Project DOAD - Chapter One Complete

[Skie Fortress]

It's an action game, not an RPG. There is a tutorial stage in game for those who for some reason have a mental disability where they can't read and recall text in a forum topic.

~~~ Story ~~~

You are The Kid. You want to be The Guy. To become The Guy you must kill The Gu- Oh wait, wrong game.

It is the morning after a relatively wild party at the Hakurei Shrine last night, in which the resident oni, Suika Ibuki had just a bit too much to drink. Suika wakes up with a killer headache and a upset stomach, but remembers that she has errands to run for a friend. She goes to retrieve her trusty gourd. One of which holds an infinite amount of sake...

...Only to find that her gourd is missing. This wakes her up more than any medicine or alarm clock ever could. Now in a panic with nearly all rational thought nonexistant, Suika rushes off to find her precious gourd. Hilarity ensues.

~~~ Characters ~~~

~ Suika Ibuki ~

The main character. Her gourd was stolen the night before, and now she's frantically searching for it wherever it may be.

~ Marisa Kirisame ~

Considering Marisa's reputation for stea-I mean, borrowing things, she's the first person Suika goes after. But could she actually be innocent this time?

~ Aya Shameimaru ~

Suika runs into Aya after interrogating Marisa. Aya seems to already know about her search, which raises Suika's suspicion.

"Remilia Scarlet"

Suika goes off to see Remilia as part of Aya's possibly bogus advice. Remilia of course has no idea what is going on, but decides to have fun with the situation anyway.

~~~ Game System and Controls ~~~

Arrow Keys: Move Suika around. You can walk in eight directions.

C Key: This will make Suika attack. Press the C Key up to three times to unleash a three hit combo. The last blow send out a shockwave to hit foes that may be a bit further back. Holding C and then releasing it will cause Suika to use her charged skill 'Oni Dense'

Z Key: This will make Suika defend. Defending reduces all damage to zero. You can be guard broken, you can be attacked from behind, and then some things, you just cannot defend against. The Dash Bar turns into a Guard Bar when defending, which lowers upon each defended hit and when emptied, you will be guard broken and take damage.

D Key: This will make Suika use a Bomb/Spellcard 'Oni Sign - Oni Gathering' You can hold a max of ten bombs and each use costs one point.

A Key: Hold A to dash. The Dash Bar continually goes down while A is held and slowly refills when free. When the Dash Bar empties, then Suika will be forced to walk till there is enough meter to dash again.

Double Tap A: This will make Suika do a backtep. All attacks will be dodged during a backstep.

Alt: This will activate Suika's Last Spell, assuming it's available.

Power and Point Items: Power items come in two sizes, large and small. Small power items restore 200 Health, Large ones recover 500 Health. Point items grant you two bombs.

Ehhm..It´s a little bit strange : What is the story about ? You really should try to explain it futher and more detailed, it cannot be the only thing in your story, if it is it is poor, sorry :/ However, the graphics is just awsome !!! Have you done them yourself ?

It is the only thing in the story. This isn't an epic RPG with an enthralling tale woven with eloquent words by the hands of a writing guru whose spent years honing his skills at the craft to prepare for the very day that he would unleash his divine creation for the world to bear witness to, worship, be amazed at for years upon years to come, and have his epic recorded in the pages of world history for centuries.

It's an action game. The story is merely a simple vehicle to move the characters and facilitate gameplay. However, I can reword it to be a little longer and more descriptive if that will ease your complaint.

However, the graphics is just awsome !!! Have you done them yourself ?

The tilesets, character sets, and portraits are original. The battle effects and BGs are taken from other sources that will be listed in the credits.

What's with all the touhou games popping up recently

 

[Skie Fortress]

'All the touhou games'?

I only spy this and Advent Cirno, that's just two. Which isn't much. Where are these others?

Also, 60+ people have apparently missed the miniature text below screenshots. Experiment success! People don't look closely after all. The text has been returned to original size.

Oh of course! Why didn't I think of that!?

That's two more than rmxp.org usually gets on a yearly basis.

 

[Skie Fortress]

Okay, lets try this again.

Part one of the game is complete. Three playable stages, loads of fixes, edits, and otherwise.

First post is edited with new download link, screenshots, and stuff.

 

[LostPetal]

oh god yes another SF game.

SF is one of the best RM makers ever why isn't there more publicity? Mmm.. I guess he didn't join a million forums like Reiver the overrated. Whatever. I'm going to download and play this.

 

[LostPetal]

Dude. This has nothing on Sacred Bonds..

To quote a what one of my heroes would say; "What is this anime shit?"

Dude why speak english but have purely japanese characters/skills/some romanji.. not to mention jokes, expressions and others. I kept gagging and resisting the urge to X out with every cutscene. Im guessing everyone in the game is female.. because if that girl in white is a guy... man.. gross.

The battles were ok but pissed me the fuck off because of the INTENSE lag. I knew every move the final boss made however thanks for the lag when I double A' tapped in some occasions and switched to a run in attack strat it made me run in the opposite direction which got me killed more than once. Ontop of that those explosions were made unbearable by the lag there were times I would run into damage even though the explosions were over.

Unlike Sacred Earth I have no desire whatsoever to replay this game.. though I do have a desire to beat it.

Cannot compare. SEB is an original work, this is a fangame. Apple and oranges.

To quote a what one of my heroes would say; "What is this anime shit?"

The Touhou series is actually a series of shooters/fighting games. There is absolutely no 'anime shit' involved.

Get educated if you wish: http://touhou.wikia.com/

Dude why speak english but have purely japanese characters/skills/some romanji..

Seeing as how this is a fangame, I'm merely using the world that the creator has set up. That means, the characters, terms, and whatnot are used regardless. And since this is a purely japanese series...that's what it is.

Also, japanese skills? The skill names are clearly in english. There are no japanese symbols anywhere in the game.(Aside from meiling's hat) What game are YOU playing?

..not to mention jokes, expressions and others. I kept gagging and resisting the urge to X out with every cutscene.

What japanese jokes and expressions? I didn't use any of those. I think your irrational hatred of anime is clouding your mind now.

Unless you can provide me with in game examples of what you think these 'japanese jokes and expressions' are.

I'm guessing everyone in the game is female.. because if that girl in white is a guy... man.. gross.

Yes everyone in the game is female. You can complain to ZUN about that. And no that girl in white is not a guy.

The battles were ok but pissed me the fuck off because of the INTENSE lag. I knew every move the final boss made however thanks for the lag when I double A' tapped in some occasions and switched to a run in attack strat it made me run in the opposite direction which got me killed more than once.

Well finally, some substance. Unfortunately, I can't really relate to this. I, along with the handful of others who played this experienced no lag during boss battles. Did you have anything else running during play like torrents and downloads or just other resource heavy applications in general?

I will admit that the game does lag when you're on a map with an army of fairies, but it definitely should not lag anywhere else.

Unlike Sacred Earth I have no desire whatsoever to replay this game.. though I do have a desire to beat it.

I appreciate the fact that you liked Sacred Earth, but if you want another SE game, you're going to be waiting a while. This project has my focus right now, and it's obvious that it's not to your particular tastes.

I do thank you for playing though. I appreciate it, especially since it's not really what you'd prefer.

"Oni" - "Demon" (That and all the japanese names. It's a game made in english originally.. why so japanese names?)

"Lag" = The stopping when casting skills and then resuming out of nowhere. All I wanted to do was run away.

Lost Petal, Touhou is originally a Japanese game made by a Japanese person. SKie already mentioned that it is a fangame. Having a japanese names and japanese references in there are acceptable because it fit the setting.

Anyway, you should translate this to Japanese and release it to a Japanese community Do you mind if I give the game link to Thai Touhou community? As for me, I've already downloaded the game but haven't got time to play it. ( College projects are killing me )

Congratulations on finishing this in time! Good luck on the contest

Hima already explained the japanese names bit.

As for 'lag', you mean the pause for skills? That's just how it is. It wouldn't be very balanced if you could walk around freely, blasting everything with your stronger attacks without pause, would it?

Yeah, this is what I tried to say.

I don't know a lick of japanese beyond a few words and statements. I would not even begin to know how to go about doing that. Though it would be nice, I have absolutely no audience here.

Do you mind if I give the game link to Thai Touhou community?

Go right ahead. I don't mind at all.

As for me, I've already downloaded the game but haven't got time to play it. ( College projects are killing me)

I know how it is. I was there once. I look forward to your opinion whenever you get the chance.

Congratulations on finishing this in time! Good luck on the contest

Thanks, although I know I won't even place 3rd. Animu hate and all.

man it always cracks me up when noobs read a japanese word that's been written in english, and they try to claim that it is japanese text. anyway i approve of this game. i am a skieaboo.

 

[Delmaschio]

The game is actually nice. I don't really like Action RPGs but this was kinda fun to play trough. The storyline is the most original in this forum. heh
It's very funny and worth playing. For those with nothing do, craving for a time-killer, I strongly recommend.

(I also experienced some lags during battles)

Sir are you implying that romanji is not a japanese text? I believe that was a self-pwnage right there. Nothing need be said in retaliation.

Also, I am also a Skieaphile note my previous post before playing the Touhou game. However, I have a strong distaste for playing a game that tries hard to be jrpg.. hell I can barely stand playing jrpgs. I hated the storyline in Persona 3 however I played it anyway because I have a complex of dominating whatever game I play. Every secret unlocked, every rock unturned, and every Rule 34'd.

As I said I may not want to play this over (like I did/do with Sacred Bonds [still waiting for him to finish part 2] ) ,however, I would like to finish the game. I also stick by my statement that Skie is one of the best rm makers online. Just hearing him come out and say that he has made a game would make me want to play it blindly.

(I would also like to note that I fight the last boss over and over again. She's pretty easy once you realize her paths. In fact she shouldn't be the final boss.)

 

[Ynlraey]

p.s. she's not the final boss, you have to wait for the last three stages :P
Also this is a fangame of a japanese game so...why bother?

 

[Diedrupo]

Romaji was invented by people who wanted to come up with a way to write/transliterate japanese words. If you think that romaji is part of japanese writing/text, then you need to go back to school. the only way to officially write japanese is using actual japanese characters (kanji/hiragana/katakana).
