[2k3] Seeking mappers~
Xenomic
As always, I am seeking anyone who can help with mapping for Touhou Fantasy. Anyone proficient in mapping in RPG Maker 2k3 at least halfway decently would be highly helpful for me. In terms of style of mapping, please refer to these videos:
It doesn't have to be EXACTLY as you see here, but this is the absolute highest in quality that I would expect. As long as the mapping isn't like how it currently is in my game. ^^;;
If you are interested, feel free to PM me or leave a message in this blog post. Note: I cannot pay, so there is no money involved in this. To anyone that is willing to help speed up the process of this game to get it finished, I appreciate the help. Thank you, and I hope to hear from anyone soon. ^^

Requesting help with rebalancing skills!
So yeah....I'm looking for help with rebalancing the skills in my games for my playable characters, mostly due to how there's a big lopsidedness with how skills are in relation to one another. For those curious, the skills in my game go by levels. You start with level 1 skills, and have to use skillbooks (or sometimes complete a sidequest or a main storyline segment) to level up skills. The skills have to be leveled up in order, from level 1 to 2 to 3 (you can't skip from level 1 to level 5 just like that). This is to help with rebalancing the game some more.
Some things that need relooked at in rebalancing are:
1) MP costs in relation to damages, as well as in relation to the characters. This may mean completely redoing the MP costs and/or damage formulas for every skills that a character has.
2) Looking at and fixing some problematic skills (Master Spark for Marisa is one such skill. Other skills may include Meiling's Red Energy Release series of attacks, Sakuya's Soul Scripture, Utsuho's Petit Flare series of attacks, and so on and so forth).
Some skills will be changed as well (for instance, Reimu's Ghost, Exorcist, and Ghost/Exorcist buffs will be changed later).
I will post the document here...
http://xenomic.freehostia.com/Text/Player%20Skills%20Document.txt
If anyone can help, that'd be great! If you require further information, feel free to message me here or in PM. ^^;

Announcement
Update Patch 1.1000
http://www.mediafire.com/?xxv9swvs5lw5s9l
http://www.mediafire.com/?f1ifxwib7phr55z
First link is for the update patch. Second link is for the update music.
That should fix some of the issues. Warning though, there might be some bugs here and there due to well..updated maps and whatnot. Do let me know if there's any issues in various areas. I'll list them here so you don't spoil yourself in the Changelog, since I do believe there's spoilers in there:
MAP:
The following maps have been updated:
*Bamboo Forest of the Lost
*Winter Forest (Both outside and inside, barring Icicle Caves)
*Hakugyokurou - Yojana Gardens
*Insect Forest
*Blazing Fires of Hell (Not including the second half visited in beta4)
*Underschool Caves
*Poltergeist Mansion (Not the basements yet)
*Forest of Magic
*Kourindou (Currently in development)
*Eientei (Currently in development. Only the entrance has been redone)
*Scarlet Devil Mansion (Mostly reskinned. Voile has been changed and basement has been fully changed).
*Higan
The following has been added:
*Alice's House (only outside is accessible right now)
Do not listen to the Changelog saying to refer to the Music document, as I stupidly forgot to upload the right document with it. Instead, this is what you should pay attention to for music changes:
A Flower-Studded Sake Dish on Mt. Ooe -> A Flower-Studded Sake Dish on Mt. Ooe (Nazz-can)
Be of Good Cheer! -> Be of good cheer! (Nazz-can)
The Locked Girl - Patchouli Boss Theme -> Locked Girl ~ The Girls Secret Room (Concealed the Conclusion)

Other things changed was Nitori's battle theme, Border of Life (the theme used for the first Yuyuko boss fight), and Kanako's theme.
Bamboo Forest was not uploaded in this pack, as it is not even close to being done, nor has Kourindou or Eientei. Every other area has been pretty much fixed up (SDM needs more done to it methinks though). There may also be some errors regarding other things, so do let me know on that bit.
I really didn't want to have to upload a new update patch this early without everything being done as originally planned, but since the Yuuka thing is a game-halting bug, I have no choice but to upload this now. Again, if anymore bugs occur, do let me know so that I may fix them.

Game Design
Important Details concerning Touhou Fantasy
Just a little blog for those who don't know the inner workings of some of the things I do. Particularly dungeons in mind.
ENCOUNTERS AND DUNGEONS:
1) Encounter rate for all dungeons are generally 70-80. There is an armor that one can win from an enemy which cuts random encounter rates in half (so in essence, makes the encounter rate 160 instead), there is an item that reduces random encounters to 0 for 30 seconds, and an accessory (can only be used by one character whom you won't have during the part you get the accessory) that acts as the Moogle Charm (reduces all encounters to 0). In addition, there is an item that double encounters (encounter rate becomes 40 I believe instead).
2) Point #1 is why some of the maps are as large as they are. The other point they're so big is due to my terrible mapping skills, and as such I overcompensate for how much I really need. I am not the greatest mapper in the world, and even with my improved mapping right now, I still am not that great. I can only try so much, so please keep this in mind! In addition, I do try to stick to the original designs a bit, whether I shrink the maps down or not. So while a 50x50 or 60x60 map may seem big to ya'll, please do keep in mind that encounter rates are generally not THAT high, which comes to the next couple points.
3) One particular character, Sakuya, has an overworld passive ability which allows the player to walk at one speed higher than they normally do (this is around speed 5 I guess? I have speed set to default for the game). In addition, Sakuya can later learn an ability that allows her to reduce random encounters to 0 for 30 seconds, much like the item, though it costs I believe 20 or 50 MP to do so each casting.
4) Several maps ARE meant to be big in general. For instance, Voile and Pandaemonium (granted, Pandaemonium could be cut down in size but...). Some of the sizes, in the case of Pandaemonium and Scarlet Devil Mansion, was to make up for the fact that at some point the player will have to deal with overworld enemies (enemies moving on the map), and I didn't want the hallways to be too narrow (there's also an anti-grinding tool in Scarlet Devil Mansion. Think Barbatos from the Tales of series here).
With that said, that's generally how my mindset goes with mapping. It does take into account the player's speed and random encounters the most, but again, it's also influenced by well...being claustrophobic about having maps too small, especially when one of the main points is fighting enemies. Money is tight for most of the game (you can get plenty of money yes, but you're going to be spending a LOT of money), the vast majority of this being because of skills.
SKILLS:
The skill system tries to follow Final Fantasy II's level up system to a degree. Skills are generally learned by buying and using a skillbook, in order of level (you cannot use a level 5 skillbook if the skill is at level 1). I am thinking of setting it so that you don't HAVE to use the books and instead it auto-teaches the skills when you get said books, but I'm not sure on how to do that without screwing up my current system. If anyone knows how to do this, I'd appreciate the help on it.
However, not EVERY character can buy their skills, and not every character USES or LEARNS skills from books. Advent Cirno and Keine are two characters who must either win, find, steal, or morph for their skillbooks. Yumemi and Rinnosuke depends on their weapons to use their skills. Hope requires beating specific bosses to learn hers, and for Hope, she has to change mode to use various skills. SO there's some diversity with the skills and how they're used as well. I tried to keep everyone in a specific "class", so to speak (i.e. Sanae is more of a White Mage, Patchouli a Black Mage, Youmu a Samurai, etc.), which wasn't exactly easy. Reimu is generally the "jack-of-all-trades" without having a specific class, but she's not particularly super at anything aside from Holy damage (a couple skills from other characters can outrank some of hers). This was to try to keep everyone balanced, as there's generally 28 playable characters in the game, about 8 of them being optional. This goes into the next section.
CHARACTERS:
One of the things that I noticed people bringing up time and again in various places is why are there so many characters? There are roughly 20 playable characters, 8 optional characters, and roughly 20-24 temporary characters, bringing the cast up to about a whopping 52 characters. Why so many characters? Can't I just cut out some and have the story work out just fine? Not really, because of the way I'm having the story told. I COULD have some things happen off-screen sure, but I have them in the story for more dramatic effect and all that jazz. I do need to spice up some of the story segments so that the player would feel a bit more attached to some of the temporaries, but that'll be for later.
So, do the characters get any development then at all if there's 20 of them (the 8 optional characters don't count as they're there, but technically not part of the party)? Yes and no. Yes as in the story does dive into characters in arcs at points, and characters do develop more personality, but also no as most of the characters already have personalities from the get-go. The game is aimed mostly at the Touhou community, which having knowledge already of the Touhou cast, but I did try to make it so when the player meets a character for the first time, they can get a hint as to how the character is like (i.e. Reimu is kinda mean, Meiling is a sleepy gatekeeper who can't keep Reimu and co. out like ever, etc.). So there's that!
MONSTERS AND BATTLES:
Ah this part...the game does feature a CRAPTON of monsters and bosses (keep in mind, beta5 will be featuring roughly 76 bosses...yikes!), most of which players who's played the Final Fantasy series would be familiar with (and of course, there's some Touhou enemies such as the fairies and kedamas). Monsters generally use whatever though...it just depends WHEN they use some moves over others. There's no real pre-set AI for any of them, even though I believe I know how to make one now. I haven't heard too many complaints about the monsters or battles (save for the opening fight in the intro) or a couple key bosses that are meant to be hard.
Battles are typical FF-style really. Default 2k3 engine and all. Every character comes with Attack, Defend, Row, and Escape. Everyone except Nitori comes with the Item command (Nitori is special due to that she has the Stock command, which uses MP to use the item's effect instead). All characters come with one primary command (Reimu has Divinity, Marisa has Magic, Mokou has Phoenix, etc.), and most characters (aiming for all of them at some point) have a secondary command that suits what "class" I was aiming for with characters, as well as the character's abilities/personalities (i.e. Marisa has Steal, which both suits her personality and further augments that she's meant to be a Thief type character, while Sakuya has the Time Stop command which is a 100% Flee command, suiting her ability to manipulate time and how I wanted her to be a form of Time Mage). There are still some characters without a secondary ability, which I could use some brainstorming with if at all possible. ^^;
FINAL FANTASY AND TOUHOU REFERENCES:
One of the things that was brought up in a DeviantArt review (which wasn't much of a review as the person didn't play the game and only based it off of videos) was if the game was supposed to be an actual mix of Final Fantasy and Touhou. Yes and no. Yes as in it does borrow elements from both series (Touhou is obvious, Final Fantasy has spells, abilities, monsters, and the like borrowed). No as in it doesn't have things like Cloud, Sephiroth, Cid, Biggs and Wedge, Chocobos, or the like as this isn't a fusion of Final Fantasy and Touhou. It's just Touhou with Final Fantasy elements in it. So please, don't think it's meant to be that way if you don't see the more notable Final Fantasy elements (don't worry, Gilgamesh will actually be around, and he's the only main FF character that will be at that).
Yes, the game does reference a crapton of other things outside of the two series though: Harry Potter, Namco X Capcom, Tales of, Valkyrie Profile, Super Mario RPG, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and many more. However, that's all they are are references. They don't play a part of the plot or character development at all.
I hope this blog helps you all understand the game's concept a bit more, and to a bit of my inner workings with the game. ^^

Announcement
Reuploading game~
So, I've finally gotten around to dealing with the music, as mentioned below. The game right now will run about 500 MB instead of 1 GB, with 1 rar for the main game, and 3 rars for the vanilla music. There will still be the extended pack (which right now is only 1 rar for beta1-5 music) and will be extra packs for beta5+ music. Do let me know if this works better for you guys or not.
On Music:
The normal battles I try to keep unique in that every playable character has their own battle theme. That's definitely something I don't want to change.
As for bosses, in the vanilla version the only boss themes there are: G Free ~ Final Dream (for regular bosses), Chaos (for the guardians of Pandora), Gensoumaroku's OUT!!! (for the fragments of Pandora), and the FFMQ Battle remix (for special fights such as Kisume, which are mini-bosses I suppose). Some bosses get to keep their unique boss themes, being: Eirin, Kanako, Tenshi, Saigyou Yuyuko, Mima, Elis, Rikako, Kana, Marisa, Alice , Suika, and PC-98 Yuuka. The reason for them keeping their theme is they're more plot-important, so why not?
As it stands right now, there are ~128 songs now for the vanilla version (beta1-5, or what there is for beta5). Which runs to about 500 MB for music now. Better than 1 GB. I have also put in options for switching between music at save points and at the Human Village, for those that get the extended pack, and bosses have been tuned to go with this as well.

I can post up to beta8 that I have thus far, but one at a time!
So here are the dungeons and enemies/bosses that I have thus far for beta5. For those who want to help with figuring out what enemies should be where, feel free to! If you wish to discuss the enemies and bosses, you may do so, but leave the bosses in spoilers so that others don't get spoiled by them! Note, this isn't final...I'm just having issues putting in enemies at the current time!
Also for those curious, as of right now without adding any new sprites, I have 269 unique enemy/boss sprites...yeah, that's a lot. @_@;

Game Design
Beta5 Dungeon Ideas and a Request
For those curious, here's the gimmicks of beta5's dungeons and where they're at. Note that not everything is set in stone, and if you think that any of these are bad ideas, feel free to chime in and come up with something more suitable:
Hollowed Caverns: Maze-like dungeon, has three floors with the final room being on the sole area on the third floor. Player must navigate around dungeon through tunnels and ascending/descending floors to get there. Plenty of deadends and a couple areas that spit players back at the start. The MAIN area, which is the first visit, has no random encounters, but has its own gimmick with a specific group of encounters for each room, depending on a variable. There is a door puzzle (don't worry, it's not as bad as Eientei) that will either be the 3rd to last room for the main area, or the room that's required to get to the second part of the dungeon, which houses a key item needed to go through another dungeon.
Valley of Corpses: Items is disabled (more like items are completely removed from inventory until the player leaves the dungeon), and there are no items to pick up in said dungeon. Call Shop will also be disabled. Secondary gimmick involves there being status tiles strewn about the dungeon. I'm not THAT mean however, so there will be a couple recovery pots for the player to use. Oh, and for those that so loved the Fairy Maids/Tewis that roamed on the map, there are Malboros that roam around on this map, which are the notorious monsters for the area. The area is meant to use Reisen and Nitori to their fullest (and possibly Hope), mostly for curing statuses and in Nitori's case, her Stock command since that bypasses the No Item gimmick.
Frozen Fields: Puzzles involving using Yuki and Mai to progress through the dungeon. They each have limited charges, and charges can be restored at various points, but anything frozen/melted will be undone if the player leaves the screen.
Pathway to Ruins of Vina: If the player comes here without the key item from Hollowed Cavern, they will instantly die. Yes, it's a thing from FFIII. However, with the key item, the player is given a set time limit before they are constantly taking damage from the miasma. Once they leave the dungeon the completely right way, I haven't decided if the gimmick will stay or not.
Ruins of Vina: "No Magic" I believe is in effect, meaning the party is under perma-Silence status until they leave. There's also some switch puzzles involved and whatnot.
Fallen Shrine: Items must be placed throughout various areas in the dungeon in order to proceed (taken from the Paper Mario series). In addition, I forget if No Physicals is set here or not...
Reimaiden: All gimmicks from beta5 up to this point are found here, and are randomized. In addition, there is one floor where the player has to avoid having 0 yen to avoid an instant game over, and various traps will cause the player to lose yen. There is also a shop where players will be able to specifically sell items to get more money. I originally had planned to make it so that the player can still use things that are forbidden (such as items and such), but by doing so, the character that broke the rule will be subjected to being ejected from the party. This would have been taken from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but I don't know about this one yet...
Pandaemonium: There's really no real gimmick here that I can think of. Just a normal, straightforward dungeon for once. Might model it a bit after Gensoumaroku's version, haven't decided.
Sealed Cave: Either No Physical or No Magic is set here. I forget which.
Silent Shrine: No gimmick here. Just straightforward dungeon.
Myouren Temple: Based completely off of Final Fantasy III's Tower of Owen pretty much.
Palanquin Ship: No gimmicks here really.
Hokkai: No real gimmick here either.
So yeah, there's all of that. I was attempting to make beta5's dungeons utilize other characters more often than not, but we'll see how that works. In addition, I might try to implement a Cover system for Momiji, since I'd really like for her to be more of the Knight character like she's supposed to be...
In addition, I am looking for anyone who is willing to either help brainstorm ideas for the game and/or are good at coming up with concept designs for dungeons. If anyone is interested in helping out, do let me know~
