A new Touhou fangame...in Alice?!?

http://www.alice.org/index.php The homepage for Alice.

So, this all started when my 7th period teacher told our class that our new project was to create a game in Alice. So I decided to make a Touhou game. Right now, I only have some of the main menu done but hopefully I can have a demo out soon. I plan for it to be the normal length of a Touhou game plus it will have Extra and Phantasm stages. It will only have Normal and Lunatic difficulty though.

For those who used Alice before(Probably only me :derp:). Do you know what I could use do to make creating bullet patterns easier. The only thing I have in my head right now is taking some  circles, put them into a pattern, and then copying them until I have a pattern.

Does Alice allow you to path bullets using vectoring like you can do in danmakufu?

I once had a class in Alice, and guess what - I had the same idea :V
Unfortunately, it would be a real hassle to implement from what I've done with it. Alice isn't particularly versatile. I won't say it's impossible... but I can't help but discourage the idea.

I really hope you can accomplish your goal of making a game in Alice  . I have used this "Alice" program before, and I remember it being very complex and difficult to work with. All I did with it was make animations, which strangely look similar to something out of MikuMikuDance...

But anyways, good luck with you're game !

I've worked with Alice. Good times. At the time it wouldn't be able to handle something on the level of a real game so good luck with that.

Well, I guess I can give everyone an update on how it's going.
I just found out today that you can create your own person in Alice, so I don't have to rely on the characters included with the software as much.I don't know why I just learned this today :derp:
I am almost done with the main menu. All I have to do is make it so that you can get to the character select screen from all of the difficulty select screens.

Umm...(KingofBaka looks up vectoring :derp:)
Theoretically, you probably would be able to do that. In reality, though I wouldn't know where to start with that.
Hopefully, I can have a demo soon although I at least want to finish stage 1before I release a demo.

so my first programming class in University is to make game with... Alice, anyone have good introductory tutorial for this? I wanna make a touhou game with this too :3


edit: k.. how do I import Alice model or sprite into this thing?
