It's a shame I can't read japanese. I suppose I'll wait for the inevitable fan translation, then.

I hate how asterism is disabled as soon as you die. I'm never going to be able to clear it :( I guess I'll just wait for a youtube video.

By the way, there's alot more unknown music slots than I thought there would be, is there more after stage 6, or what? Thats another thing, I hate the whole "unlocking music" thing. In touhou, you can still listen to it, it just gives you a warning that you haven't encountered it yet.

Could you please take a screenshot of the music player? Since I cannot see most of the text in the game, the player interface is completely empty for me. I noticed that I can listen to all of the tracks from the normal game, plus that unused Stage 2 boss music (it was on Endless Shirafu's blog under the name "Platenocrypt"), and some new track that was listed under Stage 6 Final. It sounded a bit like an alternative credits music.

But I wonder what could be in here...

There are some new tracks in the 1.30 patch, but I have no access to those.

And while we're on it, look at all that "new!" I imagine that's a lot of documents. It's probably all Japanese, anyway, but holy crap. Browsing the "DOCUMENT" page also causes massive game lag for some reason.

And this is my "UNLOCK" interface. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. I feel like a cheater for unlocking the final achievements in stage practice. But like Lord Satori, I am unable to 1cc the game on Another or Akashic just yet.

That being said, I wonder if the credits sequence changes if you 1cc the game on Another or Akashic Asterism. I've only cleared Asterism on Advent, and it doesn't really change the final boss, unlike the higher difficulty modes.
To be continued. See you false memory syndrome...

Since you can apparently see text in the Music Room, and presumably in other sections like the Tutorial, are you using a Japanese version of Windows? A lot of us cannot see text in the game after applying the patch, and so far the common trend between all of us is that we're using non-Japanese versions of Windows. If you are too, then maybe you're doing something that enables you to see the text, and it would be helpful to know what that is so that we can pass the information on to the developers.

∀sterism ∀kashic True Final Boss

Such a silly boss fight but it definitely lands a spot on the shelf of "Great shmup moments!".

The text works fine for me on my English Windows Vista, but I have my non-Unicode setting set to Japanese.

Thanks. Ugh, I can't find a pattern.

On my Windows XP computer, I can't see text no matter what. Version 1.00, 1.01, and 1.30 display no text in the Tutorial and other sections added in version 1.30. I never tried the game on this computer before, so perhaps the text was never visible.

On my Windows Vista computer, I can see text in the Tutorial in version 1.00 and 1.01, but not version 1.30. Of course the new sections added in version 1.30 are also blank.

Whether or not I use Applocale or have my non-Unicode settings set to Japanese doesn't seem to matter.

Well I've had the non-unicode on my computer (running windows 7) set to Japanese for awhile now, so that might be it.


edit: unused track? are you referring to the omake boss?

also, thats an awesome vid. One more thing to add to the list of things I'll never accomplish.

Ageha, huh?

That f***ing final boss.

I... guess I'll get around to updating the method list sometime this week.

In the meantime... So the main character is named Ageha, right? It seems to be "アゲハ", which apparently also stands for "butterfly". Huh.
I dug this up from the blog:
今回自分がジャケを担当。
こんな感じになりました。
はい、このお方が本作の「自機」です。
ちなみに、自分は「アゲハさん」って呼んでます。

せっかくなのでアゲハさんについてちょっと書いてみましょう。

アゲハさんは、∀kashicverseという世界における最高戦力の一体です。
世界の秩序を守る警察とか軍隊的ポジションで、色々な問題を「力」で解決することがお仕事でした。
ちなみに、アゲハさん一人で国一つ滅ぼす事も余裕ですよ。怖いですねぇ。
そんな向かう所敵なしのアゲハさん、しかし、今回の「敵」は少々厄介な相手でした・・・・・・。

みたいな感じです()

落ちとかありませんが今回はこの辺りで!
Google Translate Version:
His charge of Jake this time.
I became like this.
Yes, this work of this gentleman is the "ship".
By the way, your will call me "Ageha-san".

We'll write a little bit about the butterfly's so much trouble.

Ageha's, is a heck of the best forces in the world that ∀ kashicverse.
That the militaristic positions such as police to keep order in the world, will be resolved in the "power" the various problems was your job.
By the way, that you destroy one country alone Ageha-san It is margin. What a scary.
Ageha's no enemy, however, this "enemy" was a bit harder opponent place to head such · · ·.

It is a feeling like ()

It is not such as fall, but around here this time!

Google is meant to translate webpages so you can navigate around comfortably and get the gist of what they're talking about. NOT so you can translate plots.

I don't know anything about the game nor its setting so I've translated it as literary as I can


This time, Jake is responsible for himself.
It seems like it became like this.
Yes, this lady is the “player character” of this work.
Also, she calls herself “Ageha-san”.

Because of the effort of (introducing) Ageha-san, we’ll write a little bit about her.

Ageha-san is one of the best forces in the world called ∀kashicverse.
Military positions, such as the police, retain the order of the world. Their job is to resolve the “forces” of various problems.
In addition to that, Ageha-san alone has the capability to destroy an entire country. Scary, huh?
Heading towards such enemy bases is nothing for Ageha-san. However, the “enemy” this time was a bit tougher opponent…

It’s a similar feeling to…

…falling, yet such a thing won’t happen this time around here!
(the literal translation is actually “falling (such things like that) are not to be had, this time around here!”)

The text shows up if you set the system locale to Japanese. Applocale doesn't cut it. Maybe the good people at gensokyo will tackle this like they did hellsinker.

Or, if you can stop being so impatient and let the devs find out what's going on so we don't have another Stella Vanity incident, it'll be helpful. :P They have already being advised, they are aware of an overseas following and they have been cool enough to reply and all. Cool fellows indeed. Just give them time. Here is a quick update from the Twitterz:

https://twitter.com/endless_shirafu/sta ... 2675078145

Basically, a celebration thingie for the release of Asterism.

Try deleting the "score.dat" file from your game folder. See if that does it. Essentially, it has to be the file that is edited most recently by the game.

Btw, I asked the devs about the Ageha question and they just replied it is story related and, for now, no answers, lol. In short, we could be having someone like Minogame here, who's neither a guy or a girl, just something else. It kind of fits considering he/she/it absorbs the fifth boss and "phase-shifts" into something else entirely. So, yeah, for now, neither a guy or a girl, just something else :P

edit: I fixed the text problem by switching my entire system settings to japanese as suggested. This is not just the non-Unicode programs setting, you also need to put the time/date setting into japanese. That should do it under Windows 7, Vista, etc. I'll test on Windows 8 today.

Thanks for the correction. Like I said, I don't know anything about this game and there wasn't any indication in the Japanese text as to whether or not Ageha was a male or a female.

So she's a girl, then! All is right in the world. I could not handle seeing yet another video game character turn out to be a trap. Ageha is a girl, plain and simple. Let cute lolis be cute lolis.

Anyway, changing the system settings, non-Unicode programs support, time/date and all, to Japanese does not seem to work on WinXP SP3. Not that I am particularly interested in the plot right now, though. I still have to beat the game on Asterism Another and Asterism Akashic. I guess it only works on Vista/Win7, and MAYBE Win8. Oh well.

I really should start learning how to decipher the moon runes. Apparently, according to Twitter, the developers tried to 1cc their own game (and failed miserably).

Code: Select all

#Akashicverse 1.50をプレイ。 Name:HART     Score:2175447548 Dead:1 (All:∀kashic)
Mwahahahaha! You tried, Hart.

Actually, that's a joke from the devs directed to a user who misquoted the version number of the game. Notice it says "1.50". Latest version (and the only one out so far) is 1.30. Said user quickly realised of the mistake for increased lulz.

This is a thing with japanese, that you need context to a lot of things or they just don't make sense, get confusing as hell or end up meaning something completely different.

Version 1.31 is out. It's a bug fix patch, but unfortunately it does not address the issue of missing text on systems running Vista or higher that don't have Japanese non-unicode settings.

http://endlessshirafu.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-57.html

At Comiket 84, Endless Shirafu will likely be selling a fan disk containing an OST, an arrange album, a mini-game, and possibly other things. Hopefully it hits the stores afterwards.

Looks like using the fake clone actually works at the final boss' "throw swords and shit at you" phase now. Feels somewhat easier all around for that boss too.

Aisha did not mention that the minigame is apparently called... "Himeno Striker", so it might be at least tangentially related to Akashicverse. While the game OST is rather average in my opinion, I'd still like to buy it. I'm also definitely looking forward to the arrange album.

Yeah, it would be cool if someone uploaded an Another/Akashic Asterism 1cc. This game is actually pretty hard, despite being a gimmick bullet hell. I can't beat it on anything besides Advent yet because of my reckless playstyle and aiming to always maximize my score, even when I'm supposed to be playing for survival.

The developers know about the bug, but there is no ETA for a fix as far as I'm aware. I think the main problem is that none of the developers can replicate it, since they all run Japanese versions of Windows. There is always the workaround for Vista and higher, but I think it's a little inconvenient... :?
