>>22188574
Cute

>>22188574
Official platformer?
What is happening?

wack

lookin good

>>22188582

I guess Tasofro finally got the balls to ask ZUN if they could make one of their non-fighter games an official game he said sure.

ZUN played too much Mario that he decided to make a sidescroller.

>>22188604
That could be true, though looks like ZUN is still the one who came up with the story, based on the plot overview.
Still, personally I don't like the sound of it though ZUN did say Tasofro should have more liberty.

>>22188637
What does the overview says?

>>22188574

Revealing Kogasa straight up front kinda uh ruins the surprise of her being in a new game.

sure, why not

You could bet this happen because Touhou has been on Steam which is full of popular side-scroller, and also by the success of Luna Nights.
Personally I don't know how to feel that Touhou has stepped into a genre it never touched in 20+ years of its entire run. It's really weird.
I need to see how ZUN write the story and dialogue in genre he never handled before.

>>22188693
Gensokyo's water is polluted by unknown black substance.

>>22188702
I hope she's in the new fighter too.

>>22188574
I can feel those artists' engines revvin up for sudden burst increase of Kogasa's drawings..

>>22188710
Would there even be new fighter?

>>22188702
Well the game is about water so...
This means Murasa, Nitori, Wakasagihime and other water based characters may have a chance too.

>>22188721
Yes, and the guys at Tasofro have already said that they want to make it more competitive, something that could be played at EVO for example.

>>22188725
Is that a good thing? Most of the time when a dev caters their game for e-sports people kinda hate that

>>22188729
Who knows? I hate the floaty fighters so anything would be better than that.

>>22188725
What if they decided every official spin-offs will be sidescroller from now on?

>>22188571
>>22188574
Looks nice.

>>22188707
Sounds like it's about oil. Does it mean more Clownpiece?

>>22188729

Given this is Tasofro, any attempts to be seriously competitive will fall flat on its face so its kinda a moot point.

>>22188729
If it means a less dumbed down gameplay I am down for it.

>https://twitter.com/korindo/status/1180098744303276033
>The announcement was made juuust in time lol. It's Touhou 17.5. The game's turned out retro and stoic. The story's the same as always though.

>>22188737
must be a moriya shrine conspiracy

>>22188729
No one should complain if it has better gameplay, especially in terms of balance.
The problem with catering to e-sport could be something else, like constant shilling.

>>22188737
What does Clownpiece have anything to do with oil?

It's of note that the '剛欲' from the title shares its name with the 剛欲同盟 whose leader was the only one of the 3 animal spirit mafia leaders to not show up in WBaWC.

>>22188737

Entirely possible the black substance isn't oil and is like some metaphysical concept that doesn't make sense to be in water.

>>22188776
Aww yiss, big if true

It's called Touhou Gouri-ibun - Submerged Sinking Hell, I think.

>>22188783
But it is mentioned to be smelly, stinky and inedible.
Is ZUN really going to bait us this hard?

>>22188799

I would hope not, but I also would not be surprised.

>>22188707
I think it's more likely Tasofro wanted to make another platformer since it's been forever since the Marisa Land games and they wanted to make another

とうほうごうよくいぶん　～ すいぼつしたちんしゅうじごく

>>22188795
Don't use Google Translate for kanji, seriously.

>>22188571
>Water
So no Raiko or Iku?

>>22188799
>But it is mentioned to be smelly, stinky and inedible.
Expired NEET semen?

>>22188776
>>22188776
Wait, wbawc was released in mid-April and ZUN usually gives himself at least 2 months for break.
How is there possible to be a sequel of wbawc already?

>>22188854

Because Tasofro is working on it.

Isn't the next convention also earlier than normal?

Are we finally getting the water themed Touhou game that everyone makes fangames about? And it's a platformer?
What a time to be alive.
>>22188776
I hope they're involved somehow, WBaWC feels like there's a bit of unfinished business.

>>22188854
It is October already, anon. Time flies.

>>22188862
>water themed Touhou game that everyone makes fangames about
?

>>22188868
I know theres a few other games with that theme or at least fake albums but this one comes to mind first.

>>22188776
Taotie time
I hope she looks like Meeko

>>22188859
Surely ZUN would be involved in production of the title he claim to be official? He can probably just toss some idea for a story, but at the very least we would get a newhu final boss and a theme. I will be mad if not.

>>22188927
I'm sure he have written the plot, all the dialogue, final boss design and theme.
Like anon said, April was long ago.

>>22188927
Fuck, pardon my brain. I just realized he hasn't actually stated that ZUN isn't involved.

So is it actually a platformer or another fighting game? Can't quite tell either by the genre or the pictures, but if it's a platformer I'm hyper as shit.

>>22188927
yeah I hope he at least composes the final boss and credits theme. It's been a thing since IaMP, has it not? ZUN's songs in Tasofro games never fail to amaze me. I want to listen more from U2, too.

>>22188956
I'm sure he composed all the original songs in the fighting games, like Demystify Feast, all main menu themes, etc. The others only remixing songs.

>>22188927
That should take less time than actually developing the game

>>22188571
Well i bet nobody was expecting that, got me excited.

garbage graphics wow its ithis 1990

>>22188980
This is a Japanese game, the hell were you expecting?

>>22188990
not this anon but yeah it looks like every other fangame 2d platformer
am i supposed to get excited for it because it have official game status?

>>22188990
I wouldn't disregard his point. Compared to what they made in 2004 it looks rather, dare I say, secondary.

>>22189026
Touhou main games are all look the same even after 20 years.
Why would anyone complain if its spin-off looks outdated? Graphic improvement is never Touhou thing.

Side Scroller? fuck yeah, I hope you can juggle combo and shit.

I'm conflicted.
On one hand, side-scroller is a favorite genre of mine. So throwing Touhou into the mix got me excited.
On the other hand, won't this mean the playable character is reduced to just Reimu? Or maybe her and Marisa? That really makes it less exciting.

On the other, other hand, I've been playing iX lately and would really love to see image cut-in like this for spellcards, even if the chances are effectively none.

Sure, it's not quite Luna nights level (overall quality) or GNF (character models) but it looks pretty enough. I'm pretty excited for an official game to try something different, and Tasofro have a decent track record with platformers

>>22189026
From an unbiased perspective, all the official Touhou games are mediocre. There are definitively better shmups and fighters out there and the actual only appeal is the brand name.

At least ZUN is exploring different genres instead of having Tasofro reuse the same game engine for the nth time.

>>22188776
So Taotetsu, who is the leader of the EAGLE faction, will play a part in the game where something like OIL is present in Gensokyo's water supply?

>>22188702
Maybe the real surprise is she would be playable?
Surprise!

>>22189160
Touhou shmups have their own niche, particularly the early windows games. There is no other shmup that has scoring like them.

>>22189089
>>22189160
im bitter that touhou never evolved past indieshit despite ZUN having resources to do
like for him making new touhou game is like doing a homework that he has to do once in 3 years every touhou game past UFO is like creating new custom map in map editor

>>22189143

>>22189235
sorry touhou isn't the triple a franchise you'd hope it'd be

>>22189235
Better him doing things at his own pace instead of being forced to make more content just to keep the bases happy, I would say.

>>22189235
I'm personally happy that despite its popularity ZUN hasn't sold out. If he did it would be like Type Moon ditching VNs to make gacha-shit.

>>22189235
Dude just want to make good music and pretty pattern. Cut him some slack.

>>22188854
>wbawc was released in mid-April
I think you meant early August, the trial itself was in May. Also yeah it's October already, so that's two months rest period.

But how will ZUN put Okina in the game?

>>22189330

Obligatory door maze level.

Is the demo already out ?

>>22189330
Good question

>>22189341
IN TWO DAYS!

>>22189262
>>22189264
>>22189266
>>22189267
you know what game i like ?
good ones ?
im not clinging to 2hu like some fucking maniac but if fans can make good sidescroller like luna lights and stg like ikusaaaaaaaan! and ZUN has all time in the world to make good game but he didnt just makes him lazy

>>22189362
just go back to /v/ holy shit

>GOUYOUKU
GOUYOUKU ALLIANCE
HOLY SHIT TOUTETSU CONFIRMED

>>22189391
a bloo bloo

>>22189362
I like Touhou the way it is and I rather not turning it into something else. It's just preference but it's hold by enough people to keep it alive as it is. That being said, the spin-offs already has variety including this one.
If I like it I stay, If I don't then I leave, but I won't force him to do what he doesn't want or outside his leisure like typical entitled consumerist. He's just a single-man doujin creator.

>>22189362
I'm not sure what's the point of your first two questions, even if it's rhetoric.
>im not clinging to 2hu like some fucking maniac
No, but you are a fucking idiot. ZUN is still a one-man show, and that hasn't and most likely won't ever change. He's not in it to make good games, just do whatever he likes whenever he feels like it.

>>22189402
That image...
That can't be

>>22189424
>>22189417
if he would care about touhou then main games would be good
PCB and IN are legit good games for a 2004 shmup standards while wbawc and and hsifs are not in 2019

>>22188702
That's because the real surprise is Sekibanki!

about fucking time
hope it'll be something cute like new super marisa land

havent touched touhou since the chuuni's own game

>>22189533
dumb secondary

>>22189471
You forgot all other shmups aren't made by one man who just love frilly girls.

>>22189471
There are more things to care about a game aside from the gameplay, you know.

>>22189555
took 1 year to play all past th15
then i dropped it cuz am no otaku shit

you scum keep eating some waifu crap lmao

>>22189471
>2019 standards
what standards
there's practically no genre more stagnant and unchanged for the last 20 years

The last game was so forgettable I only remember the chicken character from it.

>>22189362
>>>/v/

>>22189629
you mean th16, right ?

>>22189577
hey bro i think you typed in the wrong url. twitter.com seems like where you intended to post

>>22189362
>luna nights
Here’s comes /v/‘s favorite. Ladybug is a professional studio and they actually reused some gimmicks from their previous works.
>ZUN has all time in the world
How? ZUN has other works other than game developing to do just like fans.
>>22189471
>hsifs
>2019
Wat?

I think you should just go play cannonball. It’s a gacha so it’s probably modern enough for you.

>>22188799
>Is ZUN really going to bait us this hard?
He included Alice in PCB especifically to bait people into thinking there'd be more returning PC-98 characters. Also DDC's whole deal with "western" youkai that didn't show its face past the stages in the demo.

So yeah, he would. However, considering >>22189164, it's definitely oil.

>>22189558
i dont care about them right now
>>22189572
i was talking about all aspects of the game
>>22189614
sure but there is no self improving on ZUN part like more stages more characters to play gimmick that isnt copypasted from last game and so on

>>22189629
You clearly have a special affinity with chickens.

>>22189652
>He included Alice in PCB especifically to bait people into thinking there'd be more returning PC-98 characters.
And then included Yuuka in PoFV, so it kind of... wasn't bait?

>>22189636
>>22189629

>>22189652
There were absolutely 0 western youkai in DDC. Wakasagihime is a ningyou, not a mermaid. Sekibanki is a rokurokubi, not a dullahan. And Kagerou is a Japanese wolf youkai, not a actual werewolf.

>>22189667
>i was talking about all aspects of the game
Then you proceed to contradict yourself in your third reply by only talking about changes in the gameplay aspect. Brilliant.

>>22189651
resorting to strawman and projecting ? like i said yeah ZUN has all time in the world he dont have any deadlines or shareholders forcing him to do things and calling hsifs 2019 was just more about new of games
pcb come out in 2003 and you didnt pointed that out

>>22189715
because that what i would want to improve
music and characters in newhus are ok to good

>>22189667
The point is there is no reason for ZUN to keep with whatever standard because one man can only do so much.

>like more stages more characters to play gimmick that isnt copypasted from last game and so on
Last game has arguably the best gimmick in a long while.
Also, play spin-offs if you want something different. It's clear that ZUN intentionally keep certain aspects as some sort if identity, like having 6 stages and an Extra, and won't change the formula, at least for the main games.

>>22189733
Music is way worse than in classic games though, while gameplay is pretty fine.

>>22189667
>>22189728
So you would be happy if a game get more stages more characters with a new gimmick?
Like I said, go play cannonball.

>>22189705
Hence the quotation marks

>>22189737
your right i cant force him to do what i want
but dont tell me you dont had any expectations from new 2hu game that you didnt recieved
>>22189746
like i said "from ok to good" in newer games i kind of understand that you cant do 17 games in row and all of them have best soundtracks and character design and for the gameplay i just dislike the "UFO engine"

>>22189820
>dont tell me you dont had any expectations from new 2hu game that you didnt recieved
I expected pc-98hus return but it didn’t happen.
However, I don’t blame ZUN for it because it’s kinda self-centered.

>>22189812
Cannonball is barely a game.

>22189362
What brought all you subhuman crossboarders here? Was it all the goddamn shitty porn and mob*ge generals? Kill yourself.

>>22188824
MarisaLand Legacy just came out last year, actually. Not quite as good as NSML, but MLL is on Steam. They even added a free DLC level pack.

>>22189495
There is nothing surprising about this human village girl.

I'm just excited for a new game.

>>22188702
Kogasa? Ruining surprises?

>>22188956
He typically only does the final boss theme, since it's a character theme I suppose. The credits.main themes for the rest were all other composers.

>>22188963
>main menu themes
Naw.

>>22189235
That's stupid.

>>22189406
is the irony that you're the one crying?

>>22191202
Penultimate and final boss themes, more exactly. Except soku but it has 2 final boss themes

IaMP
-Night Falls ~ Evening Star
-Demystify Feast
-Onigashima in the Fairyland ~ Missing Power
SWR
-Crimson in the Black Sea ~ Legendary Fish
-Catastrophe in Bhavagra ~ Wonderful Heaven
-Bhavagra as Seen Through a Child's Mind
Hisoutensoku
-Unknown X ~ Unfound Adventure
-X, the Floating Object in the Sky
HM
-Futatsuiwa from Gensokyo
-The Lost Emotion
ULiL
-Battlefield of Hanahazama
-Last Occultism ~ Esotericist of the Present World
-Unkown X ~ Unfound Adventure (Rearranged)
AoCF
-Yorimashi Between Dreams and Reality ~ Necro-Fantasia
-Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist ~ Egoistic Flowers

There will be at least 2 new ZUN tracks in this game. That doesn't mean anything though, as this is the first Touhou spinoff that isn't a fighter. There could be much more depending on if there's new characters besides Toutetsu.

>>22188980
Cute, a twelve year old in my /jp/

>>22189652
ZUN loves his fakeouts.
EoSD goes from Chinese girl in stage 3 and then turns into western mansion the game
PCB fakes you out by making you think it's a return to PC98 when really it's going to the Netherworld for a new cast
TD doesn't set up the Taoist faction proper until Stage 4
DDC has you fight "western" themed youkai for the first three stages before dropping the concept entirely
LoLK builds up a conflict with the moon before switching gears in stage 4 and explaining the real threat
WBaWC does the same exact thing, just switch out the moon for hell.

>>22191500
>ULiL
>Unkown X ~ Unfound Adventure (Rearranged)

wat

>>22192182
oh it's in the 2nd OST disc.

>>22192190
I somehow didn't know this existed.

>>22192226
It was ps4 exclusive.

>>22192226
Bonus: listen to [Madness of Lunatic Visage ~ Horrible Night] and right after that listen to [The Space Shrine Maiden Appears]. I know the 2nd OST disc was released after the events of LoLK, but the transition between them fits so well.

Can't wait for the oil memes

>>22189131
>won't this mean the playable character is reduced to just Reimu? Or maybe her and Marisa?
That's not guaranteed at all. You can absolutely have sidescrollers with a lot of playable characters as long as they all have the same general playstyle and you don't make your characters too complicated. Touhou is a series that can do that; every character sprays bullets en masse, so if the game is more of a run-and-gun than platformer, then you can just give each character two or so different "weapons" and give them the same movement/dodging mechanics, maybe giving one or two special characters a changed mechanic to make them gimmicky.

Here's the cover

>>22189629
You don't remember horses in the back?

I hope there's some newhous...

>>22193090
>as long as they all have the same general playstyle and you don't make your characters too complicated
Like you wouldn't want to have a fisherhu

>>22189705
>Kagerou is a Japanese wolf youkai, not a actual werewolf.
>"The Bamboo Forest's Loup-Garou"
>Reimu and Marisa both say a variation of "I didn't know what youkai you were, you're a werewolf huh?" except Sakuya who knows she's a werewolf
>Species: Wolf-woman
>Ability: Ability to transform into a wolf on the night of the full moon
I don't know why idiots like you keep spouting that, she is a werewolf the game doesn't state it enough for you?
Just because we've never seen her on a normal night doesn't mean she doesn't have a human form.

>>22193115
That's not the final boss!

>>22189705
Not exactly. Wakasagihime is called a ningyo but appears to be a mermaid (ningyo are much more gyo than nin). Similarly although Sekibanki is called a rokurokubi she is headless like a dullahan (though she ALSO exhibits long neck traits, she primarily goes with head tricks).

Kagerou is a werewolf. She complains about the night of the full moon and everything.

>>22188702
think the other way around, anon
she's in the screenshot because this game came out of the blue and it's a 2d platformer, so it's surprising.
were'nt you surprised ?

>>22194782
Traffic isn't a good metaphor for surprises.

>>22193181

Kagerou is a werewolf you dope, but werewolves aren't exclusively European just like how Dragons aren't.
Hell, this isn't even the first werebeast we've seen.

>>22194826
So don't worry about yourself then shut in?
>fffuck yourself

>>22194044
Wackysack clearly takes inspiration from western mermaids but conflating eastern and western myth is par for the course for ZUN.
Sekibanki is identified as a a rokurokubi, she's far more akin to a nukekubi, which is often used interchangeably with the former. While her theme does bring to mind dullahan, in truth there are no real similarities between Sekibanki and traditional dullahan aside from the headless thing.

>>22189577
Then why the fuck you are in a OTAKU board, gtfo

Demo tomorrow? Or only the announcement?

>>22195760

We're supposed to get the demo.

I like the concept of Touhou trying more styles. Should have been like this from the start to be honest. Touhou 1 was a sort of brick breaker, Touhou 2 started the trend of shooting games, Touhou 7.5 started the fighting game trend, 9.5 started the photo thing (still kinda counts as a shooting game) and if only the official games had kept exploring other genres, it would have been great. RPG, platforming, maybe some kind of gestion games too with the aim of gathering faith while exterminating youkai to avoid having the faith gauge fall to zero. I dunno, there were quite a few things that could have been made throughout the years.

>>22195881
A platformer is a no-brainer and it's surprising it took them this long. I don't think we'd ever get more development-intensive games like RPGs or management games, though. ZUN is nowhere near enough to handle such a project by himself and Tasofro probably isn't big enough either.

it's been 10 fucking years since the last playable fighting game and these fags are coming out with a platformer

>>22196088
Tasofro never tell you chileanos to stop playing soku

>>22196088

They're still probably working on the new engine, I wouldn't expect the next fighter until 2021.

>>22196133
>chileanos
what did you mean by that?

>>22196134
I gave up all hope already, it'll probably be a fucking floater again

>>22196146

The only thing we know about it is, is that Tasofro want's it be competitive enough it could be in EVO.

I'm looking forward to how they'll fuck it up and whether it'll be worse than HM's launch.

It's only 8:30 in the morning there, I wouldn't expect it for another 4-6 hours.

>>22198638
What's a DL card?

>>22198241

>>22198724
Maybe because it is an early beta version, not a demo. I don't think we will get the full game this year, maybe a proper demo this winter Comiket.

WHEN SHE BREAKS
YOUR DICK IT'LL FLOP.

Here it is btw, looks like the guy stopped posting recently
https://m.weibo.cn/u/2371048404

>>22199083
>https://m.weibo.cn/u/2371048404
thanks
indeed it seems he stopped posting around an hour ago.. i wonder what happened to him.

>>22199091

He might have reached the end if it's that early a demo.

Or ninjas got him.

>>22199106

Given he was apparently on Stage 3, yeah that was probably the end of the demo.

Why he didn't post Stages 2 or 1 though who knows.

>>22199129
Stage 1 - Marisa
Stage 2 - Kogasa

>>22199093
Yuugi got beaten up? impossible.
Even ZUN never did that

>>22199150

Compare it to the previous screen and you'll notice that she did indeed drop her sake.

>>22199155
I'm sure she drank it

>>22199145

Is Reimu the stage 1 boss if you play as Marisa?

Well I'm presuming you can anyways since >>22198837 looks like there's at least one other character or shot type.

>>22199178
Well, it says 人妖選択(human yokai selections) , so I’m pretty sure we’ll get at least one playable yokai.
Which do you prefer, kogasa or yuugi?

>>22199249
Yuugi! I love her so much!!! And I would love to finally have her in a playable capacity!!!!!

>>22199386
Looks horrible.

>>22199386
looks like a worse version of LION HEART's games

>>22199386
I'd rather have an HM-shit tier fighting game then this just for the cute sprites and guest music. This shit is like a mediocre fangame.

>>22199386
I agree it looks outdated but the style is nice.
I hope the demo/full game looks better.

>>22194030
What if Reimu is the final boss?

>>22199386
everything looks so stiff
I expected so much more from Tasofro

>>22199386
I hate that thing tasofro games do where there's only specific moments during a spellcard that allow you to deal damage, and hitting at any other point just does worthless chip damage.

Name of the spell is "Violent Trichroma", for those wondering.

>>22199490
Not to defend them or anything but it's specifically stated that during spellcards the user has elevated defense. That's why the healthbars of bosses in mainline games take so much less damage during their spells and not because that small portion represents another full healthbar.

>no platform
>spirites and movements looks very stiff
>art design is horrible

>>22199386
kusofro at it again
To be honest it's not that bad, i guess I'm just spoiled by the recent wave of high quality fan games over the past 5 years. I was expecting super fluid sprites and cool glow/particle effects.

>>22199386
Why the fuck do you lose health when you use spells? At least that gimmick where you can delete all bullets of a single color looks pretty neat.

>>22199386
So is it a fighter or a platformer?

So this is pretty much just a weird new take on the fighters? If so, it wouldn't be weird for it to turn out bad. IaMP and HM were also quite rough to say the least. At least it's not another floater

this looks like a boss rush game or a platformer

when are we getting a new efz from tasofro

>>22199386
welp atleast there's Suika game, this looks too stiff.

the game doesn't look fun to play, but remember that's a very early alpha
maybe taso can manage to do a good game, the fact that they finally tried something fresh is promising at least.

Game looks like shit
Touhou is dead

>>22199386
this guy is so bad

>>22199615
Yeah, all people saying the game is shit probably only do because this mongoloid can't stop fucking up.

>>22199624
there's literally a big red line of moonrunes before marisa jets and this loser keeps getting hit by her

>>22199624
nah, the game looks bad, compared to their old titles, like, come on. Those sprites look static as hell.

>>22199614
It's literally the beta faggot, they might clean shit up.

is th17.5 the hardest video game ever made? all signs point to yes.

>>22196088
15, actually. IaMP was the only good 2hu FG, Sokushitter.

>>22199634
Beta or demo? imo demo gives players a slice of what the final game would be like, while everything in beta is subjected to changes.

>>22199651
It's a closed beta, the DL cards say as much

See: >>22198638

>>22199386
Putting aside my feelings for the game, I noticed that they have a painting like aesthetic to them; the background, the rough brush strokes for the characters, the paint like splashes when you get hit.
I wonder if they're gonna reveal that the black sticky substance isn't oil, it's INK.

>>22199651
The DL card posted above states Early Beta, so take that how you will.

>>22199696
there are black blobs that keep sliding on the ground, I don't think Ink does that.
And that's just the artist's style for character portraits. Not the best desu, but serviceable.

where's the link?

>>22199700
Aww, I thought I was into something. A 2hu with ability like Ammy would've been pretty cool.
>And that's just the artist's style for character portraits
I meant that as in they picked TOKIAME specifically because of the style.

>>22199386
I hope they put a fair amount of newer characters into this game. Seeing Kogasa and Yuugi again is nice though.

why is every fight an autoscroller

Oh shit it's Yuugi time.

>>22199757
It's a single player fighting game

>>22199757
It looks awkward as hell. Especially when the character is idle at the corner while the stage is moving.

>>22199386
Fucking EOPs in chat I swear.

link when

Now that I see all the three stages I think it's acceptable within Tasofro standard. Stage 2 is especially nice.

I saw someone say they want to sniff Kogasa's gas in the chat

>>22199541
Go home

>>22199161
anon i...

>>22199817
She spilled it on her own!

>>22199386
At least the floating games had good presentation if nothing else. This look like shovelware. The gameplay looks pretty boring too, seems kind of like a neutered version of Tenjou no Tempest.

>>22199805
>>22199805
honestly is quite a bummer that we don't have platforming stages
Reimu's moveset looks underutilized without it
but if they have to shoehorn it in like Cuphead then I'm ok with it
art is prpetty nice.
If i'm going to be honest tho i'm more hyped for the tea_basira game

>>22199808
Grass

>>22199860
this game has good presentation too imho
TOKIAME's art is amazing
a little more frames wouldn't hurt tho

>>22199860
Background and art are great, sprites are fairly disappointing after the floaters though

>>22199869
Yeah, I was mainly talking about the sprites. The backgrounds actually do look pretty nice.

>>22199885
desu if they wanted to do a platformer they kinda had to tone down the pixel dimension.
you want more space given to the stage unlike fighters.
On their own they look pretty good, my problem with them is that they could have been animated in a better way

Sprites are definitely stiff, though at the same time there's obviously an intent for \\STYLE// here, what with the splashes of color and the use of TOKIAME's brush-stroke heavy art.

I wish it had actual stages though.

Now this, this in unforgivable.

Don't just flip the sprite!!

>>22199860
>The gameplay looks pretty boring too, seems kind of like a neutered version of Tenjou no Tempest.
That's all I could think of while watching, especially when Yuugi showed up. Still looks like it'll be fun, but I hope it does a little more to distinguish itself.

>>22199933
>there's obviously an intent for \\STYLE// here
>>22199939
This FX specifically could use some animation for appearing and dissipation (quick white splash then it would disintegrate into smaller bits following the motion and contour). Right now they just appear and fade out which looks jarring as fuck.

gotta go fast

>>22199990
The 2hus like spinning so much in this game
They wanna become Sonic

So it's not a platformer, it's just your usual single player portion of fighting games but with smaller sprites and little to no combat moves.

>>22199990
Ironic considering that in both sonic and touhou it's better the fanmade stuff than the canonical stuff
Jesus Tasforo, we both know you can do better with action platformers, stop being lazy

For some reason I feel like Urumi will appear in this game.

>>22199093
Her clothes aren't torn up enough

Wow, that’s... really underwhelming. The bright side is that they might be using this to test an engine for a new ground-based fighter, I suppose?

The 'spin/wheel' attack combined with the blue water effects reminds me of Kimetsu no Yaiba. I guess the artstyle plays into that

wonder when a link will show up, if at all

the closed beta thing makes me feel dubious about it

>>22189336
Flashbacks to Super Marisa World level 3

>>22200142
This is still the beta, give em time anon, it might get a bit better.

I wonder if this is the game they were supposedly aiming to hit evo with
there's no way, right?
I suppose it remains to be seen if what we've seen is all there will be or if there's a whole lot they haven't shown

>>22200256
Aren't they still working on a port of AoCF to the PS4 and potentially Switch?

a newhu is going to be wasted on this

>>22200256
Their page says it's single-player game, I think.

>>22200303
What is the source for a Switch port of AoCF?
I can't find amything on it

>>22200306
Just like Kokoro

>>22200312
https://youtu.be/4llsZoSJPyE?t=6186 During a brief bit after this the director mentions that a potential switch release may come after the PS4 version.

>>22200342
But the PS4 release isn't even confirmed yet

>>22200347
I mean it was confirmed to be in development a few minutes earlier on the stream with only a few details regarding a demo showing at the then upcoming Reitaisai which barely anyone really reported news on aside from the fact that the game is going to be coming to the PS4 and ever since there was barely any word on it coming out or what it will have.

Yikes, yet another flop for Touhou. Looks like this series is finally dying.

>>22200433
/v/, please

Thoughts?

>>22200698
what are thoughts?

>>22200698
no thoughts here

>>22200698
It looks pretty visual-wise.
I can't call out the flaws yet because it's beta and they could improve and add more things later on, especially the spritework and gameplay.
Demo should be enough for me to start judging its quality though.

>>22200698
I'm kinda excited to play it, looks very unique, but it isn't a fighting game so I'll be mad anyways

>>22200698
I don't think I had a single moment of fun playing any of the ground fighters, so I'm pretty happy that it isn't going back to that style
looks pretty fun so I'm excited to play it

>>22200698
Give me link first and I will tell you my thought.

>Black water gushed out onto the surface. The water released an odd odour and was hard to get off once it's stuck to your body. It was not something that you could use as your everyday water.
Oh my, the Gulf War is now part of Gensokyo's history.

>>22200698
I really hope they make good on the "Early Beta" claim and make improvements. I've lost hope with any "this footage isn't final" kinda shit, so I hope TasoFro doesn't do the same here.

>>22200894

Given how badly put together the official version of HM was until it got patched I don't have a lot of hope here.

>>22200907
I wasn't in the 2hu fandom at HM release, what happened?

>>22201003

Some of the attacks and spell cards caused a flat out hard crash.

Do the sprites really look that bad? I think they look just fine. It's fitting for a platformer-like game.

>>22201079
I believe the general issue is twofold.

1) Tasofro's last three official games look GREAT. BEAUTIFUL sprites.
2) Several 2D games have come out recently that look *far* better than this. One's coming to early access in a few days and the spritework/most of the game itself was made by one person

>>22201090

Yeah if this came out years ago I think people would be more interested.

Coming out after Luna Nights and while Gensokyo Night Festival is in early access makes it look really bad in comparison.

>>22201090
>1) Tasofro's last three official games look GREAT. BEAUTIFUL sprites.
This. Honestly I wouldn't mind an IaMP platformer/adventure game.

>>22201090
If it wasn't for the stupid "floater" thing, they could have just reused the fighter sprites for a platformer.

>>22201116
GNF looks freaking amazing, I wonder if day/night cycle is implemeted? Maybe there's a hub area that the player will spent some time inside? A town maybe? I remember seeing a vid like that from tea_barisa

>>22201126
oh, like how all players float in mid-air since HM? Why couldn't they re-use IaMP/SWR/Soku spites?

>>22201143
They probably just want an excuse to work on the entire thing instead of reusing assets.
I mean it's not like no one has done it before, so it's not impossible.

>>22200698
Touhou is declining

It looks fine, don't know why people are complaining so much. Then again this always happens.
The style reminds of some ancient asian ink art you find on scrolls, similar to how Total War: Three Kingdom did it.

>>22201354
for some people it's hard to call the new game "decent" because they are obsessed with incomparable luna nights

>>22201354
by style you mean the portraits only? because the backgrounds and fx are kinda not good
people complain because it looks so much worse than tasofro's old games, in which they have incredible amount of fluidity in animation and amazing fx. That being said, maybe it will look better in the final release, it's early beta afterall. How did old FGs' demos look when they were released? I'm curious.

>>22198943
YES
FUCKING FINALLY

My theory is that the sprite artist(s?) for the next fighter are still working hard so meanwhile they are making a not-so-big side project just to work on something.

>>22201354
It "looks fine", sure, but if you seriously have zero problem with it, I would say your bar's set too low.

>>22201354
The portraits are extremely good but I was expecting more for the rest because Antinomy of Common Flower honestly has some crazy good sprite animations and backgrounds

>>22201396
No, it's easy to find the inspiration considering all the black outlines and the ink-like attack effects. The backgrounds also look more than fine if they're going for that inkscroll artstyle, they're lacking in animation but the actual look of it is fine. Ancient City looks good.
In terms of before, I don't remember there being an early beta before of a Tasofro game, just demos.

>>22200314
Little suspecting>

>>22201354
it looks great when it's just screenshots. Actual animation? Not so much.

>>22200314
Kokoro is cute tho, so it's fine.

How has this demo not been dumped yet

>>22201576

The card bullshit is probably delaying things.

>>22201590
That's a sight innaccurate.

>>22201617
delet this

>>22201617
why do you even bother coming

I mean from a glance I feel that this game from a game play perspective looks like a much worse take on Mystical Chain and that game was released 10 years ago.

>>22200698
ZUN should try other doujin groups other than Tasofro

>>22201692
Now that you mentioned it, why didn't he? I get they go way back , but it's not like he's obligated to keep choosing TasoFro, right?

>>22201716
At this point it's either him just knowing them really well, or them being one of the few doujin groups who can stick to a schedule and reliably deliver in his eyes.

so... no link.... huh...

how do i evade marisa's first spellcard (when she charges with her broom)? even if i dash i get damage

>>22202370
Attacking also cancels stuff apparently

>>22202370
i get the error even when running it in japanese

this is pretty fun wish there was a bit more to it though

>>22202381
Maybe because the game is in fullscreens only

>>22202307
the window opens up and then immediately closes, I just want to play 2hu jesus christ

all dialogues are just dots though!!

>>22202400
you don't get an error?
when i try to open it some kind of error pops up

>>22202405
I fixed it, now I get an error when Reimu appears in the cutscene

>>22202432
how did you fix?
and are you using windows 7? a lot of people experiencing the issue are running 7 it seems

why are tasofro games always so buggy when they first come around

there appear to be issues with running it on windows 7 and linux. not sure why though.

ITT: That touhou cycle picture except worse because this time they're being straightforward with us that this is an Early Beta I won't defend the spritework here though

Also fuck off chileans, the floaters were fine

>>22202442
my windows (10) username had a non-ASCII character in it, so I made a new one and it worked
also that Marisa error, it somehow fixed itself what the fuck

>>22202478
i expect a good deal of update patches, goodness

>>22202487
it is a beta version after all, I didn't even expect it to be working properly

It sometimes runs in my windows 8.1, but no audio and before starting the fight with Marisa, rip game

>>22202370
my system locale is japanese so that can't be it

>>22202336
we're both on win7, so it might be that, especially from what >>22202442 said

So you can get lives/bombs by grazing with dash

Combat is surprisingly fun but if the finished game is just bossfight after bossfight I'm going to be really disappointed.

>>22202702

I wouldn't expect it.

I honestly think 17.5 is just a beta test of the engine they'll be using for the next batch of fighters.

So how do you get past error c0000005 on win7?

>>22202702
>>22202800
With the presence of elevation changes and such, the full game might be what a shmup Touhou would look like if it was horizontal and had gravity. Either that or an Alien Soldier-style boss rush game.

Too much hype for a game that doesn't work on 50% of people's PCs. Thanks Tasofro, your optimization problems are always welcome

>>22202922
it's like the game is in early beta or something

>>22202922

At least this time the game doesn't crash when an enemy uses a certain attack.

Yet.

>>22202922
works without problems on my machine :^)

>>22202948
This but unironically.
I just used AppLocale and game runs like a charm.
Also it's a fucking early beta, what were all these /v/ rejects expecting?

>>22202966
idk about locale, my computer's on nip locale indefinitely

This game is a lot of fun. It took a bit to get used to, but I'm loving everything about it. I hope they make more of these types of games in the future.

Does the oil do anything or does it just slosh around?

>>22203076
You can collect it, and I think it gives you more lives.

>>22202938
It sometimes crashes when Yuugi uses her spellcard

>>22203076
Dashing through it will fill your water gauge. When it reaches 100% you get an extra orb.

Orbs are lives but can also be used as bombs.

Any videos of people actually beating the thing yet? I can't get past that Yuugi attack where she destroys the floor and starts blasting danmaku all over the place while literal waves of bullets flood the bottom half of the screen. Shit's literally impossible.

I'm shit at this game, I don't even know how to exactly cancel bullets aside dashing

doesn't work for me...
I have w7 and my pc is in japago.
computer's name doesn't use weird characters (if that matters)
if someone find how to resolve this issue, it seems we're several to have it.

Is the game out? any newhus in the demo?

>>22203215
>>22202307 has link; no newhus though.

>>22203104
>>22203124
Got it

>>22203165
It's crashing for all win7. Try win10

>>22203221
fuck, is there a release date for the full game?

>>22199386
So, the bosses are Marisa, Kogasa and Yuugi?

I'm terrible at this, lost 4 lives against the last spell card and I fear what will come next in the games.
Wish there was a cancel or similar system, sometimes you're stuck mid combo or flying and the opponent decides to do those physical attacks that hurt you no matter what.

Anyway the music is very good and while I had my doubts on the graphics when the screenshots got released, I like how it actually looks on full screen, the scanlines really help with what otherwise would be a pixelated mess.

>>22203270

In the beta yes. It's possible the first could change if Marisa is playable in the full game.

>>22203252

No. Given this is specifically an "early" beta and not even a demo I wouldn't hold out on it being done for some time.

>>22203277
I thought the "scanlines" were just the shitty weibo posters camera, but looking at in a screenshot kind of gives it a paper-like texture. It's neat.
also yuugi a cute

>>22203277
Have you tried getting good? It's quite easy to just not stand under Yuugi.

You really don't need to finish a full combo either, stop mashing. All that really matters is getting that one hit in when the circle around her turns red (for the stun)

It is safe to believe this game is going to have plataform-based type of game? Like aventuring trough levels, shooting fairies and then the boss fight
Kinda like megaman X you know

>>22203327
Went for another run and yeah I'm starting to get the hang of it, and I didn't even know about the red circle thingy.
Also I don't know if I'm missing something with Reimu's spell card though because I never use it since it doesn't deal much damage, it doesn't protect you and wastes one life.

>>22203339
I'm pretty sure that's what everyone thought when it was first shown, but the control scheme doesn't make shooting directly in front of you easy and I feel like as it is, it wouldn't work that great
I do think trying to evolve it into that would be a good idea though

>>22203339
Considering the amount of autoscrolling present in the boss fights, I'm guessing the stages will be like that too. Like what >>22202868 described. I know there's some arcade games that are like that, but I can't recall any names.

>>22203351
You can evade bullets and cancel them with dash attacks, then hit the fairies that supposedly would have low HP.
It would work similarly to Megaman Zero.

>>22203367
Altered Beast comes to mind.

That'd be nice. Altered Beast but you can dash-fly all over the place and Sonic-spin into fairies.

>>22203242
can't upgrade to w10 but that's nice to know where the problem comes from though, thanks.
i hope they'll fix that, their website list the game compatible to w7.

cool

>>22203907
Can someone upload on YouTube the ost
The .oga files are the ones you want

okay I take my words back, this plays surprisingly really well. I had fun. The hitstops feels satisfying as fuck. I hope there's like 10 stages since it's only bossfights.

>>22202370
Attacks that have that red warning thing aren't grazeable, you just have to move out of the way in time.

>>22203925
how do you fix it then?

>>22203925
>>22204254
ye, is there a fix to that ?

>>22203925

>>22204300

>>22203925
Is this a trick to get people upgrading to 10? How heinous.

You guys keep mentioning Windows 7 and Windows 10

Tasofro claims it's supported, but I doubt anyone exists who could confirm such a thing.

>>22204166

I agree with this anon. The first 5 or so minutes with the game I was disappointed but by the time I defeated Yuugi I wanted more. It's pretty fun. I'm OK if they do boss fights only as long as they cram in a lot of them.
