C81: Kengeki Musou Thoughts

December 30th, 2011

     

It’s still pretty as all hell, but the controls can still be touchy, the level design is still tedious and far too long, and the enemies are barely even speedbumps. The bosses can be fun (and hard), but there’s definitely a lot of things that need tweaking. Collision detection is a huge one, as it’s not at all rare to find bosses trapped inside walls. Aya seems particularly prone to it, but bosses in general seem poorly tested. The frog, for example, glitched me between it and a wall then proceeded to slap me to death while I couldn’t move. Marisa’s master spark also literally pinned me against a wall from right next to her and took basically my entire life bar… and then part of the next one. It definitely needs (more) patching and could use some improved mechanics and controls to be more than just an afternoon’s distraction. Still pretty though!

As usual, I’ve been slacking when it comes to Comiket stuff.

C81: Youkengeki Musou PV, New Freudenstachel Trial

December 11th, 2011

Yep, it’s that pretty pretty Youmu platformer that’s been making the rounds in various trials for the last couple Comikets. It’ll be out in its full version, complete with strange robots and a significantly more advanced (thank god) combat system this year. Meanwhile, Freudenstachel has gotten a number of updates to its trial over the past week. I think honestly that Erka;es has actually gone insane with how long they’ve been working on it. Lastly, if you were curious about the character additions for the latest expansion of Touhou Sky Arena, while the page isn’t updated, all three are posted to their blog; Flandre, Reisen, and Mokou with the first two playable for the trial to be released at the end of the month.

Golden Reverie † Cross and Miracle ☆ Party PVs

November 15th, 2011

      

I guess this is as good an excuse as any to get back into paying attention to the doujin game scene since Comiket’s approaching. Maybe this will tweak Witch Fighter DX into a better game, but I’m not holding my breath. Fanwank Black Battler just makes my brain ache. I think MBAACCPC will overshadow all other fighters anyway. Aquastyle’s putting out yet ANOTHER expansion/spinoff to their roguelike too, now with party mechanics. Elsewhere, Area-0’s announced anothe expansion to TSA with zero info, Werk’s off wasting their talent doing Im@s pornography, and Frontier Aja made the bombshell announcement that they’ll be selling… a calendar. Who knows, maybe that means that Freudenstachel will finally come out.

Not About Breasts At All

August 28th, 2011

Actually, I have no idea where the breast show has run off to. I skipped it last week because finding something ridiculous would have required sitting down and actually watching it. That’s a 20 minute commitment that I’m just not willing to make. This week, it’s just not appearing at all. Probably a blessing. So, uh… here’s all the Big Bang Attacks from BBBR. They finally hit version 1.03, which means that they’ve got all the moves for all the characters implemented. Personally, I would have thought that’d be the goal for 1.00. Now they can get back to fixing all those infinites. Also FYI, I’ve got a meeting tomorrow morning, so Yuruyuri and "Why Am I Still Watching This?" are going to be late by at least an hour or two… which may be the real reason for this post.

C80: Big Bang Beat Revolve — Kinako

August 16th, 2011

      

Well, I still haven’t been able to get my grubby mitts on it, but I doubt I’d have much to say that isn’t obvious anyway. Videos are starting to make their way onto NicoNico though, and while the majority are of funny glitches or silly infinites (I’m a fan of Senna’s corner face-slam one in particular), Kinako’s the last character not from BBB, so I figured one of her combo videos was worth tossing up one an otherwise slow pair of days. Other Comiket stuff… eh. I do recommend checking out the full version of Age of Ethanols if you like Age of Empires, but I’m a Civ guy. RTSes will never replace my OCD need to tweak every single specialist for half an hour each turn. They did give it a massive graphical overhaul from its earlier days and has netplay already built in to annoy your friends.

C80: Obligatory Ten Desires Post

August 13th, 2011

Yes, yes. I’m aware that it exists, and that it has a tanuki. Yada yada, etc etc. I’m still waiting for the Touhou leprechaun. It’ll keep until I have a day free where I haven’t spent most of the evening staring at Photoshop.

C80: Grief Syndrome PVs

August 11th, 2011

       

When it rains, it pours. Tasofro put up a couple videos of Grief Syndrome in action. It does look a little more simplistic than I was hoping, but the spritework and (magical girl) animations do look up to Tasofro’s usual quite good level, and you know how I adore sprites. Hopefully the multiplayer will be hectic enough in that Gunstar Heroes kind of way to make up for it. The music’s often the best part of Tasofro’s stuff anyway, which makes it all the funnier to me that one of the clips they put up doesn’t have sound. Oh well, c’est la vie.
