A repeated natural disaster -- resist -- fear of the natural disaster which is not, and they brought the pessimistic view of life to man's village.

Heavy air is whirling in the village.
However, it is not feeling of despair.
Whatever it might carry out, man's future was a thing near the cooped-up feeling of not changing.

" -- it's OK! "

I feel that who emitted or such voice can be heard.
that is right -- if nothing changes, anything may not you do?
that is right -- what is necessary is just to live more momentarily
Gradually, the heart of the human being of a village was released and order was confused simultaneously with it.
There were those who look at the situation from another viewpoint.
They are religionists.
The religionist thought that he would hold the disordered human nature.
It is because it is a good opportunity to collect one's faith at the same time it regains order.
throwing away into 幻想郷 the priest and world which built the temple -- eternal youth -- the Taoist who aims at non-death, and the shrine maiden who aims at rehabilitation.

Sure they're more realistically proportioned but they look really generic. The old sprites might have been a bit chibi but came together really well.

These new ones look like generic anime artwork that's been downsampled and cleaned. The old ones actually looked like pixel art.

I guess I can't really judge until actually seeing it in motion though. If it's animated well it could very well look better than before. They'll need to put in some hard yards to pull that off though.

Rough summary.

Humans are getting bored with their repeating lives so they thought, "If nothing ever changes, then I just do anything right? Living in the moment would be nice."

And so humans let go of themselves, which disrupts the order of the village.

There are people who look at this incident from another perspective. They are the religious people.

They think this situation presents a good opportunity. By bringing order back to the village, they can gather faith for themselves.

The monk who built the temple in Gensokyo; the Taoist who has thrown away the earthly life and aims to achieving immortality; and the shrine maiden who seeks for reinstatement. At a time like this, they have decided, "this is my turn!"

Now with each one's belief as weapons, battle beautifully and fight for popularity!

>The basic structure may be easy
It's still easier to make a platformer, rpg, FPSs or SHMUPs. Yes, even when disregarding balancing or whatnot.

Making fighting games is like making a platformer but with a hell of collision detection, various states, and the relation between it all.

A platformer generally involves these elements as well but commonly not a level anywhere close to that in a fighting game. Instead the player character has perhaps just a couple of states and the collision detection is usually rather simple given how the character commonly doesn't change too much in a meaningful manner that would make things too complicated.

FPSs are essentially expanded upon point and click engines that commonly has some slight platformer elements, nothing too fancy.

SHMUPs are mostly about patterns, writing loops and ifs. Collision detection or whatnot tend to be piss easy considering that most of the elements in curtain shooters tend to be relatively static.

And RPGs are mostly about numbers. Then admittedly that's combined with the mechanics of another genre, but RPGs can still be overly simple at times.

Fighting games just have slightly more things to consider than that of most games. And then there is the balancing.

What I meant was that other weapon wielding characters focused more on their dial A and going from there, and even Suika who gets more damage just from her dial A than anything else. I'm not good with Tenshi so my view is a bit skewed, but it seems like she relies more on her dense bullets than she does her sword.

It's really a shame. Because well, the groundwork of the game wasn't bad.

The art was sort of charming, the controls and physics felt like Kirby.
The only instance where the game really fell flat (but oh how flat it fell) was really just the overly easy and anti-climatic boss designs, coupled with the short stages and horribly short game overall.

Considering that the engine and graphics and everything are essentially great already, they really need to make a sequel or something for another comiket. Despite how horrible the game was in practice, it's still too good to let that be it. They need to do something with it.

And I mean her play style, not her damage output.
Most of her damage doesn't come from the sword, hence why it would fit a playstyle similar to Shou who supposedly isn't very good with her spear.

If you enjoy the story, play the game first since it's the basis of canon. Then refer side-materials for more exposures.

Orin was hired to communicate with Yoshika before the TD events. It's not that unlikely for them to go to the surface.

Anyway, "they live in X place and won't move from there!" isn't really something that stops a character from appearing in the game. If ZUN feels like it, he can just invent an excuse and that's it.

Byakuren seems like she'd play a bit like Yuyu if you ask me. Smacking people away with her scroll and lighting the screen up with bullets. She might have a couple decent melee attacks that involve superpowering herself but besides that she'd want to keep a distance.

We've never seen Yukari interact with the new religious sector of Gensokyo, and I think it's pretty important given her role in Touhou.

Not really.

But seriously, this project is a third party thing, Zun helped out but I'm convinced that he's merely an advisor in this. I believe that Kasen needs to appear in a full Zun-made game first.
I think that makes sense. First, Kasen shows up in, let's say TH14 and then you can use her.
Three fairies started in manga, yes but their first big project was "The fairy wars".

She has to get her buff up though before it's really worth it though. She's not very intimidating either if you ask me. Maybe she could be a switch type or something. Needs to power up before her melee gets good, keeps people away before that point. But I wouldn't know if that kind of playstyle would work.

My no.1 character I want to see in this game is actually Ichirin. It just feels like she'd be really fun to play. She'd be melee-heavy character with maybe only one or two weak danmaku attacks, but thanks to Unzan she'd have pretty good range.

In before she's the only UFO character not to appear.

I have said it before and I will say it again; I really really want Seiga and Yoshika to be playable as a single entry. I don't want Yoshika to be Seiga's support, or summonable ally or something. I want them to be on screen together all the time, and the player would control Seiga who in turn controls Yoshika.

It would be really cool, although probably also way out of my league when it comes to controls. But perhaps, as a compromise for possible hard controls, only hitting Seiga would lower the health bar or something.

No, more like Alice and her dolls in previous games.

Think of it like this; Yoshika would be Seiga's main weapon. She could use her to shoot extra danmaku, for melee attacks, use her as a shield, or even as a blunt weapon. Seiga would have other attacks, a ranged attack, and maybe something with her hairpin to dodge attacks underground, but Yoshika would be her main way to deal damage to the opponent.

I'd say she is one of most likely to be included. She gets around Gensoukyou a lot, and even if she doesn't live with them she is still very much strongly allied with the Myouren temple.

Shou is explicitly stated to be bad at direct combat, she's a busy person, nor does she seem like the kind to go out and brawl. She gives Nazrin the job to check on things for her; Nazrin's entire plot set.

It seems kind of a reference to the Ee Ja Nai Ka movement of the Meiji Era, where the world was being changed before the Japanese people's very eyes and they could do nothing to stop it outside of party in protest.

The fact that the phrase "Ee ja nai ka?" shows up in Moon on the prologue page and afterwards, the Human Village starts to party since everything sucks makes this quite plausible.

Not saying CEO is everything, but I've been to a couple tournaments int he last few months and I'm not seeing them.

Sure, there is people playing them at EVO, but EVO really does have people playing most fighting games so its not that surprising.
