/jp/ - Otaku Culture

This is not a visual novel so I find it hard to care.

TOE HOES

Looks like a rip-off of PoFV.
Also: POWER POINT!

Is touhou Obscure enough for this guy to think he can get away with this?

only 4 xbox 360

>>3880298

In America?

Yes.

Yes it is.

vertical shooters are dead in the American market anyway.

...Can he actually get away with this?

Bad enough that it's a blatant rip off of an existing product but couldn't the fucking nerd pull the dick out of his mouth for five seconds when making his presentation?

Suigintou is one of the bosses.

>...Can he actually get away with this?
He lives in Texas, so... no.

Most obvious ripoff ever holy shitting dicks.

>>3880266
Why is he unbelting himself in front of the judges?

>>3880379
Live demonstration of Master Spark.

Why does he even think anyone would buy his rip-off?

Also; common decency must be a foreign concept for him.

>>3880379

>>3880266
Touhou? I liked it better when it was called Skies Ablaze.

Also: http://www.unlockxbox.com/gameideas/gameIdeaDetails.aspx?gameId=287

The second video makes everyone look incredibly clueless.

>>3880383
If the game was voiced by Hosaka, I'd buy it no matter the content.
Yes. Buy.

>>3880405
>it's kind of a traditional Japanese RPG scrolling fighter

What the fuck am I listening to?

>>3880416
She's an editor for IGN.

ITT: once again Touhou is the only STG we have ever played.

Oh man, it's a vertical shooter! That's so ripping off ZUN!

>he traced IN gameplay

>>3880425
look at his concept sketches

>>3880425
Surely no one would complain if he just made it with fighter planes and copied, say, Raptor.

I know I wouldn't see it on /jp/, at least.

EVERY SHUMP ARE ALL TOUHOU RIP OFFS.

Jesus fuck, at least TRY to give this game a chance. Hell, for all we know, it could be even more fun than a touhou game.

It's clear he's inspired by ZUN, that doesn't mean he's trying to steal his shit.

Sure is Touhou and Valkyrie Sky in there.

Not seeing a problem.

>>3880455
Yes it does.
I've had it with Western games trying to make stuff look like it's straight out of Akihabara and therefore instantly awesome.

>>3880455
eeeh yeah it is. because ZUN should own the intellectual property rights over this game

>>3880455
There are plenty of vertical shooters that aren't touhou, even japanese with witches flying around dodging bullets. But this one is different. It's a rip-off. I don't know how you can suggest otherwise after seeing the video.

I like that he tries to combine features of his "favourite shmups" (no, touhou is not a shmup, they are many shmups).
No Touhou game has featured good singleplayer AND versus AND co-op mode.

However, he sucks at presenting the game and his appearance is awful, too. The guy on the right with the blue shirt was having really good ideas. He asked him about the spells: can they do 'this and that' or are they just bullets. Those effects would be great, but this guy totally ignored that and said "just bullets" or something like that.
The games not finished (as seen in the sketches). It's not like he can't incorporate others ideas anymore.

I'm shocked that there are people in this jury who don't even know what a shmup is.

>>3880473
people deciding the video games for people don't actually play them. THIS IS MARKETING.

Let me guess: the story takes place in a magical fantasy land called the "Land of Illusions".

>>3880486
Don't forget the extra stages on the "moon" when you've cleared story mode on hard.

>>3880441
FUCK YES RAPTOR!!!!

Screw the presentation, I'm enjoying the comments:

>too complicated, sorry but no vote from me...
(granted, the guy was a poor presenter)
>i think it sounds pretty good, except it just seams like it would be like GOW's horde mode mixed with elder scrolls, im not sure if tis is the best i dea i have ever heard but it certianly isnt a bad one

>>3880521
>Gears of War
>Oblivion
>SHMUPs!?

>>3880521
>Gears of War
>The Elder Scrolls
>SHMUPs!?

Is there a shmup with good co-op?

ITT: everyone just learned the non-existant term "SHMUP" and is using it like they knew it all along.

>>3880548
Raiden.

Yes because shmups, especially Touhou, are known for being highly original.

I'll say his character designs are pretty shitty, though.

>>3880568
It's called "non-existent", not "non-existant".

Awesome, a Touhou game with Suigintou. Fund it.

>What's the core piece of fun that I'm gonna have in YOUR game, that I won't have in any other RPG?

Man, I don't know.

Don't care about the game either way. The judges are hilarious.

>>3880573
Thanks.

On second thought, I realized I don't really have anyone to co-op with.

But how's it work? In most SHMUP's I've played, co-op only serves to mess up streaming.

>>3880589
Undefined Fantastic Object

>>3880468

>implying that ZUN gives one flying fuck about IP when he has actively encouraged people not only creating but SELLING derivatives of his works

>>3880597
What's focus?
What are the implications of focus?
What is the strategy behind focus?
What does focusing add to the game?
Is focus FUN?

>>3880612
Fucking this.
Even if it was a rip off, ZUN's too drunk off his ass to care anyway.

>>3880624
>"I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A SHMUP BEFORE, TEEHEHEHEHE!"

600 pounds etc.

even in the scope of shmups that star little spellcasting girls there is more than just touhou. This guy's concept isn't very original, but he doesn't present it like he came up with something that's never been done before.

also, go to the web page and watch the judges who review it, they are by far the most entertaining thing about all of this.

>>3880650
The whole thing is so fucking awkward, jesus christ.

>>3880627

With that said, I doubt ZUN would approve of this, as the difference between a derivative and a rip-off is that derivatives, whether it's 4koma, games, doujins, or music, always list ZUN as the creator of the concepts and world they are using in their works. Furthermore, ZUN has explicitly and repeatedly given permission to use these works in whatever way they so choose.

However, this guy is presenting ideas, character concepts, and even bullet patterns that are directly lifted from Touhou, as his own original work, and attempting to use this for fiduciary gain.

I do agree that ZUN probably won't give a shit unless his core fans throw a massive bitchfest (which is not at all outside the realm of possibility), however, the likelihood of him giving a shit is far higher than zero, due to the blatantness of the ripoff, and the fact that it's a BAKA FILTHY GAIJIN doing it.

Even if ZUN wanted to say, exercise IP rights or something, I doubt he could, because 1: I'm not sure what international laws govern IP, seeing these are two different countries, 2: ZUN simply doesn't have the cash to do this, as he has steadfastly resisted making money of Touhou 3: He does not want to provide an unintended chilling effect on the derivative works he DOES support, as an IP case will almost certainly will.

>>3880664
It'd still do to toss him an email and make the right corner of 2ch aware of it. Maybe someone with balls would track down and tell the judges. Too bad I don't speak Japanese.

>>3880681
Just tell him on Twitter by sending the link to the video.

>>3880624
if you think about it, these are fairly foreign concepts even to video game nerds if they aren't into this fairly narrow genre.

I'm totally voting for this, if only to see the resulting shitstorm.

Anyone with me?

zun won't give a fuck

>>3880762
We could probably win it if we got /v/ onboard.

>>3880762
>>3880770
YEAH LET'S DO IT FOR THE LULZ ANONYMOUS IS LE-

Fuck you.

The look and feel is the only thing he's ripping off ZUN.

Everything else has been a staple of the genre ever since the mid-'90s.

>>3880782
bahahah i was reading an old thread about that chanology shit in some other forum a few minutes ago

>>3880790

He doesn't even have a cast of loli.

Options, bombs, focus, people outside of spaceships are not new.

But I have to say, when I saw the PoFV drawing, It looked like Sakuya vs. some other random bastard.

ZOMG HALO IS A RIP-OFF OF DOOM

>>3880437
>look at his concept sketches

Because ZUN is all about the evil monocled cowboys with scarves and wide-brimmed hats, right?

>>3880266
What an asshole. Rips off the Seihou project and doesn't even give it any credit.

>>3880827
no it's not.

But Heroes of Newerth is a rip off of DoTA.

Like Torchlight is a rip off of Diablo

I'm sure the character names are Maria and Remyu. Maybe some Sakura also.

>>3880846
Torchlight was developed by the same people as Diablo.

I'd watch this but the "ITS COOL ANIME"-looking character sketch in the OP pic made vomit rise in my throat so I'm just gonna pass

I would play this game.

Doesn't matter. Did you see his interview with the judges? Absolutely pathetic.

Read some of his comments. His social ineptness even extends into the Internet.

The only thing that irritated me was that you all are calling it a PoFV clone, which is itself a clone.

Is he from /jp/? Because damn, with such social skills he will never be able to convince anyone. In fact, in several moments of the presentation it felt like he didn't even knew what he was talking about.

>Havok0808
>I like this one. It needs zombies though ;) GL BEEJ

Conversely, if some guy in Japan ripped off some quintessentially American game - I dunno, SimCity except the inhabitants wear frilly hats - at least three-quarters of the board would wait in line to suck his dick.

>>3880910
See:

Holy shit, this guy sucks at presenting.
>When you try to pick a spell, do you just pause the game or something?
>No, you just kinda pick something and go with it.

Mage's don't just go around casting shit, I'll have you know.
They write down their spells every morning, and use only those.
Just in this, you fill your spellbook with different coloured magic missiles!

>>3880893
Bitches don't know about my sweet tacos.

This game "rips off" Touhou in the same way that Halo "rips off" Doom. You think Phantasmagoria of Flower view invented the concept of a split-screen VS shmup? Try playing some Twinkle Star Sprites. Loli characters in shmups have been standard since the nineties...see Trouble Witches, Shikigami no Shiro, Otomedius, or basically any doujin shmup. Also, the character designs in this game, if you actually take a look at them, are completely different from what ZUN would do. Evil cowboys? Short skirted maho shoujo?

Feels quite good, considering the guy has no chance.

Personally, the Artifact sounds rather awesome. I hope it wins.

As an inspiring game designer myself, this contest makes me sick. Is this how real musicians feel when they're watching American Idol? Those retro genres don't stand a chance in this modern market. But even if they did, why would you make a contest about game idea/concepts? Any idiot with a Wii can think of a gameplay concept; they should have only allowed designers with playable demos to enter the contest. Also, all of the STGs that were proposed in that contest could easily be coded in a year if you teamed up with someone and/or put enough time/effort into it. If you're not trying to make a lunatic danmaku like Touhou then coding an STG is easy.

>>3880914

How is Patchucon anything like Sim City? It's just another random tower defense game. And Square-Enix already cashed in on that with Crystal Defenders.

I love how hard he's trying to cover up his southern draaaaaaawl.

>>3881020
*aspiring

Guys, guys. Haven't you ever heard of Guitar Hero?

If that doesn't show how filthy gaijins can steal an original idea from a Japanese company, then I do know what does.

Hahaha, this guy is going to just take Touhou, run with it and make a lot of money in the process. I love it! That's what you get Zun, you fucking prick, for trying to keep Touhou JAPANESE ONRY. If you had signed a deal with an American distributor this wouldn't have happened. Sweet justice.

>>3881258
except this scrub won't win, anyway.

>>3880942
>>3881288
you're just going to jinx it.

Jesus christ, the judges dont know shit about games. I mean, the contest is about arcade styled games and they dont know what a shmup is?

>>3881021
It's an example of "some quintessentially American game", aka RTS.

I would actually like to see this guy win the competition and make his game, because I want to see more American games with lolis.

dude even ripped off the hud layout verbatim
good god, this enrages me

I can't even fucking read this thread

>>3881395
Of course not.
However he put all of those into one game.
And now this man is putting it all into one game.

ZUN invented Japan.

>>3881427
And they have never existed together in a game before.

Touhou is the only shmup I've played that the creator seems to actually care what the patterns look like.

>>3881442
>Touhou is the only shmup I've played

ZUN invented Taito
ZUN invented shrine maidens
ZUN invented dickgirls

Dodonpachi DOJ does not look like a Touhou ripoff AT ALL, yet it has lolis, swirling bullets and focused movement.
This guy is a hack and should just die.

zun is original

>>3881395
>Zun invented PoFV style game play
I honestly didn't know that he hadn't until this thread. I thought that that had been his own unique addition to the genre, like StB was.

>>3881441
2nd row isn't a shmup. Also implying like anyone cares about PC-98, or that those games are similar to PC.

>>3881445
Its not, its just in most other ones, its bullets everywhere, try to doge them.

>>3881441
Let's see that PoFV gameplay then, bro.

>>3881441
Mind blown.

(First compared game is KiKi KaiKai: Nazo no Kuro Manto, second is Twinkle Star Sprites)

ZUN invented lock-on system--- oh wait.

>>3881457
The only thing ZUN added to the genre is shitty trumpet noises.

I hope StB is ripped off of something, because that game is the buggiest piece of shit he's ever made.

Are the people saying this isn't a blatant ripoff trolling or just fucking blind?

>>3881467
Both from Taito SO ZUN INVENTED THEM TOO

>>3881455
Dodonpachi DOJ was a shit game compared to the previous DDP's so nobody cared.

>>3881469
Nobody said that.

>>3881493
Except that PC and PC-98 games have a completely different feel to them. For obvious reasons. Unless you're trying to generalize, one touhou is a rip off, therefore all touhous are. ZUN's early games were made for fun, and as practice in programming games.

>>3881498
Your mom is a ripoff

>>3881476
Was DOJ where the series suddenly became about lolis?

>>3881505
OF MY DICK

*grabs dick*

Stop this implying shit you fucking /v/ cockends.

how can anybody hate stb

>>3881496
That game fucking crashes instead of exiting all the time and is prone to coming back to a blank screen after a stage.

Even the wiki confirms this
http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Shoot_the_Bullet:_Miscellaneous

>>3881488
Where's the swirly patterns?
Where's the focus movement?

My point is not about ZUN's originality, it's about this man taking the obvious mish-mash formula of Touhou and making it his own.

>>3881517
Huh, never happened to me once. I've caught all the other Touhou bugs LIKE SA FUCKING CRASHING AFTER BEATING A PRACTICE MODE STAGE but StB has been rock solid.

>>3881517
this literally happened to me in every windows game

>>3881514
>cockends.
what?

>>3881506
As far as I know, yes.
But then I've only played DOJ and the first DDP, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

>>3881502
If you think PC-98 > PC is a big enough step that ZUN is an innovative genius, that has created nothing but original STG themes and mechanics since the platform change, then there's plenty of room for the penis in the OP to be making something highly original and really, totally, definitely not touhou at all.

Wait, so this is a joke, right?

>>3881536
There is room, but it doesn't look like he wants to do anything but remake touhou with insertion character here and a couple of design features that sound cool on paper.

>>3881533
Loli's appear on the screen for a tenth of a second in front of a grainy computer display while you press left then A to select your ship.

The problem is that Skies Ablaze sounds like a below average shmup with very little redeeming factors. It's 12 years too late. Also the guy presenting it was pretty terrible and didn't seem entirely sure about what he wanted.

The Artifact on the other hand seemed like a fairly interesting idea. The way it would fire a wall of bullets at you and then give you a 5 seconds window to guide your missles at an enemy weakpoint could work pretty damn well. Plus, the guy presenting it sounded confident and really knew what he wanted.

Not that it matters anyway, both of them would be dumbed down because they'd be too hard for weakling Americans.

>the dialogue throughout the game is intended to be as immersive as the gameplay con-trib-you-ting to the players motivation to finish the game

This can't be a rip off of touhou.

>>3881539
Having a color besides purple, and a few bullets for flair, as well as not just covering the screen with a simple algorithm does indeed make patterns look nicer. Thank you for showing an example of bullets everywhere, just dodge them.

>>3881533
It's funny because I first encountered CAVE with DDP which gave me the impression that they made no-nonsense games about ships and bullets. And then I explored their catalog and like literally every other game they made is full of lolis or screaming ESP manga bishies or a woman who laughs at me from a giant insect. Or disco dancing.

I will admit, ZUN did invent the little *BOSS* icon at the bottom of the screen.

>>3881539
Why do people always link this when it has nothing to do with the rest of the game or any other game they've made

>>3881539
I know this is completely off topic, but man, they'll never beat Radiant Silvergun at a final boss theme.

This guy is ripping off Castle Shikigami too.

chill the fuck out, there are tons of games like this out already.

Because apparently all Touhou does is take a bunch of bullets and make geometric shapes with them.

If there's any contribution Touhou made to the genre, it's the emphasis on bullet patterns. They have names, are tightly associated to their owners and also tend to do more that just make circles around the player. I'm pretty sure it's more than just a lot of shit thrown at you to take your quarters.

I want this guy to draw more bruce timm - esque magical girls. (like the style he used at 1:22)

DONT TELL ME TO CHILL BOOOOOOOF, I WILL FUCKING STAB YOU

ha ha [/sarcasm]

I think (and I could be wrong) that the reason there is so much butthurt and raeg going on is the fact that this guy is actually a finalist, trying to put his "original idea" out there and actually has a chance of winning, since all the other ideas there look like total piles of dogshit.

A few weeks ago I wrote a rant about how touhou would never be popular in a mainstream american market, but I never counted on the possibility of it getting shoved down our throats with a FUCKIN EXTREMEEEEEE DORITOS advertising blitz, and it being a knock off of Touhou instead. When retards are told to like something, they like it good. Doritos and Xboex are a sort of perfect storm at telling retards what to like.

At the very least it makes me uneasy because then I'll have to say things like "I liked touhou before it was mainstream," which will probably result in a strong urge to strangle myself.

Also whoever made a witty comment about ZUN trumpets- fuck you, I loev ZUN trumpets.

>>3880936

>Loli characters in shmups have been standard since the nineties...see Trouble Witches, Shikigami no Shiro, Otomedius, or basically any doujin shmup

Saying that would be like living in a nightmare, but one even worse than that one where you go to school but once there you realize you forgot your pants.

Yes! Invoke the wrath of 2ch! Because if you don't, all of Touhou will be DESTROYED!

>>3881612
I'm just saying that people always link that to prove something when it's a really bad example.

But sure, the lucid patterns are noteworthy. I'm sure ZUN didn't invent it but he sure made a thing out of it.

>>3881651
He's an idiot and could at least have mentioned Cotton or Magical Chase, but he's right in that Japanese games have ALWAYS been full of lolis.

>>3881651
Ever heard of Gunbird?
And Batsugun was the first danmaku ever and one of the characters was a loli.

Go near the bullets to collect fizzle!

Hold shift for focused theft!

What the fuck is "Fizzle"? Seems like either a way to get an advertising tie-in (imagine ads for Pepsi or Coke on a Touhou rip-off) or a way to make it seem original.

>>3881734
Pepsi is almost a yin yan logo. Reimu could easily have a pepsi ball.

>>3881539
Reminds me of Chalk.

>>3881794
Or South Korean flag.

"It's a big bunch a crap you just gott--"
"That's the way to sell a game!"

This shit is physically painful to watch. I'm more saddened by the fact this guy barely has an idea what to do with his idea than where he got it from in the first place. And the general ignorance of every judge on board.

I love hard games, but ones with vertical learning curves, like this guy makes his game out to be, are exercises in pure frustration that appeal to almost nobody. Even ballbusting Japanese music games like IIDX or Pop'n Music have easy shit to balance out and transition you into the inhuman.

>>3881734
It's an original and innovative mechanic of which we currently lack a description.

>>3881922

>more like i actually care about the fact that some random guy is pimping someone else's creation that i happen to like as his own original idea

Geez, at least wait until he wins before starting a shitstorm.

Also, ZUN may be a ripoff but at least he steals from DIFFERENT games. Even the music he stole came from a variety of sources. Also, frills and silly hats are highly innovative.

>>3880846

This.

There is a difference between getting been influenced by and blatantly ripping it off.

Doujin shit got PWNED.

>>3882126

No one is safe from taking hints from other games or media. Hell, there is a fuckton of stuff that George "stole" that are in Star Wars. Yet, his movie didn't turn out to be a ripoff, he took stuff from other works, mixed with his own ideas and made something unique.

Zun did the same, while there are many similar games to Touhou, he never copied any of them. He just absorbed ideas and made something of his own.

But this game? That's a copy. It's so fucking obvious.

>>3882126
Yeah, I mean look how far afield ZUN went when he stole Byakuren's theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RomSd2uniVc

>>3881852 vertical learning curve
Holy shit, make this game, release it as freeware, market it to Dwarf Fortress neckbeard aspies, live comfortably for the rest of your life off of paypal donations.

Oh god what am I looking at

IIT:

EVERYTHING.

Zun invented the Universe.

Well, after reading all the thread and laughing with most of the posts, i must say.. i dont care. And if he does win, and does a good game, we get another thing to play.
....and buy? *chuckle*

So anyone got his dox yet so we can ruin his life?

>>3882184
Dwarf Fortress isn't that hard to learn, it can just be kind of intimidating at first because of all the menus and crap, and it can be difficult to figure out how to get started. Once you learn a few basics though, it's really pretty straightforward. Some people find the graphical style confusing, but really once you get your fortress going it becomes pretty obvious what everything is. It's mostly just the surface that can look like a bunch of random ascii shit if you're not used to it.

>>3882209

>LOL ANONYMOUS IS LEEGUN RAID TIEM XD!!!

EPIC RAID /B/RO!

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first convince Zun to invent the universe.

>>3882239

Zun invented the Big Bang.

>>3882213
It still has a vertical learning curve. To almost anyone playing for the first time, it's literally incomprehensible. And it takes a wiki or someone explaining it to you to accomplish nearly anything.

These are supposed to be industry insiders and NOT ONE of them knows Touhou?
Let alone what a shmup is? (It's a token woman panelist, I understand...)

I wonder if ZUN even knows about this? Considering he's sober enough to care.

I'll get on the red phone immediately and tell him that a guy 10,000 miles away failed to pitch a game that probably drew inspiration from his own.

Anyone who thinks this is merely "inspiration" is a fucking idiot. There's a difference between borrowing ideas from something, and shamelessly copying it.

To be honest it was too embarassing to watch so I only caught a few details.

>A vertical shooter like the coin ops from the 80s and 90s. Instead of playing as an airplane or space ship, you play as one of two spell casters. They each have their own enchanting story with a bit of comedy thrown in. Among the various stages are a host of colorful characters the player meets along their journey.
sounds like Touhou

Shit, man. If he can pull this off, good for him, but I sincerely doubt that's going to happen. If ZUN found out I suppose there could be legal implications, but that's the risk he takes.

VOTE FOR HIM. THEN VOTE FOR PS3 PORT OF RESULTING GAME

The only concept of his that isn't shamelessly stolen from Touhou is 2P co-op, a feature that has generally failed miserably in every shmup ever made.

Rip off Touhou
Make millions

>>3882479
Yup, Touhou. That's pretty much the point of the thread.

>>3882505
Jesus christ, it's like a carbon copy of touhou.
He even stole the fucking boss cursor on the bottom of the screen.

Wow, this is pathetic.

>>3882550
The guy's game or this thread?

this guy is such a douche in the comments section. fuckin fatass

Touhou is almostly all about music. If this guy wants to achieve success with his game, he should compose a REALLY catchy soundtrack for it.

Hey /jp/, if I made a danmaku game that was heavily influenced by the Touhou series and then posted it here as a free game, what kind of reaction should I expect to get.

He'll probably just rip it off of the touhou CDs
Either that or simply use some of IOSYS' music.

You'll get many a nice reply, since

Shut up secondaryfag.

>>3882576
K, I'll get back to you after about a year slaving over C++ in notepad.

I guess you can't get disqualified for plagiarism for this garbage of a contest

I just woke up after going to sleep 5 or 4 hours ago, and this thread is still going?
/jp/ really cares about their touhou, don't they?

>>3882505
Without watching, I'm going to take a wild guess that when you get 250 "essence" you gain a life and the number to get increases.

>>3882607
Our Touhoues are serious business, leave them alone

>>3882607
Given that it is the primary cause for its existence in the first place, yeah.

ESSENCE

Vote for other shoot em up game (The Artifact) and get it to win.

Beanie-Gaijin wins for somewhat original concept while filthy-gaijin goes an hero for failing to succeed as a parasite.
