GAMEPLAY AND SYNOPSIS

My LOCAA 4 Contest Entry is a standard Touhou-esque vertical scrolling shooter with two difficulty options.

The main feature of this script is the fact that it is a dual boss battle. Raiko and Nitori do in fact share the same lifebar. There are five nonspells and six spells, featuring both Raiko and Nitori working together to create some interesting danmaku combinations. The script also features a sunset background that is built upon with the bullet styles utilized in the nonspells. The recommended player is my ph3 Kogasa-Utsuho duo.

POSTMORTEM

[November 18, 2015]

My LOCAA 4 Contest entry was my first plural in ph3 and, surprisingly, remains one of my best scripts. It was optimized for one version but had to be re-released twice because Danmakufu was updated to a new version featuring Unicode support. Relatively well balanced, interesting, and quite original, with spins on existing nonspells. However...

The code is... REALLY BAD. People should not attempt to base their systems and code off of this script. Never before have I randomly changed shot sheets in the middle of a script and since this is my first ph3 script, there are probably bugs galore hidden from the naked eye. If you take code from this project, don't blame me if your project breaks for some unknown reason. :p
