ZUN: "I'd say it's about time to release Steam versions of the Touhou games." (And HSiFS would be the first)

ZUN: "It used to be really annoying to release on Steam, but they relaxed a lot of restrictions at once so it shouldn't be too hard to whip something up."

I wonder if they are also going to be an English translation for them. Probably not though...

I really doubt it. I'm not even sure it'd really be necessary given the fans kinda have that poo poo on lock at this point.

It would even be possible to add support for fan patches through Steam Workshop, so yeah, they (still) wouldn't even have to go through the process of localization.

I was secretly hoping for this ever since I saw Koei-Tecmo adding ports of their PC-98 catalog (all in Japanese of course) but with Steam Direct, they definitely made it easy enough for one reasonably busy person to do it.

Edit: Found another tweet summarizing the main points of the livestream.

- Releases will start with Hidden Star in Four Seasons
- Planned to happen before Winter Comiket
- Basically the same as the physical versions
- Tasogare's new fighting game will be released at Winter Comiket
- This is also planned for a Steam release next year
- Other Shanghai Alice works will be added if the response is favorable

To be fair even if they don't get an English translation as long as I can buy them on steam I will.

I'd already bought the physical version of that by the time it was announced, but this is, what, only a few months post release? Touhou games are basically as close as I have to a physical game collection these days but I don't need that, I'd happily go digital.

I bought the Touhou fangame "Touhou Double Focus" because it was $2 on PSN and its terrible. I enjoyed Rabi-Ribi, so I figured this Metroidvania would be okay. The game doesn't have any invincibility frames when you take damage so enemies just stunlock you.

Wow, Reimu being racist as hell isn't surprising, but everyone is racist towards Nitori for being a kappa. How shameful.

Also, are the past versions of these archived somewhere? I'd like to see them all again, I forgot what some of them said.

(Reimu is so amazingly hateful and arbitrary in hers, wow. It's kind of hilarious. Also, Sanae rating Suwako as lower than herself? Huh.)

I like that sometimes Sanae doesn't understand anything what either of her mums say, but with Kanako it's awe-inspiring and with Suwako it's just annoying. Someone's clearly picking favourites.

Youmu is far too nice and indecisive to give anyone more or less than what she thinks is an average score and she was more worried about Yuyuko was doing that night anyway than any of these chucklefucks.

Fun highlights of the HSiFS interview: Eternity Larva was meant to be an impressive, boss-like name that would seem out of place on a fairy. Nemuno was considered for having Gal fashion with a lot of make-up. Okina was originally designed for a wheelchair, which is why he first drew her sitting.

There are also a lot of interesting things that probably shouldn't be read in summary form.
