ziki_7 from the Dust_Box_49 circle released 1gb worth of music between their album and their partner in crime oiko (from N-Tone)
I'd write something more but I need a couple of week to recover myself from this megaton.

Thanks for the link! Their stuff is pretty good and relaxing!
While a lot of it is not for me, there is a really awesome trance version of Provincial Makai City Esoteria.
You referring to Pendulum? That happened to be the first track I listened to, and yeah it's quite good. The whole Trance for Treasureship album is good actually.
I still prefer CC*=Style's Provincial Makai City Esoteria arrange, probably because of CC*=Style's focus on lower pitches instead of high pitches.
Yeah, that's the one I am refering to.
As for the other one, I wouldn't know. I think Pendulum is the only remixed version of Makai City that I have listened to. ^_^
My favourite version of Rural Makai Esoteria is the Secret Messenger's one, but admittedly it couldn't be more different from the trance arranges we are talking about if it tried ehe. I love that album though, it's openly inspired by Yuki Kajiura and it shows.
And talking about electronic music that focuses on lower pitches I have to talk about this track by Ruxia, it's so good~ The album is quite good too, but I seriously have to listen more to grey's arranges in particular, I like their arranges far fare more everyone's else ahaha

Secret Messenger's arrange is quite nice.
Is that Ruxia track an arrange of the main menu theme? Interesting. Not quite what I meant by "lower-pitched," but hey.
CC*=Style is hard to find on Youtube, especially after Nitori's channel went down. But this will do.
Playism has a release date: May 7.

The surprising part is that they are also releasing the fan game Takkoman on the same day. I don't think that game had even been announced by Playism Japan!

Oop, better get to finishing the OT then.
I was hoping they'd release more screenshots of it in English, but I guess even if Playism doesn't, I can always take a few and add them in later.
And now I'm wondering if I should mention Takkoman. I might put it in the FAQ, something like "I love the Touhou characters, but I hate vertical shooters. Are there any other sort of games to play?"

Yeah, I'd say it's a good idea to put a section for other kinds of games.

Do note that while Playism's website didn't mention it, their Twitter stated that the main game will be in Japanese, while the OS is in English.
So do make a mention in the OT that one has to download the fanmade English Patch if one wants to play it in English.

That's pretty different from what I was expecting. If that's the case then I'll probably want to give it a separate section for the translation patch.
I suppose that would actually explain why we haven't seen any real screenshots of the game in English.
It would also suggest that one of my biggest hopes, an ingame/config option that lets you reconfigure all of the keys instead of just the controller buttons, will likely not happen. If THAT's the case then I may also want to add autohotkeys to the OT as well.
It's a little disappointing if both are true, to be honest. I think I'll tweet PlayismEN about it to be certain.

Right, and I know this is pretty bad for me to say as a person who hasn't participated in any sort of translation or localization...but the Touhou shooter games aren't exactly crawling with text for the story. This isn't a JRPG. True there's 6 sets of text for every shot type but even then, it seems like something that could have been managed.
I'm sure there were reasons for this though. Remind me, does Playism even have an inhouse localization team? I feel like I remember hearing that La Mulana's localization was from outside help. That would help to explain things (even if it is still very unfortunate).
Their parent company, Active Gaming Media, does translations and localizations. If Wikipedia is to be believed, they even share the same offices, and AGM is often involved in the translation of games published by Playism.
Translating isn't the difficult part, its implementation. From what I hear, encryption is fairly easy to break, but it still has to be done and it requires hacking knowledge. Then there's graphics design if you want to get fancy, selecting a font and making sure it doesn't break anything (text box clipping or even crashing the game).

Very true, especially from a hacking/patch creation standpoint. I was thinking that perhaps Team Alice/ZUN might have been willing to assist them in this venture since the original files would have been with him since it's usually (though not always) the original devs that handle the reinsertation of the localization teams work into the original game to make new language versions. It just seemed logical in my mind that with the official support of ZUN on their side, that it was a doable thing.

Part of me is wondering if maybe this was part of the deal with ZUN to get the game released. If so, I wonder if that would have any influence on future touhou doujin games that get released (since we know that's what they are going for with stuff like Takkoman).
You are kidding me...
Well as long as we're talking fangames... There was another Mystery Gensokyo trailer for anyone interested.
Although I noticed at the end that United Barrage Action was added to the list of Play Doujin games.

I saw that too. I'd never heard of thunderclap.it so I looked into it. The idea is to get X amount of people (500 in this case) to commit to the Thunderclap, and if it hitd the threshold, then at the decided date, all of those people will automatically tweet the predetermined message (something about checking out Touhou 14) at the same time.

A new ULiL demo has been released, and is available right on the official website.
To quote somebody else on the changes :
Also, 15 characters, baby!

This time's batch of translated doujinshi include the entirety of the (usually) hunger-inducing Girls' Speciality anthology, the stylish and refined SDM backstory The Flying Scarlet Devil Mansion, and most notably, A Day in the Life of Hakurei Reimu, the most surreal yet accurate depiction of Gensokyo you'll ever see.

So... this actually happened.

Given the context, it looks like they needed a "technical difficulties" image from the internet and somehow, someway, whether some intern/staffer working on the show is a Touhou fan or not, they stumbled across this.
Random Touhou on ESPN.

Shit, I thought the date was Friday, not Thursday. I'll have the OT up soon. I was waiting for more info to come in from Playism but I'll work with what I've got get up something.

Looks like they didn't even bother translating it. Someone'll have a patch out in days, I bet.
Barrylocke

Yeah, they really did go this route. I still want to have some sort of an OT up though. I claimed it, and it's Touhou's first English region release, translated or not.

Ugh, I'm not even able to download the game now due to some error in the checkout process. The option to add the game to the cart says that it's processing and it won't let me add it, while the cart itself does not have the game. If I can't figure something out I may have to go get customer support to help out. This isn't how I was hoping to enjoy the launch day of this game...

The button finally reset and I was able to purchase the game without issue. Downloading it now.
