Which thread to use?

>>13892074
I'm the OP of the other thread but this one should be easier to find in the catalog. We might as well stay here.

>>13892074

Ooops, I didn't find it in my sweeping prior to setting up this thread, but since the OP wishes to switch here, I guess we're staying here. While I'm at it, the rest of the standard OP:

Right, might as well give an update on DF for the day, though to be frank, not much that is easily visually quantifiable aside from a few additional sprites has been done: most of it is trying to get a feel for the faries' and Suikas' playstiles while adding new things in between, like more youkai (which are tricky because most of them require fairly complex reactions in order to properly simulate them) and robots. In addition, cyborgs have been added as another monster type; they infrequently appear in evil biomes, and they're similar to robots staticially but also count as living creatures, which allows them to be undead for extra fun (robo-Cheetahs can be tamed if standard guard dogs aren't doing it for you)!

The Factory is more or less complete as a faction, and all that needs to be added for the initial alpha release are the Redcaps to cap of the villians gallery, though I'll probably add at least one more civilized youkai type to give thieving fairy civs a more reliable trading partner. The biggest hurdle to release is writing a guide for how the fairies play and more importantly how to instruct first-timers of the basics of the game.

I wonder what happened to the dev from last thread who was about to become homeless.
I hope he's fine.

Testing C2C more to get bearings on just how much has changed in the past to versions, and let me tell you that merging units together into bigger units is one hell of a drug.

Anyways, any suggestions for uniques? C2C is special in that every civilization that appears in the game (and a couple who don't) each have a researchable culture that gives you the units, so I might as well give the GFA one as well in order to make it seem less jarring. A building, a unit, and two hero units.

Uu~~

Something is wrong with this animation, it was supposed to be smooth.
Screw that, I'll work on it tomorrow.

This thread is deader than Touhou Crossing.

Describe your ideal 2hu game, /jp/

I promise I will reveal something soon after LoLK's release.

Here is something that I am working on. This is just a small sample from a much larger list. They'll be UV mapped after I finish modelling characters/units, as well as danmaku and ranged weapons.

>>13912099
there's an incident. any time someone is napping airhorns appear from thin air and assail them until they get back to work.
action game starring Komachi
beat up touhous, get their weapons, teleport behind people and unsheathe your scythe
gameplay's something like Zone of the Enders or a 3D Acceleration of Suguri but with an additional focus on ground combat. full movelists instead of dumb branching dial-a-combos, juggle limitations that prevent DMC infinites. maybe just something like combo breakers instead so combos don't get too cut and dry. boss fights start out in the air and full of bullets. eventually one of you knocks the other to the ground and it stays down there til the fight's over or until really cool spellcards happen that could only be cool in the air. different movelists in the air and on the ground. ground is more about cool combos and counters, air is more about danmaku.
since Komachi is the best she's immediately proficient in any weapons she acquires and does rad iaijutsu with Youmu's katana and all kinds of cool Zhao Yun stuff with Shou's spear. etc.
final boss is reimu, who already solved the incident, but is using komachi's favorite spot.

>>13901247

this seems great

My drive got killed trying to make netplay in GM7.

>>13912339
Mite be cool.
Komachi would be perfect for an action game

Another quick update on the C2C modmod, a bit not one visually quantifiable: I've finally gotten Touhou sound effects to work for fairy units, including giving them the actual bullet shooting sound so they don't sound like 75 mm cannons like they did in Epic.

Now, to get the bullets' visual effects working...

On an aside, I gave Cirno three distinct era musics like everyone else: the early era is a simple remix of her theme done using the midi and running it through anvil to both simplyfy it and add banjos. Mid era is the slightly-off sounding Epic default track, and late era is the direct version of Beloved Tomboyish Daughter.

I've also been experimenting with reskinning some units in order to give Lady C. some more visual distinction: This for instance, is for the swordsman (in spite of what the filename might tell you).

How would you go about combining spellcards?
Take easier versions of the cards and mash them together, alternate patterns, take elements from both to make a new spellcard?
This is for a fangame idea that probably won't get worked on until I get my fill of LoLK.

Yet another texture dump to keep the thread alive.

Someone should make a fangame where Junko beats up the Watasuki's.

Additional texture work done and added in the kedama as replacements to the dog line of units, but for some reason I cannot get the spell effects working, so everyone is shooting giant, ugly red spheres.

>>13938413
Question: How does C2C compare with Rise of Mankind? I remember trying out the latter some years ago and feeling like it was incredibly overdone, which put me off C2C's somewhat similar concept.

>>13938693
If you were put off of Rise of Mankind because of the feature overload, then you'll really want to stay away from the bloatfest that is C2C.

>>13938731
It wasn't the feature overload per se. I really like Pie's Ancient Europe and FFH2 and CCV. It just felt like RoM's features were all skin-deep, and were just tacked on with little consideration for how they should affect one another to create an organic, well-balanced game. It night have gotten better since then, but at the time it felt like an amateur compilation mod.

>>13938731

Lucky for you, they chopped off a load of the superfluous parts of the game so C2C isn't as bloated as before after hundreds of complaints of the game crashing due to memory issues; the C2C of today is less than half the size of v30. Granted, early game is still drugery (animals, animals everywhere), and there are still far, far too many more buildings then you'll ever want to build cluttering up the construction screen, but the game has been streamlined significantly, and no longer takes half an hour to boot up, while a bunch of the pointless, dead-end units that didn't really belong to a line and were markably inferior to everything else ("Hand Rams", anyone?) were axed as well. Still not 100% balanced, and the recent army mechanics are a bit on the wonky side, and as seen here, the AI seems pretty dumb when it comes to expanding early game, but all in all, it's still one of the best mods out there if I say so myself.

As to how RoM is faring, I haven't kept up to date with it in years: CoC has certainly improved past the last time I checked it, but I wouldn't know exactly if it tried something similar.

Though, if you're a crazy person like me and like to re-add all the civilizations that the latest patch removed, you'll run into some stability issues because civ simply wasn't meant to have possibly 100 different civs spawn in the game at once, though having hundreds of nations spawn and die, some of them without you even knowing they once existed is part of what adds to the game's charm.

>>13943281

Oh, and I decided that I'd exert a bit more effort in reskinning some of the melee units. Now, they too wear the stylish garb of The Strongest fairy (modified from the garb of the most American fairy).

I won't let you die, fangame thread!
Bumping with... hmm, a shitty screenshot.

>>13891458
Whatever happened to that squid game? It looked cute and I love exploring underwater.

>>13950936
He used to hang around the OC thread, not this one. Sadly he hasn't posted for some time. Perhaps he's around /agdg/.
https://archive.moe/jp/thread/13336676/#13390817

>>13949617

That kedama looks...a bit off, but I'm loving the background!

Anybody thought of visualizing the map of Gensokyo for fangames or such?

Gensokyo has many other "worlds/dimensions" like Heaven, Hell, Hakugyokurou, Makai... How can you fit all of that on a flat map? Especially when all the worlds should be linked together (teleportation is not in the game engine)

I am frustrated thinking of a way to fit all of Gensokyo in 1 flat map. Some games and official works contradict each other, so the placement of some landmarks is really troubling.

Complaints aside, how would this map fare for a "flat" representation of Gensokyo? As mentioned earlier, teleportation is not possible, so I crammed everything together.

I made this based on speculation of the routes that could've been taken by the heroines (specifically Reimu) in the main games.

>>13952602
This is quite nice, but it isn't very right for the Hakurei Shrine to be right in the center when it's mentioned multiple times to be on the edge of Gensokyo right over the Hakurei Border.

Touhou Puppet Dance did a very nice interpretation of Gensokyo's map so you might want to check it.

As a note, I don't think the Underground needs to cover a large route, they were mostly going down at the time.

Your Makai is really neat, though.

>>13952602

Simple: hide the fact that the map is technically flat and have small seperate maps for the sections of Heaven, Hell, and Makai & such. I think that's what Touhoumon did when touched with the same issue.

How can I get motivated to work on my game?
Each time I get the motivation to work, it's when I'm far from my computer.

>>13952602
>Gensokyo has many other "worlds/dimensions" like Heaven, Hell, Hakugyokurou, Makai...
Those aren't actually part of Gensokyo. It's probably better to say they all have parts that border Gensokyo.


>(teleportation is not in the game engine)
How isn't it?

>>13952602
>teleportation is not possible
Literally impossible. There's no game that doesn't allow moving the PC to another map. Even Pacman does it.

>>13955700
I feel like total shit if I don't work on my game at least one hour per day.

>>13951606
Thanks, man!

>>13955798
>>13956128
Maybe he's working on a strategy/war game.

>>13955700
You can't wait for motivation if you want to get anything done. I'm a bad example of that myself, but I know it's true.

>>13952884
Thank you!
I made this map before I read WaHH, and I didn't know that the Hakurei Shrine was literally on the eastern edge of Gensokyo.

My main problem is adding the newhus to the current roster. Most of them might just end up as ancillary, while the rabbits and Sagume become playable.

>>13953593
>>13955798
>>13956128
Teleporting armies in Total War is buggy and I am worried about isolated faction's AI not navigating the map well. Also it might duplicate characters and lead to other complications.

I am just worrying myself about the future, I haven't reached map-making yet at this point, still modelling...

>>13956460
I'd be more worried about balance and IA if I were you.
Even games made by AAA studios suck at these.

>>13955700
Get some other people who want your game to ask you about it.
The fastest I've ever worked on a game was when I had another person in the room staring over my shoulder at it.

I thought animating sprites would be a fun thing to do. Boy I was wrong.

>>13963846
Any tips? I might want to learn for fun.

>>13965081
I hope you enjoy making a fuckload of sprites for a character, having hitbox issues, redrawing stuff that doesn't look good, then scrapping the whole set because it clashes with the artstyle of the game.

>>13891458
What is this.

I feel just as embarrased as you guys for having to answer but in the original 2hu games, where should I start from a story perspective? I played them like a decade ago so I don't quite remember and want to start fresh

>>13970387
EoSD of course. Do them in the chronogical order.

>>13970387

EoSD, though if you need to go REALLY far back generally most people accept SoEW as broadstrokes canon insomuch as an excuse to include Mima (and less commonly, Rika.)

So, whatever happened to Touhou Crossing?

Sorry about that.

>>13974477
Can't blame you. I did the same thing several times.

>>13974502
I swear, out of 100 people starting a solo project, only one will finish it.

I wonder how far I'll go this time before giving up. Pic related is the trashcan where you first encounter Nazrin

It's the week end! What are you working on, /jp/?

>>13980219
I'll try to draw and animate a character today.

>>13980219
I'm going to write a draft.

>>13980219
Back to university again. Bye bye to working on my game for another year ;_;

>>13980328
What's your opinion on LoLK?

>>13980424
It gives more details about that purity the moonhoneys are so fond of. It also mentions Chang'E, which is a good thing. As for the rest, well, it's still untranslated so some details are foggy, but the game is hard as balls so far.
And I haven't even reached Stage 3.

>>13980424

Sadly, I'm at the same situation, and I never got to release the game!

Nevertheless, I shall see to it that it gets released before the end of time! /jp/ needs to churn out "something", even if it's nothing like /tg/ or /a/ with their chapter master and KS.

>>13983339
Just once, we should try to cooperate.

Well, that's what I said, but after FOUR projects that I started with other Anons, everything always went to shit because someone lost interest and left.

>>13983770
Well, what type of game?

>>13983818
Dunno.

What's the simplest game we can make?

>>13983826
Touhou pong.
That wouldn't be very satisfying to make.
http://strawpoll.me/5289920

>>13983840
Pong with danmaku.

Or a breakout game. Could even be HRtP style.

>>13983826
A text adventure.
You'll need a writefag, through.

>>13983826
Has anyone played King of Dragon Pass?
I didn't, but the "gameplay" seems interesting. I imagine the concept would work well in a Gensokyo setting.

>>13985326
Funny you mention that, I asked recently how I could make a similar game.
Apparently, I can with Renpy, but it'll require a lot of experience, and mastery of python. Too complicated for me, in short.

>>13985518
You're that guy from /vg/? Hi!

I'm planning to create 3d leaderscenes for touhous in Civ V, which I'll just use for myself. I don't know how the hell do I replace the still pictures with the animations, though, so help appreciated.

Pic related, she was once my best 2hu, but never again after being DoW'd 5 times throughout the game, barely surviving while getting severely crippled in all aspects before getting finished off by Bird Gandhi.

>>13990467

I really, really want to update Cirno's civ to be a bit less secondaryish (Cirno's a foolish tomboy, but she isn't that much of a careless jerk) and add all the fairy army stuff from the newest game into. Maybe fix the spring herald to actually use the fairy model from Civ IV and give her some events while I'm at it. Perhaps even a couple additional model skins.

Can't help you much though, as modding Civ V has been a confusing process for me; it's not just type and plug in XML files like Civ IV is, and the only person that seems to be competent in the field that hasn't used it to make lewds of Catherine is that guy that did Hitler.

>>13990566
I do know stuff about some guy (ViceVirtuoso) that made custom unit models in addition to his Nep mods, and I saw him lurking around the Touhou Civ thread in CivFanatics.

Not sure if he's getting involved, however.

On the other hand, there was a Reimu civ released. Not sure if it's good, though, as I've never tried it before, but it has a Venice playstyle.

>>13986594
Both of you, go back there.

>>13993348
How about you fuck off?

So, anyone has anything new to report?
Did you progress?

>>13997976
I wrote a first draft for a touhou story heavily inspired from Bloodborne and Lovecraft's stories.

And Don't Starve too.

>>13997976

DF/Civ IV anon present to inform you all that I am now attempting to try my hand at modeling new models to fill in the extra gunpowder units introduced by the mod: through lazily splicing together the existing fairy models of course! Pictured here is I think the main infantry fairy with her twin-tails replaced with Cirno's ribbon. The skin is not yet updated, so it's the same color as her hair, but eh, progress?

Oh, and the amount of minor errors in Suika Fortress that are corrected in-game by the game itself are making it difficult to find actual game breaking glitches, but it seems each time I whack one another pops up in its place: I might have to realease it to the Bay 12 sometime soon in its highly volatile experimental state; I know for a fact there's at least one modder there more intelligent at the stuff them myself who's got my back, and I'm getting bogged down at a rate that it would likely never get finished alone.

Of course, you'll all get first pickings still as soon as I write down the guide to the fairies.

>>13999939

And the results of fiddling with the skin and model some. It looks better in game...I think.

2hu!=/jp/

Most of the stuff here is done by /a/ anyway.

>>13997976
I didn't do shit since last week.

>>14000212
Wot?

So where can I get Touhou Epic? I heard that the links on the wiki don't work anymore.

>>13997976
Nope.
All projects on hold/dead.
Would like to start on simpler ideas, but I'm still worried about spriting and audio.

>>13997976
I'm taking a break from games

>>14002523

Last I checked, Touhou Wiki's v1.13 eu mirror is still functional, as is its spotty translation patch. I should know, having had to download it multiple times after accidently scrambling my copy once dissecting it.

In other news, my last save through the test run corrupted itself when it crashed in the middle of saving, and the game has gotten bloated to the point that it crashes in between each turn, so said save is written as bust; though I've likely gleaned all the information needed from it anyway. I've taken the time to update to the latest version of C&C, and lul and behold, someone removed the pointers to half of the european unit models (I HOPE they were just redunand pointers and they didn't remove the models completely - I've had a headache trying to fix that sort of thing in the past), and didn't document /what/ exactly they removed. Fun.

I'm sure Hell is like that : you can get out if you finish something, but you're never able to finish it.

>>14011941

My main problem with my game, even if I could develop it, is that it would involve ignoring:
>Gensokyo's decentralisation, and lack of nationhood.
>Makai only being accessible through a cave.
>The ammo limits of aircraft.
>Gensokyo not having a technology base beyond feudal Japan.
>The fact that most Touhou characters can't use a cell phone, let alone supersonic fighter aircraft.
>The fact that the characters can fly unaided and so don't even need jet fighters.
>Nuclear weapons not existing in Makai.

I just love the idea of Touhous in jet fighters because I got into Touhou and Ace Combat games at the same time so the two concepts are linked in my mind because I'm super fucking autistic. Even the plot of my game is similar to Ace Combat Zero's plot, just set during Mystic Square.

Pic related was a stock image I poorly coloured in for when I made a quick version of what the game screen would look like in Paint.NET. It's so shitty I refuse to show it.

>>14012015
At least you have the balls to show shitty arts.
The screencaps I post are always fake, because all stories I wrote so far used a lot of original characters, and nobody like them. I would never have the bravery of posting a real screenshot of my works.

>>14012025

pls no bully

Basically, the gimmick of the game was that boss fights were struggles to maintain a lock on. You could only seriously damage bosses when locked on. There would be other aircraft that could disrupt lock ons, or in the case for the Yuki/Mai fight, you'd still be getting shot at. In Alice's fight, her plane would start launching unmanned drones that work like the regular enemies (Just fly at you shooting and don't come back if they pass.)

Subweapons are used when you have a lock on, and work the same as bombs. Countermeasures are also bombs, but can only be used if an enemy has already fired a missile at you. Throughout the levels, you shoot down bombers and enemy squadrons, which get you subweapon shots and countermeasures respectively. Subweapon shots are much rarer, but still would help in certain fights where having a lock on still means you're getting shot at.

The objectives are just used to occupy the lower part of the screen. You don't actually have to target things like ground targets or factories or stuff like that.

>>14012075
Sounds like a major pain in the ass to code indeed, and that probably would be a little frustrating to play at first.
Damn, now I want to fly a plane and make stuff explode.

As for the sprites, well, if it's non-commercial (which I assume it is), you can still COUGH COUGH borrow sprites COUGH COUGH and use them as base for your planes.

>>14012119

I don't really feel confident that anything I'd make is ever worth paying for, so even if I made it 100% on my own I would still release it for free.

And now that I think about it, most of the game's coding would end up being just for the lock on system.

It's just a shame that I can't code at all. My friend and I tried learning Lua at the same time about 8 years ago. He now knows most common programming languages, while I don't know shit. I'd recruit him but he's busy nowadays.

>>14011069
>>14011941
You know maybe we're overthinking it, most touhou fangames have shitty stories and embarrassing dialogue.
Touhou Pocket War was the worst IMO

>>14012184
Just making absolutely sure of it. Most people here are working for free, but there's also that one guy with an inflated ego who thinks his work is worth a few brouzoufs.

>>14012203
Yeah, but you don't play Touhou Pocket War for the story.
In the case of a VN, the story is extremely important, as it's pretty much the only selling point.

The other Anon's game could have the shittiest story of all, if it's fun and has good explosions, people will play it.

Hey guys, do you think it is possible to make a game like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTWd_eyAmgQ with Renpy?
I can use flags all right, but that one looks like it's mixing variables (for the time passing) AND flags, and I dunno if you can mix them in a game.

Holy shit. How autistic can they be?
This is why I can't go back to regular forums.

Mods are why I can't go back to forums.

New ancient era screenshot, with fairy workers. There are compatability issues between the latest version of C2C for standard release and the special (superior) SVN version, which I have converted the mod for. It should be good to go once I figure out how to get effects working, unless I decide to add more features like additional leaders.

>>14031252

Ooops, wrong link, meant >>14000122, but on the topic of MotK...

I still find it difficult to belive that the same forum which spawned Totaku has degraded into the half-dead husk of a board it is today. It's mighty sad to see something that was genuinely useful beforehand become nothing but a soapbox run by mods on a powertrip. It hits especially close to home for me because I've had it happen before in one of the boards I frequented back in the early 2000s, and by the time people realized the issue, everyone was already gone.

>Last time I posted something there, I got complains and death threats because some guy's waifu wasn't in it.
>>14031270
>nothing but a soapbox run by mods on a powertrip
Every time I hear stuff like this I have to wonder whether people are throwing out hyperbole to the moon or if they're looking at the same forum I am. I know a handful of people who were chased out of MotK for being insufferable faggots and came to whine on /jp/ about how it's so awful, and merely mentioning MotK here seems to draw them in so forgive me if these sorts of posts make me skeptical.

>>14031519

Hence the difficult to belive bit. When I last saw the board, it was more dead then anything else, with the post rate having slown down to two posts per day.

Their fangame creation board was deader then this general.

>>14031519
Why would you believe anything you read on the internet without evidence?

>>14030025
>I'm not a suckup. I treat everyone equally.
Someone who spends his time correcting typos on the internet should be banned from every community he inserts himself into.

>>14031821
The other day I tried to order a doujinshi from someone off MoTK but instead he sent a van of thugs in cosplay to rape me silly in my living room.

i repaired some collision issues and discovered the hard way that a lot of pmx features go away when converting down to pmd. so no uv morphs for me.

I forgot to mention it in the previous /fumo/ thread, but I was suggested to develop a touhou tomagotchi game, so I figured I'd at least mention it here. No guarantees on its completion soon due to school, but I will try to build up an engine for it over time.

>>14032021

Yukkurigachi?

>>14032030
The anons on the fumo thread suggested fumos instead, since its a game about taking care of a fumo and not abusing/neglecting them.

>>14032030

Plz no, though using actual Touhou characters might be surreal. Perhaps make them all seperate little things you can link up: link together the whole Scarlet Devil Mansion to get, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, for instance, or forcibly link together all the fairies so you can watch as Clownpiece slowly drives them mad with clown-related antics.

>>14031806
>Their fangame creation board was deader then this general
If you're talking about Danmakufu creators in particular, a large portion of them now use a Skype group or some shit, which probably leaves that impression, yeah. It really doesn't help the productivity of that section.

Wrong.
That's V.

>>14057963

It's a matter of taste which one is better (I like both equally), but V, though easier to mod on the surface, is a pain to get custom assets working properly.

>>14053297
>>14057963

>>14060524
>not a civ
>"hurr durr best civ game"

Yeah, I'm not a modeler: after messing with meshes, verticies, an UV mapping in order to change around one of the models to have a pony tail for variety, it caused civ's engine to crap itself inspite of it working fine in-editor (similar issue to the aardvark: the vertices seem to be all over the place). I'm only guessing it has something to do with the fact that the new model doesn't quite match up with the old one (I also changed the hair and added ears).

For now, I'll just cut my losses and go back to the less interesting hair: Blender is a scary place.

>>14065800
You gonna add Hell Fairies as elite units?

>>14066988

Now that you mention it, adding CP as a leader has been in the back of my mind for a while, as well as porting over Dai too for a third. I might be able to poorly recolor one of the models to resemble Clown Piece (or just a generic demon fairy...what are their colors again? I have yet to actually put my hands on the latest 2hu, though the lore is intriguing and will likely have to be incorperated in Fairy Fort later) too: perhaps for the third Tier Infantry unit, which is currently sharing its model with the second tier.

I just realized I haven't worked on Suika Fortress for a month now, but time is fleeting during this season for myself.

>>14067124
>adding CP as a leader
Please just call her Clownpiece. Or Spankbait.

For a second, I completely misunderstood you.

>>14067241

>Spankbait

Is that her nickname now? Hell, is Clownpiece even her real name in the first place?

>>14067360
Don't listen to that guy, CP is as fine a nickname as it gets.

>>14067399

Different anon. I'm just browsing for activity.

>>14067360
With pictures like >>14064575, Clownpiece is the next spanking mascot.
Hatate and Sekibanki can go back to their closet.

>>14065800
>>14067124
Are you the same anon working on Suika Fortress? Two projects at once sounds like a daunting task!

Curious about the model, is it made up of quads/polys or tris? And what is the number of vertices and polys?

>>14069126

Indeed: it started with me playing some old Civ in order to cool off a bit after spending weeks trying to unravel some of the glaring bugs in SF, but later I got roped into wondering how much easier modding Civ IV is compared to V, and the anser is: much easier, though also much more confusing as many aspects of it work in mysterious ways optimized for machines built back in 05', and as such finding some compatable programs was a bit of a pain.

To answer the question on the model I was working on:

The triangle count (which it is made out of: I use polys because I'm not versed in the realms of /3/ and have not modeled with anything more complex than CAD and Google Solid Works) is 6807, while the vertice count is 5700: quite high for a game like Civ IV (in comparison, the basic tank model has 615 vertices and 473 triangles), but still about half of the model it originated from: it's actually a slightly modified, reskinned version of the doll model that hovers next to Medicine.

Most of the other fairy models are around this range as well, and are all high poly and rather stiffly animated, but lamebryo seems to handle even sixty of them rendered on-screen at once with little fuss: it's C2C itself which often leads to crashes due to someone making dirty code and not cleaning it up in between revisions before submitting it: the current revision I got kept crashing on the leader info screen because somebody omittited the Mugals to save space in spite of the fact that C2C's base code (which was burried deep enough that I couldn't actually find what it was referring to) required them as one of the "base" civ lineups (that is, not part of the module selection and built into the mod internally.)

>>14074901
What are you using? Blender? Is it easy to use?

So, I did some research about myself, and apparently :
- when I try to make a game myself, I run out of ideas very quickly,
- but when someone else try to make a game, I suddenly have a shitload of ideas.

I must be cursed by a gypsy.

>>14076809
Ideas don't matter for me after a while, I need the ability to implement them and people who can make art stuff.
And I really should find someone else to work with so I don't burn out on every project I try.

>>14076836
>And I really should find someone else to work with
Me too. I mean, I found out how to implement a day planner for Ren'Py, so I can theorically make a dating sim/Long Live The Miko game, and yet I get stuck constantly because I don't know where to start.
Same thing happens with RPGMaker, I get it, begin using it, find out how to make events, how to make maps, how to add characters/enemies, and I end up not doing anything because I don't know what to do.

In fact, I'm the kind of guy that goes to the sandbox while saying "I'll make an awesome castle", and once he reaches the sandbox, stops in his tracks because he doesn't know how his castle should look like or where he should start.

That doesn't exist.

The week end is starting.
Are you going to work?

Last time I bump this thread.
I did my duty to keep it alive, but there's no point in bumping if there's no content.

Incidentally, I'm working on a Neptunia fangame, but I don't know if it's relevant of /jp/, so...

>>14081597
Maybe tomorrow...

>>14075446

I'm manipulating the models currently using NifScope alone: it's a model viewer for Gamebryo meant to do things such as add sounds and effects to animations with some secondary UV and model editing capabilities, but it's preferable to using Blender when I don't have to use it: Blender is installed, but I don't like touching it because of the horrid UI. I also can't remember if all the required modules have been installed into it yet since I last had to download it, so it's prety much been in disuse.

As for what I'm currently doing, I'm testing the game and adding content as it goes, though so far most of the stuff I've added (largely aspects of other mods) isn't directly /jp/ related, hence the lack of updates.

>>14081597
Too much stress and other work to do.
Maybe next week I'll make a clone of some game and slap touhou graphics on it.

Dunno if relevant or not, but here is it anyway.

>>14089588

>>14114212
I refuse. I started these threads, I won't allow them to die.

Once you'll have at least made ONE game, you'll have my permission to die.

And the Neptunia game doesn't count, it's not about Touhou.

>>14114314
These threads ruined my life, dude. Because of them I can't stop thinking up new concepts and ideas for a touhou game but I'm too lazy and unskilled to do anything.
Every night I go to sleep frustrated and angry as HELL.

>>14115499
In this week's Humble Bundle, there is GamerMaker Studio Pro.

>>14118940
https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

GameMaker for $6 (or $12 for Android as well). As an added bonus, I'll give Touhou Crossing source code because I think I'm going to permanently retire from game dev: https://github.com/KillerJaguar/touhou-crossing

If someone wants to pick it up, go for it!

Civ anon here. Eh, aside from missing bullet effects, the Cirno mod for C2C is mostly functional: should I release it anyway?

The current version it's slated to work for is NOT the current version of C2C that can be easily downloaded: it's actually the less terrible super secret latest edition that you need SVN to download, which sort of complicates things, though hopefully not too much.

>>14120328
That's a bit sad. Hopefully, someone else will take over.

>>14121371
Do it.

>>14121371
Yes.

>>13952884

Is it okay to ask some help in here, even if its not relating to making my own game?

I have been trying to patch puppet performance but it says some error in moonspeak and I dont know what to do anymore.

>>14127115
Post the error message, m8.

>>14127140
Here. The choices in the first picture are yes and no respectively so dont worry about it.

I first thought it was about the patcher not finding the game folders, but it happens even if the patch is ran from the same folder as well, that is why I am confused.

>>14127148
It says the game folder cannot be found, indeed.

It's possible that the version of your game is already updated. You should try to install a newer patch.
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=1ce491c7c7bffdbd&id=1CE491C7C7BFFDBD!2998

>>14127199
It says the same error on all patches. The game itself is 1.01, as it states, and I tried to install all patches up to 1.34 from the link you gave.

>>14127219
>>14127148
Remove moonspeak from folder path.

>>14127299
Sorry to sound dumb, but how? I have tried to apply the patch from multiple locations while also moving the game to different locations and it still complains of the error. Shouldnt that mean that the folder path doesnt matter there?

>>14127317
Just.. Rename the folders. Remove characters that aren't A-z, 1-9.

>>14127392
Done. As you can see, error is still there.

>>14127219
Do you have the ISO of the game? Have you installed it by running setup.exe?

>>14127435
No, I downloaded the entire thing from this document.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ysbYVjcWkdNxGFviTDnAdABvqnJmaA9cQ7f2ILc3Q6o/edit#gid=211831869
Which should not be an issue, since the game itself works just fine, it just refuses to patch it.

>>14127440
That's the problem, buddy. The game doesn't appear in windows registery, that's why the patch can't find the folder.

>>14127449
So why does the... Ah fuck it. I am too dumb for this stuff. I was already excited I didnt have to fuck around with ISOs with this. Well, teaches me right, time to download that too.

>>14127451
Let me know if you have trouble finding the iso.

>>14127715
Nah, I found it and got all the patches done, including the english patch.
Thanks for the advice, without it I would have just deleted everything and just submitted to failure.

Looking into multiplayer stuff with game maker has been a brick wall. Are there any good engines that have easy online multiplayer?

>>14128711
Anything involving networking is always confusing as fuck. There are so many ways things can go wrong. It's why I never bothered making any multiplayer games.

>>14128727
Well, this game idea outright doesn't work without multiplayer.

>>14128734
What kind of game? And you should be able to make a game first before you touch networking.

>>14128765
A danmaku dueling game sort of like PoFV where you throw knives and they wrap to the other players screen, and you need to dodge the other player's knives along with the increasing numbers of shots from the fairies.
I'm somewhat apprehensive of working on the entire game before making sure I can get networking to work, because I don't want to make everything then need to port it to a different engine.

>>14128817
more of this I need this in my life

>>14128817
Network coding is a huge topic. Doesn't matter which engine you use since the underline is almost the same but I'd indeed suggest you to look at how things work first and maybe try to have some prototype, then work on your game.

Know that the way you'd code your game is usually way different from how you'd do it for networking. You have to take into consideration stuff like packets, delay, inputs, prediction and more.

>>14121371
Can you elaborate on that version needed?

>>14121371

Bump, and minor issue I found with the mod: the icon for the early tank is missing.

>>14131084

According to the read me it's version 36. It has instructions on how to download it.

Is the anon who made all those fairy sprites here?

>>14148857
You're better off writing a patch than modifying the actual source code, especially if all you want to do is add a class.

How hard would it be to make a Touhou-like game, lets say a remake of EoSD just for a set idea, using Java? I'm currently learning JavaScript in school and I'd like to know how difficult it would be to use JavaScript to create a danmaku game

>>14155492
Probably too hard for you if you have to ask.
You should start of by figuring out what you'll need to do for something like that, then decide if it's a project you can do. Also, Java is one of the worst things around and you shouldn't waste your time with it.

>>14155536
Wasn't Minecraft written in Java?

>>14157849
It also runs like complete shit. The mobile version actually runs better than the PC one (or at least ran. I heard they remade it in something else recently, at least were planning to.)

>>14157875
Ha. So my computer wasn't to blame.
Good to know.

Any progress?

Anyone working at all?

>>14163740
I've been thinking of doing some stuff on Touhou Crossing again

>>14163740
I'm the guy who was working on >>13949617

Now I'm back to the good aul' RPG maker with a project unrelated to touhou.

I've also been thinking of toying with RPG Maker, but this time using the scripting system.

Do you remember October 2014? we tried to launch a game jam here on /jp/, of course it failed hard.

I find that the artwork is what's stopping most /jp/sies. That and the fact that they love taking it easy.

>>14176637
Which is why I posted ressources in the OP when I first created this thread.

>>14178883

Most of the resources are already in the pastebin. The pastebin that has probably not been updated in a year now.

How do I into Defense of the Shrines? I play DOTA 2 once in a while but can only move Sniper and Drow Ranger. On LOL I use Tristana, Caitlyn and sometimes Vayne.

Has devil of decline been translated or did they give up.

>>14180998
Not to mention that most resources are for rpg-like games and simple dungeon crawlers. Most people just hit the art wall and give up on gamedev.

>>14181484
>LOL
Uninstalled that game. Just couldn't deal with the community and the Riot fucked up policy punishing anyone but the flamers, which is hilarious.

>>14181484
Can't help you with that, sorry. I tried both LoL and DotA 2, ended up hating them both because everyone is either a shitlord or a tryhard.

>>14181484
I only played the first one but basically you just pick Tenshi or Koishi and they can't do anything at any stage in the game because those characters were unbelievably broken.

Bump for later use.

>>14189390
What do you have in store anon?

>>14189498

All right, so hear me out. I was thinking of a game that mixed together different levels of the gameplay of Highly Responsive to Prayers, the Phantasmagoria games, and traditional Danmaku gameplay together into a single game, with the basic plot being that Gensokyo has become a totalitarian nightmare of a realm, and it's up to an outsider (which might or might not be Maribel/Yukari's direct descendant) to save it.

How feasible does this sound?

>>14190166
That sounds like the stupidest plot I've ever read and that gameplay sounds like something I'd only expect game dev pros to pull off.

>>14190188

Yeah, the plot was more of an excuse for the game as opposed to the game being an excuse for the plot: basically, the two options are that either Yukari conscripted one of her dimensional doubles in order to take her place while she explored the wider world and said alternate Yukari goes mad with power and revolts, deciding to use Gensokyo (which in her PoV is just a copy) as her personal playground, or that the Lunarians successfully manage to annex it and are in the process of purifying it: either way, Reimu is captured and brainwashed and Yukari is in hiding (to get around the fact either of them would otherwise be able to fix the plot with judicious use of their powers before it started), while the rest of the 2hu cast is also in hiding, part of the new regime, or ded (though in the last case, nobody is actually confirmed).

The character is an outsider in order to make them modular; the first part of the game would be them getting captured and forced to battle in a lethal combination of the above spellcard games in an arena before they escape for the third act in order to find Yukari, aided in said escape by probably Marisa. The character could be Maribel herself, if using someone generic risks becoming a donut steel.

>>14190249

That plot sounds awfully familar.

Story aside, how are you going to do this? I don't think Danmakfu can support that, and the only people I know of that could actually pull something off like what you're describing mechanically is Jynx, or ZUN himself.

>>14190294

Huh? How's it similar to Tron? At any rate, I'm mostly just spouting off: I don't have the time to learn game development, and was just letting out the idea.

>>14190301

Just another idea guy, eh? Yeah, thanks, it's not like any of us were short on that or anything.

You know what they say; Great minds discuss ideas, and whatnot.

:/

Are you okay, /jp/?

We need less ideas guys and more devs.

>>14190684
That requires actual skill which /jp/ lacks

>>14191528

Not true! We have Chen Shooter Anon, Touhou Crossing Anon, Suika Fortess Anon, Sanae Anon, Crusader Kings Anon, Dominions Anon, Mount and Blade Anon...

Wait, when was the last time half of them logged on?

>>14191565
Which Sanae anon?

>>14191598

The one with the neat 3D danmaku game.

>>14191528
Or we need more resources. OP's pastebin is worth the effort but is still lacking and getting old.

>>14191617
>getting old
It's not like sprites age.

>>14191807
Well. It's not like you have a wide range of games you can make with such sprites. The pastebin literally consists of sprites like that.

>>14192116
You just have to get creative. What kind of game do you want to make?

>>14192116
>"daaamn I can't make a game, duuude, I have no sprites!"
>there are sprites in the OP, stop lying.

>>14192128
I was just expressing my opinion. But since it triggers you so much guess I will just shut up for now.

>>14192116
You could always find sprites yourself

>>14192127
Its kinda hard to make an action game with sprites like that.

>>14195900
You can also use official game sprites like soku as well. And >>14192255

I don't think you're allowed to use them though.

If he's not trying to sell the game, he shouldn't get any legal problems.
Of course, that's an excuse, you're supposed to ask first, and there's no way they'll allow this. That's why all ressources in the OP are free.

>>14196091
You want to make something, and it'll give you something to use. It's not like you'll finish it anyways. Who cares?

>>14196161
Not like you're allowed to use them either, but who cares?

Didn't at least one of the devs here also have a collection of sprites he did?

>>14120328
Its a shame its in game maker. Its not really programmable. It will be limited. Send some screenshots of what it looks like.

What are your thoughts on Godot and Kivy?

>>14204270
I haven't heard of Kivy, but Godot is a good up-and-coming game dev tool. Would use it over GameMaker if it were a little more developed.

>>14204518
Tools for coding are irrelevant.
They need to start making tools for drawing and making sprites, with lots of references.

I hope it's spooky

Use the Reddit tpdp thread; they have specific step by step instructions as well as links.

At this point, it's more silly than spooky. I'll add some "disturbing" stuff later if I have the time.

>>14227291
Does it have skellington?

>>14227996
Of course. It wouldn't be a Halloween game without skellingtons, witches, sexy vampires and pumpkins everywhere.

>sexy vampires
Please no sexy vampires. Make them spooky.
Twilight ruined sexy vampires for 20 years.

It's the weekend, I hope you're all working on your game /jp/!

Also how is your game coming along, Neptunia guy?

>>14229283
Don't worry, the only vampires will be Flan and Remilia. You won't see any of those sissy vampire fuccbois that young girls love so much these days.

I want to make some 2hu mini-games for 2hu crossing but I lack ideas

Yes. Yes. YES! In fact, this gives me an idea:

By gathering certain 2hus to your town, you can unlock minigames and events.

I was thinking the other day of the missing ingredient for Touhou Crossing, and concluded it's gameplay. Something to actually do.

Then I thought that maybe you could play games with 2hus or do jobs in buildings. My first thought was doing a simple one-card shmup but I dunno if I can do that, so I thought maybe doing mini-games instead. Those seem like it'd be fun to make. So that's why I'm trying to think up minigames to play.

You should make it more like Touhou Moon where you have 1 year to save your farm or something. The town is populated with different 2hus.

The clock works in real-time like in Animal Crossing right now, so I would have to change it to be like Harvest Moon. Not that it would be hard, but it would change a lot of the game.

>>14234073
I have an idea for this, actually.
Do like the math game from FF:4HoL but make the end result be 9 instead of 10.

Urgh maths.

It could be like the DK Jr. Math game that nobody plays in Animal Crossing!
