If that link does not work anymore, then I don't, sorry.

Thank you for making this fun mod. ^^ Haha, I almost died once, but I cheated death with a potion. Kind of fitting, considering a potion keeps Mokou from dying forever. :D Oh, I see. I was wondering how you are supposed to survive it if you'd already used up your free revives, but that makes sense. I thought Keine would tank the hits with her HP, but that also works. :D No bugs found yet (though I haven't played since the stream), but I'll note you if I find anything. ^^ And thanks! ^^ Good luck on your next project, too. ^^

this stream was fairly impromtu, minus that is got delayed by a good 45 minutes of my trying to get OBS to work. I'll message you ahead of time next time (assuming Discord won't misbehave)

First time I'm hearing that expression. :D My projects are keeping me busy, but I'll try. ^^

a soviet womble is named after soviet womble, and him never fixing his upload schedule

Merry Christmas! And don't worry about it. ^^

Haha, yeah, it's been a while. I've been busy with my mod (and IRL), but now that the non-stream streak has been broken, I should be streaming more regularly again... I hope. xD;

no worries regardless I hope life is good and have a good Christmas if you celebrate. @@KnucklesNCS the mod is Seajia for STS right?

@@Destruction42k-yg4ws Thanks, I hope you have a good Christmas, too. ^^ Oh, Seija, good guess. Not correct, but a good guess nonetheless. There is a lot of fun ideas you could do with Seija, like flipping status buffs and debuffs (like the Yukari boss battle in the Gensokyo mod), or using Block for damage (and damage for Block?), or becoming more powerful at less HP. Gold could be something detrimental, and she would just steal an item from the merchant instead (with more items stealable if certain conditions are met). I'll reveal which character it is once I get close to publicly releasing the mod, which I hope is going to be in March next year. No promises I hold that date, but there's hope. ^^

Thanks, and thank you for making the game! ^^ As someone who has made some mods that took a year each, I think a year for this game is a fair time. xD Even if the control scheme wasn't entirely conscious, by designing the maps around that control scheme, that sounds intended enough for me. :D Ah, spamming is a dev intended strategy, good to know. Now I feel less like I cheated. xD Maybe I should have tried range a bit more, then. Oh well, it worked out in the end. xD Oh, so moving diagonal did make me move faster. I was wondering if I only imagined it. Ah, fair enough, without a controller, testing the control scheme becomes a bit of an issue, yeah. xD; In that regard, I'm glad that every PC comes with a mouse and keyboard (kind of). I've recently started making a game myself, and I'm testing everything with a controller, but once time comes, I have the tools needed to test out keyboard controls. :D The biggest issue between keyboard & mouse and controller controls is trying to have both control schemes feel the same, even though both are designed to handle different use cases. Fair, making an ending can be time consuming. But a simple "Conglaturations, you are a winner! ... or are you!?" would have been nice to round things out. ^^ I think I've said everything during the stream already. ^^ Thanks for leaving the comment and for making this fun game! ^^

​@@KnucklesNCS rushing flag yamawaro cheese is also kinda semi-intended. otherwise i wouldave up their hp a lot more. xP aye PC requires mouse and keyboard to use (unless someone pulls a gamer move and play with a gaming laptop's keyboard and trackpad lmao) ooh, got a dev blog or a place you plan to share development or announcements for the game you're developing? o3o oo aye, i should have edited the final battle's win message haha. (but at this point i think im just leaving it as it is) tanks again huhu ~ 💝

Intended cheese is the best cheese. :D A while ago, when my Bluetooth mouse disconnected from Bluetooth, I needed to plug in my controller and restart the Bluetooth driver via its trackpad (my mouse for whatever reason does not work when only plugged in). It hasn't happened in forever, but you just reminded me of that. xD I hadn't thought about that, honestly, but I probably should get some kind of blog. Maybe I'll use my twitter account ( twitter.com/KnucklesNCS ) for it (assuming Twitter is not completely gone to shit even more than it already has by then), but considering I'm most active on my deviantArt account ( www.deviantart.com/shadowncs ), I'd probably use that for updates once the time comes around. Or both. (Also, this is definitely not a shameless self plug. :D ) Now that I think about it, I think I've seen your name periodically pop up on my dA. xD ... aaand while going to my Twitter to copy the shameless self plug link, I see you already found my Twitter. That makes things easier. xDD Thanks for the follow over there. ^^ All of this said, my game is still nowhere near... anywhere. I'm still testing out mechanics and all that, but who knows, I might post some animated sprites in like a year or two once I finally have some. xD Yeah, probably better not to touch anything while it's still working. Talking from experience. xD No prob. ^^

@@KnucklesNCS hoho, well best of luck on it ~ :D

Huh, I didn't expect that a mod creator would at some point see one of my videos covering their content. So now I've been on both sides of the equation. :D I'm glad you enjoyed the video! ^^ Thank you for making the mod. It is very fun to play. ^^ I've been playing the mod a bit more in my off time, and now that I don't confuse the keywords anymore, it's become quite a bit more streamlined. xD And I've come to realize how powerful History actually is. Maybe even a bit too powerful in high numbers, so now I understand why the numbers are so low. There's pros and cons to making all the main mechanics synergize with each other, so while yes, Keine is a bit linear in her design, it does also mean that you get a functioning deck with any approach, and all sub-themes working in the end. With my mods, I tend to go for the "let's cram several mechanics into one class, with 2 as a main theme and the others as sub themes", which means that some mechanics are just inherently weaker than others (and mechanics only work well together with cards that use two of the mechanics explicitly), which your approach avoids. So it really just comes down to preference. Yeah, that change to Gods Realm sounds good. :) Oh, you had German in High School? Sehr nett! :D Interlanguage puns are great. I'm bad with puns in general, so it took me a bit. xD Oh, I'm definitely looking forward to it! I'm not going to think too hard on who it could be, since I prefer to be surprised. ^^ (That said, if you need any play testers, I'd be glad to help you out. ^^)

Ah, that's a shame. But there's always next time. ^^ ... And the VOD/ comment section. I speak from experience, watching too many streamers that stream in the middle of the night for me. xD;

I have a few other mods planned for now (including the previous mod of the Gap Youkai's creator, the Librarian), but the Gap Youkai is on my radar. I'll definitely play it sooner rather than later. ^^

It just goes to show how difficult it is to become a true Perfect and Elegant Maid. So for now, I will be happy with being a mostly elegant, yet slightly clumsy maid. :D Thanks! ^^ I'll try to steam (at least) once a week again, but no guarantees.

Yeah, I noticed it sitting the workshop. It's made by the same person who has made the Librarian/ Patchouli mod... which I thought I had covered, but apparently not. Add another one to the pile, then. xD; I'll give the Gap Youkai mod a try in due time, but I have so many other mods that have been waiting their turn that I want to try out first. Also, don't worry, my streams won't run away. At worst, I'll have another hiatus. :D I appreciate it though. ^^

That song is great. xD Thanks for sharing!

Ah, that sucks. :( They're KZfaq videos, right? Weird that they don't allow links for their own site.

They do, but i cant post more than just 2. but if you got a discord, i can send them more easily to you. but i hope frank sanazi was hilarious to you

I think I remember seeing that mod a long time ago. From what I remember, gaining money was only on a starting card. Marisa was quite a bit of fun. I should have guessed that, even with picking the Charge deck, I would end up with a Potion build anyway. xD I gave the Charge mechanic another try on my own, intentionally not picking (too many) Potion cards, but I think I'll stick with the Potions from now on. They are too much fun not to choose if possible.

Knowing Skull affected the run a ton, I have to admit. That said, having had full HP at an end of act Knowing Skull to abuse as much as I did is telling on its own. xD Bloody Idol Knowing Skull is disgustingly good! I'm not 100% certain, but I believe all of her lines are from 100% Orange Juice. Thankfully, they didn't import her voice lines as well, because that could at times be an audio mess. xD Oh god, has it been that long already? Time flies...

Don't worry about not chatting (or catching a stream at all). As long as you're having fun, that's the most important part. ^^ Ah, the Rat King. Probably one of my least favorite enemies, and not even because of the poison, but because in Hard mode, it gives you the illusion that you might get away with less than 6 new stacks of poison, except there's almost no way you'll get any less. xD; Though I appreciate that poison (among others) makes you consider exchanging your equipment for certain encounters, or just building a deck that can deal with anything being thrown at it. It's a shame your run had to end like this, though. Oh, interesting thing about the Marisa mod. I just checked it, seems neat. No new content, but being able to see multiple card previews (like for Binary Star) is really nice for new players of the mod. And while I was checking StS mods, I noticed there's a Russian translation mod for the Noh Dancer. Neat! :D Oh god, new Jump King DLC. Hm, Jump King is a fairly simple game, so my laptop should be able to run it. Maybe I'll play it some more if I run out of games to stream. xD Thanks! ^^

@@KnucklesNCS God now I'm even more terrified of the rat king thanks sir. Jumpking is the Perfect AMA/Ask me anything game just to have a chat. Though JK interests me given the mindset it puts the player into of the game being both extremely relaxing and nail bitingly stressful at a jumps notice. sad to hear Marisa isn't getting an ending or anything like that but her mod is more or less perfectly in character and really well balanced starting relic damage multipliers aside. XD Ok Stupid idea Noh Dancer STS stream but EVERYTHING IS RUSSIAN and you have to remember what all the cards and relics do by art alone. If I remember Kokoro has an upgraded version of her starting relic I was thinking in act 2 ware you can get the event to get one of her masks maybe add an option for the event ware you can trade in the original for the better version and just code it to require her starting relic thusly making it exclusive to her. other mod shenanigans aside. I do hope you have a great new year sir.

Thanks! That's funny, considering I was thinking "it must be one of those two" and it turns out it was both instead.

@@KnucklesNCS I was meaning to mention that a rogue lite having a core story doesn't always work against it. Griftlands has an issue largely because the story is quite simple character motivation wise (Haven't seen grift lands in a while and never finished Smiths campaign so I'm not speaking from full experience.) ware as a rogue lite like Hades has a story that slowly unravels across multiple runs with a singular consistent protagonist,ware as each character in grift lands has their own mostly disconnected story beyond some extremely fun events ware the protagonists can interact or even kill each other. that said their discounted. though I feel like most rouge-lites are better off prioritising gameplay over story in my eyes as a game like hades that has both is great but it'd rather play a rogue-lite with great gameplay than story if I had to chose. with games like STS and Dead Cells being good examples. Dead Cells just got it's second free collaboration update including slay the spire. it's also getting a paid castlevania dlc in quarter 1 of next year.

I agree. With Griftlands, it felt to me like the story was the focus of the game, even if there was not all that much to the story in the end, so once I was done with a playthrough, I didn't really feel the need to come back because "I had already experienced what the game had to offer", even though I had many more potential decks to play with. And with Hades, while the devs had a lot of characters and their relationships between each other they wanted to share with the world, the game didn't extend any story scene for longer than necessary. Just half a minute of dialog before a boss, some down time dialog any time you died (which is entirely optional to boot for the most part), and you can get back right into the action. Oh, interesting. I haven't played Dead Cells yet (I bought it a while ago), but this CastleVania DLC does make me want to check it out sooner rather than later.

I've noticed this game on Steam before. I see they've added an English translation. I think I'll go and get it then. Normally, I wait for games to come out of Early Access first (there are too many games that never do), but this is Touhou Slay the Spire, so if there's an exception of my rule, then this may be the best one. xD

I don't really have a schedule, I just stream whenever I feel like it. A long time ago, I tried to have a bit of a schedule (at the same day of the week at a given starting time; it wasn't official though), but I dropped that pretty quickly, since it felt a bit forced and not as fun because of it. The only "schedule" that If have right now is that Wednesdays and Sundays are out of the question because I'm busy on those days. xD

The tier list sounds like a fun idea. Maybe I'll do such a stream shortly before I release the new mod. If I do this, I could separate it into 3 different categories (power level, theme and artwork). Setting all of this up is going to take a bit... actually, I just checked Tiermaker, and it might be a lot easier than expected. (Then again, I don't have separate files for each card as a whole, only for the card art. Eh, this might be enough. You can probably not read any text on those tiny panels anyway). Yeah, I'll give it a thought once the time comes. As for the design philosophy, while I don't have such a thing for each card, I have made a development notebook (of sorts) and posted it on the mod page. It talks about the general design process, so mostly focused on mechanics and scrapped cards. steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2451464697/3202619734240688837/ Patche in the library sounds fitting. I am worried about getting through Ruina with her, since, unless I'm getting a very specific combo, I tend to have a rough time with her in the regular spire already. xD;

@@KnucklesNCS I'm glad you like the idea. When you you make the next mod more organised with fines for each card art. You could always talk about her over all over all design philosophy and how individual cards tie into it.sorry for my my poor wording sir. Was Kokoro made with Gensokeyo in mind? You probably tested her with the regular spire first but she feels like she's well equipped to handle the challenges in that act mod. To me as an outside she feels like a more complexed Watcher with multiple stances changing the effects on cards kinda like the GREMLINS without the character swiping aspect. I do really like patch design wise though I feel she might struggle with Ruina at first but I saw Parafox archangel feet though it with her a year back she even took down the hardest boss of act 3 White Night. So she can do it you might need to believe in the heart of the cards. A bit of Narrative context: those invited to Ruina are put though trials in order to acquire books of their choice. the 'Books' are the assimilated knowledge of those who failed the libraries challenges. Angela is collecting knowledge on how to go from being a machine to human. a process possible in this world. (I'm simplifying all of this that and my Lobotomy Corporation and Ruin lore is Rusty.) All to say that Patchy is not a thief like Marisa by attempting ruins challenges. P.s Library of Ruina is hard as heck. I play alot of video games and Ruina is among one of the most difficult. The actual STS mod is meant to mimic this. God luck with your next Mod. I do have another mod to recommend but I'm kinda nervous about it as the series their from is NSFW but the mod it's self isn't. It's actually at the top of the popular list as I write this,and plays like the Ironclad but EVEN MORE AGGRESSIVE. It's the Black Souls mod the rest of the name is in Japanese but the modern has an English patch for them on their twitter.

You could alway just do a Kokoro development video talking about her design if you see the tear-list format as too restrictive. It's just an idea.

So more of a "which card fits which niche". I made Kokoro without any direct influences by the Gensokyo mod, though I did have a few runs through the Act mod, just to see if could make it through. Since the base game characters can make it through Gensokyo without any problems, if the mod cannot make it through, that probably means it's too weak (and Kokoro was too weak for a long time xD; ) Kokoro did become a bit more powerful after the initial release (though also a but weaker if you don't follow any archetypes, I think), but yeah, I have the bad feeling she is going to have a hard time in Ruina. It's till worth giving it a shot at some point. A more aggressive Ironclad? That sounds interesting. I'll take a look at it.

Nope. A friend of mine showed me Monster Train in the past, but it didn't really interest me too much to be honest. The new rogue like game I want to give a try is Dicey Dungeons. I'll add the Avocado to my (overly long) list of StS mods to play on stream. xD Though I'll probably prioritize Touhou mods for now.

@@KnucklesNCS thank you very much for replying. I quite like Dicy dungeons. I don't know it too well. I hope you enjoy the game and the plethora of STS Touhou mods. P.s I didn't catch the beginning of the Stream. good to see I was right about NOB FORM!
