/jp/ - Otaku Culture

i love her

please dump

>>37121584
give it at least a day
should be fairly quick like UM, minus steamapi.dll shenanigans

>>37121608
yeah unfortunately it has steamapi.dll and i dont really know how to dump steam games so i cant do it myself

>>37121678
you could at the very least just upload the gameeee

>>37121705
would you guys be able to make it work? ill upload it then

>>37121737
probably, that's better than nothing

>>37121501
Just bought it, thanks for the update anon!

>>37121705
why are you chinks so poor that can't even afford a touhou game?

>>37121802
nta but if i wanted to give zun/tasofro my money i'd go to comiket and the like, fuck steam and their drm bullshit

Instabuy.
Old news but man the title theme slaps.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/xrgyh8tofwkjm4w/17.5.zip/file
here's the files, i discluded the steam dll because i wasnt sure if i needed to

is there a website with the scripts of the pc-98 games? or some screenreader or similar? i want to use rikaikun while playing

>>37121815
so how many times have you been to comikets to show real support?

>>37121938
even if i say yes or no it's going to turn into a battle of "no u liar", i just don't want to buy through steam
>>37121887
you can check touhou wiki

>>37121835
thanks it just werks. no need for crack

>>37121995
glad to hear it, enjoy

>>37121983
ok thanks, i found everything except the emulator. is there a pc-98 emulator that doesn't require japanese locale?

>>37121983
>even if i say yes or no it's going to turn into a battle of "no u liar"
I'm surprised to see a grown-up anon nowadays

>>37121737
Goldberg emu, Steam stub remover, etc.
There's plenty of ways to make it work.

why would you ever play a touhou game past ufo let alone pay for it

I suck at this, I know it's just graze graze hit but I get nervous and start button mashing

>>37121835
You're the best, anon

>>37122599
because the best game came right after UFO

>>37122599
Newfags want to feel a sense of belonging to an elite community and everyone is too afraid to admit that they got into in Touhou because of the secondary content.
So everyone just bullies each other into playing official Touhou games and pretend that they like them too and therefore maintain a constant self-replicating peer-pressure.

FUCK YOU YUUGI\

>>37122798
It doesn't matter if you got into Touhou through secondary content, as long as you play the official games afterwards.

>>37122599
>>37122798
Why not?
>pretend that they like them too
But people genuinely do?

>>37121835
Should I get this one or the one on Moriya Shrine?

>>37122798
>pretend that they like them
What?

>>37122864
>It doesn't matter
>as long as you
Why should anything matter as long as you enjoy something or not?

>>37122869
>But people genuinely do?
Of course some people do, and there's nothing wrong with it, but I highly doubt that new players are getting into series because they're a hard-core fans of 80's shmups (and they love how ZUN didn't add any new normal enemies since EoSD) and not because they saw some good fanart or music arrange somewhere.

>>37122599
UFO was ass and SA is the biggest disgrace that has happened to Touhou whereas LoLK is literally the best game both in terms of gameplay and OST, the fuck are you going on about?

>>37123228
I really have to ask what possible reason you could have for naming SA as the worst game

In fact, aside from PC-98 games, 7, 8 and 10 every game before 13 is bad in some way or other. Anyone that unironically says they are not are either blinded with nostalgia or purist dipshits stuck in the past. And bet half of them still think SDM cast is the best thing ever.

SA is peak Touhou

>>37122334
Use Neko Project 21 (Or 21/W if you want to run PC98 Windows for whatever reason)
Grab a copy of FONT.ROM for Japanese text to show up inside the emulator.

>>37123244
The life pieces requiring you to capture the spell and Mof's bomb mechanic being completely butchered fucks everything over. For example, in Extra you start with 2 lives and need to capture a spell to get a life piece. But sometimes you need to bomb to not die. When you bomb, your power goes down by a whole 1.00 and the difference between 4.00 and 3.00 is too high, meaning you deal so little damage that you either end up having to bomb again and get even weaker, somehow survive with the shit 3.0 damage or just die. And if you die your power goes by 1.00 again so if you bomb and THEN die you might as well reset. Those 2 mechanics are so fucking atrocious that I'd argue 11 is harder than 15, not because of the challenge but because of the bullshit within the game.

english when

How do you spell break?
Fuck Yugi is hard, her first spell lasts forever and the second is pure spam

>>37123244
Excessive use of revenge bullets.
Orin is a nigger.
Retarded wacky shot types.
Resource economy is a broken shitshow with game deciding for you when is good time to bomb or not and removing all excitement from running out of bombs because that means you also run out of power and can't do shit.

kanako is fucking rough to play holy fuck

Me am retarded but I can't get past the tutorial. There's that part with the training dummy and the two black splotches dropping oil and I do not know what the game wants me to do. Any sincere help?

>>37123575
Take out your phone and put your translator app in image mode and point it at the screen.

The three matriarchs wanna celebrate the release with jaypees!
https://i.4cdn.org/h/1635484112591.jpg

>>37123559
they're all rough to play, reimu and probably flan are the only good ones
marisa's real fucking rough since it's impossible to just move directly upwards, you have to move up and to the side which makes shit like murasa's final fucking cancer

>>37121501
Finally.

>>37123585
same

SHE FUCKING SPILLING IT

>>37123694
BUT I THOUGHT
HER SAKE NOT EVEN DROP
SAD WORLD

>>37123585
>flat but fat ass yacchie
ouchie my dickie
>>37123186
>and they love how ZUN didn't add any new normal enemies since EoSD
please don't remind me of this, it makes me very sad. i wonder if he's just lazy when it comes to details like that.
>>37123259
every game has it's flaws, even the first windows ones
it's just really about playing the one with the gimmicks and mechanics that piss you off the least amount

>>37123694
Calm down, she's clearly drinking hot spring water

>>37123694
Having it styled like a fighting game but having half the characters who appear unplayable is one of the worst choices in the series.

>>37123831
Having it styled as a fighting game and making Okuu arena borders damage you while she flys around at the fucking corners

Dude, who the fuck thought that's a good idea

>>37122599
UFO? more like OOF

>>37122599
imagine liking PooFO

>>37122599
I started playing in 2006 and Touhou really began at 13/HM for me.

>>37123489
You are FUCKING DUMB and a tasteless faggot

>>37124523
go do your homework

stop the off-topic discussion this is the gokubun or whatever it was called thread for the new hu

>>37123186
I found my love for shoot em ups through touhou!

This game is very flashy, confusing and painful to play. There's still some f*ghting game DNA in it and it shows.

There seems to be misconception, that games after Imperishable Night were any good.

It's not true.

>>37124506
>started playing in 2006
Sure you did, you LARPer

>>37125118
IN has its flaws. Eientei gang is one of them.
PCB is peak 2hu. It's only missing a few QoL features.

>>37122713
thank you friend, im happy to assist
i suck dick at this game sadly and its very frustrating, but i really love the spritework and music otherwise

>>37125156
PCB is probably my favorite touhou and the one i have the most fun with, MOF comes second
however i still love all the games in the series (fuck LOLK though im so shit at it)

>>37125118
incredibely smart and good very true one of best posts ive seen in a while

hot take, the official 2hu shmup games were never good, the series sells because of the fandom and popularity the series got from secondaries. theres been many unofficial doujin games that are way higher quality than anything zun has ever made.

>>37125430
That's not a hot take because it's true.

>>37125442

>>37125430
That's not a hot take, that's just lazy bait until you list
>unofficial doujin games that are way higher quality than anything zun has ever made

>>37125430

Anyone got a link to the BGM files? So far up to this point the OST uploads on YT have been low quality Nico copies.

>>37125524
it would depend on the games honestly, for every game with AAA quality there's thousands of shit half assedly put together with shit graphics, jank controls, and sometimes no music... and sold. even in the era of dojin steam games, it's still true.
t. survived the era of 2000s dojin games

>>37125430
I haven't seen a single person who doesn't think that is true

>>37121584
>>37121608
Why pirate instead of supporting ZUN?

>>37125660
Because I'm a neet.

>>37125430
I have a few notions of some that are far better gameplay wise thanks to an unique mechanic or so but can't remember their names. Though, when it comes to everything else I have never seen a shmup fangame that isn't just trying too hard to replicate ZUN's style.

>>37125430
I disagree. Getting a 1cc gives me a feeling that very few games do.
I tried playing Gensokyo wanderers and I just didn't find it all that fun.
I also didn't like the official fighting games, but that's mostly because I don't like fighting games very much.
I also didn't like PoFV.

>>37125880
>I also didn't like PoFV
Not that anon, but PoFV is the only official game I like.

>>37123559
filtered
if you spam kanakos down attack you can cheese almost every boss in the game

>>37125914
One of the reasons why I like Touhou so much is the boss fights, and in PoFV they just didn't feel all that good. Most of the time I didn't even understand why I won.

>>37126122
I liked it because of online pvp and randomness of the gameplay. You just dodge on instincts instead of learning everything like a book until the whole playing process turns into a monotone work.

>>37126122
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IKCM0-7BwM
PoFV is not so random as people think it is, it just requires you to understand the mechanics of it better than other games do. It's rng yeah but the actions you do can hugely influence your results.

>>37123598
is the game actually hard or am I missing something/braindead/both? my first clear took an hour 20 with reimu, okuu walled me hardcore until it felt like I just randomly beat her
can't imagine clearing it without retrying

Oh my god, when I fly into the fire wall against Okuu, it just stacks a thousand sound effects on top of each other.

>>37123831
I assume Tasofro's next spinoff will keep these sprites, make everyone playable and add a couple more characters, and probably be a fighting game again.

>>37126624
I hope it's a fighting game. I can't stand this bizarre pseudo-platformer nonsense.

>>37126303
>learning everything like a book until the whole playing process turns into a monotone work.
That applies to every game that doesn't have rng.
I personally love finding out how to consistently beat a certain spell card; finding out where I'm messing up and correcting it, or discovering a better way of doing it. It's a similar logic to racing games.

Marisa sucks in this game

>>37126682
As opposed to Unconnected Marketeers?

>>37126682
Marisa sucks in every game.

>>37126692
>>37126736
I was hoping that she would be good this time. Why does ZUN and Tasofro hate Marsia so much?

>>37126783
Doesn't ZUN make Marisa the icon of every game because she's the cutest and also the best?

>>37126783
Can't speak for Tasofro but ZUN doesn't care about balance between characters in shmups.

the game was fun for the most part but the final boss makes me never want to touch it ever again

>>37126736
I only play Marisa.
She's the cutest and Master Spark is the coolest attack in the series.

>>37122599
because I'm not a filthy secondary? There's enjoyment to be had.

>>37123694
whaT tHE FUCK
TASOFORO!

>>37126923
I feel that way about Soku singleplayer but maybe I'm just a fucking scrub.

posting in epic thread

How do you beat Kanako's third spell card? The one in which she spams pillars

>>37126948
>because I'm not a filthy secondary?
And in what way exactly a filthy primary is any better than a filthy secondary?

Holy shit Murasa is fun to control

>>37127862
I'd play a full Murasa game with a bit more polish to her moveset

>>37122599
Because I still like Touhou and thus I want to keep playing its games.
What kind of fucking retarded question is that.
I'll continue being a pirate though.

>>37126636
I kinda like the concept but I would love a fighter again honestly, I think I just appreciate them trying something different

>>37121835
does any1 have english patch i am noob and i dont want 2 learn moon runes

So this is what happens after years of threads on /v/ and that one invasion I'd rather not bring up. Instead of taking it easy and enjoying new game releases, people instead use their threads to force game wars and insist that everything is shit.
Poor poor /jp/, I hoped you'd resist the downwards spiral of the internet a bit longer.

It took me 18 minutes to beat the game with Kanako and an hour 40 with Murasa.

>>37128017
It doesn't feel like Kanako was playtested at all. You just spam down attack or hold C and you win and the only thing of interest happening is your screen getting clogged up with a bunch of wind effects.
Murasa takes longer but damn does she have fun doing it.

>>37128006
resist?
this board has proven time and time again to be incapable of anything beyond complaining and doing absolutely nothing.

Just beat the game. Jo'on was unfun as hell and kept getting filtered by Yuugi and Toutetsu's final card until I realized that Jo'on was in graze as long as Shion had the circle around her. Flan was just boring with tapping XXC for most of the bosses. Fucking Tasofro.

>>37127959
No patch yet, give it a couple days

>>37123831
It's a boss-rush sidescroller game
and for its kind it has lots of playables

holy fuck I'm having fun. This bitch is filtering me really hard

>>37128006
/v/ really brought in underages who have personal vendetta against certain games and autistically trying to goad the masses into following their vendetta for their own comfort.
How bad it is may be relative, but it's irking to even think about.

>>37128529
I'm glad you're having fun anon

>>37128006
Hard to enjoy anything when the new game, in fact, plays like shit.
I'd say we should wait until they release another fighter but let's be honest, it's gonna be the same floaty, projectile-riddled shitfest with one singular real attack button.
The new ZUN games are fun, but everything else always fucking misses the mark.

>>37128282
alright i am just using google translate camera for now and it works fine

>>37128671
I'm fine with this game. It has its flaws but it's not that bad. Maybe it's just you.
Same with fightans. You might call the gimmicks and simplified controls shit in comparison to actual fighters but they never tried to be one to begin with.

>>37128586
>/v/ really brought in underages
I'd be surprised if /v/ isn't underage central of the entire site.

Who has the best sprites?

>>37125430
Zun has style. "Higher quality" doesn't matter if your fangame is bland.

>>37126682
I had more luck with Marisa than Reimu.
Yuugi filtered me hard when playing Reimu while with Marisa I managed to get to Murasa's 4th attack.

>>37128834
You just posted it.

>>37125135
I'm just replying to give you a (you), but I did.
Had some friends who were turbonerds who showed me a new IP that had over 100 doujin comic releases at the time and they were hyped over a recent patch to the fighting game that added Meiling.
I barely played the shooters until the 2hu boom reminded me that the series existed, and then I started caring in earnest around SA. 13 and above felt like a new era and consequently it was the first game I completed Extra on.

>>37126923
I did one run with Reimu and Okuu stage was the most annoying part

>>37121501
I can't believe Tasofro actually made a fun game aside from IaMP

Playing Murasa has to be the worst fucking shit ever, game crashes on my on the last spellcard against Yuma and I'm fucking done for the night

Does anyone have a save.dat where I can skip this abysmal bitch of a gameplay

>>37128586
>hurr durr love my shitty game or you're an underage

>>37132800
Who are you quoting?

>>37132800

>>37132949
>>37133060
the fact that you react so easily to such a cheap provocation shows who really is a minor

>>37133245
Go back.

>>37121501
How's the gameplay like in comparison to Rabi Ribi?

Took me 6h to get my Marisa Normal 1CC, but I got it! I feel like I've kinda learned to play the game in the process. Kutaka still sucks, though. I wonder how different Hard mode is?

>>37133525
keep proving my point

>>37133606
It's pretty much nothing like Rabi-Ribi.

>>37125118
IN was a bit too good I agree, but there's SA and Lolk so it's not all bad.
...I would even include MoF but that's solely because it introduced Kanako

There seems to be a lot of misconception in this thread. All mainline Touhou games are good.
Except for Ten Desires.

>>37135600
Ten Desires gave us Seiga

>>37135600
>All mainline Touhou games are good.
Yes I too love blasting copy pasted levels over and over for 10 straight years.

>>37135633
>10 straight years.
But EoSD came out 19 years ago.

>>37135600
>Ten Desires
The only ZUN's game I've 1cc'd

>>37121835
I get pic related when i try to run it, same goes for the Moriya Shrine upload. How the fuck do i fix this?

>>37135600
At least TD is still a bullet hell
WBaWC is just a route planner

>>37135678
God damn I'm old.

>>37135600
TD felt like a very mid tier game. Youmu slash is a fun shot type, half the music is good and half is nothing special. Some spellcards feel a bit too easy for how late they come. But I still enjoyed it.

>>37135678
But EoSD isn't the first mainline game

>>37135730
Alright, let me fix my post.
Every game since Story of Eastern Wonderland has been the same. Honestly, Touhou might as well only have 2 mainline games.

>>37135777
>Every game since Story of Eastern Wonderland has been the same
*ZUN's fanboy is typing...*

>>37128713
>they never tried to be one to begin with
I wish they did. At least to try enough to attract some attention.

>>37135911
>attract some attention.
What would that achieve?

>>37135972
more players

>>37135911
IaMP is the closest to a traditional structure since it lacks flight, but in general Touhou and bullets are too ingrained to not make the games projectile heavy and you need systems in place to keep such powerful projectiles from becoming too overwhelming. Perhaps you could make it like Fighterz if you're really dying to make it more traditional.

How do you skip dialogues?

>>37136993
whatever you set your start button to

>>37137069
Thanks

How do you beat Okuu's last spell?
Just a well timed kick with Reimu when it't about to go down?
I noticed you can send it back but I keep getting hurt in the process.

>>37132800
Nothing wrong with hating a game until someone flipped at every positive remarks of it and deliberately pushing false narratives in tantrum as if to make sure it become universal scapegoat.

>>37137647
The same goes for people who love the game. Nothing wrong with loving it until someone starts to flip at every negative remarks of it and deliberately push false narratives in tantrum as if to make sure everyone who doesn't share their point of view will become universal scapegoat (accusing them of being minors or “outsiders” is one such example).

>>37135777
Honestly everyone must have know this already. I don't think anyone play Touhou because it's an made-to-be-the-best game series like any other franchise.

>>37137876
>accusing them of being minors or “outsiders”
It's hard to think otherwise when the poster uses the words "hurr durr".

>>37137433
Run.

>>37137876
You're right.
Though I say it's more natural for people to prevent negative influence (people don't like being hurt and want peace after al), so it's jarring when someone is driven to spread it.
The former is a responsive defense mechanism, but what's the intention of the latter? it's usually specific.
Mind you I'm not talking about usual shit-talking or prejudice you see everyday. They are natural.

>>37138007
But >>37128586 and >>37128752 did that before >>37132800 replied with "hurr durr".

>>37136013
I remember they said they made IaMP out of lacking experience to make something different, and they wanted the games to be more like the floating fighters since the start.

Anyone has the portrait of Joon on this game?

>>37138102
Seems like they accused with no proof but ended being right anyway.

>>37138134
which makes both of them equivalently wrong

>>37135600
I played TD way after release and it felt pretty alright. I don't think the game deserves any hate it gets. Newer games have a lot of "op" things that make them much easier to 1cc in comparison, at least in my experience.

>>37132800
lurk two years before posting.

>>37138102
People mistook me for calling out general behavior, but I'm more talking about few distinctive posters.
When I said "underages with personal vendetta" I meant it. They have really specific behaviour I've only realized after communicated with one.
If it's just usual shit-talking, I wouldn't have blamed /v/....or I still would

>>37137433
The dumb birb kills herself if you just leave.

>>37138115
Well that makes sense. Even when they did finally get the guts to make it, it took a few tries to get it right. That said, as much shit as HM gets, I wish the custom loadout thing wasn't ditched.

>>37138102
I'm not using language nor engaging in the same behavior you're accusing me of. If you think anything I said is equivalent to the hurr durr poster then you either have brain worms or got upset over nothing.

>>37138403
This is starting to get confusing. First of all, could you clarify which of the two posters you are (>>37128586 or >>37128752)?
The "hurr durr poster" called out >>37128586 on using baseless accusations against certain group of people and was right about that in my opinion. But >>37138007 ignored that part and started picking on the phrasing he used instead (which I admit was improper).

Hello? Touhou 17.5?

>>37138590
Yes, what about it?

>>37138403
>>37138355
speak like actual humans.
>>37128586
do this shit in some other thread. namely a thread made for complaining.

>>37138652
It's just a short discussion on the fighters, what do you expect an actual human to speak like?

>>37138709
>what do you expect an actual human to speak like?
like someone who doesn't use ill mannered language to shitfling.
Looking back, it's a partial misquote on my end.

>>37138547
I'm the one who posted about underage and I don't fuss over words, I only clarified the matter, and I already said I didn't accuse off a general group, only few unique posters. I wouldn't have bothered over normal shittalk.

>>37138652
Why only me and not the above poster and ones after who thought wrong about my statement and caused the ruckus? I was only responding.

Kutaka seems to be working awfully hard, she should be the ferryman and Komachi can run errands for Eiki, like saving Gensokyo from animal yakuza.

How the fuck does murasa actually work, or more specifically how is she supposed to stay safe. Toutetsu's final cards just have too much shit going on and I have no idea what I should be doing

>>37138864

>>37138864
Stay opposite of Toutetsu and use Z+Up then X+Down to jump over and in between the geysers. The visual timing looks a bit weird, but it's the only reliable way I've figured.
The card before that reeks of RNG bullshit with the bubbles you have to stand on, but she should go down before you take too much damage.

>>37136013
>Touhou and bullets are too ingrained to not make the games projectile heavy
This right here, this is what I hate the most about derivative games.
If a game isn't a STG you have no reason to put danmaku in, forcing danmaku hurts these games as every single aspect of the genre they belong to has to get violently twisted and pushed in order to leave room for danmaku to somehow work.

>>37138896
True but people can make what they want, anon. Like other said it's purely experimental, though sometimes it might just click in certain areas enough to have some people get into it.
It's not like they have real obligation to make EVO-worthy games.

>>37138896
It's not like its a really terrible idea but the implementation can leave a bit to be desired. There's certainly better genres to fit in heavy bullet patterns and I kind of wish they kept more to the dodging aspect instead of just grazing right through as it kind of makes it confusing when you're supposed to be safe or not. Still charming games for what they are and I'd rather see doujin experiment with stuff you don't really see anywhere else

>>37138896
I can get why people don't like it, but personally I find it really interesting and the fighters add a lot of interesting twists to the genre. That doesn't mean I think everything about the games are perfect, but it's very important to keep the origin game in mind when you're making a spinoff, otherwise the style of the characters might not be conveyed properly.

>>37138896
Danmaku is a core aspect of Touhou, everything that happens in the games, lore and the setting overall is based around the idea of these girls fighting each other with danmaku. Adding danmaku elements to these games not only makes them unique, it makes them be Touhou, and these games already twist the rules a lot by adding physical attacks.

Is there some sort of gimmick to Kutaka I'm missing? Fighting her as Marisa has been really rough. Sometimes I'll graze past the flames and they'll all disappear, but also sometimes they won't which has been bugging me

>>37140235
Yeah I don't get her either, I just attack her before things get rough since she doesn't have much health
do a small jump then double up attack with Marisa

Legit the only thing i despise in this game is how they don't have a check if sound effects are already playing a lot of the time so you just get soundraped a fuckton

like holy shit how do you not check these things, or code it to check by default

>>37140531
he made a valid point.

I didn't unlock any new characters after beating it as Kanako, was I just too shit or do I need to play Marisa too?

>>37140278
I wonder if Tasofro lost some staff members? They should be old hands at stuff like that.

>>37141996
Not him but sometimes it's better for a series to stay niche, or at least keep a niche mindset even if it's been unintentionally dragged out into the public.

>>37142490
>I wonder if Tasofro lost some staff members?
Probably. The the end credits of this game is quite short compared with other official fighters, almost as short as Super Marisa Land or Shot Shot Nitori.
Here are some names I found missing (only the ones who had always been in the offical fighters, so no alphes or 長谷川イワシ):
ののたろう: programer.
鰯: sprite artist.
スペクター: sprite artist.
あきやまうに: musician, the guy who made broken moon. He is now the music director of Danmaku Kagura.
とんのり丸: aka Tonnor, non-Touhou doujin dev, one who made Hellsinker. he's not a member of tasofro, but he has been helping on the official fighters since SWR.

>>37143460
From what I heard, Unabara was basically doing everything.

>>37143460
Are these background/SE sprite artists?
Because it seems they hired different artists for character sprites each time they make a new engine (Though I only know Migel Futoshi for HM-AoCF)

>>37145095
I can see why the game was delayed for so long if that's true.
Maybe he almost pulled a ZUN where he worked nearly everything by himself.

>>37148648
well, let's all congratulate him on his hard work, and all who were involved in the project.

I had a far easier time with her than Murasa since I mostly just spammed up attack (Potion throw) and dashed if I absolutely had to. I could just Facetank most damage that I couldn't evade with basic positioning and attack iframes since her hp went down really fast.

did anyone manage to get it to work on linux yet

Anyone else feel the need to change their entire button setup for every character?

>>37125430
I've heard the same sentiment expressed by music snobs whose idea of "good" is unlistenable tripe.
And by food snobs whose idea of "good" is unpalatable tripe.
And by literary snobs whose idea of "good" is unreadable tripe.
If being a philistine means liking things that are actually enjoyable, then call me Goliath.

>>37125430
>the series sells because of the fandom
Some people are into the secondary market inspired by touhou and don't like the bullet game itself. Mainly the music and doujin art.

Adorable

Game is pretty fun. I need to get used to the controls though. Can you heal? I haven't noticed if absorbing water does that. Maybe I just need to get good.

>>37156244
No, you indeed need to get good

Spent nearly an hour on Toutetsu's last two spellcards as Murasa, but damn it felt good getting that clear (game crashed during the credits though)

I kinda love how every character plays drastically different from one another. Just makes me wish you had a training stage to practice as characters who aren't Reimu and Marisa

>>37155697
the demo worked fine in wine before, think you just need to install the usual d3dx9_43 shit from winetricks
are you having trouble with it? i can try it out for you

Anyone have the OST yet?

>>37158134
>game crashed during the credits though
As expected of Tasofraud.

any advice on beating Toutetsu's last spellcard as Joon, this is fucking bullshit

>>37159913
nevermind, got it down pat. still fucking blows though, especially that second to last spellcard

>>37158134
>game crashed during the credits though
You too? Happened with Murasa as well for me

i just 1cc touhou 1 with quicksave

am i based or cringe?

Advice for phase 2 yuuma's 2nd and 3rd spells as Murasa?

>>37121501
thank you anon

>>37162288
For the second spell just keep diving into her and throwing out attacks, you should be at 100% charge with how much blood there is in that fight so your attacks will be properly upgraded. For the third spell, go diagonally up and down for the first two waves then air stall for a bit and slam down on her once she's done attacking. Absorb everything you can when she moves sides to make sure your attacks stay upgraded.

>>37165003
Wait meter upgrades murasa's attacks? This whole time I've just been using it to spam spells.... and I did figure it boosts the downward anchor slam since that one consumes 10%.

>>37158475
Defiant Anon, but the first demo didn't work for me ether. The game gives me a blink screen with music. Ruining Steam form a terminal suggets a miss mach beaten 32-bit and 64-bit.

I do not like this game's music

No but you get a water bar for the Yorigami to know when Shion will screech

game fun

They really did well.

>>37138894
>>37138864
Bubbles is actually pretty easy. If you keep "dodging" you regularly max out meter. It looks clusterfucky, but you can definitely see what's going on and generally wreck her.
The last takes practice indeed. You can dodge it pretty easily but you need to understand it first. Don't get greedy

Is this game any fun tho? Looks kinda boring but I'm not certain yet

>>37179797
It's a lot of fun and occasionally frustrating (Okuu and Murasa boss fights are already becoming notorious)

>>37121501
Was anyone able to run it well on Linux?
on my end, using Wine crashes at the start really bad, and using Proton alone, all the menus and music are fine, but when you start, the background of the level it's all glitched. I'm also using version 1.2

>>37180018
I think that's just how the tutorial looks? The game plays fine for me, but my tutorial level also looks like that. I just assumed that was the intended look?

>>37180837
NO shit really???

>>37182645
It's ink on a paper-like texture. I don't think a graphical glitch would be this coherent?

>>37182713
I'm gonna try ASAP

>>37180018
>>37180018
very much no. check the terminal

>>37179797
It is fun but only if you manage to conquer sluggish controls.

A tale in 4 tweets.

This is the Udongein X developer, who deleted these after bragging about his literal megaman clone and mocking people for facing health issues https://twitter.com/potemki11/status/1443869121381339137

I just want this shitty sentiment immortalized.

>>37186774
What a cunt.

>>37186774
Don't bring up tw*tter drama here kudasai, I'm not proud of this moment either. I felt really cocky after they delayed it again and stepped out of line. After getting some sleep I really did feel awful about this whole thing and apologized.

>>37186774
Corona isn't real though so what actually happened?

>>37186774
Regardless of whatever happened, I think it's important to note Tasofro only has like two programmers, the main one of which was apparently really unwell for a while. Seems like people have the misconception they're some kind of big company sometimes just because they're affiliated with ZUN, but they're basically just like any other doujin group. Also don't post Twitter shit here.

what hero will never be a woman

>>37187097
When this happens, game after game after game people kind of get tired of the small company excuse. Tasofro's been delaying things since all the way back with IaMP, if they've clearly been struggling for that long why the fuck haven't they hired a third programmer?

>>37172314
>playing unofficial games
wrong thread?

>>37187441
>why haven't they hired a third programmer
I don't know what happened and I'm sure Tasofro could have played their cards better, but this is enterprise software thinking. I'm pretty sure Tasofro are just a bunch of people who like making games together as a hobby, and I doubt the games make enough money for them to live off, so they can't "hire" anyone.
Well, your sentiment might still be correct, since I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to find someone willing to program their games for free, but there may be good reasons for them to not want to: if the problem is your current programmer's low productivity, recruiting someone new isn't too different from replacing your current programmer. If you're a group of friends doing game dev together for fun, it might make more sense to just delay the game.
Also, I think they used to have more programmers. I've heard that they are now down to "1.5" programmers.

>>37187747
>If you're a group of friends doing game dev together for fun
This is my best guess. That aside I honestly doubt they make enough off the games to have a lot of full-time programmers working around the clock. People really think way more of them than they actually are, which is just a small group that's only well-known because they're officially recognized.

But it's hard to say. Either way I seriously doubt they're making a killing or anything off the games even despite being fairly popular as far as fangroup stuff goes. Sure they probably make a good bit wholesale, but consider how much of that goes into paying everybody off+ other expenses. I wouldn't say they're exactly swimming in money here. The most likely bet is that they're just a bunch of mutual friends who know each other and like Touhou, which is probably the reason ZUN also took a liking to them too.

>>37186946
>>37187097
I don't consider it drama, especially with how common this sentiment was and still sort of is. You people can get absurdly ridiculous when shitting on a game company that isn't even beholden to you--it's not as if they took preorders or had a crowdfunding campaign, and regardless their circumstances shouldn't be assumed/dismissed/anything.
I post this to make it clear being shitty is being shitty.

>>37188081
Just having good intentions doesn't mean that the outcome will be good. If you approach people in a combative manner, they are not likely to listen to you. In some cases (such as this one), it'll work out, but the credit then goes to the persons you attacked, since they took the opportunity to reflect on their behavior. If the seeds of self-reflection aren't already there, and you still approach people like this, it'll just cause drama.
Take it easy!

>>37188344
I don't consider this combative.

>>37188344
I also think highlighting bad behavior is no "attack"

at least tasofro were transparent about the delay cause, but imo they'd get a lot less criticism if they were open about it to begin with "hey the lead dev is in shit health and not many people are working on it to begin with, please be patient" compared to "covid lol, see you next month" and only admitting what was happening last minute.
at least for iamp and other game delays, there weren't many options of updating people aside from personal blogs, with HM and later there shouldn't be a problem with telling your audience what's going on. unless it's just some japanese pride bullshit.

also >twitter aside it seems a bit unfair to compare a dev group starting from scratch (assuming) vs someone using a premade engine, that's a head start the other doesn't have. your game is still cool though mr reisen x man.

Is there a movelist ingame/has someone made a movelist yet?

>>37189221
I've got a movelist for Marisa:
-mash buttons

>>37189334
>tfw just did Marisa run blind on hard
>tfw still don't understand if it's actually possible to combo on purpose with her
Why does literally every single one of her moves besides her Megaman shots move her so much. Why are her up dashes so janky. Why is everything besides her dash a projectile move in what is supposed to be a beat-em-up boss rush game. Why are so many of them lobbed projectiles. Also, how the fuck are you expected to deal with all the Kutaka cards where blue flames cover basically the entire screen.

>>37189545
In general, most moves catapulting your character across the screen is what makes the game feel unsatisfying to play, at least for me.
I wish I could be jumping around and moving precisely but it's like the game just doesn't want me to.

>>37189556
I feel like its a carryover from their fighting games where they expect moves to have extra positioning purpose and be punishable, but it's a single player boss game where it feels like you're launching yourself away from the boss you want to be mashing on constantly. Especially on all the stages with a gimmick/uneven ground. Like fuck Yuugi's last card whenever you're one level below her. Dash right, hit the wall, dash up then right and go right over her. It doesn't help that a lot of hitboxes are incredibly ungenerous.

>>37189616
The fighting games didn't move you around nearly as much as this.
