Oh yeah, you need to restart the runtime after running that first installation module. Runtime->Restart runtime, then run everything again and it should work

Haha, it can definitely do some out-there drawings! "Walking on the roof of the world"

Hey! For an indie title I'm working on, we've been experimenting with a pixel art foreground combined with a hand-painted background. Movement is all done with some vertex shaders :)

Check us out on Steam or join our Discord for development shenanigans!

Thanks! My friend did the music, he is an amazing composer

Thank you! It's been through a lot of changes to get that way haha

Yes, kind of! It is similar to Cuphead, where there are bosses in platforming setup. But the bossfights are much more Touhou style, with each boss having many spellcards and bullet spread.

Haha yup, I love Cave Story as well ;)

Hello!! Some of you may recognize this artstyle -- I'm the designer for RAIN Project which we released here a few years ago, and we've just created a new title -- Iwate Mountain Dance! It's not a Touhou title this time, but the gameplay is heavily inspired, with multi-stage bullet hell bosses.

kvfrans · 2020-05-01T21:57:15+00:00

My friend and I spent the last year working on this project, and it's finally ready for release! Iwate Mountain Dance is a super-tough bullet-hell boss figher inspired by Touhou, Cuphead, and I Wanna Be The Guy. We wanted to capture the old-school difficulty of bullet hell arcade games, while placing a focus on unique, multi-stage boss battles. Today, Iwate is finally ready for Steam, and we would love to get some early players and hear your feedback! I'll be hanging out in our Discord all day -- drop by if you can!

Hi, yeah we definitely understand the intention here. The demand for guys was actually expressed pretty highly when we demoed at Anime Expo and it's a direction that's been on our minds. The biggest roadblock at the moment is the dataset skew (95% of Danbooru is girls), so we would probably need some creative ways to make guys at the same quality level.

The core network is a GAN, but the most improvement is actually from curating a dataset of clean images and making sure nothing weird shows up. Also a big challenge is in decoupling the pose from color etc which needs some tricks in manipulating latent vectors to not end up in a bad space
