I don't care if it's related to the rhythm or not. If peppy adds it, it would be a unique flare to osu! and I can guarantee people would play it. Imagine how many new players would download osu! just because it has a Touhou-esque game in it. If you can translate the game nicely, it would be a big plus to osu! as a game.

You got a valid point. All I am hoping for really is a rhythm-oriented game mode that works kinda like Danmakufu.
Also it would be nice if it got its own editor where you can adjust bullet-type, amount, direction etc. To keep complexity and variation.

An issue would be having Touhosu-specific maps, people would want to make these, but for these to be ranked we need to make a ranking criteria for it.
But nearly all Shmups are ridiculously difficult. So where do we limit the difficulty for Easy for instance? How hard should it be? How easy should it be?
We need to know this, and I think basing the diff-spread after Touhou would be a general bad idea, since the difficulty curve on Touhou is steep.

We also need to know what should be allowed and disallowed. If you're inexperienced and want to create an Insane difficulty by basing it of Touhou Lunatic, you might think that any pattern and bullet density/speed is allowed, but that's not quite true. There are always limitations.

I guess if you can't beat them, join them. I hope my idea still stands, but I'm going to move on to trying to get a rhythm fighting game made for osu! instead. For this idea however, one thing I would want to incorporate are small things that really mix the game and the song together, in the same way osu!'s menu and games like rhythm heaven do very well.

One thing I would like to see with the 'main idea' is a clear indication of BPM in the character. Just a simple movement like moving slightly side to side, have the visible hitbox/grazebox have a pulse effect sort of like the menu animation, just something. Wait... I have an idea with graze, just a small one.

Graze is usually a constant stream of bonus points you get for staying ridiculously close to a danmaku. To help with the rhythm aspect of the game, I just had the idea of making graze only active on the beats of a song, or reward more points for grazing during a beat and less during offbeats, creating more of a 'curve' than a steady stream of points.

If the changing size of danmaku's didn't affect the hitboxes or gameplay, I would suggest that they pulse to the BPM as well. I think they could still have animations if they were done right.

Last thing to note right now, has anyone made a pippi touhou sprite?

I just thought of a suggestion for the scoring system for Danmaku (I'm calling it that from now on, and I don't care what you gays call it.) and a few others below.

For every circle that spawns bullets from its origin in time, it would also spawn a point item that adds to the score when collected. These items will also appear at the end of the slider (not in-between or at the beginning). I'm not sure about how this would work for spinners though - maybe have it spawn at a random location after completion of the spinner?

Also note that these items should despawn after about two seconds (depending on OD?) as a challenge. Maybe more for spinners since they're random.

In the results, the final score should be = (Items Collected / Total Items) * 1,000,000.

And no, grazing bullets do nothing to your score.


Other suggestions:
  1. BPM x Slider Velocity = Actual speed of bullets (but it should have a limit of sort so it doesn't result in an instant massacre)
  2. Player's speed = Like CTB, it should be fixed at a certain point
  3. Approach circles will appear as visible as possible in the background to indicate the spawning of bullets in that particular position
  4. When the song ends (or the last note of the beatmap), the game should only end once there are no remaining bullets on-screen and remaining point items are collected/despawned.

A better idea on how Touhosu! could work is this:

@Starz0r: ...You didn't read the entire topic before you posted that, didn't you?


On-topic and in addition to my previous post, maybe the number of lives would also affect the score aside from just point items.

So right now the formula is = ( (Items Collected / Total Items) * 700,000 ) * ( (Lives Left / Max Lives) * 300,000 )

...or at least something like that.

It seems too easy to get max score without graze bonus.

Although it is very old,
There was such a thing.
There was a game to Danmaku the BMS. *Danmaku(Cartridge? Curtain of fire?)

※not Touhou, this is another game.
There is a place that is similar.

It will be something like this?

I really think that the "Starz0r" example is a good idea :) .

But , well ... i think it should be fun if the player press a key to shoot the enemies in rhythm .
For example, the enemy always throw bullet in all the map according to the beatmap ; and the player do the same but only on a vertical line , but, few time the player must press a key to make a powerfull attack (indicated by something like ... color change)
I hope that you understand what I mean :oops:

( also , i don't read all pages of the topic, so ... tell me if something better is proposed )

Beat hazard is a pretty fun game. A rhythm bullet hell. I'd love to see it working over here, but how would a ranking system work for that?

Perhaps something like graze points in touhou? Another idea could be to subtract points each time the player's been hit.

based on that Touhosu! should be amazingly impossible(difficult)

Well I do expect it to be somewhere close to touhou ranging from beginner to lunatic. Also I expect it to use mods such as hidden or fl to boost the score. :P

People that are supporting the game have the right to vote what happens. It only makes sense, right?

What's your source for that? I can't remember seeing any indication of a dev actually working on this.

Fastforward to 43:30. Peppy mentioned about "the touhou mode" around 43:58.
EDIT: I should really preview before posting orz

He's not working on it at the moment. What he said just tells us that it's only in proof-of-concept stage and it'd be a while until this comes into fruition.

peppy, i suggest you implement this mode as fast as you can, because a new rhythm game threatens to end your reign of popularity

Just...What the hell is this?
I'll be able too, to take all peppy's work and change some graphics....
I bet this game will make a veeeery short life (personal opinion). I even tried it (to say it better "I tried to try it") but i couldn't install it cause my graphic card isn't powerful enough...yeah...nice game....
