Introduce two male characters.

One monster/demon that hates all humans and wishes to destroy them all. Thinks monsters are superior, trying to flee to gensokyo preferably from Europe
With European tendencies: sophisticated,
Charming, asshole, quick with rebuttals, arrogant considers all others beneath him

One Christian demon hunter that hates all monsters and wishes to purge the world of them and chases the first character into Gensoyko believe that if you aren't with him you're against him preferably from America with American tendencies: reckless, boastful, total dick likes getting into fights and brawls usually spouts one liners believes he can do no wrong arrogant but plays it up for his own amusement


Hate each other with a passion
Monster/demon: I will hate you until the stars burn out and the last electron in the universe falls apart into nothing. FUCK YOU HUMAN!

Christian demon hunter: Yeah and i'll hate you until every light amongst a billion worlds is extinguished. There is only lonliness for you, and death for your kind.

Feel free to criticize/hate my idea

Have you played Touhou for more than a month? IN is not that good. It has a cheap continue system and an easy grab line. The characters are okay. I don't know why IN is somehow the holy grail of the series.

There are many better games. I don't personally mind the DDC engine. Nice pace, and very modern.

Sure, but simplicity is sometimes good for the gameplay too. Like I said, IN had additional content (with the B route and in spell practice mode with unlockable spellcards). Also, even though we can't really discuss tastes, I thought lots of patterns and BGMs were pretty memorable.

>Have you played Touhou for more than a month?
I played it since MoF were released. I stopped playing actively 2 or 3 years ago, but I still do at least a 1CC in hard whenever a new game comes out.

>> No.12324801

>>12324737
It's apparent to anyone with half a brain that ZUN put far more effort and spirit into IN than DDC. In DDC's initial release, there was a bug that crashed the game on lunatic with all of the A shot types, which means that ZUN clearly never 1cc'd with an A shot type on lunatic himself. And those are the shot types that are stronger for survival too. I won't comment on the system itself, because I have spent much less time with it than I have with IN, and in many ways rating the quality of a system can call upon lots of subjectivity, but I think it's apparent to anyone who has spent a year or so with IN that ZUN truly poured every ounce of his soul into that game. Just spend half an hour thinking about the various incentives that the various aspects of the scoring system set up; the way everything fits together is extremely clever, and it's so elegantly put together that you don't even notice its complexity until you get to really high level play. Even starting with something so basic as forcing new players to gather time in order to gain more continues to see later parts of the game, just brilliant. Moreover, the sheer amount of content in the game demonstrates how much time he poured into IN, how much he enjoyed the system he had created. Just look at all of the Last Word spells, hell just like count the number of spellcards in the game, the existance of 4A and 4B AND 6A and 6B. It has a huge variety of shot types unparalleled in any other Touhou game, and generally more balanced as well. Even looking at the challenges he created to unlock each of the Last Words shows how much heart he put into thinking about the player experience.

>> No.12324807

>>12324737
>>12324801
I don't think that a new game engine will save Touhou. The issue is, ZUN got married and has a child. He doesn't have the endless hours to dream of characters, stories, gameplay mechanics, and to implement and playtest everything with as much love and care as he did for the early games. Of course, the early games weren't perfect either: malice cannon was clearly unintentional, and EoSD scoring is basically just like glitch abuse to the maximum, but it's clear that these were very much passion projects, with a lot of passion. The newer games lack that sort of passion: sure, they look prettier, they run smoother on the new engine, but it almost feels like he's just making games out of habit, rather than letting his mind get lost in all of the intricacies of each latest project.

I should probably clarify: I don't mean to say that a new 2hu game needs to have a super complex system, or a ton of unlockable content. I'm just using those as indicators of the effort that ZUN put into the game, but when it really comes down to it, that effort shows in the patterns that the game presents you with. It's just, that's way more difficult to discuss with any sort of objectivity, which is why i resorted to proxy measures to make my point

I don't think having Christians in Gensoyko is a good idea according to the Bestiary .

"Devils (悪魔, akuma) are a mighty race that inhabit Gensokyo, mostly in the Makai.

Like magicians or vampires. It was once said that they lived in different parts of our world until mass appearances of Demon Hunters and other Christian Zealots who hunted them to extinction.

Vampires are considered to be a type of devil in Gensokyo. Youkai or Oni might be some kind of devils as well.

In some doujins, Devils are strong enough to take down a Dragon, since they once attempted a invasion on Gensokyo, but the Dragon made the Hakurei Border with the first Shrine Maiden of the Hakurei family (possibly Reimu Hakurei's ancestor) to protect it from them.

nothing. Kancolle will eventually pass.

One can't keep selling the same anime characters over and over, eventually Kancolle will run out of Japanese ships to anthropomorphize and it will start to get old.

Zun can keep inventing new characters for very long time indeed.

The key to the touhou boom hasn't been a sustained burn, it's a periodic burn. By introducing new games over long time periods, it gives people a chance to forget and rediscover the series, without exhausting the series.

That being said, all good things must eventually come to a pass.

Merry believes otherwise, and presents one she found herself. Merry shows Renko a vision of the underground realm where she found it, and Renko recognises the Ame-no-Sakahoko as being there. Merry calms down, no longer believing the place she saw to be Hell but the world of the gods.

Yumemi/Renko built the Probability Hypervessel and went back in time to bring Gensokyo to the present, or used the grand unified theory to make Gensokyo and Maribel Yukari because they are nerds who like fairy tales like ZUN.

There are only so many stories you can write with the same two or three main characters every fucking game. Push Marisa to Mima's role and give her a protege, keep Reimu in her role as a lazy slunt that does doesn't do anything important.

And cater more to a western audience, without pandering to them (we all know how that ends). Maybe pop out a couple of free games with simple stories and junk so people are more inclined to buy his stuff.

You'd think this would be a logical choice, given that they did recently add some German WWII ships, but given that this game was practically built upon nationalistic sentiment spurred by recent events with China, I'd say the introduction of foreign/modern ships would be limited.

Maybe initially, but when the popularity of the game exploded, I'd say that spurred Kadokawa to change the direction that they were taking the game.

If not for the game's popularity, we probably wouldn't even have German ships in the game right now.

Hm, is Kancolle more popular than Touhou?

I played Kancolle for a while, but I eventually stopped despite really liking the characters. The game does very well to make you stay though; marrying your ship waifu then leaving is a horrible feeling.

I don't think Kancolle will be "in" for that long though; it'll be in like Strike Witches generals were in. Too little non-H secondary material to read and too much exposure as good fap material and nothing else. I still visit swg, but there's not much to discuss and it's usually only an image dump.(Though, you could say the same for most 2hu threads?)

Though, 2hu also has unbelievable amounts of fap material... but the non-H material you can read to explore the world is so immense that you can read for hours for years and you'll never get to all of it. And that's just the non translated stuff; if you want to also read 4koma, look at every single picture like some kind of autist, ect.

You literally have near infinite amounts of material online.

But honestly, 2hu won't ever die until Zun passes due to old age. Even then, there will always be a cult following. Some fuckers will probably make an anime/more games/homages as well, if Zun's child sells the copyright licenses.

Touhou has the potential to get a lot bigger than it is now, but that means pandering to everyone. People love fleshed out worlds with unbelievable amounts of material. You can get into the music, the shmups, the porn, the yuri, the fanime, non-H doujins about Gensokyo itself, ect.

Honestly it's rather prevalent; anybody who has watched anime casually and delved into Japanese culture knows about Touhou.

Hell, I got first introduced in... middle school when a random friend told me about "that really difficult/impossible game!".

I remember last year when I visited my cousin's house and inside her room, she drew pictures of every popular 2hu and posted it around her room. (I didn't comment, she's like 13)

hey guys! i know we had a lot of games revolving around religions lately.

so you know what i'll do this time? more religions! more rehashed plots!

i'm out of ideas, and my son/daughter, if they'll even want to work on touhou instead of seeing it as pedo shit, will definitely turn it into a browser/iphone game, because that's what's hip with the kids these days. computers are for old otaku losers after all.

let's drive this thing to the ground and let it die now while it still has some dignity left.

i didn't mean it as my belief, but more of his kid's possible view.

outside of weeaboo/otaku groups touhou is seen as pedo because all characters look like kids, and everyone's biased to believe if it has kids in it, it's pedo bait, either through choice or peer pressure.

He doesn't need to. He said it himself that even if everyone were to lose interest in Touhou, he will continue with Touhou, because he makes them to play the games -he- likes.
Touhou was never about money or fame to him. Isn't that obvious, seeing Touhou was around for almost 2 decades?
