With all the L's Marisa took in Cheating/Foul Detective Satori, it's nice to see a W for once. Honestly, I really only care about how newer characters/works stack up and rank compared to existing characters/works. Everything else I tend to ignore (especially in the music category), because I...

Got my voting done a bit ago. 1.) Saki (TH19 did a lot to make me like her more. Her genuine concern and care for Enoko is endearing to me.) 2.) Mike (I like what she's based on, and I just like cats.) 3.) Kyouko (Her power is cool and her friendship/band partnership with Mystia is nice.)...

Apparently Rika is the one who made the enemies on Touhou 2's Stage 1, which includes the Bakebake (the tongue ghosts you see everywhere in the PC-98 games). I doubt they are artificial, so I imagine she probably uses some sort of invocation/magic along with traditional engineering. A human...

It ranges heavily. Unity used to have the majority of uses, but Godot has been slowly gaining more traction. There's no mandate for an engine, as I've worked with Unity and Godot programmers. Two of the projects I helped with were made in GameMaker. It comes down to what you're most familiar and...

Hello! I think I've seen you around on the Touhou Dev Discord server. I've participated in these since the Touhou Station Jam back in 2021 (first participated by doing the music for this: https://hakanaiblue.itch.io/exiled-infector). I still enter Jams, but I kinda wish I could be excited for...

I'd want to make a vertical shmup, like mainline Touhou games, but instead of a traditional arcade experience, I'd want to make it a series of score attack challenges, time trials, mini stages, pattern trials, and boss scenes all broken up in a way the scene shooters break up content. I'd...

Was away for a Touhou Fangame Jam, time to catch up on things around here.

I absolutely recommend trying out fangame development, however there may be hurdles. My experience with the Touhou fangame dev community has been somewhat atrocious at times. Though, I guess it'd also depend on what field you'd be working in. I'm mainly a composer, though I can provide game...

Oh hey that was me lol The shop angle is pretty spot on with one of the concepts I had. Mike, being a merchant inherently suggests responsibilities and goals that aren't explicitly shown. Knowing how to take inventory, setting prices, having a personality to make a sale, etc. Her stock must...

Outside of maybe some minor glitches (apparently Yachie can despawn lasers with her charge), it's unlikely that any of the major complaints I've seen around will be addressed.

Recently played through Mystic Square and felt like doing a cover of one of my favorite tracks.

Suika's portrait art doesn't read as her, she's way too blonde. I avoided adding my art complaints onto the list, since I was afraid criticizing ZUN art might get me burned at the stake for how iconic it generally is (also the list started getting long-winded). Sanae looks off, Saki and Orin's...

I like Lily White, she's cute and doesn't come off as a one-note prank monster like some of the other fairies do. I also like the headcanon of her not getting along with Letty, as Winter represents death, and Spring represents life. Her relation to spring might have her getting along with...

I'm very mixed on TH19, leaning more towards negative on it. I like some of the new ideas in the gameplay, but the game design is not that great. Some things I like: The extendable graze barrier mechanic from 18.5 is back. I like how it's used to slow down bullets and freeze spirits. The...

For a game, you simply release on a platform that also has an official Touhou game being sold there. Easiest example is Steam, as there are tons of fangames that have a price tag attached to them. Another one is DLSite, where I buy Touhou games from (I know it's only TH13 onwards, but I've had...

The Touhou print works can be frustrating, especially when it feels like ZUN just gets bored of the character he initially centers the story around, and writes in other characters to eclipse them. She's also tied to Suika, which I don't dislike, but I'd rather see characters stand on their own...

This. Stuff like this is what I've wanted more of in this fandom for the longest time, and it's those rare moments where someone sees the potential in a "nothing" character and runs with it that makes things feel worth sticking around for. It shows that you can expand on a minor character with...

The Original Blade Maid. This is going to be a weird take, but I really don't consider her to be "Proto Sakuya". Ruukoto and Mugetsu share the maid aesthetic, making Yumeko the 3rd maid by this point. I also know this will probably be glossed over because it's from Seihou, but ZUN had...

Oh, I definitely agree there, and I'm mostly speaking generally when it comes to minor characters. I even tried pitching a fangame about Mike, that got shot down because she isn't a character anyone I talked with was "attached to". I just feel like a lot of people get dismissive on anyone that...

To me, Kurumi represents a character that has a lot going for them in terms of possible stories to tell with, over being some significant player in Gensokyo politics.  She's one of two gatekeepers (a first in this series), in which her "gate" is the Lake of Blood that gets drained. Kurumi and...
