Who could forget such an iconic touhou character as "The Big Jellyfish"

At least he tried.
How about you? How's that game going?

Making games are hard enough, let alone making it look good

>>21878841
But how could japs can make them so casually? Even a highschooler possibly could make a complete simple platformer.

>>21878833
You don’t need to have a certain level of experience in game development in order to share your opinion about this game not looking good.

Reminds me of those licensed games from the 80s that had random enemies

>>21878887
It's hard to tell between genuine criticism and ignorant insult.
However, the way OP use "western fangame" as term and the need for a thread just to point that out could be a clue.

>>21878802
the big jellyfish shouldn't have fucked clownpiece, that was kinda mean

>>21878802
Most western doujin art is at the ugly which isn't even counting the ones that shoehorn in western politics on top of that.

>>21878802
It's a rather novel idea, combining all types of shmup into a single game.
The 3D could stand to be a bit more polished though. Also jellyfish? Really? I mean we got Eika, sure, but why is a regular flying jellyfish a boss?

The distinctiveness of Japanese art really is quite remarkable. Most "Western anime-style" art is much further from appearing Japanese than even amateur Japanese stuff your can find on Pixiv or what have you. I won't say that I've never been fooled, but even Korean and Chinese "anime-style" art tends to be recognizably non-Japanese. I don't know enough art theory to really say why.

I don't know what my point is.

>>21879312
This is fallacious thinking. You can "always tell the difference" because the ones that do fool your eye simply don't register. In recent years, personally, I've noticed a big uptick in being surprised to learn some artist or another isn't Japanese, and I think it's just down to the fact that a lot of people who first learned drawing from anime and manga (i.e. have it as their primary influence, due to the global expansion of the medium in the last few decades) are now coming of age. There are a lot of Chinese and Korean artists, especially, writing under Japanese pseudonyms basically unnoticed.

The 'Western anime-style' art that you speak of (and I definitely know what you mean, there is some really shitty stuff out there that tries to emulate Japanese style and fails) is likely produced by artists for whom anime/manga was only a secondary influence--their styles are also influenced by American comic books and cartoons and stuff, which makes it stick out.

>>21879360
Huh?

>>21878820
Eika is the most memorable for me, thank you.

>>21879312

Absolutely not true. The absolute bottom looks exactly the same.

>even Korean and Chinese "anime-style" art tends to be recognizably non-Japanese.
This is due to countries having their own styles. Koreans like ridiculously long legs for example, while Chinese have a tendency to draw super girly looking characters and shit from their equivalent of shonen stories where characters wear ridiculous clothing, but different from Japanese style ridiculous. Russia has their own recognizable style too.

Western stuff, usually American stuff usually suffers from being more inspired by anime, especially cheap, low budget anime, instead of manga or other non-animated illustrations. Japanese VNs can look as bad or worse than OEL VN art though. Even old Key, Type-Moon, and 07th had awful, awful art. But this cheap type anime is what westerns try to copy with their style and it either ends up looking like the lower quality frames or shows a total inability to draw.

>>21879360
Depending on the style, manga and comics might not look so different. The real difference is in the coloring.

>>21878833
I don't want to insult ZUN with such mediocre work.

>>21878937
Then show us a good and cute western game then, instead of crying like a little faggot, you sound like you made an ugly game as well.

>>21879940
ZUN would probably be more insulted you're letting other opinions get in the way of hobby work

>>21879972
ZUN doesn't care about other people hobby work he is to bussy raising a family and drinking beer to care about ugly western games.

>>21879982
What is bussy?

>>21879985
bussy and benis :DDDD

>>21879985
Grab a dictionary and search it, or just google it.

>>21879972
>ZUN would probably be more insulted you're letting other opinions get in the way of hobby work
I don't think so, japanese mostly love to hear the truth about their work, your game is ugly and disgusting then stop being a mediocre and work hard to change it.

>>21878820
Giant Catfish was the best 2hu

>>21879944
Well that's your job, anon-kun.
I'll make sure to appreciate your effort as well.

>>21878833
Your game is fucking ugly.

>>21880686
I never make any game but thank you for believing I did. That's make me feel better as lazy NEET.

>>21880686
I've never made any game but thank you for believing that I did. That makes me feel better as lazy NEET.

>>21880663
>your job
No, i'm not the one crying like a faggot, and with this you proof that all western fan games are ugly.

>>21880002
>japanese mostly love to hear the truth about their work
Because Japanese social culture being harsh and strict that the current generation are in fact the most sensitive. That's why depression and suicide rates are high.
Say something bad about them and they might leave internet forever.

I wish I could make a fangame even if it's ugly
I hate being unproductive all my life

>>21880002
You would have to make the game in the first place to improve it, that’s the point. It’s a hobby you’re not supposed to be making good shit at the very beginning anyways

>>21881165
Motivate yourself. You have nothing else to do ? Start now.

>>21880771
smelly NEET

>>21894915
Hey now, not all NEETs are smelly. Especially cute NEETs like Kaguya.

>>21878802
At least Sapphire Panlogism looks promising

>>21878833
Not a full game per-se, but I'm making a boss rush of the HRTP bosses. I'm doing the bullet patterns now and the graphics after, which is why it looks like shit. If you have any criticisms to make just from this screencap, they'd be welcome.

>>21903235
noice

Is there ANY excuse for this?

bruh

>>21903838
I'd move lives and bombs to the upper left corner

>>21879944
The hat in time.

>>21909237
Not a Touhou fangame, the topic of the thread and convo.

I thought [Nitori: Touhou Microgames]

https://youtu.be/4Xtzt8GWdm4

>>21909375

>>21907854

>>21880771
