Preview: Automagic Roles in Danmaku!!
🕑 Added 2025-02-19 21:44:59 +0000 UTCHello, quick preview of something Moogs is working on for the digital version of Danmaku!! Big Box. We're very aware that setup in Danmaku!! is a pain point with the game. Determining roles is very process intensive, which is why the manual recommends you play with the most basic roles for your first game. In the digital environment we don't have to accept this limitation.
This board is a device in TTS that spawns a role setup for your digital Danmaku!! game. It detects the number of seated players, or allows you to set the number of players manually. It also names and attaches a Reveal script to each role card. For cards like Partner or Stage Boss this just flips the card. For an Extra Boss, it spawns the revealed version of that role!
This is our first foray into TTS scripting, which was enough to make Moogs irritated at Lua for its similarities to Visual Basic. But it's a really powerful proof of concept and we're excited for what's to come! Thanks to all you patrons who make this possible!

As someone who has done a *ton* of tabletop scripting (tiles that track health & effects, a trpg-specific gold calculator, a map switcher that stores tiles, & more) I 1000% understand that frustration with Lua (& some of the limitations that exist in TTS, though that's improved since I coded stuff... over 5 years ago... my goodness I didn't realize how long ago that was...)
