This is a custom map I made for Eversion a while ago (a couple days after beating Hecatia of Touhou 15) but never bothered to upload online and to the public, until now. I recommend downloading the map from the link below and playing it before watching the video.

After buying Eversion HD and making the Master of Eversion Remake mod (more on that in a future video) with relative ease on the same day, the 11th of December 2016, I managed to come by a map editor for Eversion. I also found that the map editor also came with a mod for the original freeware Eversion that adds vertical scrolling to the game. All this led me to come up with this map, Vert Thunder.

The idea behind the map is that Zee Tee (the game's protagonist) must cross a river to save the Princess, but in order to do so, he must enter and climb this mysterious castle and use its sky bridge to be on the other side.

As such, the map is less 'open' which isn't the style Eversion goes for with its maps, and I used whatever concepts I thought of. I'm proud of how the result came out. I had to go around some limitations of course, like the way checkpoints work in vertical levels (if you cross the vertical or Y position of the checkpoint and die, you spawn at the checkpoint, skipping the level), the placement of the hands (they get loaded in all eversions but only 'extend' when close to their vertical position in eversions 5 and beyond), and then failsafe mechanisms in the first part (a player could go back to the first part while in eversion 5 without the ability to continue, so I added extra eversion points down there for that purpose), but I am satisfied with the end result and believe to have done my best.

I called the map Vert Thunder out of a lack of creativity when it comes to names. The name was primarily inspired by the Hyperdimension Neptunia character Green Heart's name "Vert" which works as short for "Vertical," and the Thunder part comes from her derogatory nickname "Thundertits."

Kudos to Zaratustra for the game, fastcall22 for the tools used to make this map, r543 for beta testing and feedback, and Hyperdimension Neptunia for helping me with the naming.
