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

[Doomsday]

I would've thought that contributions to the game itself would go into the stickied thread (which is an information thread, granted, but it seems more suitable for contributions, while this thread would be for any fanworks or whatever)

Or maybe have 2 threads, one for contributions and one for everything else (which is what I think is the best way to solve this)

It's mainly for presenting everything that's been produced, game-wise and fanwork-wise. Doesn't seem appropriate.

Or maybe have 2 threads, one for contributions and one for everything else (which is what I think is the best way to solve this)

This I was considering. Can I get a quick vote on public opinion with this?

[Nobu]

We've had this topic brought up in the past of introducing more threads for organization, but what if we had a subforum just for Ijiyatsu stuff? If TSO would be up to making one, of course. The Dating Service has its own subforum and this project has gotten pretty large already, so I think we'd be able to make use of the organization and extra space.

That way, there'd be one less sticky and one less eternal topic on CPMC, and we can actually see what we've done so far by looking at previous topics. It's easy for people to miss whole topics because this thread moves too fast.

I think this is by far the best option. I mean, I know i'm not the only one here who has spent a ton of time digging through old discussion threads just to find something.


EDIT: Let me clarify a bit. We could have a general discussion thread in this subforum as well just for comments that wouldn't warrant a whole topic, but when we start getting involved in one topic, we can split off the discussion into a separate topic so we'd be more organized.

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

I like Nobu's plan (of course provided TSO is willing to make the subforum =P), but the general vs. directly game-related separate threads is cool if not.

[Nine West]

FINE DESTROY MY INFO THREAD IF YOU WANT THEN ;_;

Spoiler:

If the topic is going to be splitted, can I be the one who organize the fanworks? :V

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

FINE DESTROY MY INFO THREAD IF YOU WANT THEN ;_;

It can go in the subforum too~

[Hello Purvis]

I am against a subforum because I'd stop paying attention to it; having a generalized thread is easier. ;_;

Also I call Manipulation of Manipulation as my ability. =[

[Nobu]

Nwbi, nothing would happen to the information thread except it'd be moved, it's still useful to have all the major info stuff compiled into one place. :3 And that's all you baby.


Purv: :dwi?: =[

But seriously, with one generalized thread is a lot harder to keep track of what's already been said, and talk about multiple topics at once (we've seen how topics have been buried before), and it'd be nice to have a place to branch off to by having another subforum.

We could still have the general discussion thread, and when topics branch off or new topics are started they can be linked here for you lazy bums

I just missed a whole shitload of stuff and now I need a recap. First of all though, I really don't care whether this stays in one thread or we get a su-

[20:17] <Drake> HOLY
[20:17] <Drake> YOUKAI
[20:17] <Drake> JESUS
[20:17] <Drake> HELE ILU SO HARD

bforum.

Wow. This is great.

[dustyjo]

Subforum where?


also swimsuit pic sdgdfshnsfj

[Gpop]

I'm for another subforum. That way we can have threads like fanart, fiction, programming, dialogue, and anything related into one subforum without cluttering up one thread.

You miss much, aside from 'Helepolis is fantastic', but this is hardly new information. :V

I just think the subforum or at the very least multiple threadswould be a boon to productivity, since things would be more organized, we could have multiple topics going at one time and an easy way to see what we've done, and(ry

[FinnKaenbyou]

I'm just worried this game is starting to piss the mods off now, so expecting them to give the game its own subforum is gah. See Edible for the most vocal example. -_-

[Helepolis]

IMO:

Stick with it as it now is. The scripters have made their own thread in Rika's section where we post  Danmakufu related contribution this includes ingame images / sprites and such.

It doesn't bother me atleast ( don't know about the other scripters )

About the spellcircle: Seems various opinions are given and thus making it harder to choose a temporarely placeholder ( meaning I yet have to make the final choice again :V ) ohwell, little longer time granted.

[Nine West]

Or we could, you know, post strictly game-related ideas on the Programming Thread instead. But nobody seems to look at Rika's Garage, so. :V

[FinnKaenbyou]

The problem is a lot of that stuff doesn't really fall under programming - things like dialogue, music etc.

Anyway, it seems like right now we're doing okay in terms of not overflowing with fanart, so we'll probably survive keeping it as it is for now. If things get hectic, again, though, I'll probably make a separate threat for fanart/fanon etc.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

so I guess from here on I will post fanart in my art thread then... that is if it survives another wipe.

Yeah, we need more fanworks to clobber this thread. \o/

[Serp]

I'm having trouble picturing what you mean

I probably should've just posted a picture in the first place:



Note that the lines indicate shooting, not stinking.

I like the way you think. Even if I can't even understand it.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said that to me, I'd already have my upper atmospheric doom castle.

I'm just worried this game is starting to piss the mods off now, so expecting them to give the game its own subforum is gah. See Edible for the most vocal example. -_-

Edible is grumpy moe.  If the mods wanted to shut this thing down, we'd know about it by now.

Whoaaa Raiden

Edible is grumpy moe.  If the mods wanted to shut this thing down, we'd know about it by now.

I don't really see Edible this way, though. He'll approach the matter in another way if he was unhappy about it.

[Sodium]

Rou and Serp: You could've just said "PCB SakuyaB but with curvy lasers". =V

[Serp]

Whoaaa Raiden

Damn, now I worry that Ruro's going to give my Ijiyatsu self a straw hat.

I don't really see Edible this way, though. He'll approach the matter in another way if he was unhappy about it.

This is what I was trying to get at. :V

Rou and Serp: You could've just said "PCB SakuyaB but with curvy lasers". =V

It's not quite the same - what I was trying to get at with my drawing was that the sideways shots don't go off at a constant angle, but instead arc across the screen.

[trancehime]

In lieu of Serpentarius' post, I took it upon myself to propose 3 different ideas for GpopB (me)

In black is the main shot, in red is the shot-type effect.



Type A: straight, zig-zag. Self-explanatory



Type B: straight, split, dependent on location, encompasses entire screen. Weak shots that can cover all parts of the screen dependent on player location.



Type C: curved, random selected spots for hitting. The entire curve counts as the shot itself, and will damage anything it comes into contact with.

[Nobu]

Er, Trance-kun.. GPopB is already being worked on. It's a Youmu/Myon-like shot type.

[trancehime]

In other words I fail at reading Rika's Garage.

Disregard my shit then. Le sigh.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

I like the random curve idea, looks pretty groovy actually.

[Nobu]

In other words I fail at reading Rika's Garage.

Disregard my shit then. Le sigh.

Hey, Rou A and B are still in the works. So your ideas still contribute to the pool of shot types ideas we can consider.

[Naut]

In other words I fail at reading Rika's Garage.

Disregard my shit then. Le sigh.

I can change it if people think your ideas are better.

The last one is kinda cool but has extremely random DPS (or I can just select predetermined spots from an array at random, then refresh the array once it's depleted... Which will give the look of random shooting, but the dps will be consistant to most of the spots above the player over a certain time period, say, three or four seconds. Don't worry -- the programmers know what I mean). The shot type will look very messy though.

Maybe some fusion of idea #1 and #3...

I probably should've just posted a picture in the first place:

Note that the lines indicate shooting, not stinking.

This is the effect I was trying to picture in guess #2, but my MSPaint fails. \o/
Also, fucking lasers. It's doable though, if anybody agrees with the idea. Keep in mind, however, with so much additive blending (drawing curved lasers), some people may suffer significant slowdown, so I might have to convert the shot type to actual bullets instead of lasers, to spare people the computer bleed.

_{Damn guys whats with all the lasers}

[Mounting Jaggis]

_{Damn guys whats with all the lasers}

Cuz lazors r awsom

[Nobu]

_{Damn guys whats with all the lasers}

Rou = Shou. And Shou = CURVED LASERS OF DOOM

But seriously, dunno.  :V We should have at least one laser shot type though, I think.
