I've always wanted to prove that something useful can come out of the western Touhou fanbase. I'm skilled in Basic, VB, C#, and I know enough C++ to get by. I can compose and synth music pretty well, especially when I'm not charged with writing it from scratch. Not much of an artist or writer, though.

However, every idea I've had and every team I was part of went nowhere. The GM inspired, Dr. Doujin lead VN dissolved faster than an antacid. The SDM platformer was so lame I just stopped caring.

Starting an RPG in ika off some idiot's suggestion was not a good move. So fucking limited, and I don't feel like rewriting the god damn engine. Even worse, every time I try and start a different one, I think of ideas of how to make this one better.

I, quite honestly, suck at trying to create a true to form danmaku game.

I still refuse to let the cause die, though.

tl;dr: Do any of you fags have latent ideas, or is /jp/ really just a dustbowl full of trolls and whining nowadays?

I'm expecting to delete this thread in 5 minutes.

I've always thought that designing a Touhou equivalent of Suikoden (the first game) would be really neat.
Maybe have the Hakurei border breaking and you have to recruit Touhous (and their servant youkai to bolster your army) to defeat some other massive army.

Making danmaku game engine would take about 1 month in XNA for one person. Only thing that would be bad would be graphics(art) and bullet patterns. But if you make the engine good (separate actual engine and bullet code) and it would be pretty easy for everyone to make their own bullet patterns. Thus removing need for lot of coordination.

I'm a programmer of debatable skill. I'm completely out of work and don't feel like doing anything but being lazy. I can draw and write (text book dry documents), but I can't sequence music worth a shit.

Every time I think about doing something like this, I remember that I'm out of work and fucking bored as hell, and when I'm like that I just cruise /jp/. I get the feeling a lot of people here are like that, so you're not going to get a very positive response, OP.

Heeding that survival instinct you've honed over the many years of grazing danmaku, you swiftly turn to the shrine, but, to your surprise, there doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary about the barren shrine. Just as you're about to dismiss that feeling in your gut as a result of poor digestion, you see something red and white above you, hovering just at the edge of your vision.

It'll depend on your storyline. Here's my input:
The Undefeated of The East

>> No.1755367

Suikoden:
Magicians Team: Alice, Marisa, Patchouli
Mischief Makers Team: Tewi, Cirno, Chen
Cheerful Trio: Suika, Yuugi, Rin
Stalwart Servants: Youmu, China, Ran
Mistresses of Madness: Yuka, Yuyuko, Yukari
Send Aya in to spy on the enemy movements, have the Prismrivers in your castle to change your BGM etc, have a garden grow in your castle if you recruit Yuka.
Touhou would make a good setting for a Suikoden game.

As you raise your head, you see that a young dark-haired, dark-eyed woman dressed in a red and white miko outfit that leaves her armpits bare is floating in the air above you. Her hair and clothes are swaying in the slight summer breeze. There's a matching ribbon in her hair, and she carries a gohei in her right hand. As a sudden gust of wind blows by, her dress is blown up, and you are rewarded with a glance at her panties. Almost instantly, her curious expression switches to outright hostility.

But seriously, a Touhou Suikoden. We'd need 100 something Touhous (divisible by 3), 3 spellcard items for each, a team to put them in, make about 1/3rd of them combat capable, give the others roles in the castle and make them all do a few things to the castle/army on recruitment. Then stick in a semi-generic RPG and army system and it would be awesome.

>weeaboo newfag underage B&

The problem is that the western fanbase is generally full of fail, touhou related or not. Generally most of the actual talent is already part of a team on a project, or the western mindset of getting paid for the shit they are doing kicks in and the talent dries up.

That and the fact that most of the time only about 10% of the people that want to contribute actually fucking do something more than treat the discussion area as more than a god damn chat room.
