minute.
(even if there are probably more sources for errors further down in the script <.<)
Edit:
Here it is, all the same scripts only with ", 60" added inside some places. (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ionlmmn2zdg)
Thanks again. Not being able to run danmakufu is... *twitch* ...suboptimal... *twitch*

That link just sends me to an empty mediafire folder. Might want to fix that (you know, if you want anyone to be able to test your script :V)
-
Oh yea, forgot to ask, can we make survival spells, like, is there a time limit for the spell even if we can make them.
Because I just made a card but the "GetAngleToPlayer"s make it difficult to stay under the enemy and I'd rather make it a survival than have it unnecessarily difficult.
It's not going to be a long survival anyways, ~40 secs at most should be enough chaos. XD
-
Oh, my submission has a survival, so I don't see why not.

No problem with that, I should think, just be sure it's fun 8D... boring survival cards suck harder than boring normal cards!
...I'm now wondering if anyone's crazy enough to go for a timeout on my submission @_@
-
Happy Halloween!
This took less time than I thought it would. (Thought it'd take me 1 more day)
As every idea I get tends to be pretty complicated to make. :V
There's 1 non-spell and 2 spells, so it's within the limit;
Three difficulties; and
there are gimmicks, when has anything I made not have gimmicks. :V

Also, not much fits Halloween, cause I fail at life. And the planned BGM was either not playing, or crashing Danmakufu. And I'm too lazy to make a story. And stuff.

Wow it took me a while to realize what GFS stood for
Also I was under the impression that the judges would not be participating. :V Oh well either way I didn't manage to finish, but I'll keep working on it tommorow anyways.
-
I think Naut won. o_o
Nothing left to do but wait for the judges to make it official.

From what I've gathered, Stuffman will be a substitute judge - so judges participating will be scored by the other two and Stuffman.
...I keep thinking Stuffman in the Duffman voice.
Also, at least one judge (Naut?) said he'd still score late entries.
-
IT'S STILL HALLOWEEN IN SOME TIME ZONES
Finally done! Didn't get all the bells and whistles I wanted in, but I think it plays fairly well. Occasional walling issues every now and then but you should still be able to get through it.

I also like to do this.

Gee. . . what the F***
I have downloaded every entry in this thread and some of them are way better than my entry. The judges are going to have a hard time on this one for sure.

I'm gonna need to go through this thread some day and take a look when I have time. And by when I have time, I mean when I'm not obsessively tinkering with my own Danmakufu scripts.

Naut is the winner now. O_o

You can thank Lishy for the character design, music remix, supplying graphics(Exception of cutin), dialogue, also some ideas.
I did most of the scripting, modified supplied graphics, made the cutin, also received some assistance from others and other stuff I don't remember.
(There is also an Uzumaki reference here.)

Also, Garlyle, fix your post already :P My script not working was your own silly mistake ^^;
I'm stuck wondering what mistake that is, because I can't get your script working either... and I've tried it with the shot replace script V4, both in and outside of its own folder in lib...your bosses just won't shoot any bullets for me.

@Bluemoon's contest entry:
Don't forget that the scorpion gfx during spell card 1 is a rip from Guild Wars, so I'll credit them. A majority else is made by yours truly and Bluemoon here though. And the character by scratch, who is someone from an upcoming visual novel I'm making in development.
For anyone wondering, yes, those are Chrono Trigger instruments used in the mp3. Not the TH sound font.
Also, for those wondering what Uzumaki is, it is a famous horror manga that instead used Supernatural and twisted imagination to scare readers, rather than slash and gore. The manga served as great inspiration to this entry. As for the music, I just pulled out the closest remix I made out of my ass that is My Documents, and it was surprisingly fitting.

My error was that there's -two- entries that unzip to folders named "Halloween". As a result, it would appear that the shot replace script got overwritten by the one from the other script.
Or something, maybe.
-
Well, I renamed the folders immediately, so I don't think that's the problem.
It's a shame too, I really want to play this.
-
Man, still not done :V
Oh well it's been a good learning experience and I'll keep working on this until I finish sometime near Christmas :V

Expect my review to be done tomorrow (fairly early tomorrow I'd say, by my timezone at least). Don't know how fast the other judges are progressing with their reviews, but I'd say it's pretty safe to talk about other people's scripts now, even though some of you have been so bold as to do so already...
:|
...But anyways, I think we're all close enough to completing the final scores as to not be biased by your silly, silly opinions. Hope everybody had fun with the scripts, I know I did. Good luck on the reviews.

If Onthenet or Naut wins we should also appoint another winner.
In addition, I now need to rename all the folders because I can't remember whose is whose.

If Onthenet or Naut wins we should also appoint another winner.
There WILL be another winner. :|

Hurtful! Not like we're reviewing our own scripts. I sort of agree anyway, judges should not be allowed to win by default.
In addition, I now need to rename all the folders because I can't remember whose is whose.
This was a big problem for me. I had to delete everybody's script and redownload them one at a time, renaming them all and keeping track of whose is whose in a seperate text file. Some of them also didn't think that everybody's script directory will not be the same, and forgot things like "./blahblah.png"; or GetCurrentScriptDirectory~"blahblah.png";, so I had to dick around with moving them in to correct folders. I didn't take any marks off for it, but please make your scripts playable no matter how dumbassed we are at extracting them, guys.

I'll say it here: My danmaku is poor in my script. Because I didn't ( want to ) pay(ed) too much attention to it. I rather save those ideas for my full game. So I wouldn't be suprised if I scored poor there ( like 1 or 2 )
The Tewi candy grabbing spellcard was A+ material, very creative imo. And the background was nice.
When I saw Stuffman's Kisume in a pumpkin I was like KISUME!!! but then Yamame appeared D: , neverless the web danmaku was for me partly jawdrop.
Puremerz pumpkin shaped danmaku was nice, but I only got to expirience it on youtube. His script was not firing bullets =.=
Kogasa suprise was a nice recolouring and good use of her umbrella familiars being shaped to pumpkins.
Naut's spider was simply mind fuck, I didn't die the first time though! Because I was dodging on the left. But I didn't knew what to do anymore after it started moving around.
The candy pacman spellcard at the open door made me lol and suprise.
These are roughly few highlights I remember, I missed probably more.

Do you seriously think I don't know how to drag & drop the content of a zip inside dnh/scripts? :V
Also the script crashes on my laptop, but not on my pc. And that is because of the OGG file. I had the same issue with my Kisume boss. OGG = bad if not proper tested.
-
I couldn't get anybody's music working when it was in .ogg format. I would highly recommend against using it with Danmakufu, since it never works consistently. Looping the music correctly isn't a high priority at this point, anyway. I did convert all the music files to a playable format though, so don't worry about not being judged as such.
And for this:

I might need til tomorrow to post my ratings since I need to head out to work soon-like.

OGG format doesn't loops your bgms proper either. My afro boss never loops proper and it is in OGG format. Going to change it back to mp3 anyway.
And Naut's post solved the problem. Puremrz used full path setting in his script and I had renamed his main folder to "Halloween2" because someone else also had a "Halloween" folder in his rar file. And this is the main reason why you should always use GetCurrentScriptDirectory or .\ as said above.
The foldername should be the last thing to influence your scripts imo, but yea. Mistakes are bound to happen with so little time to test proper. But the OGG still crashes on my laptop and that cannot be fixed unless it is mp3 or tested proper.

Top 3 scores:
Helepolis: 77/90
Helepolis, your script showcased the best of Halloween. The attacks were well designed, the effects were skillfully done, and the ending was one of the best dialogues I've seen. Congratulations!
Stuffman: 75/90
Stuffman, you took one of the more overlooked characters from the series and made a truly spectacular boss fight. Your attention to detail and use of custom graphics was impressive. Your script really was a thrill to play!
Thaws: 73.5/90
Thaws, you made one of the most flat out funny scripts of the contest, without compromising your design. I hope next Halloween I get my candy IN DANMAKU FORM!
Congratulations to our winners, who showed great design, style, and Halloween spirit! We hope to see everyone participate in our future contests as well!

Naut's Review:
Other than a vague reference to halloween in the dialogue, there really isn't anything related to the contest in this script. The final spell has a really cool gimmick that could've been taken a bit farther methinks. Lack of a background doesn't help the score either, though it was nice to see Komachi have an attacking animation, even it was the only real garnish to the script.
Design: 5.5/10
Nothing exceptional about the script. The final spell gimick and sinusoidal ghost bullets are the only things earning points. Was pretty easy too, perhaps two difficulties were in order since the script wasn't really gimmicky.
Theme: 2.5/10
Like I said, other than a brief mention of halloween in the dialogue, this script isn't really related to the contest at all.
Style: 6/10
BGM is a nice choice and seems very oddly fitting to the boss, and the attacking animation is a nice garnish. Not much other than that.
Total: 14/30
Even just adding pumpkins or something to the background would've boosted your theme mark considerably... Better luck next time.
Onthenet's Review:
Design: 6/10
First nonspell was the highlight of this fight, solidly designed. However, second was lacking in difficulty and variety, and third had some issues with the slowdown field. You definitely overused the purple fire bullets (what about Komachi's coins?)
Theme: 1/10
Komachi is scarier in her original game than she is here.
Style: 4/10
BGM is nice, and having a conversation was nice, but lack of spell BG or sound effects doesn't help your score.
Total: 13/30
Drake's Review:
Design: 6/10
The sinusoidal pattern is great, I found myself restarting a few times to find how to actually cap it with an actual method and not random dodging. First card is generic but still good, although it needs less purple. Last card is neat in theory, but it was made a bit awkwardly and ended up pretty easy.
Theme: 2/10
At least you mentioned Halloween in your dialogue.
Style: 5/10
Komachi is kind of an odd choice here. You did use ZUN bullets and made your own tractor beam thing, which was kind of nice.

Naut's Review:
Haha, love the custom boss sprite. Complete with left and right movements, as well as a synchronized attacking animation! Very nice. The danmaku, while not really original at all, was still pretty fun to play. What the hell was up with the background though? Haha, you could've found a less eyebleeding picture to tile all over the place. You're gonna lose points for the music though, it's not really that fitting other than during the "Great Whirlwind" spell lookalike.
Design: 4/10
Nothing very original at all, but oddly fun to play.
Theme: 9/10
Can't get much more halloweeny than a clusterfuck of pumpkins! Too bad your danmaku didn't reflect any sort of halloween theme. Even orange and black bullets would've bumped this to a 9.5, even 10.
Style: 7/10
BGM wasn't very well matched, and the pumpkin tiling was just gross. Your custom sprite is what's earning you points here, it was awesome.
Total: 20/30
A different background choice would've been a big factor in earning more points. Also, try to make more original danmaku, slightly editing Drake and Iryan's isn't really going to cut it.
Onthenet's Review:
Design: 5/10
Nonspells were a bit plain. First spell was based off of the tutorial, but still fun. Second spell was extremely easy or extremely hard depending on difficulty, and didn't really have a gimmick at all. Pretty mathetmatical designs are better used for nonspells if you can't theme it well.
Theme: 7/10
Nice pumpkin theme, but attacks didn't really show that off enough.

BGM wasn't too fitting, and background was very distracting to the point where it actually made the danmaku harder. Custom sprite was awesome though.

By puremrz
Naut's Review:
As expected from puremrz, this script is very pretty. The difficulty is on par with where I think it should be (without being excessive like I usually want it. Can't really expect that though). Excellent use of images (cut-ins and sprites were amazing) and background give an awesome tone to the script. The danmaku is very pretty and creative enough for the contest. Your bullets are not opaque enough though, I really, really dislike being able to see through your "sun" bullets and the arrowheads. Also, your nonspells have cut-ins... Heh.
Design: 8/10
Being able to see through your sun and arrowhead bullets really subtract enjoyability from the script for me, since they just seem to blend in with the background. Other than that, the danmaku is very nice, despite being sort of plain in some parts.
Theme: 10/10
Not much to say here. The tone, bullets, dialogue and bullet patterns all fit the theme perfectly. Well done.
Style: 8.5/10
I found the BGM, though awesome, doesn't really fit with a "halloween script". It does, however, suit the personality of the bosses, so I was generous. We didn't see as much creativity as could've been expected, the forming of a pumpkin and web out of bullets was overshadowed by the longer lasting plain attacks, like the first non-card and the longer half of the last spell.
Total: 26.5/30
All in all, the script is well polished and very nice to look at, but doesn't really "wow" at any parts. Solid marks throughout for following guidelines, but nothing stood out as exceptional.
Onthenet's Review:
Design: 7/10
Bit dull during the nonspells. Highlight was the pumpkin shaped danmaku during the last spell, which really has that intimidation factor danmaku is all about. Some points off for having a harder script than the contest called for.
Theme: 8/10
Magicians are common place in Gensokyo, so maybe not the best choice. Last spell gave off a strong Halloween vibe though.
Style: 8/10
Custom graphics and characters really helped here. Bullets had hard to see hitboxes, something you may want to change for your full game project.
Total: 23/30
Drake's Review:
Design: 7/10
I rather liked it, at least, it's not bad. The way is makes you dodge stuff is good, but the bullets contrast with each other and the alpha blending is super low on some bullets. You didn't really need to make the first spellcard a survival, and it's kind of clipdeath-heavy and other bullshit.
Also, your plural scripts weren't really formed right and it's kind of confusing as to what you were trying to do in the first place.

Naut's Review:
Not much of a halloween entry, just one spellcard with four difficulties. No theme at all, but the card is pretty Orin styled.
Design: 4/10
Pretty much an exact copy of Orin's attacks from SA, this spellcard doesn't really bring anything new to the table. The difficulties are pretty accurate though.
Theme: 0.5/10
Nothing indicating of halloween at all, unless you count "Orin uses ghosts".
Style: 7/10
The graphics and various ghost gimmicks are pretty nice, so that certainly earns you points.
Total: 11.5/30
At least mention halloween somewhere, and make your own danmaku rather than combining attacks from SA.
Onthenet's Review:

Pretty okay design, nothing too special. More attacks would have been nice. Zombie fairy idea was executed well.

Drake's Review:
Design: 4/10
I would have liked it much better had you have done the 2/2 guideline rather than the same thing in four difficulties. The one card lasts wayyyy too long. This pretty much forces you to stay bottom-center as long as possible, and the ghost fairies just pile up and it gets kind of annoying. However, there is a certain charm to it, even still.

By Nimble
Naut's Review:
Excellent custom graphics, nice sprite animating. The difficulty might be a bit excessive for most people though, which leads me to recommend making a second, easier difficulty. The danmaku was pretty inventive, and the script was fairly fun to play. I liked your danmaku pumpkins. A little more creativity could've gone into those regular attacks, and the difficulty is really tearing away at the creativity of the spellcards...
Design: 6.5/10
Difficulty might be too excessive for most people. Also, the random circle of lasers is pretty walltastic. The pumpkin danmaku and creative use of the giant pumpkin in the background are earning you points here.
Theme: 7/10
Other than a giant pumpkin in the background (and some pumpkin shaped danmaku on the last spell), the only thing making this halloweeny is the copious amount of orange. Which is enough to get you some points, but you could've done better I think.
Style: 6/10
Your custom sprite and cut in is very nice, but other than that there isn't much garnish. The BGM doesn't really suit the script (or a halloween script for that matter), and the background is just a giant pumpkin. Could've been improved, methinks.
Total: 19.5/30
Seemed too thrown together. The danmaku left something to be desired, but what that lacked the graphical nuances picked up on. Try to make the script less messy looking, and use a different BGM, something other than rips from the official games.
Onthenet's Review:

Very very difficult for what you would call normal. Nonspells seemed like random spam attacks. Laser attack was completely wall-tacular.

Random monotonous shit flying around everywhere = bad. The pumpkin eye-lasers could have been cool but you kind of ruined it by having the player bomb every second wave. The second card had those neat thing at the bottom, but you realy can't avoid anything here. Same as Alwaysthe9, don't make cards that require you to bomb every two seconds.
Theme: 6/10
Halloweeny, but still somewhat bland.
Style: 6/10
Is that an OC? The art is nice, animation is nice too. Giant pumpkin in the middle of the screen was pretty cool too but it was kind of ruined by the danmaku. Music... I guess I'm just not one for U.N.Owen. Didn't really fit.

Naut's Review:
Ever the creative one, Thaws delivers in this halloween script. I liked how you are portrayed as a person out trick-or-treating! Very creative. I guess my biggest problem with the script is that it doesn't look as pretty as it could, and there is no BGM!
Design: 9/10
Could've been a bit more creative with some of the attacks, but pacman and the candy bullets are a huge contributing factor to your high score.
Theme: 10/10
Pretty halloween-y to me! Any more and it would've been a bit excessive, methinks. Can't go wrong with trick or treating!

Naut's Review:
Ahhh! This had so much potential! I really liked the eerie mood the script started with. The BGM was an excellent choice and the background only added to the mood. It's a shame that there really isn't much to do with Halloween in here, and the script is too short!
Design: 7/10
I loved the danmaku patterns, but there just wasn't enough variety in there to merit a higher mark. Perhaps adding a bit more to the script in terms of different patterns, as well as fixing that weird restarting glitch at the end would've earned you a 10.
Theme: 5/10
Unfortunately, eerie tones and creepy music doesn't justify calling it a halloween script. Something a little more indicative of halloween would've easily earned you a higher mark.
Style: 7/10
I loved the background and BGM, combined with the slowly entering Remi created an awesome tone that I could never mimic myself. It's a shame that those are the only really style points here.

The 20-something seconds of intro was really boring. I was talking to Naut on IRC and I wasn't dying. The spellcard is once again some ridiculously hard thing. It would be better if it was a tad slower, so you could actually react to stuff flying at you. Although. The noncard is super awesome and in itself nabbed you your main points here. Needs to be a bit less random, but otherwise good job on it.

Naut's Review:
Very creative! This is what I like to see, going above and beyond the guidelines for the contest and making something truly different. Other than the messiness of the script (which is probably a result of the odd bullet colors and background mixing together), this script is solid.
Design: 8.5/10
Other than the odd bullet color choices and general abstractness of the patterns, the danmaku was varied and creative. The last spell was particularly awesome, and very different.
Theme: 10/10
Suited the halloween theme perfectly. The first attacks were kind of lacking in the halloween theme department (other than ORANGE), but the last spell more than made up for it.
Style: 7/10
The script was kind of messy looking, and not as fun to play a it ought to be. The background was pretty static, and the BGM needed to be something other than a Touhou game rip.

Clean up your danmaku a bit and make the background move or something (even just putting another texture on top that scrolls around would be fine). This script is a great entry for the contest, good job.

Loved the last spell. Something truly different and memorable. Attacks weren't very Tewi-like, but that's forgivable due to her not having been a proper boss in any of the official Touhou games.
Theme: 7/10
Nice background and candy catching game give you points here, but Tewi isn't exactly scary or even remotely Halloween related aside from the trickster aspect.
Style: 7/10
Pretty average in this aspect, some sound effects sounded strange. BGM was a bit unfitting.
Total: 22/30
Drake's Review:
Design: 7/10
Danmaku of a refreshing difficulty, but still pretty boring. Pumpkin Smasher really didn't need to be a survival and was far too long and random. Laser->Danmaku = super yes. The candy collection thing is great, but Tewi's attacks were pretty meh.
Theme: 6/10
Even though the focus was "collect candy", there wasn't much of a Halloween feel to it. More like an excuse to make some more scripts.
Style: 6/10
Most points come from the nice background and the candy-collecting. Otherwise there wasn't much to this.

Halloween Contest Entry (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hizzzk22ewi)
By Gamecubic
Naut's Review:
My my, lots of orange and black. To be honest, this was what I was expecting from many entries. Just a generic fight with some orange and black bullets and maybe a ghost or something. That said, it doesn't help your score, heh.
Design: 7.5/10
The patterns were nice, but nothing worth remarking about. They were varied enough to not get boring, but not terribly "oh wow", either. Maybe spicing things up would've given you a better mark for design. Trying something a little more out of the ordinary.
Theme: 5/10
Haha, orange and black bullets isn't going to cut it for a halloween themed boss. The spirits were a nice addition, but something a little more directly related to halloween would've been better. Even some brief dialogue or something.
Style: 5/10
Points for using Hollow World of God, but that's about it. The BGM suited her, not the actual contest, heh. No real garnishing effects either, so you got a mediocre score in this category as well.
Total: 17.5/30
Putting more effort in to this script would've led to a much better presentation, a more enjoyable script to play, and a much higher mark.
Onthenet's Review:
Design: 5/10
The danmaku ws good overall, but without any real highlights. First spell didn't require any real dodging.
Theme: 2/10
Wasn't really Halloween themed at all aside from "oooh blood and spirits".

Nothing much to rate here, you just used a couple sprite rips, didn't make use of any effects. BGM was unfitting.

Drake's Review:

The noncards were great. Speed is controlled nicely and such and such. First card is really boring and lasts way too long, though. I simply had no idea what was going on in the second card. After a while I just bombed it.

Orange and black bullets? I guess?

Kogasa's Halloween Surprise (http://www.mediafire.com/?qlddqxwz2zr)
By Onthenet
Naut's Review:
A very pretty script with a lovely Kogasa sprite and very fitting danmaku, but surprisingly little to do with halloween. Can't say I disliked the script, but it didn't really do it for me in the end. A few things could've used improvement, I guess.
Design: 8/10
You implimented very fitting danmaku for Kogasa, and even got in a bit of the halloween element with some orange bullets, but there wasn't much on the level of creativity here. You made a Kogasa script, nothing more as I see it.
Theme: 5.5/10
Yeah, an orange umbrella and a brief flurry of orange bullets doesn't really make this halloween themed. The first spellcard wasn't bad, with it's orange balls of death, but really, you could've linked the script and halloween a bit better.
Style: 7/10
Attacking animations for Kogasa were well scripted, and the spellcard backgrounds were at least suiting. But really, after that, there wasn't much garnishing involved other than "used Heleoplis' cut in script".
Total: 20.5/30
If you put a bit more effort into this script I think it would've been a good contestant for top 3. As of right now, there is nothing special about the script at all, just an average Kogasa script. Shouldn't take you much effort to transform this in to so much more.
Stuffman's Review:
Onthenet's script is rather straightforward in execution, it almost seems like a regular boss fight you would encounter in a touhou game.
Design: 8/10
In terms of pure danmaku, Onthenet's entry plays rather smooth compared to most entries. Headless Horseman was troublesome at first until I found out you had to actively go after the balls. Kudos for making a survival card that is actually still survivable at the end, most people can't seem to grasp how to do that! The designs are pretty simple though, none of the designs are really visually interesting.
Theme: 5/10
Lacking in effort! If it weren't for the pumpkin-colored Kogasa I probably wouldn't have known this was supposed to be a Halloween script. No dialogue or gimmicks or anything of the sort.
Style: 6/10
I must admit I didn't "get" Poe Anthology at first, but I figured it out when The Pit and the Pendulum came in. That made me smile, so extra points for that. But overall, it's a pretty normal boss fight, if a decently designed one.
Total: 19/30
Drake's Review:
Design: 8/10
I think you did the opposite of everyone else; you made it too easy for the difficulty level. Should be slightly faster, a few more bullets. I liked it, but it was just really easy, even Lunatic. The survival ended how they all should; at a climax yet not forced bombspam.
Theme: 5/10
Not very Halloweeny. Music was cool, Kogasa is orange, Poe is great.

Naut's Review:
What the hell da ze! This script has an absolutely amazing atmosphere, which is only emphisized by the wonderful use of graphics and sound effects. However, it's not perfect.
Design: 7.5/10
Damn lasers, cheap shot the hell out of me. It also took me a long time to realize the ghost that doesn't shoot the flurry of rainbow lasers is the real one to shoot at. Even after noticing that, the spell took a really, really long time to beat. Both of them, actually. Reimu A is pretty much necessary for this script (bad sign). Adjusting health values or making the danmaku more varied would've boosted your rating here.
Theme: 10/10
Quite halloween-y! The danmaku itself did not reflect the theme very much, but the atmosphere of halloween was definately there.
Style: 9.5/10
Excellent use of effects through the whole script make this sex for the senses. Neither auditory nor visual output was ignored. That said, there was also nothing above and beyond what you could expect in a script. Nothing particularly special or "holy crap", which would've earned a 10.
Total: 27/30
Amazing script and a solid entry for the contest. Be sure to balance out your cheap shot danmaku and your healthbars (that first spell lasts way too long). Something different in terms of effects would've earned you a higher grade as well.
Onthenet's Review:
Design: 8/10
Well designed, but not particularly impressive attacks. Seemed like many small attacks pieced together at times. Too much health may be an issue.
Theme: 8/10
You went with a ghost theme and did everything to be expected of it. I don't know who would be afraid of ghosts in Gensokyo though (maybe Youmu?)

The ideas were nice, but the implementation was a bit iffy. First card took way too long even when the gimmick was figured out, and there are clipdeaths galore. Second card was better and Mystia-like.
Theme: 9/10
Very halloweeny.
Style: 10/10
You pretty much took everything that you've done in danmakufu so far and crammed it in. Music is fitting, sound effects are fitting. Good job. The dialogue wasn't really needed and kind of detracted a bit, but there were no points lost here.

Yamame's Heart-Pounding Danmaku Thrill Ride (http://www.mediafire.com/file/uy55mz0y0jz/halloween_yamame.zip)
By Stuffman
Naut's Review:
Fashionably late, Stuffman delivers an awesome entry that proves it was worth the wait. The use of his own custom graphics and sprites adds to the lovely atmosphere of the script. Not terribly heart-pounding mind you, but certainly nothing to shake a stick at.
Design: 9.5/10
Excellent danmaku, very fitting of the script and the theme. Wonderful spider bullets and danmaku patterns. Still felt kind of generic and expected, especially since it's Yamame, but nothing major enough worth nit-picking about.
Theme: 6.5/10
Where's the emphisis on halloween!? Scary scripts are great and I guess it'll keep you in the halloween mood, but there really isn't much here that's actually telling of halloween itself. Even mentioning it in the dialogue would've helped!
Style: 10/10
Custom graphics and creative gimmicks add significant points to the style of this script. The BGM was well chosen for Yamame (being an arrage of her theme), and the effects were varied enough to be entertaining. Nothing that says "wow", but that's nothing to worry about.
Total: 26/30
More emphasis on halloween, rather than just Yamame and her spideriness, would've made this script amazing!
Onthenet's Review:
Design: 7/10
Nonspells had a lot of variety, but spells seemed a bit dull by comparison. The beginning of the second nonspell was particularly well done.
Theme: 7/10
You seem stuck between a scary spider theme and a fun thrill ride theme? It seems like kind of a jumble, but it works.

Custom graphics, well drawn cutins, and 3D background were all great. Spider skull was a nice touch.
Total: 24/30
Drake's Review:
Design: 8/10
I'm sorry I didn't play your entry before now. This is pretty great. The web card is great, but needs to scrap the random shots and use a pattern. This goes for the rest of the script, too. Less random randomness, more concentrated patterns with slight random changes to make it constantly different.
Theme: 9/10
Thrill ride fuck yeah.
Style: 8/10
Once again, thrill ride. Nice twist, and I loved the spider web patterns. The first card was pretty disorienting for some reason. Sweet and simple, and I'm glad you ended it with Kisume instead of just cutting it there. Not anything bad about it, but it was just missing a few things.

Luna Boss (http://www.mediafire.com/?zynmxwtwyqt)
By Bluemoon and Lishy
Naut's Review:
This well-made script is an excellent stand-alone playthrough, however doesn't really reflect the theme of halloween at all.
Design: 10/10
Varied and interesting, the danmaku in this script is top notch. Fun to play and very creative, many people could stand to learn from Bluemoon's precident.
Theme: 4/10
No mention of halloween anywhere, the only points earned here are from the creepy tones and the fact that the character is a vampire. As far as I can tell, it's just a normal script submitted to a halloween contest.
Style: 9/10
Lishy did an excellent job with the graphics, but the BGM needs to be something other than a Touhou rip. Even an arrange of Shinki's theme would've been fine... The PC98 sound doesn't really suit the script either, other than "it's a final boss' theme".
Total: 23/10
An amazing script in and of itself, but doesn't really qualify as a halloween themed contest entry. Adding more emphisis on a halloween theme would've made this script top tier. Even just saying something like "it's halloween and my powers are stronger tonight!" or something really corny like that would've given you more points for theme!
Onthenet's Review:
Design: 8/10
Lots of great concepts here. I loved the spiral darkness effect, but the increasing speed didn't really do much aside from make my eyes hurt. The black/white part of first spell is a bit unfair, forcing you to find a way into a field of spawning bullets.
Theme: 4/10
Not really any mention of Halloween at all.
Style: 9/10
Custom graphics and amazing 3D BG were impressive. Only part that could have been better was BGM choice, wasn't really intense enough to fit the fight.
Total: 21/30
Drake's Review:
Design: 7/10
Very well-made. I haven't paid much attention to you guys before, but this is pretty good. I found that you put in two or more patterns in everything, which kind of seemed like a cheap excuse to add patterns. Luckily, for each non/card, I only thought one of the patterns were really good, so they kind of cancel themselves out <3
In particular though, I like the disorienting last part of Uzumaki (derp spiral). Hitboxes of those spiral bubbles need to be fixed, too.
Theme: 5/10
Not very Halloweeny per se, but still, Vampires and all that jazz.
Style: 9/10
Very nice style. Scrolling background is one thing that makes this different from the others. The ring of fire/whatever is really cool-looking too. Again, fairly well-made

GFS (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uyymiitymgt)
By Naut
Stuffman's Review:
Naut's script falls into the category of being great fun to watch, but not being something you want to play yourself. This is a script that actively tries to kill you. Though in Naut's defense, it probably wouldn't have the same effect if it was easy to beat on your first try.
Design: 4/10
This script is basically Naut being Naut. Like Onthenet, I had to go in and turn off Expert just so I could see the whole thing. You seem forced to die at least once, or at least if there are ways to get around it, they're not at all intuitive. Turning off bombs didn't help! Aside from dodging the spider's body, the actual danmaku parts seem to play alright. The white glob attack is the most interesting to play, I think.
Theme: 9/10
Naut gets considerable points for making the straight-up scariest script (even if there were others trying to be scary, his would win in that respect).
Style: 10/10
I have to say, looking in the code for this thing, the spider is quite a feat of danmaku engineering. I was genuinely impressed with the smooth movements of the spider, the way it splattered Mystia against the frame, and the way it was able to climb all around the screen. Naut also somehow managed to find one of the freakiest techno songs ever, and the spinny background and lighting effects made the ambience perfect.

All-around, the danmaku was nice. I like how Mystia pushes you into the side where GFS comes out of. But the first attack is incredibly hard to dodge and forcing Expert wasn't really the greatest idea considering most people can't make it all the way to the end. It could be much better just with some criticism from other viewpoints, though.

Haha, first place from behind! My perfidious plan played out perfectly! :V
Okay, I didn't really expect anything else. I guess the acceleration of the bullets was so high that the boss wouldn't throw them up high enough to prevent you from sitting it out at the top, right? Well, I hope at least it looks somewhat pretty and is neither utter bs nor loleasy when doing it the way its supposed to be done. Probably failed at that too, though. I honestly don't know.
Anyways, congrats to Helepolis, Stuffman and Thaws! :toot:
Hopefully I can play your scripts soon, too.
My problem: danmakufu seems to not work on Win2k at all due to not having the possibility of japanese setting. I already bought me some Windows XP, but that one somehow refused to be installed on my hard drive for no adequately explored reason. Windows ME and Vista are not options.
The big question is: Does anyone of you have experience with danmakufu and Windows 7? That could really become an option for me right now...

I didn't expect to win, honestly; I was using this as a learning experience. Plus, I wanted to see if I could recreate some of Komachi's SWR attacks (that's why there were so many purple fire bullets; they represented spirits). Guess that's something I can improve on later. :V

I didn't expect to score high or anything. And, for not having scripted in Danmakufu for months/that only taking a couple hours... I would have done more, but I'm also busy with a large visual novel project so I didn't wanna give up too much time @_@
(And given proper homage to Orin - afterall, she is a goddamn Black Cat who ferries corpses and controls ghosts - and therefore the most 'Halloween' touhou girl to me.)
But, er...
Much better for including music, proper cut-ins, sound effects and all that jazz. Would have been better if it wasn't all taken from me and Hele lol
I hope you don't mean to imply that I took some code from you. I built the damage/timer blip/etc manually ; but if all you meant using your rips, then nevermind me XD
Also, I did build it up based loosely around what Orin had done before to keep it feeling like an actual Orin card (I didn't intend direct cloning, but I noticed she loved somewhat irregular bullet spirals/roads, and the fairies, of course...). Originally, the fairies she summoned were going to explode in a bloody mess rather and then stalk you as zombies... but I didn't wanna fuck with custom bullets or anything. Again, other stuff to do.
Regardless, thanks for taking the time. I know it sure wasn't the most inventive, but I hope it was at least solid danmaku.
EDIT: You notice there's two mindsets about what makes something Halloween? A few were horror/monsters... and others were more candy/trickortreating... the scary vs the entertaining @_@

I am suprised I won by a few points on Stuffman and Thaws, as my Danmaku was nowhere near impressive. Even if many people kept on hammering: "userX will win for sure" I had the feeling it was going to be a close call between scripters. I played the scripts and was amazed by them. I focussed all of my time on effects and script structuring to learn and push my skills further beyond. Which will come very handy in my own full game.
Unfortunate I doubt I will join any competition in the future (Christmas was being spoken in the above posts). What I have seen on IRC yesterday was not enjoyable and quite sad. I rather spend my time on something else then.
Oh yea, probably many people will take this post as: "Easy to say from a winner bla bla bla. Acting all like this and that blabla."

Effects and stuff are simply not my thing... I enjoy making the danmaku pattern more. :P It feels awesome when you succeed in making something you had in mind. (Like that :V card, Getting the sequence of things to happen right was quite difficult :()
My danmaku don't feel like danmaku at times because it's so gimmicky, I tried making more danmaku-ish danmaku but they just don't turn out that great. (One of the reasons I can't make good non spells is I feel that non spells shouldn't be very gimmicky but I only make gimmicky spells all the time :( )
I'm glad my script is entertaining. Looking forward to the next contest, hope I'll have time to participate/I'll still have enough creativity to make some whatthehecklol cards. :P
Though it feels like this "creativity" I have is just trying to making shapes out of danmaku. :x XD

The danmaku, while not really original at all, was still pretty fun to play. What the hell was up with the background though? Haha, you could've found a less eyebleeding picture to tile all over the place. You're gonna lose points for the music though, it's not really that fitting other than during the "Great Whirlwind" spell lookalike.

Nothing very original at all, but oddly fun to play.
Theme: 9/10
Can't get much more halloweeny than a clusterfuck of pumpkins! Too bad your danmaku didn't reflect any sort of halloween theme. Even orange and black bullets would've bumped this to a 9.5, even 10.
Style: 7/10
BGM wasn't very well matched, and the pumpkin tiling was just gross. Your custom sprite is what's earning you points here, it was awesome.
Total: 20/30
A different background choice would've been a big factor in earning more points. Also, try to make more original danmaku, slightly editing Drake and Iryan's isn't really going to cut it.

Nonspells were a bit plain. First spell was based off of the tutorial, but still fun. Second spell was extremely easy or extremely hard depending on difficulty, and didn't really have a gimmick at all. Pretty mathetmatical designs are better used for nonspells if you can't theme it well.
Theme: 7/10
Nice pumpkin theme, but attacks didn't really show that off enough.
Style: 5/10
BGM wasn't too fitting, and background was very distracting to the point where it actually made the danmaku harder. Custom sprite was awesome though.

Drake's Review:

Even though it's obviously an experiment, I still liked it, for a newbie. Except next time, don't make it so obvious that you ripped off my cycloid functions lol (The last card is fairly well-executed, even still)
Theme: 7/10
Pumpkins, music is Halloweeny, etc.
Style: 6/10
Background is killing my eyes, don't do that. Making pictures yourself = points, danmaku is still pretty.

Honestly... I wasn't even expecting getting higher than half...
I didn't mean for the spells to be/seem to be rips from the tutorials and other people's work... I wasn't even thinking of the Great Whirlwind there... I was just thinking "Ohhh, the cycloids could possibly wall someone, I should make then shrink from time-to-time..." so I made them rotate... thinking back... I think I should've made them move diagonally also, instead of just vertically down... I actually got the cycloid and trochoid codes from random math sites in the internet. :P
For the BGM, I was trying to take something creepy-ish, but still epic at some parts... I guess I really should've thought of something else.
Really sorry about the background... I know I should've taken that out and just replace it with something else...
Thanks for liking the custom sprites. ;D
Congrats to the winners!

I wanted to add things to the background of my script to make it seem like one of those cheesy haunted house rides (like, say, cardboard cutouts of a vampire Parsee or mummy Yuugi popping out on springs before the fight) but I ran short of time. I tried to keep it kind of goofy by having Yamame pop out of the skull and casually tossing it aside. :V
Oh well, I'm pleased with the results regardless. Helepolis has a talent for making scripts with top-notch visuals.
-
Though visuals is not everything, but it sure adds to the feeling of a game. Someone teach me proper math so I can atleast create some decent danmaku patterns.
-
I can't believe Onthenet actually did that :V
Obviously it was lack of MAN that did you in!
:V Not man.ly enough eh?
I can live with that :D
Edit: Actually, then, the MAN should have won the contest, then.

Where's the emphisis on halloween!? Scary scripts are great and I guess it'll keep you in the halloween mood, but there really isn't much here that's actually telling of halloween itself. Even mentioning it in the dialogue would've helped!
Total: 26/30
More emphasis on halloween, rather than just Yamame and her spideriness, would've made this script amazing!
I facepalmed. Overlooking Kisume in a tick or treat pumpkin basket, the script was submerged in the sort of cheesy scary that defines the Halloween atmosphere; and spiders and cobwebs fit that theme as well. Not to mention the part where a bunch of wolf spiders pour out of a skull that screams at you! Just because it doesn't explicitly say that it is Halloween doesn't mean its not, and there is more than enough stuff that already clues you in to that fact that outright saying "this is Halloween" might have ruined it, IMO.

Now that you do have the time, why not make a second release with that stuff in? I'd really love to see that.

Nah it's fine, it's true, the spider danmaku was themed about something Yamame is already associated with. So yeah it's not true halloween imagery.
Now that you do have the time, why not make a second release with that stuff in? I'd really love to see that.
Not really worth updating since I doubt it'll make people want to play it a second time, but I can certainly make a doodle on the subject.
Also, unstickied. I have an idea for the next contest that I'll bring up with the other judges soon.

I've been playing it on a fairly regular basis, though I doubt that'll change your mind. I just really want to see this! XD

Will we get to see this idea any time soon? Certainly a longer development period would be good so that the scripts could have more polish...(like what you were planning on doing)

Congratulation to Helepolis, Stuffman and Thaws ;)

Excellent custom graphics, nice sprite animating. The difficulty might be a bit excessive for most people though, which leads me to recommend making a second, easier difficulty. The danmaku was pretty inventive, and the script was fairly fun to play. I liked your danmaku pumpkins. A little more creativity could've gone into those regular attacks, and the difficulty is really tearing away at the creativity of the spellcards...
Design: 6.5/10
Difficulty might be too excessive for most people. Also, the random circle of lasers is pretty walltastic. The pumpkin danmaku and creative use of the giant pumpkin in the background are earning you points here.
Theme: 7/10
Other than a giant pumpkin in the background (and some pumpkin shaped danmaku on the last spell), the only thing making this halloweeny is the copious amount of orange. Which is enough to get you some points, but you could've done better I think.
Style: 6/10
Your custom sprite and cut in is very nice, but other than that there isn't much garnish. The BGM doesn't really suit the script (or a halloween script for that matter), and the background is just a giant pumpkin. Could've been improved, methinks.
Total: 19.5/30
Seemed too thrown together. The danmaku left something to be desired, but what that lacked the graphical nuances picked up on. Try to make the script less messy looking, and use a different BGM, something other than rips from the official games.

Very very difficult for what you would call normal. Nonspells seemed like random spam attacks. Laser attack was completely wall-tacular.

Yet another pumpkin themed boss. Could have been emphasized more.

Custom graphics and giant pumpkin are awesome. BGM didn't fit at all though.

Drake's Review:
Design: 3/10
Random monotonous shit flying around everywhere = bad. The pumpkin eye-lasers could have been cool but you kind of ruined it by having the player bomb every second wave. The second card had those neat thing at the bottom, but you realy can't avoid anything here. Same as Alwaysthe9, don't make cards that require you to bomb every two seconds.
Theme: 6/10
Halloweeny, but still somewhat bland.
Style: 6/10
Is that an OC? The art is nice, animation is nice too. Giant pumpkin in the middle of the screen was pretty cool too but it was kind of ruined by the danmaku. Music... I guess I'm just not one for U.N.Owen. Didn't really fit.

Drake > Is that an OC?
Yes, Reizend Cherish is my mascot sister. Playful girl ;)
Wow, I don't expect to get this high point cause nothing but random in my script.
It's really fair. I'll do much more better than random next time!
Only two things that are not random are ..... aiming eye-beam in Jack Field and two-step lockon shot in both non spell attack. How shame.
Something about my entry.
--- Massive random shot at the top in regular attack is her trick to hide herself and her HP bar.
If you play non-homing charecter. Without enemy target indicator, you'll get this problem. (I really want to make a bat instead of bullet...)
Second attack will be much more deadly because you can't seek for her and bullet at the same area.
Some bullet will change their direction toward you too.
--- At first time, I try to create Pumpkin eye in Jack Field too. Its eye will looking for you before fire its laser, by useing Bullet21 aiming in its eye, stationary. But if I stay close to its eye. I got free 10+ graze every second. So I leave this eye idea. (I've to learn more about Object...)
..... I just mention that my entry is Pumpkin Danmaku :'(
PS : Moving to try other entry script :V
