Welcome to the forums!
I'd say the concepts you have are very nice. Only the first and second cards might work better as nonspells.
The main problem is that the danmaku is, well, impossibly hard. :U Lots of attacks come very fast with very little warning, and the boss moves very quickly and very far. I can't give you much specific advice on this, you just need to tone it down a lot!
PD: You need shotreplace to play the 9th spellNo idea what this means. Errors occurred at some point.
No idea what this means. Errors occurred at some point.
Did you intend that the player would be able to dodge all of these?
I liked the patterns:
#1
#4- currently seems just a little too difficult
#8- slightly too difficult
Didn't like:
#2- becomes nearly impossible and pattern variation is slow
#3- too difficult and random
#5- is this possible without bombing somehow?
#6- butterflies speed up instantly
#7- dodgeable?
list of spells / non-spells and how timing out
I just tried it today. This was not very balanced at all. This needs some revisions in quite a few areas so I'll give advice in your next release when there are improvements.
The music just didn't fit for me.
This is not related to much really but try to add some originality. Normally I don't care when people make OCs, but you should at least add some spice and flavor of your own to making your characters. They all seem to be based on something existing already and seem to all be related. Then again, What do I know, I'm just a random commenter to everyone else so you don't need to take any advice. However, I advise you to take things slowly and improve your skills.
As long as I'm here, do you have an updated version yet? Also, how far are you in progress?Isn't the game actually, just the script that gave me the idea

"Kaede SC 2 - E." | Ohai Aya's non-spell! ^^; |
"Kaede SC 2 - E." | Dodging this is pretty easy so it's not too bad, until you find yourself trying to reverse directions. It's pretty challenging but it's long and very repetitive... |
"Kaede SC 3 - E." | Oooh, this one's nice! The idea's really great and I like the way in which you've made the spellcard become progressively more difficult. It does get very difficult near the end though and I can't really see how I'm supposed to fit between the shots anymore past some point. |
"Kaede SC1." | This isn't too bad but it gets kind of challenging once the bullets pile up enough. I like where you're going with this one. |
"Kaede Boss Fight" | The pattern's pretty simple and repetitive. This isn't a problem but it just lasts soooo long... Still, with a bit of work this one could be really good. It looks very beautiful too. Reminds me a lot of "Kaede SC 2 - E." (the second one, that is). |
"Kaede Boss Fight - Ex" | Nothing. I'm guessing this is a placeholder for now. :) |
"NS" | Excellent. This one's VERY doable but still offers a reasonable challenge. I really like this one. |
"NS2" | ...One up? Okay, sure, whatever, I'll take it. :) This one's pretty but a bit too fast to enjoy. |
"NS3" | Kinda... boring, really. Much of the non-spell involves doing next to nothing other than slowly rotating around the screen. Not a fan of this one... |
"NS4" | Wow. Looks neat and moves in a very trippy way. It's not too hard to follow the pattern but the red bullets just end my attempts. If I dodge them, it's purely by chance. Maybe reduce their speed a bit? |
"NS5" | This certainly looks very pretty. It's not too hard to dodge but the pattern does tend to screw with you at times. As a late-game thing this could work, otherwise I'd consider reducing the number of bullets to increase the size of the gaps. |
"Kae SC 1 - E." | My first thoughts were, "holy crap, bullets everywhere, wtf?" After a few attempts I realized I was moving too much to deal properly with the smaller pink bullets. It's pretty good but fairly difficult, way too much for "easy mode" if I rely on what the description's saying. |
"Kae SC 2 - E." | Huh, for some reason this one reminds me of Exceed 3rd's Quicksilver "spellcard"... Unless you know what to expect, the boss will probably kill you off right at the start, which is kind of cheap. Overall it's manageable if you avoid making him move too far between circles but the blue bullets are still very numerous and difficult to dodge. Maybe I just don't have the right strategy for it...? |
"Kae SC 3 - E." | This one's kind of wild but not all that bad. That is, until the lines decide to spawn over you - you're not given much time to react and there's too much going on to just blindly throw yourself out of the way. Again, for "easy mode", this is a bit much. |
"Kae SC 4 - E." | Again, unless you know what to expect you'll definitely die off at the start. But aside from that, once you know what's expected of you, it's not too bad. Dodging this one's kinda fun. |
"Kae SC 5 - E." | Not bad. The cards are way too numerous for this to work as an "easy" spellcard but the idea behind it is niiiiice and simple. :) |
"Kae SC6" | Danmakufu complained about some "shot replace" thing. I have no idea what that is. Did you forget to include a file? |
"Kaede SC1." | Wild. But pretty fun. It does remind me a lot of Aya's non-spells, much like the first one diid, but it's cranked up somewhat. |
While the spellcards certainly look very colorful, they also look very impossible. The "easy" version of the spellcards you posted in your first link are also pretty difficult for "easy" spellcards - it's more like what you'd expect when playing on hard. You should consider toning them down a bit - a game that isn't any accessible simply isn't fun. :P
that spellcards on the images are on the lunatic difficultyOut of curiousity, can you capture them?

Yes, It's a new story based on PCB and IN

Very, very disappointing. It looked like an idea that was shaping up neatly if a bit slowly, but knowing now that it's just a collection of plagiarized scripts you attempt to pass off as your own is a total deal-breaker for me. Aside from different bullets and "higher numbers", many of these look identical to the ones in Darkness1's video. There isn't much original effort in this project, if any... In fact Darkness1's original script seems a lot more balanced and well-made, comparing the two...
In light of this revelation, do you intend to restart the project with your own scripts and ideas, or does this change nothing?
Edit: I appoligize, I seem to have missed you saying these were just "random practice spellcards" and not from the game. So, yeah, sorry; I still have to ask though, why are you putting this up for download then? If it's to give an idea of what to expect from the game, the above is likely to still apply. Please write your own scripts for this, don't steal others' ideas. :)
... Do the male characters will be well received by the fans who are looking for a Touhou game on MoTK? "OTL
I'm sorry, but those Spell Cards are from a friend, she told me that "these were some very good Spell Cards that could give me ideas" and put them to pay homage to her, I'm sorry to everyone on MoTK
Do the male characters will be well received by the fans who are looking for a Touhou game on MoTK? "OTLIMO it isn't so much a character's race or gender as wether that character can be interesting and memorable. After all, Rinnosuke, Unzan, Youki, and several other male characters do have their own fanbase so a male character certainly has potential to work. :)
The screenshots look really good. The character portrait(s) in the screenshots (e.g. Toramaru Komatsudzuki) are yours, right?
I don't mean to sound rude but, what's with all the tigers and lions?

...Please tell me thatisn'tis exactly what I think it is. :)
I take it you're foregoing the "youkai" motif entirely in favor of original concepts and characters?
Are you making this in Danmakufu?
