1. Intro
 AoRY is a classic, Zun-style danmaku (not danmakufu) game I am currently developing. This game features Ran Yakumo, Yukari Yakumo and Chen as playable characters. The plot takes place some time after the events of th12 (though it's not really important). Each character has his own story line, with Ran's storyline still being considered to be "the main" (it all begins with our favourite foxy... or not really).
 Ran's storyline's plot lies around Chen gone missing after she went fishing to the Misty Lake - and residents of Scarlet Mansion, undoubtfully, have something to do with it... yet not exactly known what.

 The game will, as usual, have 6 stages in Story Mode and 1 Extra Stage, 4 classic difficulties - with "easy" being slightly easier than normal of PCB/IN and "normal" being as difficult as normals of SA, UFO and LoLK.
 Each of three characters has two options of weapons (shot type and focused/unfocused bombs), six in total. Controls are as usual: Z,X,arrows, left_shift...

 All characters used are from original Touhou series (no original character will ever be in this game). Personalities of all characters are based on canon (being, sometimes, "exaggerated" for purely cute comic purposes).


2. Current progress and future plans For now, I am using Zun's sprites, art and music. After the game would be 85+% done, I'll look for artist and musician.
 Currently, I am fully concentrated on making pure Boss Run (stages 1-6), since after I get a new music, preboss part of stages will have to be ramaked according to the melody.

 Nearest plans:

To be done much later:

4. Inviting anyone to a Skype conference

 I'll need a musician some time.
 I'll need an artist some time.
 I need an extra source of motivation.
 I need someone to discuss my progress with and get some feedback.
 I may need new, fresh ideas from someone.


 This person can be YOU. Yes, you.
 If you wanna track the progress of creating AoRY more closely, take part in it any way you want, know more (than written here) about the project and so on - feel free to PM me (or write just here), I'll invite you to a skype conference. I am glad to see any person there (3 people currently, including me).

6. Download links from  old post

Older versions of AoRY project, being done throughout years by not "very proffesional programmer" (me :blush: ), having lots of other things to do in real life.

(unbalanced and to be scrapped in few places)

to start the game, you'll usually need to press L (press later P to start it over again). С removes bullets, V destroys enemies.

a normal Demo is intended to be released in some monthes.

I have already played stage 2. The game can run without any crash.

To find a music maker, I know someone who make Touhou style music on Youtube. It is not hard if you find them by yourself. You may do not need to request any new songs from them. They made several songs. You just choose which songs to use and ask them for a permission.

Wanwan created a lot of songs before The Last Comer has been released. Some Japanese Touhou fangames use these songs too.

For 2d sprites, I recommend you to use a THC style instead of Zun's sprites. Some Japanese danmakufu games use those sprites too.

Perhaps I can try providing some? Here are my works: https://soundcloud.com/temoto-kun (https://soundcloud.com/temoto-kun).

Hey, theoryofnekomata, I listened to your melodies, but all of them are "hard rock/heavy metal" or whatever that genre is called, they don't sound like touhou. Only "Back To When We Once Was" composition can be used for bad or normal endings.

skydash, I thought a lot about what "THC style" means, google redirects me to "Tetrahydrocannabinol" (kind of drug) ??? Finally I think I understood, do you mean those "danmakufu sprites" that have been used in Concealed the Conslusion?

I would like to know more about the project and see more progress when it gets released.

I happen to make music ( see this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEK6iuVD4Xc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEK6iuVD4Xc) ) but I'm following a very busy schedule. Sorry for the inconvenience..


[ I'll  be editing this post once I try out the game itself ]

Oh, forgot to say I am not limited to a specific genre, so anything goes. I don't only make metal.

yes, you understand right.

THC style sprites are the sprites in Concealed the Conclusion.

For now, so many characters sprites in this style was made.

Even sprites for characters in Touhou15 were made.

Well, what exactly do you want to know?  :) I can tell you a lot... I can tell you all the dialogues for all 7 stages, for all 3 story character routes, with prologue and endings included (expect my high-quality humor here :blush:), or I can tell about game specifics like all planned player's shottypes and bombs, planned stage bosses, their preliminary spell card patterns, etc...
 and that will take lots of time, both to read and to write ::)

You have a skype too? Do you mind PMing me your name if you wanted to discuss it?

Well, maybe you could do a Skype group to chat about it? [I want to join if you guys made a Skype group - send PM if you made btw, I'll send my Skype name and we can chat a little about your game...]

And one last question - Is the game completed or not?

yup, it's a good idea, since there is enough people.

no, it will have all 6 stages as any other normal Zun's danmaku game. Currently, I "have programmed" three stages, but they all will be remade into smth interesting and balanced, once someone makes me a music for these stages.

 I updated the 1st post (completely rewrote it ::) ).
 Wrote report#1. Not update#1, just report for now (no matter how much I like new last spell of the 1st Boss, it's to sson to release smth).

 For now, I'll write short reports and update main post, to show you that the game project is not freezed.
 Still accepting people into the Skype conference, it's fun to work on project when you have someone to discuss it with.
