Description

This is the expansion to the popular fangame, Touhou Puppet Dance Performance. It plays very similarly to the base game with the main differences being the story plays out in a slightly different order, and puppets featuring Touhou characters from 14.5 and 15 are now included, which the previous game did not have. Additionally, new areas can be found in the expansion, as well as a new puppet type, the Warped type.

In this game's story, the player character finds themself transported to Gensokyo, to learn that a strange incident is occurring; many puppets shaped like familiar Touhou characters are running around Gensokyo, and no one knows where they're coming from. At the same time, people have learned to tame these puppets, and many are using them to battle one another in a form of new sport. Regardless, the player cannot return home until the incident is resolved; they decide to use these puppets to help solve the incident, so that they can return to the outside world (why would you ever do that though).

For those who don't know anything about Touhou Puppet Dance Performance, it's basically Touhou in Pokemon form with a few key differences, those being that the equivalent to what IVs are in Pokemon are visible in TPDP. Instead of being a numerical value between 1 and 31, it's a letter grade between S and E-, S being the best a stat can be and E- being the worst a stat can be. The way moves are learned and EVs are gained is also significantly different; when you hit the requirements for learning a new move, you can learn it through the Edit screen of your puppet where you can learn a skill from the entire list of what's available to the puppet at that level, though they cost PP to learn which is gained through winning battles. You can also use PP to reinforce stats, which is basically EVs except you have objective control over them.

Evolutions are handled in the form of style changes that every puppet has available from level 30 onward. Every puppet gets the option to evolve into any of three forms, two of which range across Power, Speed, Assist, or Defense, depending on the puppet. In Shard of Dreams, a new Extra style is available as the third option for any puppet to evolve into. For example, Chen at level 30 can choose to evolve into either Extra Chen, Speed Chen, or Assist Chen. You can only style change once though; the only way to reverse it is through reincarnation which is only available postgame.

This one actually comes with the correct translation files. One of them was missing, the other was outdated.

 I've been trying to run SoD but keep getting this message that looks different to everyone else's

I have changed my locale and the language pack

Also if you could run me thought the solution like I was an idiot who doesn't know what he's doing like I am) that would be great.

The TPDP Patch 102 just straight up not there, like its not downloaded, there is YNK Translation Patch though, so can anyone send me a download link for TPDP Patch 102 since in the download video you need TPDP Patch 102 or is the download video outdated?

I had the same problem. The issue is caused by your antivirus, disabling it or adding an exception to it will make you able to use the Patch.

Well, I've managed to get SoD up and running, but I'm still having some issues.  I'll open the game with Locale Emulator and it will run fine for a few minutes, then the screen will freeze.  The base game is running just fine, so I can't seem to figure out why SoD is giving me an issue.  I've tried multiple times uninstalling and reinstalling.  :/

Does anybody have a solution for this? i have this same issue, i have tried to uninstall, but nothing seems to work, it happens frequently, i can hear the game sounds and select options in the menu, but the screen is completely frozen.

Help please. When I try to play shard of dreams, it won't work. I did a tutorial, and when I went to delete a FocasLens folder, (Which I do not have,) never showed up. Help?

So who's the one who managed to screw up both of the setup installers? Because even in Japanese locale, they wouldn't work

Hey so i've got a pretty big problem with my game, whenever i start it up the screen is not fully in the window, like bottom half of it is only visible and the top half is above my window, i have no idea how to fix this. Can someone help me?

I'm on mac using wine to play the game.

I've tried locking the window size but it doesn't work. Dragging the window to be bigger doesn't do anything and i've tried uninstalling and installing it countless times. I've also looked everywhere to try and find something but I can't find anything. 

So yeah i'm kinda in a predicament here, i would greatly appreciate if someone could help me.136798330_ScreenShot2021-09-26at14_01_36.thumb.png.f1472c40e7b5520acbdf2f2454f00473.png
