Touhou 12.8 - 妖精大戦争 ～ 東方三月精 ~ The Great Fairy Wars. F-ff-freezing a-a-article

[Tengukami]

... That would make more sense. Would seem kind of weird to release a game called "12.8" and then be like, "Welp, that's all, everybody, good night!"

[Nobu]

Wait, you guys were thinking the rumor was 'This is his last Touhou game ever'? I'm pretty sure me and Naut were referring to when he said something to the effect of "This was a rush job for a game and thus it is what it is, sorry if there are any bugs" implying that there wouldn't be any patches to the game.

[E-Nazrin]

People throw around shit about XXXXX being the last Touhou game after EVERY release. Just, this wasn't an instance of it. :V

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure he said this will be the final game (can't pull a quote, but I'm pretty sure I remember it, I swear >_>).

Admittedly it is possible to read it as "the final version of the game," but the more obvious interpretation is "this will be the final game in the series." Semantics blah :ohdear:

[Drayen]

Anyone else notice the extra boss' lasers doesnt kill? At least the first 2 spellcards dont.

[Polaris]

Anyone else notice

Spoiler:

Marisa's

lasers doesnt kill? At least the first 2 spellcards dont.

That's actually the point of her lasers. They're supposed to gradually decrease your motivation (health) when you enter them.

also spoilers although idk if we actually need them at this point :V

So they kill over time or it,s just a joke?

And my bad about spoilers.

[Alfred F. Jones]

And my bad about spoilers.

I was only monitoring for spoilers a week after release. You can go ahead and mention the extra stage boss' name now if you feel like it.

[nintendonut888]

I don't know the exact rate, but staying under one of those lasers for about five uninterrupted seconds will probably take at least two lives off of you.

[Tengukami]

Yeah, the light beams were covered earlier in the thread.

[Jaimers]

Huh. Well this is weird.

If you choose the "replay again" option during a replay, the game instead shows you the manual.
to actually restart the replay you have to choose an invisible option. 

[GenericTouhouFailure]

wat.

[Tengukami]

Not getting that bug. Replay Again is there, and it can be selected, even tho it isn't highlighted when you're on it. The manual never comes up for me in replays.

[Jaimers]

That happens when you restart at the end of the replay.

I'm referring to when you try to restart the replay while the replay is still running.

EDIT:
Don't know if this is intentional, but Luna Child suddenly stopped shooting altogether during a spellcard for me. :<

Jaimers is just too good, so the game stops trying to fight back *shot*
Also Holyshit I got my ass handed to lunatic mode even before stage 1 boss D:

[cultr1]

I think ZUN should hurry up and release Touhou 13 already instead of putting it off with a third 12._

just sayin' :yukkuri:

[Drake]

I think you should hurry up and realize creating a game takes an excessive amount of time and the only reason 12.8 had so many bugs and possible design errors was because he was rushed into making the game for C78. Taking it slowly gives the best results, as you ironically mentioned.

just sayin' :yukkuri:

GFW Lunatic No Deaths almost No Focus 1cc.
Is this a TAS or just some Japanese dude with too much time on his hands

[orinrin]

English patch is out.  Get it here.

[E-Nazrin]

... on 9/9.

... this cannot be a coincidence.

[MOTHERfan42]

I knew Cirno Day was awesome, but talk about the icing on the ⑨ cake! I'm totally playing more GFW later in the sexy English language!

Download this immediately afterward.

EDIT: make a backup in case it randomly crashes for some reason, if it wasn't obvious

[orinrin]

Pretty sure that first line wasn't there before.  :V

Also, thanks to Drakums for dat score.dat.

[Formless God]

wtf why isn't that line in my game

[LHCling]

Because you haven't patched it right, obviously  :V :V :V

Also, for those of you who haven't witnessed it (on Nico or other), here's one Lunatic A2 run Perfect Pacifist (which obviously includes no freezing) and is also obviously Tool-Assisted (it even says so in the comment).

Oh, and submit SUBMIT your scores guys you're making scoreboard-tan lonely  :<

Later EDIT: left off half a word

[Tengukami]

Apply english patch. Overwrite other th128e.dat with this.

Possibly a stupid question, but this isn't going to erase any progress I've made thus far, is it?

[LHCling]

It wont; your progress is saved in the score.dat file (which is in Application Data like how Double Spoiler's is, by the way).

[Tengukami]

Ah, good. I look forward to testing this out, then!

Also:



Yep, Star Sapphire is still my favorite fairy.

Also, I'm bad with names.

[Suikama]

Lunasunnystar Sapphiremilkchild is obviously the best

[Helix ⑨]

The strongest freeze? If only I did this yesterday  :ohdear:
