    Contest was fine when it was just a steam game, but now i feel like there's too much money involved, especially with the option to get the money on paypal. Maybe  reduce first places  to put some second and third places prizes as well?

    Also, what's the 5b next to my run

    The prizes were actually decided by the guy who's putting up the money, and he's cool with it.  He also thought that Steam game would be around $50, so it's changed less than it seems.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "5b", maybe I'm not seeing what you mean, or do you mean the bomb icon?

     

    As for the replays, clearly I stand corrected.

     

  2. 1.  It's a possibility, but at our low participation at this point, I'll just be happy that they submitted something.  If there is someone who holds off until the last minute intentionally so that the competition can't give it another go, then, yes, that's a jerk move.  Unfortunately, from this side of the screen there's no way I could tell if they actually did that, or if they had legitimate reasons for submitting late.

     

    2. A legitimate spot where we can't do much.  We can see the date of a youtube video or stream, but I don't think we can with the replay file.  That said, if some has been saving replays before the contest, then I'm guessing they do so regurally, which means they can, and probably will, make another run on the basis that they can make as good, or better, a run as their previous.

     

    3. A good concern, and I think I can give a more definitive answer to this one.  We can double check with them on Discord.  We have asked that people use the same name to either here or Discord on the replay, so we can get in touch on both ends.

    The whole thing is a good idea, but going for Touhou 15 was a bit much. Also, I thought of many problems as best as I could on TH15.

    List of problems or questions that might affect the player:

    1. Hard mode (Especially using on Legacy Mode) might be a bit much for the players.
    2. We don't know what mode we should use. Point Device or Legacy Mode?
    3. If we play on Hard and manage to lose all our lives, do we still have to post our replays (Best run even if it's outdated)?
    4. Livestreams can also be proof for the player. Right? (In case of players forgot to save their replays)
    5. If the player's name was different on Discord, should they change their nickname in order to qualify?
    6. What if they don't have the game itself? Would you provide them the game?
    7. Junko is OP! I don't want players to get triggered at this game. Especially on the Hard Diff.

    Mostly what Ceje said, but I'll add a couple things.

     

    LoLK was the one game on the list that I haven't played, so after talking about it with someone who has, I think we'll stick to Legacy Mode.  I'll add this to the OP as well.


    Regarding your stream question, I think it would be more fair if we only accepted runs made for the contest, but that doesn't mean you can't stream it.  Just make sure you record it/save the replay to share here.  Just having the stream happen and some else say they saw it can lead to a finicky mess that I'm sure none of us want to risk.

    We briefly considered having a vote on the difficulty as well, but the mods talked about it and due to 1) Lunatic being somewhat alienating, and 2) Normal making it so that the few Lunatic level players would have it too easy, that Hard was the best difficulty for this sort of contest.

  4. Greetings Shrine Denizens! We're making changes to expand the scope of our Touhou Official Games Contest to encourage more entries. Please check the following post for more information on rewards. On another note, if you wish to participate, don't keep us in the dark until you're ready to submit! We now require a minimum amount of applicants before we may give rewards. Apply early, and practice well, SAVE THOSE REPLAYS (and remember to use your name here or on Discord!), and submit your best.. Good luck, and Have fun!


    Our rules of submission have been changed! We now have rewards for each difficulty. In light of this, we will have the contest split into four tiers (Easy, Normal, Hard, Lunatic), and we are allowing for applying for more than one, however, you may only win one difficulty's rewards. This DOES include Easy mode, so don't feel intimidated, just do your best!
    We're going to be sticking with Legacy mode with the game. (yes this has been edited/changed a couple of times, since I haven't played this game and am relying on others to know the difference between modes)

    Winners will be chosen based on bomb and life count. With total high score from all stages being the tiebreaker. So basically, lives > bombs > score.

    The rewards for each tier are listed as follows:

    All rewards will be delivered via Steam credit, Humble Bundle games OR PayPal of the indicated value.

    Easy - $5

    Normal - $15

    Hard - $25

    Lunatic - $50

    Those that have already submitted, you have the option to stay within the hard tier OR submit another within the other tiers.

    With these recent changes, we have also extended the contest to March 30th.

  5. I should probably give my own story.  Which starts with this video:

    It was my first year of college, and the internet (and especially countdown videos) led me to learning of all sorts of games that I had never heard of before.  I've always had a preference for video game soundtracks, and this was one that I found and came back to a couple of times.  Once, I noticed a similarly drawn Flandre over to the side, realized it was probably more from the same series and listened to it.  Then there was a ton of different versions of U.N. Owen in the recommended videos, making me more curious about the actual series these pieces came from.

    Now, I was 18/19 around this time and didn't really understand much about the game industry, and once I found some gameplay on Youtube, I actually thought it was just a browser game(s) that had a rediculously large/active fanbase.  I went looking for it, and eventually found Ace's site before Moriya shrine.  I was hesitant to actually download the games, but eventually my curiosity got the better of me, and I started with EoSD, SWR, and Koumajou Densetsu, and Senguko Gensokyo soon after.  I loved each soundtrack (of course), but SWR and Sengoku Gensokyo gave me a love for the characters.  I spent a year or so as an anonymouse lurker, but eventually joined the very first forum.

    And I'm still around, funny how it all worked out.
