Hello everyone! According to my resources, it's been a year and 10 days since I've ever mentioned about this little project of mine. I really do apologize for giving everyone the silent treatment. I've came across a lot of road-blocks that eventually caused to be to put the project down. However, for some reason this year, I had the urge to work on it again. 

There are major changes that were made into this game that you'll absolutely enjoy. It's currently in the Alpha Phase right now, but it's the perfect chance to see if this is the kind of game that the people want.

This build now contains:

• 3 Playable Characters (Raven Lilac, Mirrah Mirrip Maplestar, Hanabi Inoue)
• Early Game Soundtrack,
• Practice Mode for the First Stage
• A Boss Fight (Devi)
• and MORE!

This game was definitely different from what it was a year ago. For the first stage, you are able to player the 4 given difficulties: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Genuine. Balancing the game are in the works, but it's just so fun to play.

As of the posting of this devlog, I'll post on my Youtube on what the game is, the character in it, and how to actually play the game. It's a danmaku for sure, but it's different from you average danmaku. That part will be explained once the youtube video's post, which will either be today, or 3-4 days from now. We'll have to say.

I will mention the mechanics. You can come up with your own interpretation on what it means, and how it impacts the playing experience.

• Priority System
• Passive vs Active Dodging
• Annoyance and  the Patience Meter
• Spell Libraries

And I believe that should be all of the unknown terminology that's present in this game alone. Because of this, the play style of this particular danmaku is very different, but I want to see what you guys think.

I'd say wait for the Youtube video to be posted to get a quick rundown of the game before trying it on your own. If you're excited to even have an update for this game, I say play the game, and see how it is. 

I will however note the Known Issues present in this game currently:

• Changing screen modes makes the screen blur (solution to this is don't try to change the screen mode).
• Score is different each time you play first stage.
• Keymapping works, but shows "None" in the options.
• Every return to the Title Screen makes the selection menu a bit slower.

I'm currently under fixing those known issues, and I prove you an even better build in the future.

If you either enjoy the game, or find this game promising, let me know in the comments. Believe it or not, out of all the games I have on this platform, this game had the most downloads. So this game alone has been my top priority ever since last year. And now, I'm glad that I can finally deliver.

I'm planning to upload weekly devlogs on the game, and how it's going. Be sure to keep a look out. And if you want, consider following me on my Twitter -> https://twitter.com/HontouMiijii

I also plan on opening a Patreon in the near future. I'll post about that on either Youtube, Twitter, or Itch.io. Consider being a Patreon. Perks includes:

• Trying out my game before me actually posting a Update on Itch
• A free Steam Key for when this game goes up on Steam,
• Early access to the soundtrack,
• Illustrations of the characters already introduced
• And ultimately, seeing the development process of the game as a whole. 

If that sounds interesting, then definitely consider being a Patreon.

I also promise improved art work in future builds. I'm still working up on my art skills.

With all that out of the way, I hope you enjoy this new and improve build of the Far Land of Magic: Mother's Cursed Spell.  #FakeTouhou
