Touhou Reshined Project Information Announcement! (Fanmade Reboot)

[Ramon]

OH HELLO THERE! 

Well, this is'nt the first time which i showing my new Touhou project in the community since i drawn the Orange redesign and the first post before everthing starts. And this project will call... Touhou Reshined Project, or you can call it a Unorthodox Project!

Of course this will be a very unorthodox work due the project changes a lot of things when it comes about character design. And yes, we gonna have more male characters, enhanced characters designs, a inspirated Castlevania-Anime style (more next to Bloodstained actually), and of course, the PC-98 ones will return to the game. This is why i made a Tier List to organize how the characters will change (or not). You can think freely if the choices are good or not after seeing it, or even leave some recommendations on what i can improve...

 

 

So yeah, this is the result of the redesign choices during the project with different topics. Only by seeing this you can see how i trying to make something very different, mainly in the Gender Swap part. By seeing how strange these changes can look like to everyone, this is why YOUR help will be important to the project be more satisfiying to our community in general. In the another words, if your favorite character is here, dont need to worry! You can suggest a cooler idea to make your character in following your recommendation.

But anyway... Touhou Reshined Project will not have only that!

It also will have the Print Work Stories and even Side Stories with a few new plot without changing the games and print works story. These Side Stories will happen i very ways, like to make a simplier plot or even telling about important events that dont have a big apparition the in games and some character origins. The good news it already have some confirmed Side Stories to be planned on:

- Orange's Ressurgence - This story will tell what happen about Orange story after TH04 events into the Windows Era. It will tell how he return even more stronger! Is garanteed which will have even more stories based in the PC-98 characters, like the next one.

- Demoniac Revenge - Shiki and the Makai demons strikes back in dominate Gensokyo after being defeated in TH05. Literally a new incident which looks like a sequel to Touhou 5.

- Genso-Lunatic War - An more ilustrated story about the Lunatic War, the the Moon against Yukari.

- Origins Arcs - Most of the characters gonna have a origin stories, like Byakuren, Reisen, Sanae, etc.

 

So yeah... these informations is only the beginning for the Touhou Reshined Project one...

I really dont know in what i can start first, like what character i gonna draw and neither what can be made next. Maybe being Pacthouli ou Saki, or even another idea recommenated by everyone, like adding some Side Story, a fix or even a drawing request. Hopelly i will expect to do something nice to everyone in creating Touhou Reshined even if the project needs to get improved in lot of things...

That's certainly a daunting task you've given yourself. Please don't overwork yourself, as you have already piqued my interest and it would be a shame if you suffered from self-induced burnout.

While I assume you already have a general plan for the project's side stories, I would advise to follow the Youkai food chain (strength level) up from Orange, who would be near the bottom, and eventually learn all the intricacies of the Reshined Project as you go up the chain and meet people more acquainted with the predicament of... Shining Gensokyo. This would allow us to compare and contrast the differences and similarities of the Touhou Project with the Reshined Project.

Also maybe, if you've been doing this for a while, maybe be open to suggestions on completely (or not so completely) original characters, though that is just hope that's speaking through me because god knows I can't share nor continue my own writing for more than two sessions, sigh.

I'd also quite enjoy a take on the moving of Hell and thus the creation of Former Hell, which could function as a bundle of origin stories, an incident of the past, or the history behind a new incident, or all three together. There is quite a lot of story to be fished from there, to be honest. Though this entire tangent is something you shouldn't think about until the 11th Project Reshined Shrine Maiden and have a decent grasp of your own worldbuilding. Work on some of the things you already have in your head while you wait for suggestions, to then use those suggestions to deepen yourself in your own world.

The daemonic war you outlined would be more so written as a bloody refugee crisis rather than an actual revenge war, if it is set between touhou 5 & 6, a while later, like Touhou 14 abouts, I could see a revenge war working like a revenge war instead of a mix of refugee crisis and revenge war.

I'll save the rest of my recommendations for later, when asked and I have more time to write these bloody massive essays.

Good luck and have fun!

Yep... I know how this gonna be a good work to do. This i why i will not rush in too hard. I was thinking in making the characters first and later on focus in major parts, like an cool design for Patchouli, Saki, Elly, and another characters first. I loved so much your Idea in create a Side Story for Fomer Hell, and even adding original characters will be a good touch too (and already i have can have some interresing ideas). But about the Demoniac Revenge Side Story, actually will not be a sequel for Touhou 5, and yes something that happens very later. Thank god i will not do something bloody based and i gonna choose a more realistic accurate vibe (this is why using a Castlevania and Bloodstained art style as inspiration dont means gore garanted). 

Indeed... I loved so much this suggestion and i very grateful for the help...! 

May the Gensokyo Gods bless you too!
