"What is love? A pure concept miserably lost! But enough talk, have at you, sinners who've forgotten true love!"
This is what I understood from the banter. I didn't quite get what was the story (well, since it's only stage 6...) but the fight is really well made, not at all unlike an official Touhou boss.
I'd have loved to see a complete 6-stage game of this, the original character feels well built, and I'm also curious about what incident happened, and why it happened.
What I do think needs a bit of polish are the player shots and bombs. I can't really pinpoint what I think looks off though... And the sprite of the two protagonists side by side? That's cute but it also somewhat troubles me when I'm focusing on dodging the bullets incoming. When using peripheral vision to look at the bullets and still have the character sprites be on the corner of the area I'm looking at, I have sometimes trouble telling where is the hitbox. I know it's between the two girls but my Touhou instincts tell me it's "in the middle of the character" which thankfully hasn't led me into too many accidents of "I thought my hitbox was there".
Everything else is really good. The visuals and the music would have deceived me in believing it's a true Touhou cardinal entry!
By the way, I'm not skilled when it comes to mythology. I've caught on that the OC is "a greek godess", but I couldn't pinpoint who she's based on. Maybe Hera, the godess of marriage?
venus verticordia, roman goddess of essentially, productive love in service of the state at large
...which ties into how, (i guess i can say it at this point), sibylla was meant to fix japan's declining birth rate, but was dragged into only gensokyo instead
1. ooo thanks
2. sorry, this problem with the hitboxes has gotten to a point that for the update that includes the ex stage, ill just make the characters have IN-style switching
3. yes, basically sibylla was trying to send everyone to horny jail and she caused an incident that removed the passion from all the gods and youkai
This has a lot of potential to become a full game, it emulates quite much of the touhou gameplay and its entretaining to play, didn't quite get the plot, but nevertheless it's not complicated to understand why touhou plots happen in the first place.
oh, since the game starts where it ends its super easy to make the other 5 stages but we wont. we will have an extra stage some time though...
I’m amazed at how accurate the music, art, and gameplay are to a ZUN-made game. The OC character was rather fitting as well, and any game with ReiMari is a good one in my book.
I love how Touhou this is, from the name to the graphics to the music. Wish I was any good at bullet hell games so I could see more
oh, its ok to not be good as long as you can enjoy what you play
suuuuure
On-point! Great danmaku patterns, and the OCs rock. Only big critique is that the lack of sound effects makes it a little hard to judge what's going on at points.
yeah the lack of sound is disturbing but one day well add that
Huge props for making this so faithful to the canon titles both visually and musically. Patterns were challenging and apt for some kind of EX boss. Also, uh... I guess the whole thing about Gensokyo losing all of its passion kinda reflects how the Outside world sucked out all of that passionate energy and became the chaos that it is today huh?
oh, i dont think frogmask thought of that when giving us the story but that is an interesting observation. i guess it is like that, and only the expressive allies will remain happy.
but thanks, were glad so many people think that this is faithful to the original touhou
really, it's all part of a joke about a certain rate of something falling in japanI suck at the mainline games, so I swear I'd have to play this for a long long while before I got to see the ending....
Buuuuuuuut, what I saw was pretty good. It is uncanny how it all just sort of looks and feels like one of the mainline games.
I liked the designs and the music a lot. Good Job
Glad to hear you liked it!
oo thanks (next time well try to put in an *ending* ending)
Hi! the game looks and plays great, very similar to main entry ones, and the music is really really good. Just wanted to let you know that the game crashes for me when I select Yukari & Yuyuko right before the dialogue starts. It plays well with Reimu & Marisa up until I beat the boss, then nothing happens you just keep going forward with no enemies or dialogue, maybe another bug?
Hey, the crashing at the start of the script is kind of random and not Yukari&Yuyuko only. We didn't really have the time to figure out what causes it sadly. And we also didn't have time to make a proper ending after the boss either. 😅
Glad you enjoyed it though!
hmm, the first problem really shouldnt happen when you select anyone. we dont know why it happens but it shouldnt happen when you open it for a second time. the second problem were well aware of and it happens to both teams. im not sure how we never noticed it, but thats unintended and well fix it next time
but thanks for the compliments, glad you like it
oh wait also, alices gay baking adventure was quite the experience i must say
I swear I'm not biased
sure ryann sure
ugh
