Welcome to part 1 of the "New Generation" update! Okay, that sounds really pretentious, so let's just say it's a content addition that welcomes in fresh new coat of paint.
To sum up what this is all about, there's various things occurring at around this time. One of which is the all important
Touhou Puppet Dance Perfomance full release, right around the corner. While I'm sure a lot of you will be busy traveling again with all your favourite puppets in a glorious stand alone adventure with new mechanics and an engine and everything, this update will be here to tide you over should you wish to wait for a more complete english patch, or just wish to take a break. Another thing that's happening is
Doesnt's Unnamed Hack nearing full release, which includes the earth shattering pokedex expansion hack, which allows the game to have more than the standard 400 or so pokemon catchable and usable, which has been a major limiting factor in pokemon hacking for a very long time. Doesnt's hack includes many of the extended puppets normally found only in Shoddy, so be sure to check it out! Yet another thing that's progressing along very well is Derx's
Faith & Prayer Version fan game, made in RPG Maker XP and using his patented Touhoumon DevKit, which can be found in the same thread. It was updated recently, and includes many features you wouldn't find in any ordinary rom hack. It doesn't include the extended puppets, but is definitely worth a look see. Finally, to round out everything, it's the new year! About to be, anyways. Also, christmas was recent too. What a month! What a week. After all that, you feel like it couldn't possibly get any better, right?
WRONG- Added a million new puppets. Actually, just nine. They are all extra shard forms of the Double Dealing Character puppets, with special guest Kokoro. Being shard forms, they take all the moves of their predecessors, and then mix it up a bit. Have fun with these new additions to the meta!
- Attack Miko and Defense Miko have recieved updated sprites, and many newer sprites were changed to reflect the fact that the source games only allow 15 colors + transparency.
- Several puppets with missing or incorrect moves had their movesets fixed.
- Magic Coat and Intimidate have proper messages to announce their success or failure respectively.
- Evasion Clause bans Lax Incense now.
- This is a client and a sprite update. Update your client by redownloading it, and update your sprites by deleting your installed sprite package and redownloading it.
A big special thanks to these people for making this happen:
- HemogurobinA1C for his work on Touhoumon and being the source of all this tomfoolery we commit ourselves to, as well as his work on Touhou Puppet Dance Performance.
- The artists on tohofes that I shameless claimed some of the sprites from without any real regard for what their intention was. I normally dislike using things without at least proper (and correct) credit given, but a cursory glance has shown me that the site gives far too vague of an idea of who's sprites are actually who's. As for the disclaimer, well, that was already violated long before this update...
- Agastya, fgtchmp and Edwurdo for their work on Shoddy, design and spriting, respectively.
- Doesnt and Derx for their continued efforts in keeping the dream alive.
