DAY 1020) Touhou Tougenkyuu: Riverbed Soul Saver - Yin-Yang-Shi Serpent
Composer: Wanwan
(0:00 - 0:16) 3 bars of 6/4 1 bar of 5/4, 4 bars of 6/4, [hold]
(0:16 - 0:42) 16 bars of 5/4
(0:42 - 1:12) [3 bars of 6/4 1 bar of 5/4, 4 bars of 6/4]x2
(1:12 - 1:26) 8 bars of 5/4
(1:26 - 1:41) 8 bars of 6/4
(1:41 - 2:07) 16 bars of 5/4
(2:07 - 3:35) 67 bars of 4/4
(3:35 - 3:48) 8 bars of 5/4
[loop from :29]
At first I thought this would be one where I’d just be able to say “yeah it’s in 5/4 at these parts” but then I noticed that sneaky single bar 5/4 in a few of those 6/4 sections. VERY sneaky. Other than that though this is pretty straightforward, very “mission impossible rhythm” 3+3+2+2 for most of the 5/4 stuff.

Riverbed Soul Saver playthrough! With pointless commentary!
I decided to do another full playthrough even though it's a hassle and stuff. But I'm not making it a habit. It took longer than I thought to complete. I had to redo the playthrough because the frame rate made it unusable as a video. ><
Riverbed Soul Saver is not really optimized. It doesn't like to run nicely. It's hard on your processor. It's not human. It doesn't feel pain. It can't re reasoned with!
I have the effect cut on 3. If you put it on 4 it removed the background. But then you are just playing against a black screen. That's no fun. Or very pretty. o.o
I'm actually surprised it runs as well as it does for me. There's some lag. But it's playable. I actually don't have a ton of problems with this or the other two games in the series (The Last Comer, Mystical Power Plant). I can't say the same for Marine Benefit.
This is a Touhou fan game. But it's really good and a lot of fun. I'm using Futo B. That's my favorite shot type. You get Tojiko to help you out. When you hold the button down she'll stay there and fire while you move around. She fires a narrow shot of arrows straight forward. But you can position her in a handy spot and it's helpful.
I wanted better quality. But I didn't want gigantic file sizes.

Well this is a bit of a surprise!
Without much word ido has released a new game called トライフォーカサー ～ Outside the Traditional World. , that being a StB/DS styled game featuring characters from a majority of releases ido as made such as The Last Comer, Mystical Power Plant, Riverbed Soul Saver and Book of Star Mythology.
Not much to say other than there are over 100 spell cards featured, three playable characters in Aya Shameimaru, Hatate Himekaidou and a secret third character (ain’t much of one though especially since she’s unlocked at 4-9) and as of course tracks composed by Wanwan.
You can download the game from the link above which offers links to download it from Axfc or Fast Uploader.
Real nifty that this is now an actual thing. Perhaps we might start to see more collections like this in the future?
On an unrelated topic also it appears there was also a popularity vote for all the characters that have appeared in the ido games and the top 5 characters were
Fuma Mishandra
Tenmu Suitokuin
Nezu Akitsu
Yamatoyo no Momohime
Tobiko Takatou
Interesting this happened cause I got not even a word about it.

Because I decided to reread Miko and Futo’s scenario in Riverbed Soul Saver for reasons...
I don’t know why, but I honestly think it’s fucking hilarious that Miko is the one to order Futo to burn something.
I love the implication that Futo only is so well versed in fire magic is to keep Miko warm. (Like, wow, Futo, that’s rlly Gay(TM))
Ah, yes, acting ‘in unison’ indeed.
Futo, you’re a dweeb and I love you.
Ah, there’s the Miko from the fighting games...
I can’t help but wonder if the dialogue was written by different people because their dynamic varies wildly from Miko treating Futo like shit(TM) to quarreling like an old married couple.
Oh hey, back to bringing down Futo again.
IDK why but this bit from the extra scenario is ridiculously funny. It’s also worth noting this game was developed long before WBaWC, so it’s kinda, fitting she doesn’t use something like ‘onwards my steed’.
I can’t help but think this is a bit of a backhand complement. Though it is funny given [this] is my first thought when reading this.
And it’s back to insulting Futo... I think.

Games in 2019, Part 3: Hollow Song of Birds
Finished sometime between February and June
Even though my ancient laptop cannot run this game at all, I love everything about this (fan) game. (I love it so much, I even did some fan art of Ranran, Chii and General Set).
Hollow Song of Birds is a fangame (more specifically a danmakufu script) that you might recognize as being from the creators of titles like Mystical Power Plant and Riverbed Soul Saver. Though I cannot run this game on my laptop, and I typically don’t like OC’s in my fangames, this game is great.
The original characters are all pretty damn cool in their own right, Wanwan’s soundtrack is amazing, the writing is hilarious and the gameplay ain’t half bad either. While more experienced players seem to think the game is busted, I think casuals can still enjoy it with all the QoL features and different shot types.
Please play it, and if you can’t, at least look up the game’s script and listen to the game’s soundtrack. The venom in some of these exchanges (like Seiran and Reimu) is amazing to watch. And that kickass soundtrack is so good that I honestly think it gives WBaWC a run for it’s money (even if WBaWC has some higher highs and *just* edges it out)

What do you think of fangames like The Last Coner, Mystical Power Plant, or Riverbed Soul Saver?
I’ve heard of these games, but for whatever reason I’m not interested in fanmade vertical shooters. I guess if I had to put it in words, I don’t really want to see people just copying ZUN. I’ve heard mixed reviews of them from people I know (mixed in the sense of “flawed by enjoyable”), but I’ve never had any interest in trying them out myself.
I’m more interested in fangames that take things in a completely new direction. Also RPGs.

My First Impressions of Sapphire Panlogism
I noticed Sapphire Panlogism (a Danmakufu script) just released and I gave it a whirl. Here are my gut/first impressions (Image from the itch.io page)
In General:
Yay, I get to play as Shou!
As a ZUN art connoisseur, they really nailed that ZUN imitation artstyle. They’re as if ZUN drew the characters himself.
The background are gorgeous, especially in Stages 4 and up
The music sounds NOTHING like Touhou but in a good way
The player shot types feel off. I thought it was the damage, but I tried Marisa and she MELTS bosses. So it might be a case of underwhelming SFX + shot density
Visibility is a big problem on certain stages. Shou might be the worst example of this; at full power, it’s very hard to focus on enemy bullets since Shou has four gigantic pillars of light on-screen at all times.
I’m not hot on the resource system in general, my main issue being that I’m unable to pick up resources with the POC autocollect. It’s also hard to pick up on just from playing the game.
Stage Specific Thoughts
Stage 1:
Oh hey, I have to dodge rain. You know, for all the “Touhou/shmup players can dodge rain” jokes, this happens less than you’d think in Touhou
I normally don’t care for Touhou’s fairies, but I can dig the Fairy OC and her “why is this fairy is weirdly well-spoken” gimmick
Stage 2:
I’m not too hot on the bosses gimmick (they use clouds to obscure their bullet spawns) but their exchanges are funny
Stage 3:
There’s a section I really dislike. Can’t remember when it occurs, but enemies will start spawning blue amulet bullets while also dropping point items, and the coloring is way too similar.
Oh god why does the stage 3 boss have curving bullets
Stage 4:
I feel bad for that poor, poor stage 4 mid-boss...
Already mentioned but I love the Stage 4 background
In Touhou tradition, the game starts to ramp up here. This is the first boss to have these complex attacks with multiple parts. And while it’s not as hard or as complex as the Stage 5 or 6 bosses, it’s very easy to die while still trying to learn these patterns
Stage 5:
The gothy bosses are cool
The bosses gimmick is awful though.
Okay, actually: the gimmick actually isn’t that bad with practice. But it took me a lot of trial and error to figure out how the boss attacks
Oh shit, I think the boss has a Len’En reference!
Stage 6:
The background for this stage is real purty
Shou has a great exchange with this boss
So you’re telling me that the stakes of this fight are that “Gensokyo is about to be flooded in water”? Are we talking about Sapphire Panlogism or Riverbed Soul Saver? (No but seriously. I just finished playing RSS. Talk about weird timing)
I can only speak for Normal difficult, but it’s quite a tough script. The bullet count is high even on the earlier stages. Bosses have complicated patterns with bullets coming from every trajectory. Stage 5 will destroy you if you don’t practice it, and if you somehow manage to survive that, Stage 6 will finish the job. I brought up RSS before; this game is nothing like that in terms of difficulty. If you decide to download the script, then prepare for a challenge.
I don’t know if I’ll get around to clearing with everyone, but I’m compelled to at least try a Normal clear

DAY 922) Touhou Tougenkyuu: Riverbed Soul Saver - Source of the Starry River, Dragon of the Grass-Mowing Sword
Composer: Wanwan
The first 22 seconds of this is 7/4 (as well as :53 - 1:13 / 2:09 - 2:28 / 3:02 - 3:22 / 4:18 - end)
This track to this fanmade Touhou game does a spectacular job at imitating ZUN’s style. From instrumentation to melodic style, and of course even down to the way ZUN uses odd time when he uses it (long fast x/4 timesig that repeats for long periods uninterrupted)
Some funny (not too well translated) notes from the composer, including talking about the odd time here:
“It's a theme song for a drunkard, so the beginning has a strange, unstable tempo.
Following that, some kind of drunk-sounding, ondo-like phrase.
And then in a total reversal from that, a beautifully-regulated melody section.
I figured I would compose this one while drinking, fittingly enough, but that didn't work out.
I hear a lot about people composing songs while drinking,
but in my case I just go into rest mode and can't focus.“

I broke the game and sent Marisa into an endless limbo. >>

Riverbed Soul Saver - Empty level glitch (stage 2)
This just randomly happened. XD
No idea why. Maybe it was random or had something to do with what I did. But the level goes on forever this way. There's no escape. I had to reset.
