Posting this because I was advised to. Part of the conversation revolves around Touhosu!, but the rest of it is in regards to New Game Mode ideas in general. Cropped most unnecessary text.
02:18 <Quaraezha> : HEY GUYS
02:18 <Quaraezha> : DO YOU THINK
02:18 <Quaraezha> : osu! WILL EVER HAVE LIKE
02:18 <Quaraezha> : a new game mode?
02:18 <Faust> : dunno
02:18 <Sushi> : absolutely dunno
02:19 <Quaraezha> : I expect it to be something like DJMax or O2Jam, stuff like that
02:19 <Quaraezha> : with the falling notes and whatnot
02:19 <Quaraezha> : but that's just me, I think?
02:19 <Sushi> : I dreamt yesterday night about something like a shooter with music and difficulty generated enemies
02:19 <Azure_Kite> : DJpippi, anyone?
02:19 <Azure_Kite> : Like Bang Bang whatsitcalled, Sushi?
02:19 <Sushi> : dunno
02:20 <Azure_Kite> : viewtopic.php?f=17&t=58876 THIS ONE
02:20 <Azure_Kite> : wrong name
02:20 <Azure_Kite> : Music gun gun
02:20 <Sushi> : position of enemies would be osu map generated
02:20 <Quaraezha> : oh hey, last post 4 months ago :V
02:20 <Azure_Kite> : > Make Beatmap with SB'd enemies
02:20 <Azure_Kite> : > Set Skin to Transparent PNGs
02:20 <Azure_Kite> : . . . PROFIT?
02:20 <Sushi> : I was thinking like a vertical shmup
02:20 <Quaraezha> : poot. YES.
02:21 <Azure_Kite> : Touhousu?
02:21 <Quaraezha> : we already kinda have touhosu!
02:21 <Quaraezha> : we basically play some spinner-only map in CtB
02:21 <Azure_Kite> : As an idea, yes.
02:22 <Quaraezha> : and DODGE the fruits
02:22 <Azure_Kite> : LOL
02:22 <Sushi> : Ctb avoiding mod doesn't count :/
02:22 <Quaraezha> : BULLET HELL
02:22 <Quaraezha> : but yeah, that's like, just for fun and whatnot
02:22 <Quaraezha> : lowest score wins
02:22 <Quaraezha> : I think I jockeytiyan saying
02:22 <Azure_Kite> : I think Sushi would like different bullet patterns depending on the position/order of notes on the screen
02:22 <Quaraezha> : he was dodging the Red Glowing Fruits in CtB
02:22 <Quaraezha> : kinda like in Touhou
02:23 <Sushi> : Patterns generated from hitsounds
02:23 <Azure_Kite> : What would a spinner be though? A bullet "Core" in the centre of the screen, spraying bullets outward?
02:23 <Quaraezha> : well
02:23 <Sushi> : heh, that's an idea
02:23 <Quaraezha> : we could always have
02:23 <Quaraezha> : no spinner
02:23 <Azure_Kite> : But for variety's sake
02:23 <Azure_Kite> : Sliders TOTALLY have to be lasers.
02:24 <Quaraezha> : lmfao
02:24 <Agnes> : Laser sliders. Yes.
02:24 <Azure_Kite> : I was thinking Notes would not for a single bullet, but rather a cluster of bullets
02:24 <mm201|up> : write this stuff down so Echo will have it
02:24 <Azure_Kite> : the cluster size/speed changes depending on the difficulty
02:24 <Quaraezha> : ohoho
02:25 <Quaraezha> : but really, I expect something like DJMax as the new game mode, if EVER.
02:25 <mm201|up> : I planned to make that eventually
02:25 <Azure_Kite> : That would be awesome.
02:25 <mm201|up> : conversion is really complicated
02:25 <Quaraezha> : from hit circles to notes?
02:25 <Azure_Kite> : I think Luigi said something that would work quite well
02:26 <mm201|up> : choosing which button corresponds to which. I wrote a whole description of what I planned
02:26 <Azure_Kite> : We have CTB, which uses simply the X axis to correspond to the location of fruit
02:26 <Azure_Kite> : Why not do the same with the new mode, just with the Y axis?
02:26 <mm201|up> : basically what I planned, but more
02:26 <Azure_Kite> : Ah
02:27 <Quaraezha> : but if it were to happen
02:27 <Quaraezha> : how many buttons?
02:27 <Quaraezha> : 6? (ASD JKL)
02:27 <mm201|up> : I was going to do 5 but peppy wants 10
02:27 <Quaraezha> : 10?!
02:27 <Azure_Kite> : 10 is Hardcore.
02:27 <Quaraezha> : I can't even play with 8
02:27 <Sushi> : Ten buttons ?
02:27 <Azure_Kite> : There is NO way you can do that unless you are HEAVILY experienced.
02:27 <Azure_Kite> : DJMax Trilogy attests to that, even with 8K.
02:27 <Quaraezha> : I don't think I can ever use my pinkie in my keyboard
02:27 <Quaraezha> : EVER.
02:27 <Sushi> : Oh man, can't you make 9? so I can play with my pop'n pad
02:28 <Quaraezha> : four fingers each + space bar (thumb)
02:28 <Quaraezha> : but still, I'm in favor of 6 or 7 :O
02:28 <mm201|up> : hmm we'll see
02:28 <Azure_Kite> : I guess this is an idea that's in development, as mm said.
02:28 <Sushi> : already tried taiko on pop'n
02:28 <mm201|up> : maybe base it on difficulty or something
02:28 <Sushi> : and it's lol fun
02:28 <Azure_Kite> : nothing's set in stone
02:29 <Azure_Kite> : Easy > 4K Normal > 6K Hard > 8K Insane > 10K?
02:29 <Azure_Kite> : or maybe even 4,5,6,8. Iunno.
02:29 <mm201|up> : 3, 5, 7, 9 maybe
02:30 <Azure_Kite> : hmm, I could live with that
02:30 <Azure_Kite> : for the "Middle" note, using two keys for that note works surprisingly well. may be something to look into.
02:30 <Quaraezha> : I can live with that
02:30 <Quaraezha> : i was thinking spacebar with Thumb
02:30 <Quaraezha> : like in O2Jam
02:30 <mm201|up> : yeah I can see that working
02:31 <mm201|up> : they'd be keybindings anyway
02:32 <Quaraezha> : oooh~
02:32 <Quaraezha> : inb4 someone holds their keyboards like a guitar
02:32 <Quaraezha> : KEYTAR HERO
02:32 <Azure_Kite> : I wonder how many people could play > 8K, considering some keyboards are derp. Especially since with
02:32 <Azure_Kite> : harder maps there are gonna be three keys or more held down at some point.
02:34 <Azure_Kite> : I would imagine with a new gamemode like that, osu!'s base would increase by a massive amount.
02:34 <Azure_Kite> : Just saying.
