Umihara Kawase thread!

Which is the best game? Which is the best field?

I played them on the DS, I liked the SFC game more, but both are great as you guys already said. The SFC game just feels better for some reason.

I want to play "Yumi's Odyssey" or whatever they renamed it in the west, but I'm kinda against digital releases... but I think I'll end up buying it sooner or later.

I believe it's a rope physics. Shun's fishing line is too tight in comparison to original one. 3DS game feels like a nice middle ground, though.

How did all y'all find it?
I remember back in 99 or so, I was looking for things from Home of the Underdogs and it was recommended on the front page, so I downloaded the ISO, burned a CD and popped it into my PAR-enhanced PS and was like "zomg it's good." Then I tried the SFC version and was like "zomg it's better."

Personally, I found the original's rope physics a bit too loose which often had me unintentionally slinging myself to death when I didn't even build up that much rope tension. Shun had it perfect, and it was in no way restrictive either since it has much more complex level designs than any other game.

This was always my favorite theme. Real bummer that it only plays in 6 fields towards the end of the "sightseeing" path. And that it wasn't even reused for Sayonara...

Discovering the flipped field in the original was a great experience. It took me awhile to get past the swinging backpack section, so it was cool to see something completely unexpected afterward.

It's fitting though. It comes at the end of a (relatively) long journey, and it has this sweet air of finality to it. It makes me think of Kawase enjoying her first kiss on a foggy autumn night, with the moonlight glistening on the tranquil waters.

I think it's fucking great.

Although the main mode of playing the game is by freely choosing fields from a field select screen, the unlockable Survival Challenge mode lets you play it like the other games, starting from field 0 and going until game over or an ending, and with only three extra lives. There are a few more backpacks around than there were in the other games, though.

A simple subscription to a TAS channel lead to me seeing a very unusual looking game with an unusually low clear time. The fact you could do jumps while underneath platforms sold it for me.

I played the SNES game a bit. Got stuck on the first boss. Not really sure what I'm supposed to do. I guess just survive?

Also, this game is really weird for me. Like, I really love the physics and the clever level design and all that, but the fish and shit freak me the fuck out. I have like a phobia of sea creatures, so while playing, I go between really enjoying the game to OH FUCK SHIT FISH THING GET AWAY FROM ME OH GOD.

Thinking about getting that 3DS game though. Seems like a fun platformer while I'm out and about.

I had played the first two, but I was not aware of the third one. My favorite of the three games is the second, Meril. Ganbare Natsuki-san is kinda boring and doesn't have the swinging action of Umihara Kawase. Dr. Unikara is pretty much a full on UK clone, but with worse physics and controls. Meril has the best combination of inspiration from Umihara and deviation from the style for me. Although I don't know why Meril does not allow you to play the last set of levels whenever you want.

not technically a /vr/ question. But the 3DS version is the version with the most content right? I heard something about one of the Umihara games having alternate playable characters, does the 3DS version include that? And how do they differ?

I guess the DS version would have the most content, having both the SFC and PS1 games included.

But yes, Sayonara/Yumi is the one with the alternate characters. Regular Kawase is regular Kawase, child Kawase and Emiko are sort of easy mode characters who can restart from checkpoints if you fuck up, and Nokko can move in slow motion during the game's time stop feature, whereas other characters would be frozen in place for a few seconds with the idea being that you use that time to press down the right direction to throw your fishing line.

You should definitely play survival challenges, completing the whole route is very fun and that's how original games was played. As for DS version, I can't comment on Shun, but I like port more than original SNES version, it feels faster and more responsive(haven't played original on real SNES though, so maybe it's my problem with emulator's input lag or something)

Gotta say I miss the progression system from Sayonara in the older games. The gameplay itself and the stages are still great fun, but I liked that you could sort of go "I cleared this, now it's fucking cleared forever" after beating some brutal stage (hello F33) and then Survival mode was something you attempted (or I did) once I'd gotten comfortable with the levels and wanted to put myself through a gauntlet of sorts. It seems like there's less focus on collecting bags than there was in Sayonara, too.

Well, it's probably just something I gotta adjust to.

According to this interview:
http://gosokkyu.com/post/79416970057/odd-odyssey-the-story-of-umihara-kawase-in-this

>—One game I’m curious to learn more about is Densen, a game that was announced as part of the Playstation 2 launch lineup by Sony but was never released. Very little is known about the game, but Keita Takahashi has mentioned it as a game that inspired the original Katamari Damacy. Is there anything you can share about Den-Sen, and is there a chance that it could be resurrected someday?

>Sakai: Densen is a title we planned while I was working at SCEJ. However, before we had spent the adequate time organizing all our ideas, it was pushed forward and announced. As a result, it ended up failing. It was an SCEJ title, so I don’t know whether they have any plans to bring it back or not.

So it sounds like it didn't even get that far.

On the other hand it fits the game to have such a cozy leaderboard. After a while you start to recognize the names and see which levels they struggle with and which ones they breeze through. You're easily at number 15 on your first try, but it's really tough if you aim to be number 1 on a course.

I died about 80 times on S46, very difficult stage.

Sure. Hardcore Gaming 101 and Racketboy are good for starters in general, and if you have any specific genres you're into, you might wanna look into them too. Many of them hide the marketplace until you register however, and almost nobody likes users who join just for them. So as long as you join the community, then there's a nice place waiting.

Half the thread is (wonderful) fanart, and the other half is some casual discussion, that mainly amounts to introducing new people and sharing our experiences moreso than actually discussing the game.

Personally what I'd really like is a mail-based fanclub for Umihara Kawase. There's not too much to talk about, but there'd be plenty of cool and unique things you could do if periodically you got a cool little zine or letter in the mail with new info and fanart and stuff.

I think this is a valid critique. I can only speak for myself, but for me it feels like I;m enjoying some false sense of nostalgia. Cartoons and video games from my childhood were littered with japanese countrysides and celebrated those with extrordinary detail. I think that iyashi lifestyle is much broader than just japanese culture and its approach to gentle living, but at the moment it's just hard to describe it without pointing to japan.

I can totally relate to that. I remember when i was watching Azumanga Daioh last Gear and for some reason the overall simplistic setting and humour made me feel very confortable and nostalgic for some reason. I think that might be a reason to why i love slice of life mangas/animes so much. They have this particular effect on me that can't be matched. It feels awesome that i could finally see someone that feels the same way i do.

I just decided, since there was no dedicated English-language Umihara Kawase community around, that I'd try and start one to get the word out about the series, and so UK fans would have a dedicated place they could talk about the games with other fans.

It's such a great series and I want to do my best to get more people to play it, in the only way I know how.

As a kid I spent summers in the small railroad junction city on the border of three countries, protected on one side
with old mound from overflowing of nearby river, fruit trees growing outside, stuff like school, methodist church, water tower and stadium placed on the same street, and all of it with sounds of train signals and cicadas singing on the background.
I guess, for me it's like destined to be in love with SoLs and sense of 'my summer vacation' nostalgia. I've never heard about 'iyashi' term before, but that board is adorable, thanks for posting the link.

I actually found this way on my regular playthrough, not when I tried to avoid everything. It felt very natural and I thought it must be popular tactic, but then found nothing on youtube. It's slower though than regular way, if you care about time, because you need to wait additional 20 seconds for opening to reel yourself up and it's possible that it's harder or undoable on SNES version, I haven't tried it.
>Any similar tactic for the crab or double tadpole level?
Not that I know of. For a crab, I tried to avoid it off screen, but without any luck. And I didn't know about double tadpole, is it from the first game? I've completed only 3 endings so far (35,55,57) and haven't seen many 30th stages, so I could miss it.

Not him, but I agree that home console arcade games is one of the most joyful experiences you can get with video games. For me the next closest thing to Umihara Kawase is Eighting's Kururin series (not retro), I played Kururin Squash on Gamecube and while it's pretty different tone wise, generally my time with it reminded me of UK (music is similar too). I think, that's the game Umihara would play after coming back home from her adventures.

Meh, it's called Sayonara UmiharaKawase on my PAL 3DS so it must be the American localization only.
Makes it kinda confusing though.

Also, the main girl is called UmiharaKawase on the profile page, it kinda bothers me how they didn't put a space in between, and further on the profile page:
>Special Skill: can swallow medicine without drinking water
>Doesn't Like: Poisonous mushrooms

What is the point of that even?

To be fair, bringing it to english spacing is weird. Especially since it would make just as much (if not more) sense with Umi Hara Kawa Se, since it's four individual words with four individual meanings. So in the japanese version, since her name is just 海腹川背 , it makes sense, but they don't exactly space it out anywhere defining one a surname or anything.

A few days ago while playing Umihara after several hours, the game suddenly sharpened in my vision and my brain went into some form of advanced calculation mode. I saw the physics of jumps and swings long before I made them - I leisurely went through the level, climbing mountains long thought impossible by Umihara fans. The game was my oyster. In short, just play a lot until you've internalized how the physics work.

Of course, it's always like that.
I just got a bit overwhelmed after the first ~15 stages or so it feels like the game suddenly takes a leap in difficulty and adds a ton of different mechanics.

Still, I'm really enjoying the physics and I find myself taking more daring jumps each day.

It's a good game.

Well, I take that back. Just tried it for myself on the PS1 version, and got it the second try (first death was to the shark near the beginning). Fun game. I haven't played it nearly as much as the first or third game, but today I went back and spent a couple of hours on it and unlocked like 20 new levels. Fucking great game.

As much as I enjoyed this one, I think we can let it fade away for now.

Nobody did ever respond to my idea though, and the more I think about it, the more I think it'd be awesome.

I really want to do a physical fanzine for Umihara Kawase. Maybe I can even get a sketch from Kondo to put on the cover! It could have interviews, fanart, maybe even fangames or come with a cassette tape with covers of the music.

I was thinking of fan-art, field guides that take interesting paths and a solid write-up of the history of the games along with the implied story. As most sites just talk about the game mechanics, it would be nice to shine a light on the series from a different angle. Talk about the visual themes and why certain choices were made. An interview with the creator would be excellent for this and could be juxtaposed with an interview of a highly skilled player. Cover the entire spectrum of what makes Umihara Kawase a great game series.

For the overarching design, I'd say go for thea retro 90's style that's so popular nowadays with the vapourware and whatever, but take an approach that focuses more on nature. Contrast print with the computer age with the pixelated background from the SNES version. Use the patterns from Shun to make tacky borders for your text boxes and draw inspiration from cheap magazines from that time. But these things might be more relevant when it's time to do the markup. Right now the most important thing would be for the fanzine to have a driving force behind it. You have a dedicated fanbase here, but that's just potential force. Behind most of these projects there's a person with such belief in the project that they will continue motivating the others for months. Starting a project like this is the easy part, finishing it will be hardest part. And that counts for every link in the chain.

a.k.a. the tadpole boss PART TWO

>>1963680
I'm glad you asked. First I ripped the maps in early 2013 and submitted them to vgmaps, I placed the enemies on their respective positions, added the conveyor guides, etc.
But even with the overlay-filled maps done and accepted, I had a niggling hunch that I would someday need the original, 'pure', untouched maps. So I saved my crown jewel, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/152153442/Umihara%20Kawase%20Maps/everymap.png and a separate PSD with all the enemies as separate layers.

Fast-forward to the present day, I saw a channel on youtube called "Atlas Vids"
The guy overlays playthroughs, TAS or not on top of already-ripped maps, creating the illusion of a way bigger viewport. I loved that shit so I knew I had to do it: take my untouched maps and create my own "Atlas Vid" by overlaying Bobwhoops' TAS on it.
I work at an advertising agency so I have access to a high-end computer AND am pretty good with After Effects. I'm also a ROM hacker.

So, though, I being a macfag, unable to encode any videos, asked the Atlas Vids guy himself to encode two different encodes for me: one without the HUD and one with only the HUD.
Then, Xkeeper made me a lua script that dumps a given RAM address' value to a text file every frame. I hunted down the RAM addresses for camera x and camera y with SNES9X's cheat finder, and used the script with them.

Now I have the maps, the vids, and two text files with every x value and every y value of the camera coordinates of the run. I imported the text files to After Effects and interpreted the values as the x and y position of a null object. Then I anchored the video to the null object and started pasting the maps below it.

The enemies must still be placed manually, but I'm glad I still have the original map workbench PSD, so at least I know their positions. Gotta figure out how to make them move easily though.

>>1963998
Getting the camera position from the emulator is really clever. I thought you used something like the Hugin panorama stitcher for making a video to overlay on the map; might be an option for you if only have access to a recording of certain run.

I think the enemies are fine as they are. If you start animating those, you'll end up animating the conveyor belts, moving platforms and pillars alike. If you already have those visual cues in the original photoshop files, I'd say just import them along with the map and show them at half the opacity. That way people will see which platforms are a hazard and why certain routes were taken. Displaying the original viewport on top of that layer is enough for the scene to make sense.

Anonymous Thu Sep 25 15:34:43 2014 No.1964151

>>1964096
Thanks. And the conveyor belts are very easy to animate and sync, so they're practically already done.
I might animate only the "easiest" sprites in the end, like pillars and platforms and the protruding ceiling pieces.

It's a shame YouTube auto-fucks all videos to 30fps, but thankfully there's a trick to allow 60fps videos. Stay tuned, I'll post more samples in the next thread
