Touhou Game Club

TSA. Disregard the lack of scoring.



Saying bad things about people isn't good for you. Your kindness is too stiffly handled.


How do you feel about the use of grazing enhancing drugs?

We should held a soku tournment :V

The first, cannot. There is no way that the first would even be possible for an event.

Suwako Cubic, on the other hand, is much like the official touhou games. The only difference, is that you can only play as Suwako, there's no english patch, and it's in 3D.

I think most to all games can be used for tournaments. In most cases it's live-streaming though, for speedruns (old arcade games) or actual tournaments in fighting games. It does not always need to include a score system to entitle its use in competitive gameplay. However, when asking me, I don't know any Doujin games that have any non-speedrun competitive values (such as Touhou Hangyakugeki). The Suwako Cubic is, as Zandorf said, basically like the official Touhou games, so it's a score comparison thing again.

Are you asking for our opinions in regard to your writing? Or perhaps you're only requesting us to participate in your CYOA?



That may be true, but here I'm wishing to know "how" for a specific game. Most fangames have horrible balancing for its difficulty (or I just suck at it). It's also asking too much for an online support feature, which is also limiting our choices in this matter. If it's possible, I would like to make an event revolving in fangame that's not too difficult-not too easy, and we all can enjoy it regardless of language barrier and alien-ish mechanic.



Go butterfly yourself <3
I am not a precise player like Rin. That said, your drugs don't really give any benefit aside from enlargening my analog stick into the same level as a prehistoric baseball bat. Speaking of TSA, what kind of competitive method would you suggest? Is it even possible to connect via the Network option? I have yet to try myself.



Have mercy, signore.
That's a plausible input. But I have yet to see the safest method to prevent lags during battles. If I recall correctly, BiBi and Zandwarf still had to suffer lags, which is quite something.



Gotcha. What is your personal opinion for the game itself? Is it any good, or enjoyable, or fapworthy, or etc etc? And the most important one is of course; how high is its potential to be used for events?

It's pretty good... but I haven't played it again since it came out though... Haven't played much touhou recently...

It can be used for events pretty well, since it has rather the same type of scoring mechanisms as the official games. That being said, it's difficulty is about par with either TD or MoF. It even has Koishi as the Extra boss. :3

No no no no, I have a bad feeling for Koishi as Extra boss.
But are you really sure that the difficulty is approximately in between TD and MoF? It doesn't sound so bad.

For people who want to try said game, go here. Credit goes for the original uploader(s).
I can download 56 MB file in an hour. In case the game is above decent line, I will add it into my consideration list.

Well since it's about the fangames how about something different from the danmaku type ones?
Like platforms or other kind?
just sayin'

That's alright. But again, I am asking for 'what game' and 'how'.
The only platform ones I've ever played are Touhouvania and Megamari.

On the job to find an answer.
First i'll check the games, then i'll try them.

Oh, Koishi is very hard... But I've been able to 1cc everything but lunatic on Suwako-chan Cubic.

Saw this and had to comment. I just finished 9.4GB in 45 minutes.

You ass... I'm at Jenkins speed right now... for some god awful reason...

Preferably both. I had planned for this to be the story of a possible visual novel, but the project fell flat due to... impossibilities.



Online support, as you mentioned, is just impossible, since the invention of internet gaming. I'd have to look through the games on my laptop again (am using my desktop here, since the Wlan card in my laptop is busted and I'm too lazy to get it fixed), but I think there might be a game that could qualify for a Doujin Game Event.

PLAY GINTAMA SUGOROKU,YOU DOG FOOD EATER!!!

Alrighty. Even though it doesn't really mean much, I will see what I can formulate.



and that's just what I'm interested to know. I am a bit skeptical toward fangames in general. That said, this kind of topic could be my chance to learn and utilize them.



You diabetic-wavy haired dead fish.

Eat this transcendent dish made of delicacy and elegance so we can have a deal.



a very patriotic statement, Zandolan.
BiBi the Trearcherous Butterfly is just asking to be ravaged in the butt with a steamroller.

Are you suggesting Rin uses such things?
No idea on both accords. Just wanted a reason to play it again.



A steamroller doesnt even make sense, jack hammers are more suited to the job. Construction equipment and connection speeds aside, how about a low scoring event? The goal would be to time out every spellcard, ideally 1cc without ever bombing or shooting at anything. The score would end up as the total base score and any bonus (graze, auto collect, etc)

i prefer to sing my own version of Renai Circulation than have to eat that diarrhea mess that you call food.

Every vote counts. Unlike some countrie's government makes you believe, in my case they do.



I will have a look now and tell you later.

EDIT: Now, I realized I only have Age of Ethanols, Sengoku Gensokyo and Komeiji Satori no Jousou Kyouiku, aside from Touhoumon, PatchCon and Touhouvania, which all don't really qualify for tournaments either.

Well, actually the Satori game has a timer and efficiency score for the levels, so that could be used. But aside from that one, I don't know any other either.

I would actually bring up certain fangames that could be good event material, but I'll have to locate the links again since I no longer have them.

On that note, if a fangame was ever chosen for an event, which would you prefer it to be - bullet curtain or non bullet curtain?

I've only read "The End of Boredom" so far, but I'll pitch in my current thoughts.

First off, allow me to say that I am a fan of your writing technique, where the character's personality and opinions blend into the text - I think you did it quite seamlessly. It gives off the feel of hearing one tell a tale rather than reading a tale.

I generally found your choice of words pleasing to the eye, with the occasional hiccup or two which sounded awkward, such as using the full words "do not" instead of "don't" (IMO, the latter works better for your tale). That's just my personal preference speaking though~

You've built your storyline quite linearly, with no incessant straying that breaks from the flow - your character's inner thoughts and opinions have been utilized well for providing the additional backdrop. While we're on the matter of environment, kudos on providing good descriptivity. It helps keep the reader's imagination spinning.

So far, I must say I find the MC's slightly pessimistic/negative outlook of life a bit off-putting (I've only read first part, so bear with me :B), and I think he gets a bit too opinionative on certain subjects at times (though it does add insight into his character).

On the overall, I like where you're going with the story. That you chose to involve the MC with Maribel and Renko instead of randomly being spirited away to Gensokyo is a good sign that things are bound to get interesting later on.
I'll follow up later when I've read the rest.
