Bay 12 Games Forum

Well I'm offically done with Katawa Shoujo now. Which means I can now put full attention of Suika Fortress. So do expect updates to start rolling in very soon!

Not to sure I'll get this done before the release of the new Dwarf Fortress though. Lots of testing has to be done after I do the sprites.

Also you did pretty good this time Ulr1mara. Thought you still stumbled with your pronouncing, it's alot better compared to where you were before hand. So I approve of you work thus far and look forward to seeing how this LP plays out. ^^

I know that we all talked about SOPA and PIPA and now ACTA. But recently a friend of mine pointed me out to something pretty important.

ACTA in it's final version. Is mearly a treaty designed to allow those that sign it to gain the power to monitor everyone's actions on the net. But only, if they can pass a bill that can allow internet censorship.

So on it's own ACTA can do nothing.

However, if a bill passes through the government and becomes law. ACTA can be enforced based upon the bill that becomes law.

So in otherwords. ACTA is only as powerful as the bill that pass through congress and becomes law.

And this also means that SOPA and PIPA were the US's attempt to put laws in place to enforce ACTA when(and if) the European Parliment activates it.

Here's a link that explains it all.

More or less, internet copyright censorship battles are far from over. Since our governments will try to put bills on the table to pass so they can apply ACTA to it.

Would it be possible to use a special type of yukkuris as siege ammunition? Good times would be had.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

IT'S LIKE FLYING IN THE SKY~

Very interesting thought. I'd have to look into this though. Currently I know corpses can't be used as siege ammo.

The only things that can be used as siege ammo is ballistic arrows and rocks for catapults. I'll have to also look to see if this is even possible as well to make a corpse drop occur of this type.

Course there is also a biggest question of all. What kind of yukkuri would even work as siege ammo? Cause so far it's kinda hard to think of any that really would thanks to their "somewhat squishy texture"

So yeah, not to sure on that one, but I will look into it probably after the next two updates I have planned in the to do list.

Lol it can happen to the best of us. XD Though he did make clear yesterday was dedicated to crayon art and new years bashin' so I anticipate the today's update will be the bay12 January report. And hopefully we'll get a closely predicted timeframe of the release. (which I'm 90% certain it'll be this month)

Gah, so many projects side tracking me. I haven't had time yet to discuss things with the MotK group about seeing if anyone from the forum could compose music for this. But in the mean time I will go ahead and discuss about my yukkuri report.

Like I said before I was busy looking for flavors for most of the charters, and as of this point I think I got most of them. So I composed a list of the yukkruis that'll be included for the PC-98 update.


That should cover them all. Other creatures that are non yukkuri I plan to include as megabeast are Yuggenmagen which will mainly be eyes with an "energy core" (I know some say it's might be a human entity in that center but it just doesn't seem like that to me.)

And Evil Eye Sigma which should be fun to put together since it'll be a large eye with wings, tentacles and a steel based body. FUN

So from this list this means I'm making 30 more yukkuri and 2 more extra creatures ATM. wow talk about going to be busy.

I guess that covers the bases. So if there are any questions or thoughts. Feel free to speak about them now. Cause I want to try to wrap this up before Release 1 comes out. Which looks like it could very well happen this month from the looks of it.

Ok I've been doing some thinking on this for a bit and decided to sit down and discuss about this as a possible idea...

I've been looking at some of the other mods (Deon to be percise) and sort of gave this some thought.

I'm want to know from all you Touhou fans out there is if you all think it would be a good idea to actually use different music than what  is commonly used in the game. Sure the music in DF is good, but what if I put in something more Touhou-esque.

I was shown some nice Ehru music remix of Broken which I think might be suitable for the starting screen. But I wanted to get your feedback too it.

Second is an important question. If we agree with this. What route should we go with it. Get remixes and give credit to said artist? Or come up with something more orginal. I already know ZUN says no to the use of him music on most cases (mainly for selling) but other than that well I want to make sure I do the right thing when putting music in the game to avoid any problems.

So any feedback on this would be nice. And remember this is only being considered ATM. So it may or may not happen.

Also feedback reports that U1tramara is going to do my Suika Fortress mod for his next LP. So I'm very excited!

I wont be doing this mod for some time sorry totaku. As my mic decided it would die on me ><

Seems like bad luck struck again. >_< Well I understand , I wasa hoping you get a shot at doing Suika Fortress again since I pushed to get the update out. But I can wait.

And as a good reminder to you all, if any of you fans of the mod or Touhou fans alike want to see Suika Fortress get an LP. Vote for it in Ultramara's thread.

Hmm, Futo-kuri looks like the hat could be a bit bigger.

Bigger in general or heigth. I suppose you might be right,I'll see if I can make Futo's hat stand out some more. But I do have limited space to work with so don't expect maricles.

Anyways I'm going to sit here and discuss my plans for the time being.

Current stage of plans for the next release will center around PC-98 charaters and unique creatures.

Since the voting been going on for a while I got plenty of respond from it and from the poll it appears I'll be working on all the charaters.

Well it might be all of them, but it could end up being more like a cast majority of them at the most possible chance.

My idea will be to work on each charater and each series of the game.

From High Responds to Prayer all the way to Mystic Square.

Most of the charater I'll be doing will be the bosses, very few mini bosses are worth putting in since they don't have any notable charatistics.

But anyways, I will try to cover all of them. This can even include a PC-98 Reimu, Marisa (based on her apperance in game 2,), Yuuka, and Alice.

Most of the charaters that will be in it will be yukkurified of course, That's no exception.

But some non human ones (like Evil Eye Sigma) will appear as Mega beast or the like.

Oh and I do have a fitting place for the Mystic Square crew, that should make things rather...FUN.

Some other creatures I'm considering adding like like the sake worm from the fairy comics and the Tsukichno that Marisa once found in the same said comic, also maybe creature like those Kasen summoned to aid her (minus dragons, I am not putting in a dragon unless gods can take on a physical form and engage in earth shaking events and possibly fight)

So yeah got my hands filled pretty well here. It'll be interesting how this plays out.

I'll have to see how much time I have left too considering Today's entering reworking buildings now, which could mean the new release could be eminate. Still hoping to complete this by December sometime though since that's when I expect the new release to be out.

Finally connection is down at home for the moment and won't be back till after Monday, Course thankfully I have a waty to still connect.

But anyways time to get to work.

ANy thoughts, question and feedback will be appriciated.

Wat is the ETA on the new patch update Totaku? Cause i Think I may wait till u update it before I actually start on making the LP for this mod ^_^.

Since It almost looks guaranteed that this mod will be the next LP I will be doing on my DF mods LPs

^_^_^_^_^ =^.^=

Somewhere between today to as late as Wendsday.

I'm working on the last bit of token placement and adding in one extra thing for the Inabas before doing some final testing and then I will launch the next update.

That's what's in my current plan.

After that will be a at least one or two more updates before Suika Fortress goes into a brief rest until Caravan Arc Release 1 comes out. (assuming they get done before it's release)
