I know, it's been quite a while since I've last done one of these. There's...reasons for that really. Outside of having those constant BSoDs months ago, motivation loss in working on the game, and doing lots and lots of LPing, I just haven't really worked on the game too much. However, for the past month I've been working solely on dialogue, so as of now, beta5 is 50% complete with dialogue in-game, as well with most of the events that accommodate the dialogue. There's still some events here and there that'll need retweaking, but that'll be for later on AFTER I fully finish the dialogue script for the game, which is my main goal right now, then mapping, then eventing, and finally enemies/monsters and other stuff. So there's still quite a ways to go with the game!

For the full progress report, here's how the game is standing:

Characters: ??% (Unknown right now due to still needing to revamp Koishi's skillsets, and quite possibly revamping Byakuren's moveset entirely as well so that she's actually useful. Other changes my come to Suwako, Sanae, and Keine, depending on how things go)
Mapping: ~50-65% (Earlier maps still need redone (for a full list of those, see the bottom of this report) and all but three of the current beta5 maps are done, excluding maps used in cutscenes. None of beta6's and beta7's maps are made at all).
Eventing: ~50-60% (Some events aren't fully coded in and are not tested at all in beta5. These also include various puzzles in some dungeons. Some earlier dungeons need upgraded eventing done to them as well)
Enemies: ??% (Unknown due to not knowing exactly what will be in what dungeon in terms of regular enemies. This does not include the beta8 content, as it is full of optional enemies/bosses only)


For Characters:

Koishi Komeiji: Needs Blue Magic overhauled and less Blue Magic spells overall. Due to this, her Terrible Souvenir ability will also need readjusted in terms of damage formula.
Byakuren Hijiri: Complete overhaul of her moveset outside of her Holy/Shadow-elemental attacks. Reason being that due to a recent patch that I have yet to use, it is possible to temporarily change elemental resistances, therefore allowing me to relegate it to Nitori's Armor Elemental Bless skillset fully. Not sure what to do with Byakuren's skillset yet though
Suwako Moriya: Additional skills may be given that are dummied out so that Suwako gets more usage.
Sanae Kochiya: Abilities that purely boost stats will probably be modified to do something else.
Keine Kamishirasawa: EX Mode (Hakutaku) will probably be removed if I cannot get the stat modifiers to work properly. What may replace that as her secondary command, I would not know. In addition, the vast majority of her skills may get modified so as to not be based on stats.
Advent Cirno: Needs revised sprites to match the spritestyle of everyone else.
Youki: Needs revised sprites to match the spritestyle of everyone else.



For Mapping:

The current maps that need revamped are as follows:

Human Village: Needs to look more like a Japanese town. Also needs to include the Hieda Mansion somewhere.
Marisa's House: Needs updated to look more like Marisa's house, but in ruins.
Bamboo Forest of the Lost - Hard Path: Not sure what to do with this, but would like to reinstate this part of the dungeon.
Youkai Mountain (All of it): Needs to look better overall. Janky mapping all around.
Ancient City: Needs to look more like a Japanese town.
Chireiden: The idea here is to make it so that it's symmetrical throughout the entire dungeon, and the entire gimmick of the dungeon is to make all rooms symmetrical to one another. Not sure how to do this though...
Blazing Fires of Hell: Needs remapped a bit. Want it to feel more epic than it is...
Eastern Forest: Needs revamped. Not sure if it needs a gimmick or puzzle.
Cave to Makai: Needs remapped, but would still like to keep the map layouts the same. Just better looking maps is all that's needed, and probably smaller rooms in some areas.
Pandaemonium: Needs remapped badly. Too big and doesn't feel like Pandaemonium at all. It doesn't need to look "hellish", but more "crystalline" as it's stated to look in canon.
Hollowed Caverns: Needs remapped to be smaller overall.
Icicle Caves: Needs remapped badly.
Dream World: Mugenkan needs remapped badly. It needs to look more like a ruined mansion instead of...whatever it looks like.
Mayohiga: Needs to look like a deserted Japanese town.

That is everything for now. There is plans for adding in more recent Touhou characters such as the DDC characters as well as Hata no Kokoro and Sumireko Usami, but those won't happen for a very, very long time. If anyone has any ideas for any of these, or is willing to attempt mapping any of the maps, or would even like to beta test/LP what I have thus far, go for it! I would love to get more feedback on the game itself, and get it out there once again since there hasn't been much talk of the game in a couple years just about.
