On the Subject of Scoring

Posted by Taizen Chisou on Sept. 8, 2011, 4:38 p.m.

I would have posted this this morning, but my librarian shut me down because I was taking screenshots.

Certainly this is Calm Mode.

Ahem!

Anyway, I've went and modified the scoring system.

In short, I am now ZUN!

Your Max Bonus is capable of increasing in one of four ways: …

Catharsis: Release Ruin series undergoing change.

Please excuse my horrible voice. I left it in.

Well, yes. I have 1,000 Blog Views now. Yay.

Well crap.

Of course, this will do you no good if you don't have TH10 :V

Anyway, as for actual progress, I'm going through and tearing up bits and pieces of Stage 1 in Lunacy Star.

You know, just making it a little less impossible.

And more Stage 1-ish.

Stage 4 …

Lunacy Star Stage 4

In unrelated news, I've updated the scoring system.

Grazing now does more than add 10 points!

For every 100 bullets you graze (trust me that's not that hard I can get 2,000 by Stage 3) the value of Bonus Time squares increases by 10.

This means, above all else, that …

How well, would you say, does a designated "Ideas Guy" fly over in a two-to-three-man team?

Are you interested in an extended version of my Ludum Dare project, this time, with quality?

If you played Lunacy Star, then you may not be surprised to know that it will be suffering …

Guess who else randomly Ludumized themselves

If you guessed this jerk, then you're absolutely correct!

However, I'm not entering. Too much to be done, and there's only five hours left.

I made this in three.

Every time it starts up, it shills 15 minutes on an automatic scanning that today, was doing nothing.

Checking Task Manager reveals that this scanning process eats… oh, my!… 260 MB of memory. That wouldn't be too bad on it's own, if not for the …

Another Video of a Game Everyone will Hate

It's the same as my last concrete update, except in sexy video form.

(Embedded Video)

I guess the only thing established here is that players using stat buffs work, and that players using healing spells work.

Oddly, while you cannot select dead party members for single-target healing, they will be …
