Touhou: Azure Kappa

My lord, that's some pretty intense match here. Junky did it once again and made an epic fangame - this time let's face Nitori. I have real yuke vibes. Plus, that music sync sometimes. Man, I love this script. Incredible job, Junky!
----------
Touhou: Azure Kappa is the latest Junky's script and an entry for Bullet Hell Artistry #3: Unexpected Mastermind #2 contest, held in February 2021 on Bullet Hell Engines Discord server. The goal was to turn an early-game boss into a final boss.
And since I am a judge on this one, I can tell you there were many entries this time - a whole 24!
This script was one of my favourites. Two other scripts, also favourites, will be uploaded soon. Not gonna lie, Junky made an incredible work to remake Nitori into a final boss, and add some gimmicks and surprises here and there.

Good work on the 1MNB run on this! I'm really glad you liked this script, hopefully the other judges will too. I'm also really glad I was able to deliver on the assets and ideas I had (and still rather upset at myself for some ideas that went completely over my head until it was way too late). All the accidental music syncs are amazingly accidental. Apparently a lot of people, myself included, never heard this version of the song used, since it was tucked away in Misora's NND account since 2016. I randomly stumbled upon it while trying to find the original or something similar for Junky to use. Also kinda surprised you didn't optimize the bit around 4:36~ onwards. You can just go up and hug Nitori, the laser will never get you, you just need to tap left/right to dodge the bullets from below, but then again I also playtested this quite a bit, so it might just be me (hence the reason for the massive bullet spawning around Nitori right afterwards, to prevent too much optimization or just standing behind Nitori). Not like you really need to since you pretty much destroy the script lmao. Thanks a ton for playing this, well done!

Also fun fact about this specific video of this script: Shijimi Nono apparently praised the danmaku in this script after watching this specific video. This script is officially blessed.

[@prizmastarz742]

Woah....Junky...been awhile hearing that name, and wow their script still never cease to impress and surprises me tbh Edit: hmmmhmmm~ yep, still impressed, nons and spells are nicely done also pretty nice visual effects, kudos to them and everyone helping em making the script

accurate representation of "dodging the rain"

No doubt the patterns in ‘pretty intense’ are some of the best I’ve played

Holy heck the interface reminds me of Marisa's visor from Subterranean Stars, props to the creator!

You didn't wait until version 1.0

[@CreepyNinja]

Unfortunately there won't be one. Right from the horse's mouth (rip the game ending)

[@baoq.b2287]

It's always refreshing to see another Junky script lol. But does anyone know the name of the title song?

[@gcp3600]

薄命なる少女　～ Sentence of Death by Misora. This is the 2016 version of the song which you can find on their Nico Nico Douga account. AFAIK, isn't uploaded anywhere else. There's also two other versions. One used in Mrs.Estación's Special Stage boss and another on the Nitori After Extra which this script takes some inspiration from.

Is 6:45 a reference to Crimzon Clover ?

[@mankeli771]

Yup. The bullet pattern itself replicates the Type I's shot from that game.

[@tomlynmathewsjr7514]

@@mankeli771 I'm disappointed it didn't go into Double Break mode during that spell. Would have been incredible.

[@incandescence5547]

@@tomlynmathewsjr7514 I think it was planned to be updated with the mentioned "funny super hard mode", which would likely have had double break, but that update was unfortunately cancelled.
