What's the farming part of the game from 35:00? Is it a minigame, separate game mode? Loli wheat farming simulator sounds like everything I've ever wanted.

1:09:10 looks an awful lot like Starlight Stage.

Man, I don't know if I was just uninformed in the past and walked blind on every Comiket, but why does it feel like there's only two or three games worth playing since more or less C80/C81?

Pretty much everything feels like a prototype made in a week. I'm also missing some neat concepts and silly games.

They're just amateur games made by 1 to a handful of people at best, over a few months of spare time. Finished feeling games are rare.

Oh and by the way, do you or anyone else have a clear save of GSW Kou or up? I don't really care about the chose MC or the difficulty as long as it's not easy.

I'm trying to replay Kou but the game keeps freezing here and there and now that I'm at the end of Scarlets, the game absolutely won't make me progress.

I hope Black Bastard puts the new Ghost9Solid demo on their blog like last time. I wonder if they kept the flight gear from the previous demo. It was pretty cool, but it was noise it made was annoying as fuck (I actually turned the volume off while using it).

While I like the new bosses in the demo, I kind of want to see Hekatoncheir completed before Ghost9Solid.

Seems like you don't control the falling objects at all, just the cursor with the mouse. The author says pad controls is a disaster for this game.

I guess you can break items to create longer chains of the same color or something? There seems to be a lot of character related skills too.

[Anonymous No.]

It's not like these game are going to be uploaded anymore. Heck did anyone upload at least one last Comiket doujin game?

Doujin games are difficult to obtain and archive now. Comiket is the only channel you can buy a lot of them from. People lost interest because they're not very polished I suppose...

In a few years these things will be as hard to get as mid 90s doujin games, a lot of these are lost forever.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15670265
I really don't understand it.
It's trivial to maintain and distribute software (products) in a decentralised manner.
Why don't they just dump the source code on e.g. GitHub a few years later, it's not like they're in the position to make money from it again?
Is it really only vanity?

Last year there were tons of games.

Several games were uploaded, but I didn't really play any of them except Shoot Shoot Nitori gold. Well, I played the indie-looking game a few posts from the bottom of http://www.doujinstyle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15080 too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15671988
Oh sweet, thanks. I looked through the Doujinstyle forum and didn't find anything.
Hopefully just as many are uploaded this year, there are 5-6 games I definitely want to get my hands on.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15671980
Doujin games are made in the doujin spirit, not to reach the largest audience. Except for sellouts who move into big time or release their games on steam 5 years later.

>>15671944
>>15671980
There's also places like DL site you can buy some from.

Besides that, if you really care about doujin games in general, there are more than enough on sites like http://www.freem.ne.jp/

See, this elitism is so silly.
I don't think it's deplorable if someone wants a larger audience to enjoy his work. I can understand wanting to be in direct contact with the fans, though. There should be something like bandcamp/soundcloud, but for doujin(shi).

[Anonymous No.]

>>15657283
Thanks OP, nice thread.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15672063
It's not really elitism. It's just
Doujin game: I like (work) > I want to make a game about it > I want to share it with fans of (work) at the otaku convention. OR I want to make a game > I want to share it with others at the otaku convention.

As opposed to: My games are really popular I bet I could make lots of money from this.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to become professional game makers, but it's different from wanting to make doujin games and comes with all the baggage that quasi-legal games don't have to worry about. If ZUN made Touhou into a professional series years ago for instance, Touhou fan games would be beyond gone.

People who do things for themselves than for the community don't really produce anything that propagates the community.

Besides that, there's other things like people not wanting their game about naked lolis who fight zombies or whatever becoming widespread known and then investigated by busybodies from overseas.

...Although going on that, I know ero games get released at comiket, but they're kind of hard to find online. The obviously aren't in those collection videos but how do you find out about them to go buy them? Are they in the catalog itself? Are they grouped in some specific area?

[Anonymous No.]

>>15672189
No, this is not what I meant.
I don't think this is a binary issue. You can enjoy sharing your vision of a certain franchise with others while at the same time making money.
By releasing it to a (geographically) confined audience, and there only, it becomes very hard for others outside its confines to partake in that vision.

I understand that this is a cultural issue. I'd never consider setting up participation barriers for others if I could help it, creative work is a means of communications, and I enjoy talking with others about the things I love!

>If ZUN made Touhou into a professional series years ago for instance, Touhou fan games would be beyond gone.
How so, is commercial licensing in Japan more restrictive than it is in the West?

[Anonymous No.]

>>15672347
>How so
For the same reason you don't see Kancolle fangames, Mario fan games, Sonic fangames, iM@S fan games, and the like.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15672347
ZUN could probably make touhou into a commercial series while still keeping the doujin license exception as it exists now, but he's by far an exception.

Most Japanese rights holders are copyright absolutists. The most obvious example in recent years is how kancolle doujin games are forbidden because DMM thinks it would take away from their releases.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15672347
>You can enjoy sharing your vision of a certain franchise with others while at the same time making money.
I wasn't going to respond to this, but you know if you reach too far using characters from some other IP, you'll get into trouble right? I mean it's the same thing I said in >>15672554, but yeah.

Doujin works that aren't original creations have to stay in the shadows so to speak. Touhou, being a doujin series to begin with, provides a lot of leniency you wouldn't get from someone with a publisher that has lawyers that love to shut potential copyright violators down.

It's fine if you want your indie game to reach a large audience, but that's not how doujin works, and probably is the reason it doesn't exist in the west: People wouldn't be able to keep it a nerd thing. They'd blow it up and get conventions raided for copyright violations and making games about illicit subject matter.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15672554
Some companies ban fangames. Others don't. Type Moon isn't a doujin company anymore, but people still make F/SN fangames, because the company is okay with it. What "most Japanese rights holders" do doesn't matter because most Japanese rights holders aren't ZUN.

If ZUN signed away the rights to the series he might have a problem but he wouldn't do that in any case.

I was merely asking out of interest, and didn't want to impose on how ZUN should handle his franchise.
Excuse me for being blunt and ignorant about this. But it looks to me like these circles deliberately exclude foreigners due to timorous protectionism.

[Anonymous No.]

Well foreigners only want their games so they can upload them to be pirated and not make them money, and do lets plays so people don't actually play the game, and do bad translations of them so people can make memes about meme translations, and censor/complain about any little thing that doesn't fit their worldview.

It's not even xenophobia, it's the same idea about video games and nerd culture going mainstream: It ruins it due to people outside the target audience getting ahold of it and trying to affect it. VNs are lucky this will never happen no matter how much of a fad it becomes to release them in the west.

The reason because Classic is the most simple to deal with and thus easiest to copy. Or try to copy in Capricorn's case.

Bringing in dash and wall kick mechanics requires a higher skill of level design to justify their presence. And most clones can't do that.

>Touhou Genso Wanderer is releasing in early 2017 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
I'd buy the games without a doubt if they would just localize them for PC. The games were on PC to begin with either way so I am kind of frustrated they're just being localized on the PS4 and the PSV.
The whole thing about having to pay for PS+ in order for any kind of online play really killed absolutely all my interest outright in ever getting a PS4. The PSV is alright though I guess, but the memory cards are overpriced as fuck, and I'd need the Vita TV thing to play on my HD monitor either way, and they even discontinued the sales of those.

Sony used to be so great. What the fuck happened? Though I mostly wonder why the games aren't being localized for PC.
Does NISA have some kind of exclusive deal with Sony disallowing other platforms or something? I hope it's eventually ported PC later down the line at the very least.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15683900
Even if it wasn't for Sony's nonsense, you would still have to deal with the fact that it's a NISA localization.

You can't except anything more than machine translations and gamebreaking/consolefrying bugs.

I'm actually looking forward to the Play, Doujin! ports. It's the first time ZUN actually takes meaningful steps to recognize Touhou fans on this side of the globe.
To NISA's localisations, not so much. I'm left with a sliver of hope since they usually just mess up in-house (Nippon Ichi) titles.

The are lots of interesting games this year. Even the STG don't look as generic as usual. I'm sort of interested in the STG desunoya made. I like the cambrian one's theme a lot. I want to play that one with the farming ninja guy, and there's a few others I'd like to try out.

Interestingly, none of the Touhou ones interest me. I wonder why those two 3D model girls are so popular. Are they just that cute, or just easily accessible?

I only found out about its existence (and a possibility of Molotov cocktails (like Yoriyama used) being a weapon in the final game) while mucking around with the save data. Basically it gives you infinite flight capability, a considerable speed boost, and the sound it makes is rather loud. I'll make a webm of it when I get a chance.

Since it's only a demo we won't know if it will be in the final game or not.

Yeah that looks like it's just for debugging purposes but you never know with these games

The second trial was pretty neat besides the hunger system, had surprisingly many new areas and story events, and based on the trailer this third one looks quite extensive too, it even has Kano joining you?
Now if only someone were to upload it, because it doesn't exactly seem like wahiko's gonna do it himself

the burning mission, there's a reason why there are bottles and paper scraps everywhere. No wonder wahiko apparently included a savefile past that point with the new trial

When is the following years comiket dates typically announced, I want to book my stuff for C92 before 2017 if possible. The pattern that I found seems like it will probably be announced near or soon after C91, is that close? I've never paid that much attention to dates as I never seriously planned to go until this year.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15716557
C91 date isn't announced yet, but Winter Comiket is always around the very end of December.
C92 is Summer Comiket, it always starts mid-August, so C91 would probably be around December 28-30, C92 would probably be around August 13-15 (give or take a few days for both).

[Anonymous No.]

>>15716688
Actually I was wrong, C91 date is announced, it's December 29-30. So C92 confirmed date will be announced around then, but like I said, Summer Comiket is always mid-August, so if you book around that with a few days to spare you should be fine.

Yeah I knew C91 was, it's on their site and looking at past sites I assumed the following summer event would be set in stone around the date of the winter comiket.

I'm really asking those who have done mutiple comikets as they should know the trend when the dates are announced. And there's no way I'm going to wing it, I live on the east coast it'll cost me ~$1300 just to fly shitty coach. I've seen the summer comiket happen on the 2nd Friday and the 3rd without any discernible favor to either, and there's no way I'm going to stay an extra 4 days just to cover both in 2017, on top of the added hotel and per diem cost I'd have to get another JP pass which is ~$400 alone. I also have a European trip planned for the summer so my budget doesn't have that kind of wiggle room.

I hope this is the right place to post this, as I didn't want to shit up the board with my own thread.

When one downloads a game from nyaa or Mikokon, how do you go about installing/playing it, if it's one of those ones with a .iso?

I assume that you just install a virtual CD drive program and mount it with that and it should be fine, but is there anything in particular I need to take care of such as locale? Is there any particular virtual CD software you'd recommend? (I use Win 7)

For example, something like this http://bbs.mikocon.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=19524

I use daemon tools, but I think I have an old version when their free version was competent by its own or something, either way anything you can find should be good, at worst if you have a spare CD just burn and run it. I switched to Japanese locale since forever since there were no downsides about that for me so I don't know if that influences installation, I think some games do and some don't, if anything goes wrong you should change locale first I guess.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15729190
I recommend WinCDEmu. It's lightweight and probably not malware.
http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/

As far as I remember, for some reason, Windows only supports different locales as fallback option, and only one of them.
In "System Controls"(?), under "Region and Language"(??), there is an option under the rightmost(???) tab where you can change behaviour for non-Unicode programs. Switch that to Japanese.

I only use PowerISO instead of daemon tools or anything like that. I got PowerISO to have something to make and burn ISOs and other disc files, and then I noticed it could mount them too so I've only used it since.

Does anyone remember what that dark and edgy looking game that was previewed the last couple comikets was called? The one with three or so girls in some 3D action game. It had "good graphics" and I think they were showcasing a bunch of giant bosses.

You probably forgot to uncheck some checkbox during installation. While I generally agree that software that bundles crap should be avoided, every user should be prepared to be very careful when installing stuff in this time and age.

I made sure that I unchecked everything, but open candy was still stealth installed for me. Found out about it when malwarebytes informed me during a scan. WinCDEmu is superior and more lightweight anyway.

PC gaming is really niche in Japan still, steam isn't really a thing except for the tiny niche of people interested in western games.

Comiket as a mean of distribution for software is just somewhat obsolete when digital distribution is way easier; there are even platforms for selling doujin stuff directly like dlsite etc.

So is Share and all those p2p programs dead?

[Anonymous No.]

>>15771191
Winny and share are both compromised and unsafe iirc, don't run those outside of a VM. The programs are effectively abandoned as both their authors have been arrested but the networks haven't gone down entirely.

Perfect dark is still chugging along, even though its anonymity feature (a kind of onion routing) got cracked by the police a while back. They regularly make a few rounds of uploader arrests based on that.

Some claim only the messaging functions have been de-anonymized but some of the arrests don't seem to support that so who knows. Combined with PD being closed source it makes its security quite suspect, so run that in a VM as well.

PD's author is still around and only distributes updates via darknet, but there have been no significant improvements in years. The PD network is still the best place to find anime raws and such afaik.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15771616
>even though its anonymity feature (a kind of onion routing) got cracked by the police a while back
I thought it was only broken if the uploader used the "force upload" feature, which bypasses the anonymizing features.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15771655
I don't really know for sure, iirc there was conflicting info on that at the time and it never got cleared up.

For PD you're required to maintain (at least) 40gb of "Unity", which yeah, is basically other uploaded files encrypted.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15781081
The idea is that you cannot know what those files are, which would protect you in case of litigation, at least in theory. In practice it depends of the jurisdiction (a similar defense for tor exit nodes has failed in Austria for example). Other darknets like freenet work in a similar way.
