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.

Ah, that's an easy fix. While the game is running(assuming you have Screen Size set to Unset), double-left click to increase the size of the screen, and double-right click to decrease the size. That's all there is to it.

 

Now if someone could remind me how to fullscreen the window...

Unless it's a false positive, the file has been infected with Win32:Malware-gen. Sorry to say, but until someone confirms this isn't a virus, which so far none have, don't download this.

I followed the instructions from the video and got the game to run but when I select new game its says "Cannot locate previous completion data" and then doesn't give me an option to back out to the menu, forcing me to close the window

I'm really confused

When you first launch Shard of Dreams it will search for a save from the normal game, if it doesn't find it shows this message. You can simply skip the dialogue and the game will start normally

Is anyone else having this problem with installing the game, or is it just me?

Alright. So I completed everything and when I successfully ran Shard of dreams I ran into the issue of the game being deafeningly silent besides the initial cutscene. Is there a fix for this or did I do something wrong?
I played through all the way to the initial bus scene to test out if its only the main menu bugged but it seems everything else doesn't have any sound either.
I followed all of the instructions on the "READ THIS (you)" but there is no sound at all. It has sound for the base game but when I run ynk_1103_tlstrings_wordwrap.exe it just doesn't work.
