We have just released the first version of Taisei, a weeaboo-made, open sores Touhou clone.

Enjoy, hate, whatever.

Also, it’s still lacking artwork in form of music and sounds, so please visit our IRC channel if you wish to contribute.

Better question: Add an option to use the existing game resources.

Well let's see:
-the bullet movements are really cool but a pain in the ass, this seems way harder than a regular touhou game (but I'm pretty bad at vertical shooters anyway)
-having a different shot type when you focus would be nice
-is there no grazing mechanism? it's kind of expected for the genre
-the fairies are unsatisfyingly tough to kill

That's about it for my remarks. Once you polish it, it could be a great game. The number one priority right now would be the music though.

Isn't that default in mplayer2? It was one of my favourite changes. I figured vdpau was just a different video output driver?


Anyway, I just played this and it's pretty fun. Most of the sprites are nice, and the game seems to be well-programmed. A few thoughts:

1. You need more sound. Seriously, just some placeholder noises for a few things. I didn't realize how much I rely on Touhou's sounds until I played this.
2. While the bullet patterns are very fluid, they don't mesh well together. And a few seem a little off. You did a good job of mimicking her spell cards, but I have the feeling that the RNG is more likely to dick me over here. Particularly for something like Freeze Sign "Perfect Freeze".
3. Implement grazing and deathbombing (this one might have been in there, I just suck at it ┐('～`；)┌)

You know what, GPL faggots? Fuck you forever. You’re just as bad as the sue-happy proprietary software owners/patent owners you claim to hate so much. The entire point of open source is that anyone should be able to do whatever they want with it. You’re trying to keep the cake and eat it too; either you let the code go and let other people use it freely, or you keep it under locks and sue the fuck out of anyone using it in ways you don’t like. There is no middle ground, and it’s pretty clear which side of the fence you’re on.
The GPL isn’t a “free software” license in any way whatsoever because of its ridiculous restrictions. People who use it are the kind of faggots that are still attached to the “I made it so I should be able to control what happens to it until 90 years after my death” school of intellectual property management, which is about as far from any definition of “free” as you can get.

No offense I think you two should stop posting kopipe and go back to coding little girl shooters.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9553417

Okay, here's what I think so far:

-Difficulty is all over the map. Portions of Stage 1 were quite difficult while the middle levels were much more easy-going.
-Shot types are pretty unbalanced; Youmu's Haunting whatever shot type wrecked everything a lot harder than all the other shot types did.
-Enemy hitboxes need to be adjusted. I can't remember which boss it was, but with Marisa, the boss hitbox wasn't even wide enough for both of her standard shots (as in, the shots that didn't come from her Options) to hit.
-SMALLER, FASTER BULLETS NEED TO BE RENDERED ON TOP OF LARGER, SLOWER BULLETS. HOLY FUCK THIS IS IMPORTANT.
-Using YoumuB, my shots stopped doing any damage during some of the spell cards of the later bosses. Bombs would still do damage.
-Holding Z after pressing 'Continue' ought to immediately start shooting, instead of requiring me to release and press the button again in order to begin shooting.
-There's something wrong with the number of bombs. Did you put in Imperishable Night style bombs where you'd sometimes use two at a time? For some reason I kept finding myself out of bombs when it seemed like I should've had some left.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9553903

-Wriggle's (I think it's Wriggle's) spell card where shots would randomly change direction is poor. Shots that close to the player should not suddenly change direction, unless there's adequate preparation like in Sakuya's spells in EoSD.
-There are too many (as in, more than 0) 'fuck you' deaths. The bit where the fairies rush super-fast across the bottom of the screen is just an insta-death until you memorize when that happens. There was one spell card on one of the later bosses where bullets came up from the bottom of the screen with absolutely no warning.
-FIX THE LENGTH OF TIME FOR YOUR INVULNERABILITY FROM BOMB USE. I should not be vulnerable at all until the bomb effects are 100% gone.
-Make it so you can't use a bomb until a second or so after you respawn. Failing a deathbomb only to have a bomb wasted at the very beginning of the next life is insulting.
-Put in placeholder sounds. Rip sound effects from the games if you have to, but not being able to hear lasers or the sounds of my own shots hitting is making things harder in a bad way.

>>9554044
Speaking of design, Marisa's and Youmu's design is really nice. I didn't like Hina's though. The face felt off. I see you're missing art for the other bosses I found along the way, but that's understandable.

As for the characters... You guys have a preference towards Youmu, right? The enemies felt incredibly hard to kill with both Marisa's shot types and with Youmu's mirror sign. It gives me the impression you don't want players to be able to kill the fairies before they shoot at least one wave of their danmaku in order to feel like your work making all the admitedly beautiful patterns wasn't in vain.. This is understandable in the latter levels but, in the first level, only a couple of the fairies should have that degree of indestructability. Youmu's Haunting sign, on the other hand, made it feel like a walk in the park. The fairies became surprisingly easy to kill and the focused shot pulls out homing bullets, so it fills out Reimu's missing part rather well.

The bombs have pretty nice effects, but they don't seem to have much effect on the game besides instantly killing the enemies in your screen. This is most notable with Marisa's star sign. I don't know if it's meant to kill anyone or if it just serves to absorb danmaku, but very little seems to get killed besides the enemies already on screen. If a new wave shows up, regardless of the bomb, character and shot type, it just absorbs danmaku. I'm not sure if this is the case for master spark, as I didn't double check. More on this later.

[Anonymous No.]

I played up to the third level with both characters and all shot types on hard difficulty without continues. Therefore my criticism mighn't be perfect.

First of all, there seems to be little sound in the game. Besides the item get crackles and the bomb noises, there's no other sound. I was expecting at least a sound indicative of death, so I could time death bombing. If you had no problem using touhou characters, I don't understand why being conservative towards music.

I also noted you were rather conservative in the dialogues. I take it you don't want to destroy people's ideas of how each touhou acts. And that's fine. I did enjoy the one original character I found in the game. The design wasn't bad at all.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm on my netbook, so I can't check it out right now.

But from what I see, it has Touhous

Dude. It's your original game, fuck the Touhous and put in your original characters.

Or even better, ask for /jp/ for original characters. Make a story or something. Don't worry, you can still call it a Touhou clone, even if it's set in another world.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9554049
The stages themselves, besides the relative difficulty in killing the fairies, presented a suitable danmaku thickness (if you so would like to call it) for the difficulty of play I chose. It would be perfect if only the fairies weren't so hard to kill, which gives them time to shoot even more danmaku, filling the screen with too much stuff if one's not careful enough.

The bosses presented suitable challenges, laughable spell cards and laughable attacks all at the same time. I don't know if you played EoSD or not, but Cirno's last spell card feels a little off. I don't know if it's to give the player breathing room or if it's just a reference to the old joke. [Hina]'s bad lottery check spell card is ridiculous and, unless I pick the one corridor with the opening out of dumb luck, I can't find a way to get through it without using bombs or, again with dumb luck, finding a small gap in the laser that comes down. The wheel of fortune (last spell card) is again proof of just how Youmu's haunted sign is above all other shot types. I had to wait until the danmaku stopped spinning in order to clear the spell card with all other shot types. With haunted sign, though, I just focused movement and circled around with the danmaku and cleared the spell card before the danmaku stopped spinning.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9554056
The third level is the reason why I didn't play further or tested master spark. It's just way too bright! So bright in fact it was hard to see Scuttle's pre spell card danmaku and had to clear it using bombs. My eye became almost completely red, which happens often when I play touhou games for long periods of time, but I'm sure I only played your game about half an hour. EX Wriggle had the same issue I had with the second boss, as the light the night spell card felt off, in the sense it was too difficult. Perhaps that was just a manifestation of the hard time I had figuring out some patterns. I'm not sure you should've put EX in Wriggle's name, but that's just a styllistic opinion with which I had no real problem.

All in all, this game was a surprisingly pleasant waste of a good half hour. I was supposed to go rest my eyes for a full hour but I was so excited about providing feedback that I wrote all this 15 minutes after taking a break. I'll be sure to clear the rest of the game and find out what other surprises you have in store. Perhaps more original characters, despite the conservativeness of dialogue? Who knows. I didn't read the story txt to avoid spoilers.

Guy who wrote the long-winded posts here.

I sort of agree but I can see why you didn't take this approach, since a lot of purists would probably hate it and you'd get a bad rap for it. I did appreciate the one original character I saw, and was half-expecting one of the playable characters to be original, perhaps more western-oriented. Yes, Marisa is as western as it gets in terms of magic, but hey, there's always room for a witch with vibrant clothes and a pointy hat. Yours is solid work anyway.

I forgot to say that the game moves and feels exactly how I'd expect from an openGL game in linux's games section. But again, this presents no real problem unless people are honestly expecting a fangame team to re-create ZUN's engine with 1:1 fidelity.

Obviously that doesn't mean ripping sprites and music and applying your own licence to them is okay.

Since ZUN is cool with people creating and selling remixes and arranges, maybe some circle or bored musician would be interested in contributing to this project? Hell, /jp/ has a lot of musicians.

Or you could use something completely un-Touhou but theme-fitting, like the Celestial Aeon Project.

i didn't feel like it limits my creativity to use mostly touhou characters. it's like with touhou fan music. you take the existing fandom and make your own interpretation.

Just for the record - and I really don't want to turn this into /g/ flamewar, but my autism forces me to answer: GPL is concerned solely with the freedom of the end user. It does not actually care about shit like free reuse of code and it never did, it cares solely about your ability to know (and control, and modify) what you're running on your own computer. Free as in speech, not as in beer, remember? You care solely about what happens to your code, Stallman sees making his code free (as in beer) merely as means to achieve a bigger goal.

Damnit, I wrote so much and I forgot yet another point! There is no clear statement as to how the game is supposed to be played. Only later did I find out it doesn't follow EoSD/PCP ruleset but that it is more related to MoF/SA in the sense that I don't need full power in order to be able to absorb all the items on screen by flying to the upper area of the stage. This could be fixed with a simple "Item GET borderline" flashing message in the first stage, like what you get in MoF's.

There's also no indication of how to get extra lives. The only extra life I got was by beating the third stage's midboss. Is it possible through score? It resets after every level, so I don't know. There's also no readme file explaining the rules, so it gets complicated.

I never said you have to if you want to "fit in on /jp/". I only said you should if you want to post about the board on /jp/.

Game is epic. It's so lightweight I want to cry. Runs > 60 fps with Compiz enabled, GLCairo, etc.
Someone should use some of those Tohou remixes, I don't care, I don't know, any circle would care if properly mentioned in the credits.
Also, I suggest to make /jp/ rewrite the dialogue with the bosses to a more funny one.

Does it tear in-game like that too?

[lachs0r No.]

>>9555083
That’s most likely just Compiz being shit.

Yes.

My 2 cents:
1) Personal preference, but it's a bad idea to have the player speed be slower than every single bullet in the game.
2) Stage 2 feels like it was made for grazing, and yet the game doesn't have a graze system.
3) Related to point 1, I think any Touhou game should be doable even without memorisation. Stage 3 has two events which are basically undodgeable thanks to the low move speed unless you know they're coming (the ones where the only safe spot is the middle).
4) The big bullets/small bullets thing mentioned earlier.

Why would you make it open source, and MIT of all things?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9555360
Why not? Not like they will be selling it at a high price. Might as well release the source.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9553417
I like it, it feels a bit fast and difficult though.
It could use more sounds.

Have you considered lua scripting for modders to be able to make different patterns and enemies?

Lua's incredibly easy to bind if you have the chance to do so.

>>9555448
We’ve been talking about scripting and community stuff on IRC. It will be coming in one form or another, but not very soon because we need to take care of other problems first.

I don't know, I shouldn't play this... It doesn't feel right ;_;

>3) Related to point 1, I think any Touhou game should be doable even without memorisation.

You know, 99% of games that have those "how the fuck was I supposed to know that" moments aren't really that good, so yeah not only Touhou games, but any game shouldn't rely on memorisation.

it loaded but it does not display any of the actual game, which makes it rather hard

Might try http://www.mediafire.com/?r8man8p79cihgd2 for Ubuntu/Debian binaries (implying you have all the dependencies it needs)

Why don't you use open source music and sounds?

will it have a billion trillion build options like qt, opencv, boost, etc,etc?

No.

Looks like an interesting game. I would like to suggest something for Iku, though: you know those lightning bolts from Ikaruga? Could it be possible to involve that sort of bullet in this game? I've always wanted to see Iku with some "actual" lightning attacks instead of regular bullets.

[Anonymous No.]

One thing that is definitely making life harder is that you never get any breaks, it's a constant barrage. And also that there's no sound cues.

OS X, using 10.8 with a macbook pro 2.2 i7, late 2011 15".

- Inconsistent frame rate
- Flickering boss backgrounds as seen here: http://tinypic.com/r/2dhs3m9/6
- Those are some big bosses.

I don't know a fuck about macs, what GPU does that use? What does the stage background look like, is it somehow wrecked too? (you can take a screenshot with the P key). I made the OSX build on a hackintosh with an old nvidia card and I had similar shader problems as well. Another OSX guy reported that it worked mostly fine, though. The size of the bosses looks ok.
