What's that about? First time I hear about that.

I still think it's a shame that the Gensokyo.org stopped updating their replay stuff for games after TD. Kinda hard to find DDC replays when there's no real replay archive for it.

This is just hearsay so maybe it didn't really happen but here's what I heard:

quote:

Developer guy was getting kinda tired and pissed at the whole thing, and the straw that broke the camel's back was some dude releasing the PC-98 English patches behind his back. So, developer guy is gone and doing his own separate thing now. And there are no developers left on the team, so thcrap is not going to be moving anywhere now.

Yeah, the main dev didn't want them to be released just yet, but the guy he was working with didn't agree and well. Here we are.

I'd say Cirno's revised title has more or less overtaken the old one, but that could be the exception. I still see "Shikieiki" now and then.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

FractalSandwich posted:

If anything, it might be better if there are no more patches. As long as a translation only exists on a wiki, mistakes can be fixed. But once a patch is out there, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. Your "bounded field"s and "Cherry Blossom of Sumizome"s will last forever.

Well, I think we have a major problem as long as the wiki doesn't host transcripts of the endings.

To break away from translation chat for a moment, I'm probably gunna stream Genius of Sappheiros tomorrow around 11 AM Pacific (or maybe later I guess, if enough people complain at me). It's probably the only way I'm going to do a LP of GoS because gently caress screenshotting stuff , so if it at all interests you, come check it out or something.

e: someone pointed out to me that most people have jobs at sane times so I'll probably do it more around 3 PM actually.

Not only this but it's not like there aren't other people who also work on the thcrap stuff. Their twitter still updates occasionally with little changes. It's not like there's been a major game anyways, unless everyone's saying this drama happened overnight (the last tweet was on the third).

Also I'm assuming it will still be trivially easy to spew out the game's innards with brightmoon or some such and you can at least get your online translation going that way.

As long as ZUN makes his own engine, he'll be fine. It's when he teams up with Tasofro that getting to the innards is a Sisyphean task of code-wrecking, if it's possible at all.

To be fair, probably some intern was google searching for a parody of the first Simpsons technical difficulties they used and found the Suika one to be be funny.

If anyone remembers the Dancing Phantasmagoria album released by Mapoze a while back, they're making a similar release for the upcoming Reitaisai: http://mapoze.com/pub/hihu-dance/

It took me a couple playthroughs but I just realized there's no documentation on any of the gameplay or mechanics. Wouldn't even a basic readme work?

EDIT: Oh boy some people can't run the game without Japanese locale.
I'm getting serious shades of "console to PC port"itis here.

Yeah, when Playism said they were bringing Touhou to the west, this isn't really what I expected. Still bought it, because it's nice to get it officially, but if I knew this was all it was I would have just got it on the JP store months ago.

The zip file you download extracts to a mojibake folder, if you don't rename it the game quits on launch. That is probably the app locale thing people are dealing with... orz

At least the Windows built-in .zip extension extracts the directory name correctly. Guessing that most zip archivers don't handle Unicode properly.

e: Also the resolution selection dialog is in English now.

Wait, Zun wants to stop drinking? The thought is almost too much to bear.

If Zun does quit though, he better end it with a Phantasmagoria game with every character playable. :colbert:

Maybe next time you (and all those other news articles) will read the official press release. :livintrope:

Also ZUN saying he wants to quit is a running joke. He'll say that every so often but everything he's said about Touhou seriously being his life's work outweighs it.
