I'd spends more time on this, but without diagonal movement...  :derp:

Some criticism:
-Whirlwind starts right off and may kill you while the cutin is still on top of you. Not good.
-Your fire bullets seem to have rough edges.
-Your survival is about three times as long as it should be.

Can't remember any more right now.

Edit: Wait, there is a stage? I just played the boss.  :derp:

[CK Crash]

1) You use like 10 times as many bullets as you need to use to make the patterns functional (aimed arrows/kunai, FIRE SPIN)
2) Streaming section is way too long
3) Random shit out of nowhere

I'm going to give this one more shot before I manually remove the Expert;, I just barely reached Moltres last time.

EDIT:

4) Fire spin aimed upwards the entire spell wtf is this shit (this is why I had to remove Expert;)
5) Pretty much the only ho-oh spells that are remotely possible are the random clusterfucks, which is a very bad sign
6) Gust is probably the only well-designed spell you have, but it still lasts way too long

Long story short, put effort into actually balancing the difficulty. If I wanted to die every 5 seconds I would just play Suikama's brofist script.

[KomeijiKoishi]

If you have problems beating this stage even with the DFK players, SOMETHING IS WRONG.

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

Back, I tried it and cleared on my first try. 'Twas annoying as hell...

I'mma just try it again, this time SAVING A REPLAY. Ugh.

HUD is sex

Spoiler:

and gauges, while you are at it

Only complaint would be that it lasts comparatively long. I tend to make my cards on the long side, too.

Yeah, I think it's a bit long though it was mainly to show off that second phase. Would 20~25 seconds be better ?

A bit less rand(x,y) so it looks slightly more structured, maybe stop after a period of frames to toss in something like ascent(i in 0..4){ascent(j in 0..9){CreateShot01(x,y,3-(i/2),360/9*j,yellow02,24);}} or whatever.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind.
I always resort to rand() whenever I can't think of any patterns. The results are stuff that look and play like carp. What do the experts normally do to make fun (and still pretty-looking) spells ?

[Drake]

In a generic circular pattern case... You create a structured pattern that is entirely turned at a random/variable angle; in execution there should be little randomness, but the end dodging result should still have a randomness factor so it isn't purely micromemmed, yet still won't confuse the player or require completely different movements each time. Aiming entire patterns or just some bullets at the player works too.

Lost right after Extrasensory ended while trying as ReimuA, so I had ReimuZ do this instead.

step 1: SetDefaultStatusVisible(false);
step 2:Obj_Create(OBJ_EFFECT);
step 3: ? Object effect etc ?
Step 4: ObjEffect_SetLayer(obj,8);
step5: Obj_SetPosition(obj,somewhere,you want your image);
step6: Rinse and repeat until all shit drawn on screen
step7: Profit.

I'm gonna repeat what I said at bulletforge.

"Okay, commentary. Moltres's firespin is beyond the impossible if you dont have a fast character with a small hitbox. Use Marisa A when playtesting scripts, that's how you judge difficulty. Music would be a nice touch. In fact, ANY sound at all would be nice. Ho-oh's attacks are very nice and well thought out. No real faults there. The stage REALLY needs work. "

[Primula]

Hey guys, check this out, a stage with Nue, Koishi, and Flandre as bosses.

Pretty sweet, I wish I can have good dodging skills to beat them.

CIRCLE HEALTH BARS

[Drake]

Circle health bars are easy to make; it's just really intensive. Take line, make effect object with a bajillion vertices (24 (enjoy your square), 48, 96, bleh) to make a circle, get rid of vertices when unneeded, etc. Drawing it would just suck.

FlanXKoishiXNue's theme is a meme i tell you :V

CIRCLE HEALTH BARS BGM! DO WANT

That BGM is addictive
(Not impressed by the dialogue though as shoving all 3 character's image together with no organization is just ugly)

I really liked the medley theme. And that survival spellcard combo was pretty cool.

[Azure Lazuline]

Not the best danmaku design ever (some of the attacks are spammy, some require "figuring out" or you'll die repeatedly, and there's waaay too much pure streaming), but it's a really nice script overall, and some of the spell cards are awesome.

And to contribute to the thread, although it's not quite a screenshot or video, here's some character art.

Ah, thanks again. I've been wondering how to do that for a while.
How much vertices would a straight gauge need though ?

[Drake]

4.

[Formless God]

:cirno:
Oh, so it's four vertices for the entire gauge and fill it with ... graphic ? I thought it had to be an entire strip :ohdear:


Anyway I found this a while ago.

DMF script for TOHO clock. Consists of a whole bunch of bosses/attacks that come at random. Seems fun enough, I guess.

[Drake]

Just use ObjEffect_SetScale(obj, length, 1). Set UVs to the rect of the graphic as per usual.

A boss with a driller and what looks like a cannon hand. Approved ( '.')b

Makes me wonder Azure, do you base your own characters on something existing or are they really entirely your own inspiration?

[Azure Lazuline]

The character designs (and base sketches) are all by Raibys, not me. He has the weirdest imagination ever, but that's why it's so fun.

Suddenly that nickname you mentioned clarifies a lot of questions I had in my head. Ha ha, how fitting.

@ Stuffman work,

STOP Stuffman ! You should not make such awesome stuff!

[KomeijiKoishi]

Got my hands on the FlandreXKoishiXNue script.

Sadly, no music (and apparently no boss fight either). But a more appropriate "final spell card" that's available separately.

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

No music? No boss fight? You have the wrong version, methinks...
