So I played it. That is some pretty nice shit you got going.

I enjoy the dash; since it's a very early demo I'm curious if you're going to add chain combos and other weapons/inventory.

Curious to learn the story behind the maid and the demons man. For a one stage demo it was nice, those Mushrooms were pretty good enemies. Wasn't expecting them to lock and take 3/4 of my health.

Dash is greatest part of it.

Thanks, I'm happy you got some fun out of it even though it was short.
>I'm curious if you're going to add chain combos and other weapons/inventory.
I would love to make a game where a character has a ton of moves and different weapons you could equip and switch in real-time but this is my first real game so I reduced the scope a lot so I could finish it. I have a lot of ideas for action games I want to make in the future.
You will have one more special attack though, like a flashy super attack, that uses all 3 bars.
There's also another playable character that will have a play style that focuses on dodging and quick attacks.
>Curious to learn the story behind the maid and the demons man.
There's going to be VN styled dialogue scenes, I want to get the story intro done for one of the upcoming demos.
>Wasn't expecting them to lock and take 3/4 of my health.
I want this game to be challenging. Even if there are simple enemies you shouldn't be able to go up to them and button mash until they die without caring for you health. You can dash cancel most attacks which gives you enough options to stay safe.
I did overdo their HP, I forgot to lower it before uploading the demo. I will reduce the damage a bit too.

I have a lot of different enemies planned and 6 bosses, I hope they'll be fun to fight.

I started with downloading daw and synthesizer, and then watching tutorials for both a little. Then I tried to do simple melodies with samples that daw provided me, and they didn't sound very good. Both because samples were boring and because I had zero skill.
Then I decided to make samples myself. Making holds or whatever they're called wasn't hard, though I had no idea how to do any particular sound, so they were random. What gave me trouble though is short samples, like drums. That's where I'm now, doing nothing because I'm too lazy to open the daw and do some samples. Sure there are other ways to get them, but, you know, laziness. The hardest part in learning something.
Having absolute zero knowledge about any musical theory doesn't help too.

In short, don't be lazy.

Learn what a DAW is and what VST are. I could tell you but doing your own research is much better. Then get a DAW and some VSTs and learn how to use your DAW on the most basic level. Dick around with your VSTs and make some melody or something. If you want to know what notes use and when to use them, you'll have to learn some music theory:
https://www.musictheory.net/lessons
And yes, knowing how to read music is really useful to learn music theory although you might not like it. Since most resources are lacking on composition I could teach you the basics since I'm in a good mood.

I never said that they don't exist. It's just there is modal music and then there is tonal music. Most of the time I see an "harmonic minor" piece it's just in a minor key with a temporarily raised seventh. When I think of harmonic minor I think of mMaj7 chords and other kind of modal stuff you don't usually see.
I think that this is just a matter of modality (think of scales) and tonality (think of functional harmony).

I told the anon to ignore them since it's just going to confuse him at this stage.

There's also a ton of piano arranges for touhou songs in this mega folder, midi+pdf+mscz:
https://mega.nz/#F!zFgQhZaY!_cgnZCbnQ9379_CRkJBnTQ

It's best to download the entire folder as a zip.

It's interesting to see how you can make a really simple-to-play arrange of a song, or then a really difficult one (which is usually more truthful to the actual theme). For example, compare Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke 1 and 2.

Only been dabbling with the piano for 2 months now, so this kind of an archive of scores was a godsend.

This is from a book called "Haydn Six Easy Sonatas". Are you fucking kidding me, how is that easy? Why is freaking hard music always labeled as "easy"? I'm already feeling inadequate to making music due to this shit.

What is even more depressing is that almost all the music I'd like to play eventually is even more difficult. How many years am I supposed to play piano before I can graduate from children pieces? 5? 10? Fuck you music.

Practise with steady persistence. With the same kind of steady persistence that water once molded the beachlines and riverways into the earth.

I've been playing for 2 months now and I still can't play a single simple piece of music, but I'm going to keep at it and do a variety of different exercises and small snippets of songs. Eventually I will be able to play something.

Soon... soon I can play the entire chocobo theme. I've been whacking at it for tens of hours. And how simple it seems on paper. About one third left to learn.
>>
>>15247527
just learn how to use a DAW like FL Studio and don't even fuck with instruments, too much suffering
>>
>>15247554
>And how simple it seems on paper
Uh, no? Looks fairly hard to me. Generally, I'm having a lot of difficulties when it comes to mixing staccato and legato with both hands. If you can play that with only three months of experience, that would be pretty good, I guess (or suicidal, depending on who you ask). And by play, I mean not only hitting the correct notes to the correct rythm, as I have been reminded more often lately.
>>
>>15247527
Difficulty is relative to your skill. As you improve hard pieces become easier. Also, if the piece of music you're playing has something you haven't practiced/seen before it will seem harder than it is, for example I struggled a lot with pieces that had some form of accompaniment like the one in >>15247554 but contrapuntal stuff like the one in your picture was a piece of cake to me.
I always tackled pieces that made me struggle but not too much. It took me a week at most to learn most pieces.
If you're really new to playing piano and haven't played anything before, there are 2 pieces I recommend, the prelude of bwv 846 and bwv Anh 114. It's hard to get easier than that without using only one hand.
I've seen a lot of people tackle pieces that are way out of their level and they still become able to play them anyway, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you want to spend months on a single piece.

I intentionally kept it a bit stripped down to line up with all the other ancient era themes: the medieval/reni theme is the midi used by the original version of the Ice Fairy Alliance from Touhou Epic (which the mod uses a lot of assets from, abit with addtional textures to work alongside the expanded unit list for C2C), while the later era version uses the midi directly from Touhou 6, a full rendition of the song.

Here is the mod in question for those interested: it's an add-on to the current version of Caveman 2 Cosmos, the version that is accessable through TortiseSVN.

Hey /jp/,
I have a question regarding design choices.
I struggle with making character designs that are inherent to the character in question, most of my designs resemble each other more than I want them to. Not the faces or bodies (though the latter can be a bit troublesome at times)
but the style of clothing, hairstyles, etc.

How do you guys go about it? Do you just see what looks good or do you strive to shape them after a concept?
>>
>>15278443
not a drawfag but i've helped conceptualize characters for projects before, getting references of clothing that you want the character to have first should help

also think about other characters who are similar to the one you're creating in personality and look at how their designs compliment that
