Holy crap it's been a month and nothing here!? Don't worry! It's not dead (and neither am I)! I've been (slowly) working on it, doing sprites and whatnot for future betas so I don't have to do them later (that, and people won't have to restart the game everytime I add someone new!). Story is also progressing, albeit extremely slowly. I *MAY* do a video on the brand new characters too, but that's heavy spoilers there. Just know that the cast went from 24 something characters to 48 characters...

That's a lot of playable characters
I'm stuck, I don't remember where I have to go after the SDM
Yeah, I had to restart yet again

Which time that you go to the SDM? lol


If it's the first time, you go to the Hakurei Shrine. If 2nd time, you go to...um....Forest of Bamboo I believe. Either there or back to the shrine....don't remember x_x

I thought touhou games were like bullet hell games. IDK. looks good though

They are bullet hell games. Though kinda hard to make a bullet hell type of rpg tbh ^^; lol

First time
I did go to the shrine, then I tought I was supposed to go to Rinnosuke's house to trigger that event, but I didn't

Did you make sure to talk to Hope after the event there then? You have to to trigger the event at Kourindou afterwards.

Ah, thanks. It seems I only thought I talked to Hope, but did not.
Now to Mystia and Rumia

And now I need motivation to work on this again lol >_<

After my 3 month break from the release of beta3, I haven't really done much. Been pretty much been doing sprite crap for the other 24 characters so I don't have to do them later (That, and I'm trying to tidy up database crap for future betas so people don't have to restart later on in the game....which would suck considering beta4 is meant to be the halfway point....yes, I know....long freaking game. Only been working on it for 1 1/2 years now....x_x).

So yeah...unless I get motivation to work on this, not much is gonna get done. This is what I'm currently doing:

*Spritework for all characters (4 characters don't have sprites, while 2 others NEED better sprites since their sprites don't match with the rest of the characters. 2-3 characters need their sprites resized....joy). This also includes fixing up status sprites for EVERYONE....ugh.
*Attack animations for everything. Haven't really worked on this AS much save for the new characters, but you know....also need to fix up some animations since they're wonky and don't work right (stupid Global positioning...).
*Mapping....oh joy mapping! We ALL know how I love that (and how good I am with mapping...). I really think I should go back and remake some of the older dungeons/towns, but that would take ages for me to do...blech.
*New skills/weapons for each character. Yup...I actually upgraded/nerfed some characters with skills. For instance, Reimu I thought wasn't that good, while I thought Momiji was TOO good, so stuffs happened. I still don't think Reimu's that good though even with the new stuff....maybe it's because I did a speed run of my own game when I streamed it....



That's pretty much it right now. DID manage to get SOME storyline done, but yeah...the storyline won't move really until I get the mapping done and well...I hate mapping so that should tell you how much will get done >_>


Also, still open to sidequests/optional areas for the game! Though that may be the last thing I work on as I'm trying to get the main story stuff done first before working on the optional/side stuff, hence why I haven't fixed the missions at Youkai Mountain yet...

I am currently looking for people who are willing to help with mapping! Dear lord I'm looking for people who are willing to help with mapping T-T. Why? Because I hate it and I'm just no good at making innovative designs. That, and I'm not good at coming up with ideas of making dungeons more progressively difficult (I don't want a bunch of maze like dungeons for later dungeons...maybe trickier puzzles or something but I'm no expert at coding either...). That, and I need a couple spriters to help with getting character sprites (battle animations in this case) done so I can actually HAVE them for the characters x_x

Don't worry folks! Still going at it, and almost done with this event (not going to spoil ANYTHING). Once this event is done, the rest of beta4 will be a breeze (yes, beta4 IS that short. Might be a bit longer though since I have more ideas to implement which heavily affect the storyline). Beta5 however, WILL take a while to do, and I plan on doing that with beta4 so....why is that gonna take a while? Because beta5 is essentially NOTHING but new maps. And note, it's not in Gensokyo either.


And before anyone asks about the 3 fairies (Sunny Milk, Star Sapphire, and Luna Child), yes, they ARE in here...just not very plot related (they somewhat ARE for Cirno, but that's for an event in beta4). They're more sidequest related and whatnot (especially when you control Marisa later on at the Mushroom Grove). Also, expect quite a bit of new moves for each character. And a LOT of temporary characters in beta4/5 especially. This is where those other 24 characters kinda come into play too.

May I ask how you made your character's face on the bottom of the screen, during a battle. I got some systems that I could use really well if I knew how.

In the Battle Layout tab, just use the Gauge option in the Battle Type segment. It'll use whatever face portrait you have for them in your menu screen.
