There likely will be, since the black market, which is the main thing of the game, seems to be controlled by someone else other than Thankyou.
Unless ZUN does a 180 and makes the villain an existing character.

Talking about the Yuzuha controversy. They explain it's origin, why it's a controversy (that people are free to use Touhou characters), etc.
They also do the classic Japanese thing and ask random passerbys if they know what Yukkuri is, and they know em, although that part's not exactly surprising.
Lots of Touhou in a more "mainstream" look this year, the Yuzuha controversy was definitely the biggest one. I believe it was this year as well where a bus company plastered Touhou in their buses with their AR apps.

Hi, this is ZUN. Comic Market will be held on August 13th and 14th. Congratulations on your 100th Comic Market! I'm looking forward to it!
Well, in commemoration of the 100th Comic Market, we will be releasing a new work as well. Here is the new release!
Touhou Project Vol. 18.5
Bullet Filia's Black Market - 100th Black Market.
The story will be after the Rainbow Dragon Cave.
The god of the market said.
The market will return to normalcy.
But, contrary to God's wishes, for some reason, the cards are only increasing in value.
Is someone manipulating the value?
Or is it because some collectors are buying them up?
Just when the card market was in turmoil.
A market where God cannot intervene - the black market has opened.
This time, Marisa Kirisame goes out alone to investigate (and collect). It is a surprisingly rare game in which Marisa is the main character.
Unlike "Niji Ryu-Do," this game is a game in which you collect new cards and repeatedly challenge stages while conquering stages that develop at high speed and at random. Each play is short, and you play repeatedly to solve the anomalies ...... or rather to collect cards. It's something you can play regardless of the storyline!
I've included some snapshots of the game.
*The game screen is still under development, so I hope it will change.
It will be released on August 14.
It will be distributed at Comiket 100, SHANGHAI ALICE GENZA. Let's celebrate the 100th Comiket together!
Of course, we will also be selling it as a downloadable version on Steam and other platforms.

That's how Steam's basic DRM works, first there's a .dll file somewhere in the game's folder and then there's a piece of code in the game's executable that checks if Steam is running, and if it isn't then it opens Steam instead of the game. Both of which are easily circumvented by piracy.

characters changing eye color is nothing new. since eye's are the main focal point of a face it was likely done just to make the overall image more appealing and give her a new look. there is no plot significance. so far ive heard tinfoil about
>its mima
>its nue
>its someone pretending to be marisa
>her hair color changed just like in PCB yeah sure but its definitely not marisa
>its the unnamed manga character that turned into marisa at a party
>marisa is a full blown youkai now!! just like i theorized!!
there is no significance to the red eyes. its just design. if there was i guess that means sakuya is a different character every time her eyes change color too kek.

Except Marisa's eyes have always been consistently yellow, hell even in PC-98 while Reimu's whole colors changed. That's a detail ZUN has never gotten wrong or purposefully changed before. Marisa is also more important than what could have been a one off character in EoSD since Sakuya straight up dies in Reimu's route.
This is like if Reimu got blue eyes in a sequel, she's too big of a character for a detail like that to not matter. And I know Reimu's eye color has changed before but it's always been some shade of brown (that includes red) outside of PC98 obv.

There's a mod that makes it so instead of pressing shift twice to teleport, you just press C once. I don't know what ZUN was thinking when he did this. Just rename the exe to th165 and you're good. Alternatively, if you have thcrap, you can download it there too.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Reimu does indeed have 6 fingers and her thumb is hidden behind the gohei in that pic. What difference would that make? Is this a hidden clue presented by ZUN that helps us unravel the mystery of Marisa's eyes? Is this some vast conspiracy that helps us understand more about Gensokyo? I don't think so. It's most likely a drawing mistake by ZUN.

ZUN doesn't get money from the fangames directly but I'm sure the fact that fangames raise popularity for Touhou has encouraged players to buy his own games from Steam. You can look through the guidelines for making derivative work off Touhou and see how ZUN expects to achieve this.

Your fan content should never have:
* Anything that means to harm Touhou Project's reputation.
* Anything that means to advertise personal beliefs beyond the bounds of fiction.
* Anything that promotes hatred against individuals or groups.

ZUN knows that anything vulgar would surely decrease popularity of Touhou as a whole.

Question about ZUN. How much of Touhou did he code by himself? He used to be a member of the Amusement Maker group and members from this group went on to release games such as Shuusou Gyoku and Samidare which have identical functionality to Touhou.

Did they create the engine and collectively share it? Or did each member somehow manage to independently create their own engine? That would be an extremely talented university group if the latter.

ZUN created most of the code in the pc98 era, stole a bunch of it from some other sources too.
Seihou made their own game engine from scratch and windows touhou uses that with updates ZUN made throughout the years.
figtan games aren't coded by ZUN at all, he only makes the music for them.

Amusement Makers was a university group. As a CS major, college students typically do not have the ability to create a gaming engine from scratch. So the fact that multiple games have spun off from that group means they must have stolen each other's code. I'm assuming ZUN coded most of it, and the other guys borrowed his code to make their own engine. Because I can't imagine multiple college students being able to create their own engine. That's impossible. Especially back in the day before Google and stackoverflow existed.

I find this hard to believe due to how similar their games are to Touhou. If you've worked at a company and you see your coworker's code on a daily basis, it's very easy to plagiarize it. Maybe they helped ZUN writer the original Touhou code, but I can't imagine them all making the code separately.

I don't think you guys know just how rare it was for something to create their own engine back then (and even doing that now is still rare). They'd have to be the most talented university group of all time for that to be true. My class mates on year 3 still can't write a tic-tac-toe game.

Not difficult and indie game from scratch should never be placed in the same sentence. Coding any 2D game is not hard, it's the time that goes into it which makes it difficult. Making and timing sprite animation alone takes weeks. Anyone who thinks this is easy has never attempted to make a game.

ZUN's was 20 years old when he released his first shmup game, which is a huge accomplishment. Most kids are learning how to write "hello, world" in Java at that age. It's not on par with John Carmack pioneering the FPS genre, but it's nothing to sneeze at either.

If it's true that ZUN used some of his code for EoSD this is the closest thing we get to seeing Touhou's source code. Unrelated but it's so weird seeing Japanese people's code. They are forced to use our English keywords. I wonder what life would be like if we had to use Japanese for keywords.

He started thcrap despite hating Touhou and its fanbase. He's been VERY slowly pulling a Super Mario 64 with the PC98 games.

I think you're misunderstanding something fundamental. A word like "WHILE" only means something as far as the compiler and corresponding language syntax define it. A compiler could easily allow you to write "東方" to define a while loop, as long as the compiler then converted that into the appropriate assembly instructions. The same can be true for standard library functions: They could be given a Japanese name that results in the same code being used as the English name.

Now, does something like this actually exist? I would bet it does, but I've never seen code written purely in Japanese either. Probably because it's easier for JP programmers to connect a few English words to programming concepts than to use a hypothetical language model that isn't used in a global context. And really, it's not like you need to know what something like "malloc" means as long as you know what it does. The "alloc" part is only a little hint.

>please explain how gpl is definitely the doijin spirit anon
You need to fuck off back to /g/, but I'll explain why. Permissive use license are fine until you run into a greedy corporation that uses free and open source code but then refuse to share their own code. Or in worse cases, they take open source code then make it closed source and add data mining to sell your data to advertisers.

My issue with ZUN is that he can get arbitrary with his rules. He shut down the Touhou Smash guy's crowd fund campaign yet allowed a Chinese company to do crowd funding. I guess he wanted to expand the fandom in China which has 2 billion people. I agree with him that Touhou doujin market should not be a pay to win situation where the guy with the most money dominates it. All established companies should be banned from using his IP which I think is already the situation.

>ZUN has been shown to downright steal an engine to use in his PC-98 games, edit sprites from other games, trace drawings, remix music from other sources into his own music, etc.
It is kind of hypocritical that he has sampled code yet doesn't actually allow people to use his code. Also, I don't think he lets you use his sprites or music as well without editing them.

Take away the greedy corporation and data mining claims that hold no water and there's nothing wrong with using FOSS in your closed source software. Seihou having an MIT license lets other shmup developers use it in a game they can sell, which the dev is obviously ok with or he would've used something that forces all software it's used in to be FOSS.
Coders that use permissive license don't care about their code being used in closed source projects, it's not important enough for them to "protect" it by limiting who can use it and for what.
Also if you can't understand why ZUN and 99% of all other video game devs won't just release their code under gpl or let you use assets ripped from their games then you're pretty stupid. The only thing ZUN done wrong with his code theft was obscuring that he did it and not crediting it, because both things he took from were permissive use (one was literally a "how to code" book designed for you to take things from it for learning purposes)

If you use open source then don't share the wealth by giving back to the community then it's selfish.

>99% of all other video game devs won't just release their code under gpl or let you use assets ripped from their games then you're pretty stupid.
I don't hate on closed source because I understand people have to look out for their financial interest. Games take years and you need to recoup your investment, but call it what it is. Don't try to whitewash this selfish behavior as doujin spirit. It is easier to sale your game if it's closed source. It's all about the money. You want it both ways, you want to be selfish and try to claim you are doing things that are good for the open source community.

No silhouette for the first time since PC-98.
Considering Marisa's sprite from UM is being reused and ZUN said the title screen has some meaning, the game probably has some surprise.

there's seihou code in windows touhou but ZUN didn't take it from a 2019 repo, retard.
they gave him it long before it was open source. all the references to ZUN stealing code are referring to a driver he used for pc98 touhou without permission.

Have people really forgotten that the Touhou Smash guy was a dumbfuck who spoke to ZUN using shitty google translate, tried to scam people out of their money and doxed others, while also responding poorly to criticism and spaghetti-coded his game akin to YandereDev?
