Merry Christmas edition.

Wiki if you don't know what Comiket is.

Edelweiss Preview Homepage
Shmup / STG game list
Separate video & game homepage list

Preview Video:
Full list (1h15m)

VOXQUARTER looks weird but Hacker Beat (27:30) looks cool. Finally some otoge. Go to hell, Touhou! Why are people still making Touhou games in 2014, anyway.

Some stuff:
ダンジョンズ&ダークネス (37:45) is this King's Field? That mimic... this is also an android game IIRC.
伊 (41:40)
艦がんなーVR -艦隊出撃編- (1:03:00)

Good job Ponpo.

Always like looking through Edelweiss' preview videos. Will do so now to see if there is anything that looks interesting.

I expect Playism will be there again this time scouting for games to bring over, as they always do.

Mostly looking forward to any good STG's.

Edit: Ahaha that Touhou racing game.

Hacker's Beat seems to be Audiosurf designed in mind for touch typists...hope y'all don't get carpel tunnel! Voxquarter could also be interesting, a sound/rhythm-based "RPG" (can't figure out if the player's exploring dungeons represented by a Fez-like world map). Cavy House's got some kind of lab-setting horticulture and economy management game, which looks and sounds nice as well. STG at 42:15's going to have its fans here because of the revisionist pixel-art visuals. NonetConcertoDistortion# might be worth trying for musuo/arena wave combat fans (like the music at least).

Really excited for Dungeons & Darkness, which Playism ought to bring over. It's a first-person dungeon crawler styled kind of like King's Field (and Ultima Underworld II by proxy). Polygonal engine's in good shape, though assets can be low-poly or textured with smudges. Assuming it has good options for graphics/audio customization, a localization for digital download might work out (this depends also on whether or not it will appeal to a doujin or CRPG audience). Ghost4 92 will be interesting at the least, though I remember seeing a game like it from C86.

Encouragingly, most of the content is not based on Touhou. I wonder if the Phoenix Wright parody's based on a drama though.

Nothing really looked great this time around.
"Dungeons and Darkness", Voxquarter and Kan-Gunner VR seemed interesting and Progress 2nd had a good video but couldn't tell what it was, seemed maybe like a VN but didn't have the ADV tag.

The biggest news for me from all this is that some doujin developers are using Unity now. I wonder what the Japanese documentation is like for that.

Dungeons & Darkness and the return showing of that one flashy as hell sword duel game were the standouts---but definitely some growing momentum on display on the entire range and lot of it.

Didnt 8-4 help translate the documentation? Maybe im totally wrong.

The kings field like game looked very atmospheric, I wish I could get these games on Steam and follow their progress.. shame it seems worlds away.

Dungeons & Darkness is nice and all, but Nonet Concerto Distortion is gorgeous. I also liked RedOut, the racing game, SkyLens, Hacker's Beat, Voxquarter, Magical X Spiral, that samurai game with the thick line art, and Ghost 942.

You're damn right we will be! And 2015 should be a VERY interesting year for us! :)

I am personally interested in this one and have talked with the developer a couple of times. I am pretty sure the majority of the assets are actually just pulled from the Unity asset store, though I may be misremembering!

I think the link to the STGs goes to the Comiket 86. I found the link to 87, but I still wish they would have picture or something for me to distinguish what the hell each one is.

Thank you for posting that link, I recognized some games that already got or are getting a version in the west. The games that caught my attention were

Zangeki Warp
Black Maria Overdrive
Hekatoncheir
Yohjo Simulatot (Japanese take on Goat Simulator lol)
Blue Revolver
Torquel - Already released on Steam

Where's the new thread? I thought of creating one when I saw the video, but I figured that was ponpo's thing. Someone else should make one, though, because seeing those games is fascinating. I wish Japanese indie developers had a better outlet to share their games at instead of conventions like Comiket and such.

Also, it put a smile on my face to see that the devs behind "Cherry Tree High Comedy Club" seem to be making another game, seemingly "Cherry Tree High Fight Club."

Edit: There, made one.
