Touhou in 3D, Fuck yearh!

[O. Van Bruce]

Yeah, you read well. It seems some japs are developing a 3D version of Touhou Koumakyou - EoSD.

Seems like the game uses some MODS of Miku Miku Dance. You move like in the Starfox 64 interface and the patterns are pretty much the same but now in diagonal also. Elements like Hitboxes and spellcards are still there.As a plus, you can even make the game use 3D tech (those red and blue glasses) to make the game even more awesome.

PD: Well... yeah, it's not exactly a shmup, but screw it, this is fucking awesome... Downloading.

[Minoira]

Huh. Interesting. Whilst it's definitely pretty nice technically speaking, the gameplay itself looks to be a bit of a mess.

[Udderdude]

Starfox with little girls in dresses.

My life is now complete.

>_>

[Naglfar]

This looks... difficult to play without the 3D glasses. But just the concept is awesome.

[Bananamatic]

looks pretty wank so far

[Jockel]

Wow. Looks shit.

[Obiwanshinobi]

Wasn't she wearing hakama in the canon games?
The concept is promising indeed. Been playing Wild Guns lately and boy, is the genre neglected...

[Treasurance]

best shmup in a while

edit: THIS FOR STGT PLZ

[shadowbringer]

speaking of 3D Touhou, there's also Master Burner Climax, haven't played either, though.

[Bananamatic]

just tried it

I must say, UFO feels like playing DOJ for the first time ever compared to this

[Observer]

It's loltastic. Can't blame them for trying though. It's one of the things I like of the doujin scene, they go crazy and try all kind of insane stuff.

Now, mine is locked to 30fps... Is this the real speed? I think the only other game that ran at 30fps for me was Genetos.

[O. Van Bruce]

Yeah, it's 30FPS, no more.

and what is DOJ?

[Observer]

Yeah, it's 30FPS, no more.

and what is DOJ?

DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou. Often regarded as one of the most brutal shooters around, especially the White Label.

[O. Van Bruce]

Now I'm lost... did Banana said that the game was easy or difficult?

English is not my native language so...

[Observer]

Don't worry, what he's saying is that the game is easy.

You only have to worry about targetting the enemies, Reimu/Marisa autofire automatically so that makes things quite accessible/easy.

People here don't like the Touhou series that much. But if you want to try some other shooters, DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou is available on the PS2 and MAME. It's really hard.

Back to this game, it seems to be taking the Master Burner Climax approach but with a much lulzy overall design. Kusoge (I think this is the right word) at its best.

[Blackbird]

Points for trying something different, but this looks pretty sloppy. Hard to tell where the bullets are in relation to your hitbox.

[Bananamatic]

I tried extra and lunatic and it's an unplayable clusterfuck

[finisherr]

the thing about rail type shooters is that it's hard to perceive where the actual bullets are in comparison to your hitbox. With bullet hell I could see that getting sketchy really quickly.

[Weak Boson]

It didn't run very well on my computer. I still think it's pretty cool. It's nice to see that bullet hell in 3D is possible, even if this doesn't actually work that well. The problem is that many of the patterns don't make the transition to 3D very well. A good example of this is that one the second boss does where she freezes the bullets and then they all start flying about in random directions. You just end up with bullets moving all around you, which is fine in 2D because you can see them all, but just means instant death here. It'd be really cool to see someone build a game like this from the ground up, though.

[ShmupSamurai]

O_O





_ *sound of jaw hitting floor*

And here I thought S&P 2: Star Successor was the closest thing to 3D bullet hell.

[Mad Mage]

Yeah, you read well. It seems some japs are developing a 3D version of Touhou Koumakyou

Y'know, it's not that hard to avoid racially sensitive words when reporting on stuff. I doubt you'd use say, "niggers", are developing something. I'm not even some PC nazi. It really seems like like you went out of your way to use the outdated and obsolete term "japs". I mean, Japanese people have developed all the official Touhou games, so why go out of your way to use a racially offensive term to specify that this game is also developed by Japanese people? Fyi, that's rhetorical. I'm just emphasizing to other people what an ass you are.

[BPzeBanshee]

I like the idea and have always wanted to eventually have a go at something like this but not with Touhou stuff and certainly not with the current issues this engine has.

Good in theory, crap in practice it seems.

[TenshiP]

Yea... I will try this once the game is polished up.
