東方意地奴 ~ Touhou Ijiyatsu - Monarchly Moron (Ver. 1.00e)

[Cabble]

Is there any way I can help with this project?

[Mounting Jaggis]

We probably need people who can work on Danmakufu. We are using Slaves' art for character portraits, we have the bullet sprites and I finished Zengar's and common fairy sprites, halfway done with the Death Fairy and remaking GPop for a third time. I'll most likely do Rou's sprite too. Maybe creating the background for stages and menu?

EDIT: This is what I got so far for Gpop's sprites. I really don't like how it's turning out and it's giving me a harder time than Zengar's sprites. I'll try to improve it a bit more.

[dustyjo]

Me, Erebus and Slowpoke need sprites too, or are those going to be done by Slaves?


Also, my swimsuit pic must include me posing with my car, like those old calendar pictures (except less slutty plz)

[Nobu]

Skye, you don't like how it's turning out? But they look awesome!

[Maid Xan~]

Skye, you don't like how it's turning out? But they look awesome!

Agreed. That's a pretty good design ^_^

[♛ Apher-Forte]

And how exactly are we going to do that?

draw> scan at 400dpi > send PSD > combine x 4

Oh wow, that looks pretty ZUN style. (heh, it is btw Copyright (c) ). Though I wonder if we are allowed to write copyright as we are using somewhat ZUN material you know. How do other people look at this?

[Cadmas]

I don't even know if you can call it a real copyright. But yeah I'll fix that. Fixed.
I put it mainly to balance the two text lines.


Personally I don't like the (C) thing.

[Drake]

Thank you for including the psd~

[Nobu]

Hooray! \o/ I feel like I did something, if only by suggesting that. Awesome work.

Is it just me, or does the silhouette almost make you think "Reimu" at first?

[Sana]

It's probably because of the ribbon. The only difference is the little bonbon things at the end of Rin's ribbon.

[Mounting Jaggis]

Skye, you don't like how it's turning out? But they look awesome!

It's actually the turning animation that I don't like, but looking at UFO and SA the turning animation isn't that good mainly because it's hard to animate in 4 frames. Sanae's skirt doesn't even move in her turning animation.

oo, pretty

but we don't want to use that for the real cover, since the final boss isn't Rin.

or maybe we could have it be like PCB and have TSO's silhouette be the cover?

Well, seeing how my design was kind of based on Rin's...

Hmmm... Although the TSO silhouette thing sounds like a good idea too...

Anyway, on an unrelated note, I am a horrible monster~

REMEMBER IT EASY~!

I think Rin would be the most fitting for the silhouette though honestly. Rin is the big 'surprise' of the game, and is the important figure to the whole scenario. Plus, the silhouette adds the nice flavor of Rin's half-existence (also fits since we're going to be using a Rin silhouette for the final survival spell ala Resurrection Butterfly). That, and Rin's silhouette bearing a slight resemblance to Reimu is a nice allusion to this being a Touhou game but not. Plus, Rin's status of the 'black sheep' of Touhou kinda fits well as a common symbol for Ijiyatsu.

TSO is technically the ultimate mastermind of the game, I know, but those reasons above are why I think Rin is more suited to this. Maybe TSO's silhouette can go on the back cover or something? Hehe.


But i'm loving this cover mockup. Does anyone else get a strong PoFV/UFO feel from this? I wonder if something a little more dark and less pastel-ly would be more suited, maybe something closer to autumn colors to go with Rin's color scheme?

[Cadmas]

If you guys want another one with tso I'm going to need an outline about the same size.
But I'll guarantee it will look nothing like that one. I'll need to get some more textures and Japanese fonts.

[Nobu]

It's fine for now because it's neat seeing what the Ijiyatsu cover would look like if it were actually a Touhou game, but when it comes time for the actual game demo/full version we're going to want to find a replacement for '東方'. Just to avoid all the potential legal/other complications and "STOP HELEPOLIS" that may arise from it.

For now, i've been playing around by trying different replacements for the 東 to go with the __hou convention. Unfortunately 'Seihou' is already taken, so it'd have to be something else. I was thinking something that captured the fact that the creators come from all parts of the world, not just the east or west or one direction.

EVERYTHINGHOU
:V
But seriously this would be pretty idiot (And fitting for that matter)

When I read this, "Pangaea" sprang into my head. "Pan" is a Greek prefix meaning "all" or "entire", so perhaps there's a character in Japanese that stands for "all"?

Just throwing an idea out there.

全方 (Zenhou), perhaps?

[Sana]

皆方 (Kaihou), maybe? 皆 is supposed to mean "all" or "everything", I think. :S

Zengar: :sword:hou

That's exactly what I was thinking. :3

全方 (Zenhou), perhaps?

With all the random stuff I tried, I don't know how I missed Zenhou. >:|　I really like this.

[Moerin]

Hmmm... Zenhou sounds pretty good, I guess... Well, it's got my vote~

Also, I am even more horrible than was first thought:


...Unfortunately, it seems that I can only draw Yukkuris (at least for the time being).  Oh well.

[Matsuri]

九方  :V

[Nobu]

九方  :V

Don't make me sick my snake on you. >:3

You could make a living out of drawing Yukkuris though. :3 Imouto Yukkuri?

[Moerin]

Well, they are quick, easy, and best of all fun to draw, so... Maybe.

Let's see if I can knock out a Nobukkuri before I shower, then~

[Matsuri]

Fine then.

祭方 :V

[Moerin]

Nobukkuri looks very happy for some reason~  Personally I think this is the best one so far.

...Hopefully I'll be able to move on from Yukkuris eventually, but they'll do for now~  If anyone else wants a Yukkuri, just ask.  I'm... Probably not going to do you otherwise, as I know how... Devisive the little blobby head monsters can be.

[Cadmas]

The next step is bodied Yukkuris.
