Touhou Project

[Crescent Pulsar S]

She's about the right size, considering her size relative to the size of the bowl. And considering how much energy the mallet had put out before being drawn back in, I'd say that there's no worry of reaching a limit any time soon if all we can assume is that it's been used on the bowl to change its size.

[CRBWildcat]

Hmm... I dunno. Something about it still doesn't seem quite right to me. ...But, knowing me, I doubt I'll be figuring it out anytime soon.

[CRBWildcat]

I'm putting Monsters in Paradise on the back burner for now. I've got Shovel Knight on the mind, and a crossover with Touhou in my brain. I'll see if I can get it out of the way in a couple days before getting back to what counts.

[CRBWildcat]

Can't stay long; I'm just here to pass along some minor news.

Official News

2014-09-01 Touhou and PlayStation collaboration announced. Fangames Fushigi no Gensokyo 3, The Genius of Sappheiros, and Touhou Sky Arena -MATSURI- all coming to PS systems

...

2014-08-10 Double Dealing Character will be available for digital purchase on Playism August 13th

Presumably this is Japan only, but still.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

That Playism development sounds promising. I bet their persistence to add the fourteenth Touhou game to their catalogue only succeeded because they finally caught Zun sober.

[CRBWildcat]

Game #14.5 has been announced by ZUN as of a week ago, titled "Urban Legend in Limbo". Aside from the name and the possibility that it's Marisa-centric, very little is known of it at present.

And speaking of Marisa, one of my favorite pieces of fan-art: Touhou-typed Mismagius.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Well, I finally got around to getting the Touhou games on this computer, so now I'm tempted to play some before I'm done writing fan-fiction stuffs. -_-

While I'm at it, here's a demo of the latest fighting game in the series. Interestingly, there's at least one new character being introduced into the game medium, Ibaraki Kasen (as seen here). I put it like that since she is one of the protagonists in the Wild and Horned Hermit manga.

Also, the artist used for this game is the same artist who works on the Forbidden Scrollery manga.

[CRBWildcat]

Kinda makes me wonder who else is going to be playable. Not that I'm going to be able to play it anytime soon when it comes out, of course... just curious.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Hopefully some more of the new characters in other games will appear in this game. (Also, it'd be funny if someone made a video of Kasen using that tiger move with one of Sagat's signature moves used as a voice over. )

I've got my sights set on buying Double Dealing Character, but after that I'm going to try and get the two latest fighting games once the prices are right.

I'd like for ZUN to make another game that's like Phantasmagoria of Flower View, so we can play a lot of the characters that have been introduced since that game.

And no matter what, we need more Yuuka. U_U

[CRBWildcat]

Once I get my loans paid off, I'm going to start saving for a mightier laptop. I'd like to be able to play DDC without experiencing severe slowdown; Marisa's Dark Spark drops the speed to a crawl.

Where were you intending to buy the games from? Just curious.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Wherever it happens to be sold at at an affordable price. And depending on the most convenient method to issue payment. I'm looking at JBOX right now.

[CRBWildcat]

JBOX? Can't say I've heard of the place.

Little something I found on Youtube recently. I've never had any real interest in the "Death Battle" or "One Minute Melee" series, due in part to how polarizing they can be, but this short altercation between Sakuya and JBA's Dio Brando caught my eye. (Caution: Just to be safe, I wouldn't watch this one in the workplace.)

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Well, I ordered Double Dealing Character. Now I just have to wait three to six weeks for it to get here from Japan...

*Begins to twitch and glance at the other games with a maniacal gleam in my eye, as I resist playing them*

[CRBWildcat]

Heard somewhere that Mokou's going to be playable in ULiL. Don't know if it's actually true or not, although her new profile art at the Touhou Wiki looks pretty nice.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Shinmyoumaru will be a playable character, too, apparently. It also seems that the game will be out on the tenth of May. Wish I could get it, but the fighting games are more expensive. Since both characters were revealed by Tasofro, we can expect it to be true. It kind of makes sense, too, since this fighting game also seems to focus around the human village (like the last one did), and Moukou is one of its visitors, while Shinmyoumaru has been seen around the shrine in the manga.
