Just noticed this but yeah, it seems like there's been a lot of drama in regards to this whole thing. Which is a real shame because I was kind of looking forward to it.
Also in other Touhou fighting game related news apparently the roster of 14.5 has been leaked already? Just as a precaution I'm going to spoiler it but basically it seems like
it's the entire HM cast, with new characters being Kasen, Shinmyoumaru, Mokou and this new Hanako character
If it's true, then I'm okay with the new additions. Also
Hanako
toilet ghost girl
Thanks for the reminder.
The Taoist stuff is a little weak (more surrogate-daddy Miko and Byakuren/Miko shipping fics? Eh) but I guess it's better than nothing. Though more Dynamo isn't a bad thing
I tried to understand what was going on and failed miserably. So the IndieGoGo is gonna be taken down, but work will still continue? They won't be attempting to release it on Wii U anymore, only from their own website or something?
I'm sure artists are thrilled with what they can do with the new Limbo character =_=

Anyway, quick update. I finally finished off Reimu/Suika and Marisa/Pachoulli for SA. I can say with confidence that Pachoulli is the hardest shot type to 1-cc with, weak single target damage, awkward bombs, hardest Komeiji Recollection (never did get Mercury Poison down), only positive is good spread damage and all direction shot.
Does anyone have any experience buying stuff from the JP side of Playism? I was thinking of picking up that Touhou ARPG from there.
Touhou Smash apparently got permission from ZUN, so long as they cancel and refund the IndieGoGo and release the game for free/as donationware in a non-public manner. At least that's what I've gathered from the MotK thread,
Saijee hasn't yet given proper text responses to the numerous concerns brought up in the thread, but we'll see how things go.
Also I beat TD Extra the other day. That stage is such a huge grind, much more so than any of the other Extras I've played.

I've tried it. It is painless, just use PayPal.
So Extra is easier in other games? I recently arrived at the penultimate spell card after much pain and suffering. It must have taken me around 200 tries to even have the chance to beat spell 7, 9, 10, 11 each in spell practice. What I am most afraid of is the fact that most other games don't have spell practice.
For me, TD's Extra was significantly more annoying that other games' Extras due to the random bullets often working against me. Other Extra stages tend to be more static.
Touhou Smash: Saijee responded to the MotK thread. The drama appears to be wrapping up and normalcy should hopefully resume. There are still a few things that need resolution, such as the handling of perks, but that's another gray area.
But yeah the devs need a PR guy to handle the overseas relations properly.
Touhou Smash is relegated to donationware? Eesh, that must suck.
Huh, yeah. Even the first mid boss spell card, due to its erratic behavior, is difficult to clear consistently no matter how much easier it has gotten to read the bullets.
Lol, I'm 2/142 for that spellcard. It's part of my trance route.
The second midboss spellcard though. That card has caused many a restart.
The way I do it is I capture the first spell, which is 50/50 to 1/4 depending on whether it is a good day or a bad day, trance the arrow ones, and then capture the third one.
I considered trancing the second spell, but the two fairies that drop life & bomb spirits right before the midboss were too lucrative to collect without trance.
Not to mention I'm now fairly decent at reading those arrow bullets.
I dunno if this interests anyone here but apparently there's gonna be some Japan Vs West IaMP tourney tomorrow for IaMP's 10th anniversary.
Sounds interesting enough. One of the players' gonna be streaming with English commentary here.
Didn't know about this community, so I guess this is my really my first contribution. I picked up a doujin game recently, and I've been having more fun than I truly expected to:
夢幻偽郷 ～ First Disaster (Touhou) - SnowGale
For those that don't know about this game...
There isn't much to say about the platforming segments except that you go from left to right, breakable objects may contain goodies, and are often used to jump off of to reach higher planes. Bumping into an enemy starts a battle with the enemy getting the jump on you, if you knock them with your ranged attack, they will be encased in a ball in which case you can hit them up close from behind to start a battle with you having the upper hand. When an enemy is encased, they are also harmless so you can use this if you wish to avoid confrontation, you may also jump off of them when they're in this temporary state. This all said is with boss battles being the exception usually after a story segment.
I'm just starting the game myself since I've been a bit busy, but it's been pretty entertaining so far~

It's a side-scrolling platformer RPG. During RPG segments, your max party of 4 has a limited number of attacks, and once they're all used up it swaps to the enemy's turn. In the above pic I only had Marisa, Reimu, and Alice in my party(you obviously acquire more as you delve deeper into the story). The top right corner shows how many moves you have per character. Up being Marisa, left Reimu, and down being Alice.

The game is basically a Valkyrie Profile parody, which is pretty apparent in its original April Fool's video. You have no idea how much I want to play it. Curse the language barrier!
There is a second installment called Second Departure that is in development and should be out soon:
A third (and apparently last) one, titled Third Paradox, is in planning stages.

False Hometown? - NicoNico video - This is basically Valkyrie Profile with a Touhou skin, and given that VP is my favourite JRPG of all time this game makes me 9 kinds of wet. Watch the video and ogle at the sprites, they're so fluid and detailed and the combat looks spectacular. This game has Second Departure as a subtitle because it's a sequel to First Disaster (which I have never heard of).
A third (and apparently last) one, titled Third Paradox, is in planning stages.
I remember seeing the right image a while ago so I just assumed it was already released. Good to know I can maybe get it when it comes out. I just ordered this one on a whim when C87 was going on. Got some other stuff too, but nothing else Touhou related with most not exactly Gaf appropriate. I was eyeing that Pokemon styled one too, but decided to just pick one as it was my first time picking up doujin games/manga/etc.
Got a bunch of lewd materials? :3
Can you speak/read Japanese? How are you getting by?
Maybe some...a bit...quite a bit.
I stopped with my JP for a couple months, but I'm restudying it. It would probably be accurate to say that my JP is just barely "good enough" for certain games and doujin, but it's so far away from where I want it to be. Definitely couldn't read a history book for instance.
Yeah, my sentence comprehension could use a loooooot of work, so I figure picking up a doujin game would help with that.
Ah, the Touhou thread. :3
Seeing that the Valkyrie Profile clone finally gets a new/real release, I am extremely happy. But, eh, I also hope for an english patch. I still wait for one for an english translation for the Touhou Maiden games. Ewwww, been waiting years! D:

Here's a summary of the timeline:
In Dec 2014, they announced the project has been renamed Play,Doujin!, released PS Vita themes, and announced a 4th title to be ported to PS4: Gensou no Ronde, a Touhou-themed clone of G.rev's danmaku fighting game Senkou no Ronde / Wartech.
They immediately got a complaint from G.rev (maker of Senkou no Ronde). The trouble was settled by ceasing the PC release of Gensou no Ronde while going on with the PS4 port, and by G.rev granting them a license for Senkou no Ronde.
They also did two big interviews about the Play,Doujin! project. I'm still working on summarizing the interviews, but the most important ideas are:
1) they will attempt to acquire licenses for other properties, so they can publish fan games for other IPs;
2) overseas releases are their goal.
The interviews also indicate they revealed the project super-early, and their progress is moving slowly.
The last known status of the four titles are:
Mysterious Gensokyo (PS Vita), a roguelike by Aquastyle: aiming for 2015 release
Genius of Sappheiros (PS Vita), an RPG by Ichigo-bouzu: unknown
Sky Arena: target platform undetermined
Gensou no Ronde (PS4): the furthest along, due to the similarity of PS4 to PC
You can use controllers with touhou games on PC. The other day I used two PS3 controllers to play PoFV with a friend, which was a lot of fun.Ah okay, thanks. I'm hoping that these ports do well, because then there might be a chance that mainline Touhou games make it to Vita and PS4! I think I'd be much better at them with a controller
Controllers are not a problem. ZUN always plays his own games using PlayStation-series controllers.
Porting the official games to consoles is unlikely in foreseeable future, since among other things, the guiding philosophy of the project is for the developers to do the porting by themselves, but ZUN simply don't have any time for that. He prefers to spend his time making new Touhou games, writing the official manga, and taking care of his family.

Is it easier with controllers? I always use keyboard.
I would not be able to do half the techniques I employ without a controller (or other stick input device), at least not without hurting my hands.
I'm a keyboard player as well, but I use AutoHotkey to remap the controls. Movement to ESDF, Shot/Focus/Bomb to JKL. Every other video game uses your left hand for movement, why not Touhou?
After playing PoFV with my friend, I used the keyboard to beat PoFV Extra for both Komachi and Shiki. That was fun.
I think it depends on what each person is used to in the context of gaming since Touhou requires such performance that the most important aspect is being comfortable with the controller. But the high level runs I've seen are mostly keyboard I think.
I'm way better with a pad than with a keyboard, but after a while with the arcade stick I think it's my best performing control method.

Well, it's from ANGELTYPE, who pretty much popularized Inu-Sakuya.
That darn Remilia spreading lies about panda.
Remi is always honest, she just changes her mind very quickly.
ScrewAttack released a video in their One Minute Melee series featuring Sakuya Izayoi vs Dio Brando. That was fun.
Talking about Panda!Meiling I have to reccomend Bears from Red Shine, it's obscenely cute and nonsensical.
...thinking about it in the last few months I've spent far more time reading doujin works than playing the game themselves, I still have to make a clean 1cc of PCB on hard ;_;
But Monster Hunter is just so good...

upandaway we should totally hunt together when you'll start playing online!
Apparently Kanako's final spell card is harder on Easy than on Normal because of how slow the bullets move.
Sure! can't promise when that'll be though.
Wow, that changes my perspective a bit. I thought it makes more sense to start small and build on it, but this actually seems a better way to do it (although you have to work a bit harder to do it from hardest to easiest, I feel)
Too late. Enjoy your stay~
