The Requi-sh*t Taizen Blog

Here, have a few JRPG parody comics that I made a while back.

I'm really looking forward to buying a new tablet so I can actually like digitally produce comics and dump them all on Atodev.

Well, maybe I won't HAVE to buy one. My 18th birthday IS on this Wednesday. /shrug

I may or may not be working on a new album.

On the subject of SoundCloud, 85% of the Re: Lunacy Star soundtrack is up on it: https://soundcloud.com/taizenchisou/sets/re-lunacy-star

On the subject of Re: Lunacy Star, the main game is now completely completed from stages 1 through 6, thanks to the help from some rather persistent playtester friends of mine.

I get to assemble the bonus level, and the Easier than Easy beginner's guide to bullet hell.

On the technical side, I've got saving game replays in (Working out the kinks hehe) and am about to implement the feature that will allow you to repeatedly practice any one specific boss attack ad nauseum.

Something that's eaten a lot of my free time in the past month or so has been a project not of my own, Terminys.

From character design:

To the actual implementation of things:

I made a terrain generator recently:

http://puu.sh/5hB87

http://puu.sh/5hB7k

Probably not going to use it for much.

I feel really bad about not having Lunacy Star ready for the Completition. I'll be releasing a set of reviews for all of the games starting on 22 November, which every subsequent game being reviewed every other day until 2 December.

As well as that, if any of the rest of you have things that I should go over, I'd love to receive links to them in the coming week(s).

This is all of the shit that I have to dump on y'alls for now. Laters.

Pat yourself on the back if you managed to slog through this entire blog right here: vvv

looking forward to it You're gonna love the special section I have set up for contributors.

The results from your terrain generator look like something that would go well with a Zelda style game.

I fucking love your comics.

Regarding Terminys, I really just need to pull things together and make a coherent gameplay flow out of it. I think that, thanks to you, the engine is pretty far along.

Also, happy birthday.

I can answer that for Taizen: No it's not. Ten points if you can guess how he did it :O

Nah, it's not Perlin noise, I'm sorry.

Thanks y'alls.

Aw, thanks.

I'll have to draw some more comic things at some point. Eventually.

well it is obviously a height map. some kind of fractal or cellular automaton?

Great comics :P

You'd better do more.

My guess is a map with random values added to make peaks and,uh, inverse peaks? then smoothed out.
