Mabinogi Touhou - A fanmade Game Combining Touhou and Mabinogi

• Roy Mustang wrote on 2010-12-08 18:32
  Hey guys! I created a new game called Mabinogi Touhou: NPC Payback.
  
  You can play it here at: http://kingofrunes.com/?page=mabitouhou
  
  Play as myself, my artist Benier, or my guildmate Kitty and battle Stewart, Edern, or Pierrick with brilliant displays of Danmaku.
  
  If you love Mabi and you love Touhou then this game is for you! :2thumb:
  
  Compete to be the very best and if you are feeling especially good, try my extra stage and take on Ferghus! Watch out though, as usual Ferghus is broken and loves to break your own bullets and of course he loves to drink!
  
  Post any comments you like here about my game as well as any suggestions. Working on my next installment atm. Enjoy!

  WHAT IS THIS I DONT EVEN
  
  YOU ARE AWESOME
  
  Edit: Almost cleared all routes... I haven't given it a second attempt for each yet.
  
  So criticism.
  
  There are a few bugs. Dying on the Forbidden Alchemy Sun Moon spellcard doesn't lead to a game over screen. He just keeps shooting at nothing. Also, pausing at spells where there are slave types that move by themselves dropping their own bullets doesn't work out well because the slaves will keep moving and spreading bullets. Pausing the game and tabbing out/in automatically unpauses the game. Well, thats all I got now.
  
  For gameplay, should probably add a boss tracker at the bottom. Give the character's normal shots less spread, and compensate by making the boss's hitbox bigger. This helps you land more hits overall, and removes some unnecessary objects for the game to process (its how zun does it anyways).
  
  Could use quite a bit of work on the graphics, but I enjoyed it thoroughly anyways.

  Lol, I like this game =x

  Oh man this one's hard.
  
  Some hitboxes are weird too. xD
  
  Needs a fullscreen, some bullets are reeeeeally tiny and hard for me to see.
  
  
  But this is so cool! I didn't think there would be a MabixTouhou Crossover.
  
  Now there just needs to be the opposite crossover with Raymoo and everyone battling youkai in Mabi style.
  
  Ohoho.

  It was fun, but there's a glitch I get consistently where getting hit removes the boss sprite and causes all the spells after the one that I failed to not appear, so I just sort of chill in front of the boss and not much else happens.
• Cucurbita wrote on 2010-12-08 19:44
  Right. One more thing for gameplay. Longer invul frames after being hit. I found myself dying maybe like 3 times in a row against certain attacks. I can't reposition or get myself together fast enough.

  Two things it could use. Make it so you can't die directly after spawning also make it so it clears the screen and puts you back at the bottom. And make a last spell system where you can bomb directly after getting hit.
  And also to be completely honest I don't trust your hit boxes at all.

  Also It seems like bullets love spawning on my character like during edern's spell card about iron ingots.
  
  
  And darn that first spellcard of everyone.
  
  Bullets coming from all edges of the screen.
  Not safe to stay at the bottom like i normally do. xD
• Cucurbita wrote on 2010-12-08 20:01
  Yeah, death bombing is a must. Toss in a graze feature or its not touhou.
  
  Anyways, set a few highscores just now. One more thing. Rune can die during a bomb. Not cool.

  Curses! Someone has done it before I!

  Same here. I was always mumbling about it but never got around to it.

  Ah thank you for the bug reports everyone. It was my first "real" attempt. I'm glad I managed to score a lot more users to test it cause frankly It's VERY difficult to find all these bugs by myself and I haven't had a lot of testers with it to really see what other bugs might come up.
  
  It would help if I had some more info on some of these. Some of the issues I think I know what is going on with them...problem is...honestly I did a terrible job with the code this time around and am addressing a lot of my coding issues in my next installment of this series.
  
  Thanks for the feedback and glad you all love it!

  Want to know a secret? If you stay at the bottom for Edern's second spell and just focus on the red/silver bullets coming towards you, you'll find it much easier...btw...there is a very tiny safe area for that spell if you can find the right position between the two red/silver bullets ;)
  
  UPDATE!
  
  Okay Thanks so much for the suggestions and bug reports. I addressed the bugs that I knew what was going on with.
  
  So...
  
  1) I made it so there is a .5sec delay between when you get hit and hear the sound of you getting hit and when it actually registers as a death. If you bomb within that .5sec delay you can successfully "death bomb"
  
  2) I fixed the bug with the slave types still going when you pause the game
  
  3) I tweaked the hitbox a little to make it more reliable however it's not 100% perfect
  
  Suggestions I plan on Implementing in the next few days
  1) Added a marker on the bottom that will show where the boss' actual location is
  2) Looking into tweaking the players danmaku range
  
  What I will not be implementing
  1) Full Screen mode for now...due to limitations with Flash and my own website. I'll look into this in the possible future though, but due keep in mind I'm limited by my choice of "platform"
  
  Now, for the other potential bugs, I would need more information on those, but please retest it now that I have made these changes and let me know of any other bugs you come across and what exactly you did to make them happen. The more details you can provide the easier it will be for me to replicate the bug and create a fix for that.
  
  Thanks so much everyone for your initial testing so far!

  Yay, got 1st place with Kitty.
  Will probably disappear soon...
  
  Bosses warping to a different location before they start a new card is annoying sometimes because they sometimes spawn on top of me.
  If they always went to the top center before starting a new card, it'd be helpful.
  And yeah, a bit more invincibility after death would be very nice.
• silentselene wrote on 2010-12-09 00:42
  Hitboxes are off center! And the graphics aren't well done! You should have made a sprite.
  
  And make the player's attack 75% transparent, otherwise you can't dodge a thing.
  
  It's a good start for a beginning developer, just work on it and you'll be making awesome games.
  
  I'm really glad I didn't see Game Maker or something like that here.
  
  Anyways, did you use Flash, Flash Builder, or FlashDevelop?
