Touhou is NOT popular. ZUN has been releasing 1 to 2 games per year yet he still has to work at other jobs in order to support himself. Programmers and artist in Japan get payed chips and peanuts for their work. How pathetic.

Reading comprehension error? I'll forgive you under the rare circumstance that you read that comment out of context. I'll reiterate in a durr language (that even) YOU can understand. ZUN, in one way or another, said that the people who make 'original' games are self-centered because they don't care about the gamers. ZUN's argument was that since doujin games parody existing games, they're easier on the end user. But later in his interview he went on to say "I'll continue making whatever games I feel like as long as I'm happy with them." In other words, "fuck you consumers."

Right, but that's totally consistant:
Zun said that ones who make original games are selfish.
>When you do original games it's more that you want to create everything from the base of your own vision, without taking the vision of the gamer into consideration.
You implied this said that the consumer was always right, but how on earth does it say that?

And at the end says that he will continue the same selfish thing.
>>I'm going to keep making games that stand out. If so all my fans disappear I'm still happy if I can keep doing the games *I want.

This is totally consistant. When was talking about how doujin games were about the consumer, he says SECONDARY games, not original games. He wasn't talking about touhou as a doujin game.

TL;DR Zun doesn't contradict himself at all. If you're mad that he's saying "fuck you consumers" than that's fine, although that's pretty far from what he's saying.

Can you not read? In the interview ZUN clearly said he still works at (bankrupted?) game studios that the modern world forgot about. If Touhou was half as popular as you think it is, Double Spoilers alone would have been enough to support him for a lifetime. Just face it, Touhou is not popular outside of the doujin market. Touhou's simplistic design makes it easy to parody. Games with complex genres such as Zelda and Metroid could never be as popular as primitive games such as Touhou at Comiket because they're much harder to produce.

Aside from its difficulty, Zelda is the textbook definition of a non-casual game. Zelda was the game that introduced the gaming industry to the action/adventure/puzzle genre. Before Zelda, games were all about beating your fathers highscore. Zelda was one of the first games that forced the player to find the next objective. Unlike most games at the time that only wanted you to defeat the level 4 boss! Zelda asked gamers to think/explore. In regards to its gameplay, Touhou is a post pre-Zelda game that didn't follow the paradigm shift that started with the advent of Shiggy.

>>5442130
Alright, now you're just being stupid. Metroid Prime was a FPS, platformer, RPG, action/adventure, and puzzle game. That's more genres than all of Touhou's derivative works combined. Metroid is a blend of genres. 1bit genres like Touhou are outdated. The STG and platformer genres are simple genres, hence the reason why they're dying.

I promise not to "educate" you Touhou fans again if the following conditions are met:

1.You acknowledge the fact that ZUN is not the person who created your love for the Touhou universe. It was the (doujin) community who nourished the Touhou universe into a decent (I repeat - decent) franchise.
2.You acknowledge the fact that ZUN's only talent is being a failure at life. I've read stories of ZUN struggling to afford beer. Plus he doesn't have a girlfriend/spouse to boot. The guy is a loser. You're a loser. This whole damn site is filled with losers.
3.You come to the conclusion that you're never going to get laid if you continue this weeaboo lifestyle of staying up to 4:00AM in the morning saving pictures of your favoowite Touhou characters. Just remember that you are a reject (of rejects). Touhou is so weeaboo that not even the nerds of /a/ and /v/ liked it. Stop fapping to 2D images of little girls raping each other with cocks.

Don't give into peer pressure and play Touhou.

1. Touhou doesn't have a plot. And no I'm not saying it's godawful. I'm simply saying it doesn't have a plot. The character plots that /jp/ers fell in love with were created *by the fans. 90% of the time in Touhou the characters rarely talk, and even when they do talk it's only a few lines.
2. Touhou's gameplay gets old really fast. Touhou's gameplay consist of scrolling through easy levels with lame music in the background till you meet a semi challenging boss. Rinse & repeat, and that's Touhou in a nutshell. The only good Touhou is Shoot the Bullet (a.k.a the Touhou without the filler).
3. The backgrounds and sprites are laughably bad. A preteen with 7 months worth of training could draw better than ZUN.
4.The music (which I'll admit isn't as bad as the rest of the shit) gets repetitive after a while. The only reason /jp/ers like Touhou's music is because of the doujin remixes.

In summary, Touhou is a mediocre shoot em up. Play a real game like Zelda, Metroid, or Metal Gear.

>> No.5442632

>>5442124

>Double Spoilers alone would have been enough to support him for a lifetime

Except the game COSTS ACTUAL MONEY TO MAKE. Touhou is popular, but just because something is popular doesn't mean it actually makes money. EVERYTHING having to do with the product pretty much comes out of his own pocket. The CDs the games come on, the cases for the CD's, the little booklets with the artwork...not to mention the actual cost of shipping the product to retailers after conventions are done and their cut of the profit. He also sees nothing from the secondary merchandise made using his IP. He gets nothing from sales of merchandise related to the characters and games; it's all from the actual games. Most independents in this industry make little money...hell, I doubt 07th Expansion's paychecks aren't that great, despite creating a huge multimedia franchise.

Name a top-down shooter that does. By those standards, Touhou plots are fucking novels. The fact that there's a plot to begin with as well as established canonical personalities means that at least some work goes into creating the characters as opposed to you being "random fighter pilot saving the world from aliens for no reason."

>easy levels...semi-challenging boss

It's only easy after you spend a large amount of time memorizing patterns and knowing where gaps in defense lie. That's almost impossible for some. I find it easier to just run the fuck away from shooting things and not have to worry about the fact that my safe spot is going to be overrun within seconds by a pattern loop.

Honestly, I got in here late when the thread derailed and talked about how Touhou is a shit game for people with shit tastes. My argument against that is people can't respect others' opinions and will try to prove that agreeing with them is for the best interest for everyone in the world. Self-centered fuckwads who think that they should be right no matter the cost.

The original thread started out with a nice topic that I would have been interested in, involving an Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon-like Touhou game. On that...I've never played Harvest Moon, but I loved Animal Crossing (original). It would be interesting to have that take place within the Touhou universe, and someone probably is at work making a gaiden game. A "Ghosts 'n' Goblins" gaiden game featuring Momiji as the main character has been made, as well as something akin to Earthbound or some other RPG with Sanae as the main character.

Hideo Kojima worked for Konami as an executive vice president and left to form his own company, taking Metal Gear and about 200 people with him. He'll make money if he puts out an absolute steaming pile of shit for their next game.

ZUN is one man who makes shooting games that he himself enjoys playing as a hobby. He doesn't plan on making a living out of it any time soon; no doujin or independent does.

Doujin and independent products exist solely for the fans, and the actual staff working on projects can actually lose money working on it. It follows the principle of why writers and teachers in the real world make a pittance while scientists and mathematicians make piles of cash. He's simply not doing it for money. Kojima is. You really can't compare a high-profile production company to a single developer who only creates games because he likes doing it.

It's not an opinion, ZUN's art is just bad. I could trace better drawings in my youth.

You only started to like them after hearing the remixes. Also, is it just me or do all of the Touhou games prior to Moutain of Faith make my ears bleed after a given amount of time. Then again, I do have something called standards. That might make a difference....

>Have. Too easy. The only things worthwhile in that game are the 50 level
Zelda was never about the difficulty you tool. Zelda is about its adventure/story/gameplay. Zelda is the type of game that makes you 'forget' you're playing a game. By the way, don't you have a highscore you need to beat right now, you casual gamer/jock.

The games now let you have infinite continues if you happen to use up all your lives on one level. There's also practice mode. Those are good enough save points for a top-down shooter.

>you only started to like them after hearing the remixes.

Not true. Before even picking up any of the games, I had heard...less than 5? remixes of songs from the games. Then I played IN and PCB, found and downloaded the OST's. After that did I try to find any remix, but I mostly went for jazzy stuff because I like jazz to begin with...and none of the remixes I had heard prior to playing the games was a jazz track.

By the way, Nintendo is one of my favorite companies and I love the Zelda and Metroid franchises. I'm not saying they're bad, I'm saying they're easy. As far as a challenge goes, getting to the end of the game and beating Ganon/whatever final boss Metroid has cooked up is ridiculously easy. It would have been nice if there was an actual challenge to the game once in a while instead of "use the item you just got on this boss to exploit its weakness!" One of the reasons why I think the Zant fight in TP is one of the greatest fights is because it throws everything at you, not just one tired tactic.

As far as Metal Gear...no. From what I've seen, I would spend more time WATCHING the game than actually playing. It might have been better in the first and second games, but from what I know of the 4th it's that there are more cutscenes than actual gameplay.

Hideo Kojima pioneered the stealth genre and created a plot that's second to none in the entire video game industry.

It wouldn't surprise me if he borrowed the source code from some of his peers. Samidare, to name a few. This is not to say making danmaku games is hard. I used to make those games in grade school.

>He's simply not doing it for money.
He couldn't get money even if he wanted to. The creator of Duke Nukem didn't start off with a giant dev team, yet he went on to become a millionaire. Why is ZUN still living in poverty?

3. Don't EVER say something along the lines of "I owned your nerd asses." If you feel the need to say so, odds are, you most certainly have not, and in typing that, you just KILLED you're arguement/trolling attempt.
4. Don't attack spelling and/or grammar. You were good on this, power to you. This fits into the second point made in 1. FOCUS.

I'll say this, you're lucky you can post with the safety of anonymity. I've sent several high profile tripfriends to their graves. Hint: there's a reason why White Ren and Suigin keep changing their trips.

I'll find out a way to get you though. I always do, and I always win. Don't be surprised if you find yourself taking refuge in some shitty/remote IRC channel like #bun in the near future. Now begone; you bore me.

Seriously, nobody could possibly fall for this.
Either resume the decent trolling or get the fuck out.

I don't give a damn. ZUN's games are fun, I like the music, and I gobble up all the doujin works.

Gensokyo, I love all of it. One day, I will reincarnate there.

>> No.5446732

Also, I really hate responding to a troll, but for a doujin game making the equivalent of $100,000 from a limited run of a single game is pretty damn good.

Its really not fair to compare a doujin game with a big blockbuster title, because the bigger title:

A) Has several million dollars and hundreds of people working on it.

B) Has millions of dollars put into marketing it just so people will buy the shitty game.

and C) Costs around $60, for what is usually a hit or miss experience that may or may not meet your expectations. Hell, most people don't even compete the games they buy, let alone get replay value out of them.

When you buy Touhou, you get what you pay for: Touhou. And you pay a fair price for it.

And as for how I personally got into the series, well, you would be completely and utterly wrong. I was browsing random sites trying out various doujin games because I happen to like the arcadey gameplay they tend to have. Then I come across a demo for PCB, and loved it, but could never actually figure out what series it was a part of, or where to find more. Fast forward a few years, and I find a demo for MoF, this time being able to figure out what series it was a part of. Haven't stopped playing the series since then.

So yes, the fan stuff is nice, but it is nothing but a happy bonus for me to tide me over between games.

Zun has gotten offers on the series before. He has turned them down for the most part, barring a few outings, such as SSiB. Part of the reason there has not been an anime yet, despite there being a demand for it.

Also, it is actually pretty hard to flourish as an independent developer in the west. Especially if you aren't making FPS or puzzle games. Top down shooter is sadly not a popular genre these days. Something I hope Touhou's growing popularity will help fix. There are a lot of good shooter series out there, afterall.

>>5446787

Of course back then, the demos I was looking at were all in moon. The demo I found wasn't even on Zun's site, making it even more horribly confusing.

So I didn't even have the advantage of looking up "Touhou".

But touhou is in a genre that you rarely see western games in, which might draw interest.

Its not like there aren't attempts at introducing shooters to the western market. They just don't usually fare very well. Which is saddening. Hopefully this will change someday.
