Has it actually been confirmed that we'll get a new demo (Touhou 14) at Reitaisai? I really hope so :) a new Phantasmagoria maybe? it's been a while since the last one and there's enough characters for it, I'm still hoping for a traditional one, even though I do love the vs ones.

About TD, if you're new to STGs it would probably be harder than some of the others in the series, because you need to know the game quite well (how to fill trance quicker, best places to use trance for more life/bomb fragments) to get more resources, where as getting a lot of resources in the earlier games comes more naturally, but the bullet patterns in TD aren't as hard (overall that it, there's still some tricky ones) so if you've been playing the other games in the series a lot the lack of resources won't be as much of a problem.

IN is my favorite in the series too. I play as Netherworld team & try to score, but Hard & Lunatic I still need to focus on survival a lot. :lol:

The only thing said by Zun is that the new game's demo at Reitaisai and full version at Comiket. He didn't say the number or type of the game or when he'll actually announce it.
People are hoping to get some info from Zun at the radio interview today (24th).

Back to difficulty:
Why I'm having trouble with doing a hard 1cc with the rest of the characters on TD is a mystery especially since I got the hard 1cc with Reimu on the first time I tried.

Based on the floating objects behind her the best theory so far is that it's going to be the actual Bishamonten.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:Jikoji_tamonten.JPG

It would set up some very interesting interaction with Byakuren's group, especially Shou who's an avatar of Bishamonten

The only speculation fuel we have so far is the outlines of the final boss on the cover as usual:


This art actually looks like a Zun art to me for some reason when I know it's not.

Manpuku jinja is making a new full episode animation for Reitaisai.
The first one was the PCB episode, this time it looks like it will be the EoSD episode.
Fortunately it looks like lot of characters from other games will make an appearance.

latest demo patch has a network/online battle.

i hope it has a rollback feature, preventing frequent lag spikes unlike hisoutensoku, which needed a 3rd party app called "sokuroll"

From what people translated the story is something like this:

Some unknown power has corrupted and trying take control over Reimu's yin yang orbs, Marisa's hakkero and Sakuya's knives. (and of course the usual high youkai activity in the area)

The shottypes will be the characters abandoning their main weapon or trying to use the corrupted weapons resulting in things like Marisa's bomb will be Dark Spark (as seen on the screenshot)

Zun also said something like the game will be retro mixed with neo and that it's simple danmaku with no scoring gimmicks.

If this means that the game will be EoSD like than I probably won't have that much fun with the game but we'll see.

Oh and Zun apparently doubled the resolution of the game engine to 1280x960 but it still runs in a 640x480 window by default.

No Youmu ;_;
can't wait for the demo

Blog Translation
The game to be released on 5/26 is the following.



Touhou Project 14
The playable demo for "Touhou Kishinjou ~ Double Dealing Character" will be released. As usual, it'll be playable up to stage 3.

The theme I went for this time was "Neither novel or retro, an ageless neo-retro danmaku shooter". So basically it's the usual where I went for a simple to enjoy game, but I tried removing a lot of the complicated game mechanics.



The general synopsis is as follows:

Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya's individual weapons have suddenly started acting on their own. On top of that, the Youkai who are usually quiet and subdued have suddenly start wreaking havoc. Will the three follow the weapons or abandon them to fight their own battle?

And that's the lowdown of the story. Anyway, the three playable characters will be Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya.







*Screenshots are a work in progress and are liable to change at any time.

Wow, time flies by! This is the 14 installment in the main line of games, though I guess it's like 21 if we include the side-games as well.

This time, I've doubled the resolution of the game. However, I haven't increased the game window size. That being said, players can continue playing with the familiar window size but with higher game resolution. If you own a respectable computer, you should be able to play at 1280x960.

The disk will cost 300 yen.
If you are attending Reitaisai, please feel free to drop by the "Shanghai Alice Gakuendan" booth.

Oh, and if you're wondering the other title will be available at the Twilight Frontier's booth.
Touhou Project 13.5
"Touhou Shinkirou ~ Hopeless Masquerade"

But of course, do drop by my booth as well!

I'm also kinda sad that Youmu's not playable, but then again she wasn't really a regular.

They say Nitori will haved some kind of ammo and if it runs out you can't use specials.

So if we assume background characters are not playable Sanae, Suwako, Kanako, Aya and the Aki sisters are out. (Hina and Momiji is missing)

Maybe the underground is the next level featuring SA characters with a playable Orin or Okuu.

From shrinemaiden

The Imaginary Personality - Koishi Komeiji

She couldn't remember a thing.
Before she knew it, she had joined the crowd.
No one noticed her presence.
Living her life day in and day out without any dreams or hopes.
But these unusual events caused her to throw down the gauntlet,
creating just a tiny change in her daily life.

Special Skill: Super Reflexes
When the command for heavy melee attacks, heavy projectile attacks and special moves are entered, the move is "set" and will activate will come out automatically when certain conditions are fulfilled such as enemy placement or passage of time. One of each of the three attacks can be set at a time, and an icon will indicate when a move is prepared.

Last Word: Brambly Rose Garden
Pulls the opponent into a storm of rose danmaku.
The roses are unblockable and the suction of the attack
will slowly draw them in.
If performed within a certain distance,
it will forcefully submerge enemies in a sea of roses.

By the way, Tasofro's Twitter account said she is the last (non-boss) character.

And that's it, no more characters, not bad i guess, these 2 last are pretty random
Koishi is pretty cute in that art

Non-boss as in the characters that are available at the start and boss characters are characters like Iku and Tenshi in swr.

And if I remember right you couldn't play as Iku and Tenshi until you beat story mode in swr so they don't want spoil characters so you can be surprised when you reach them in story mode.

yeah it turns out that facebook post was made back in january but no one listened to him.

The guy looked through the first demo's data in a hex editor and Tasofro left the name strings of all the characters in the code and it has Mamizou in there too and an empty string where the final boss should be (probably the name wasn't finalized back then).

I've tried the demo a little bit now. It's good to see ZUN kept Spell Practice in, I really like the stage 3 boss, she has some fun attacks, I think I only managed to capture one on Lunatic though they were pretty hard >.<.

Did a run on easy to see how many resources you can get
SPOILER
That was a full bomb stock +1, getting an extra bomb with a full stock already doesn't loose it, after using one your stock is still full.


can't say anything for the scoring system all I can see at the moment is graze to increase PIV, hopefully there's a bit more to it than that.

Overall it's been a fun game so far

-Stay on the very bottom
-Be under her as much as possible. The longer you take on the card, the harder it gets

I think Kogasa's second card is harder than any of Nue's spells from what I've seen

There isn't a main plot in Touhou. Each game has its own story and don't really have a connection to one another, so you can pretty much start on any Touhou game. However, there will be some characters that have appeared in the previous games (mainly final bosses) making their appearances again on later games. I recommend you just start with Touhou Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

There isn't a main plot in Touhou. Each game has its own story and don't really have a connection to one another, so you can pretty much start on any Touhou game. However, there will be some characters that have appeared in the previous games (mainly final bosses) making their appearances again on later games. I recommend you just start with Touhou Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
