Finally down to the last third of programming behaviors!

I've only got the Mugentsu and Gegentsu from LS to place in their behaviors, then follow up with Mystic Square's crew's behavior,Sarielkkuri and Konggara yukkuri non-humanoid PC-98 creature, and finally the animals.

Also need to test out the recommendations coding I got for Rukkuto's self destruct burn time.

This last 3rd will probably the most time consuming since these characters are more special in their own way compared to the rest.

Also I think I'll bring up something special I'm considering adding for the next update following the migration to 0.34.xx update.

All I'll tell you about it is that the talking to some friends on MotK about it and they loved the concept since they feel it would be refreshing compared to what I've been doing up to this point.

Hint: It's a familiar animal that I've already added in previously but looking into further...

Also Rinnosuke about night creatures: Depends on what your looking for? Are you looking for the Touhou character night creatures? Cause if so, it's going to be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. They're one of a kind and don't really capture others to breed more. Which is perfect since I wanted them to be special in thier own way. The only way I can recommend to locate them is to during map generation turn on your caves in the map, and export info and look up the cave which your Touhou lives in. Locate said cave through legacy then you'll find them easily.

Otherwise the hardway would be to go through adventure mode till you find a Touhou character.

Episode 2 of my LP for this mod is now up ^_^

As I mentioned in youtube, you did a good job with it and appriciate your work. Course you still stumble on a few things like pronouncing Yukkugasa which is "You ku ga-sa" but I understood that, what really shocked me was not saying "Moe" properly.

Moe is a pretty popular coin word in today's otaku culture so some will turns heads if that were mispronounced. The best way to prounouce it is moe-a or better yet reffer to 0:40 of this video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvzyYQ1FL_g

Otherwise, you did good and I'm looking forward to more when you get the time since I know your a bit busy ATM with your life. Good Luck with your gf : )

Anyways quick report!

About 1/2 done now and working at the end of dim.dream

Sadly I couldn't finish the update in time for the release. But it's not going to matter first thing is first. I'm going to get these behaviors done so I can release the 0.31.25 version.

Then I'll march onward to working on 0.34.01 or whatever updates come beyond that.

Also until someone can help me with temporary burning following exploding upon death, Rukkuto will just be made of iron and be somewhat the size of a yusakuya. I will test her out in a bit.

Wherever you put them rats, make sure that there's corn nearby.

If there was way to make food cure something I would! But sadly nothing like that exists yet.

Course I have hit a minor snag ATM....

Currently I've been blasting through the yukkuri list alright so far, course it's going to likely slow down coma around and after rukkutokkuri.

Here's the problem I'm having at the moment.

I talked to a few fokes of mine about the mod and discussed what Rukkuto and what she should do. Basiclly I kinda decided that since she's kind of a robot, she should have an iron body. But then we proceed on to the more problematic thing.

We later bring up about how she's nuclear powered and I was suggested that she should blow up upon death. I'm certain by now you know Utusho yukkuris do this too.

But in this case there's some issues I have with this one....

You see, Rukkuto yukkuris are likely to appear above ground and if you capture one and tame it and then stick it in the right place, and let it die, you might as well be setting up an eternal burning trap. Which I've considered to be too OP for above ground sieges.

Thus defeating the "Losing is Fun" feel.

The problem is the corpse will burn forever and the fire will never die unless water is poured on it....

To my view, the only way this would be fair is if the burning ends somewhere down the road. But to be honest. I don't know how to stop the corpse from burning forever. So that why I'm hoping someone here has a suggestion or some direction they can point me in to help me fix this problem.

If so let me know. Otherwise, I'm leaning torward just giving rukkuto an iron body.

Oh and also have this picture as an update since I'm 1/3 done.

Posting one more update before getting some sleep. (which won't be much)

All the yukkuris from Touhou games 1-5 are now added.

This means now I can turn my focus onto the non humanoid creature. Yuugan Maggen which will mainly be 5 eyes with an electric core. Evil Eye Sigma, Rika's specialized demonic tank which looks like a giant eye with wings and tentacles.

Then it'll be onward to working on other small animals to add into the world of Suika Fortress to make the world more like Gensokyo.

The Tsuchinoko, a fat snake looking creature that lives in forested area and is extremely rare thus they will be highly valuable.

The Sake bug, which will replace the purring maggot in it's entirety. While it can't be used to make sake, you can probably milk it's extracts to make sake flavor food ingredients (suitable for onis)

Both of these creatures made an apperances in Strange and Bright Nature Deity.

Then finally a few animals that Kasen Ibaraki uses from Wild and Horned Hermit.

The Dapeng which is a re-introduction of the "Giant Eagle"

And the Raijuu a small rat creature that can release electrical bursts from it's body and bite can cause anyone to become unmotivated (thus become sleepy real quickly)

These critters should hopefully be done in the following day when I'm awake.

That should cover it for now.

Any feedback would be appriciated.

ohwaitwhat?

If I'm not mistaken, that's the first word from Baughn in like, a year.  I guess that makes sense if updates to the SDL can only been done near to a (major?) release. 

OR

Baughn is only summonable once a year, on Scamps' birthday.

OR

Baughn IS Scamps!

And if that's so, how on earth does a cat learn to do SDL to the extent that it does it good enough for Toady to depend upon? And in 3 years no doubt?

The mysteries of the universe are always amazing.

(and remember this: scamps would of been coding SDL since a few month old to make things even MORE interesting.)

Let's explain it again:

Toadyh chose to code everything himself because he wants to make the game the way he envisioned it and also it's his "lifetime project". You don't mess with a project that one has commited to work on for his life.

Only on "Extremly rare" conditions does Toady get someone to help him. Like Baughn, he asked for his help since he had more SDL knowledge compared to what he knew. But really otherwise, he doesn't want people messing with the inner frameworks of DF.

/topic

I would think Toady would at least announce that he's compiling the game for the release. Because that's like the only step he would have left after he finishes all the small tweaks he doing right now. Though the main page being down confuses me as well. Perhaps he's preparing mirrors for the release?

Ok I wanted to let you know that I had some complications getting my old Suika Fortress file to transfer from my old computer to the new one because it kept crashing. Thankfully I resolved the matter via USB drive.
So I won't have to rebuilt everything form last save.

 Also my new version of my graphic design software arrived this week, which came at the most appropriate time since my computer was dying and couldn't even run ANYTHING without crashing. This was also why Suika Fortress was on hold for so long. So now I'll be able to move forward with working on the sprites and content.

I shall be getting to work on it as of today, so I hopfully have some to present to you all in a few days. Also I'm glad your waiting warming Mush, cause you need to be patient with me since things come up ever so often.

I'll post updates as I work on this. Course this release update will be for the 0.31.25 version. I won't be trasffering everything to the new version till I complete everything on the current to-do list.
