I know very little about Touhou and can't play the games for toffee but I love, love, the very specific brand of weird MMD videos it generates.

Could you ever make a Touhou fangame with no art? I'm a huge believer in storytelling through mechanics, but is visual design too essential to "the Touhou feeling" to replace that way?

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

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I think it would be odd, to say the least.

Contacting a fan artist to ask for permission to use what they've already drawn seems like the best idea in that situation.

I translated some Strange Creators interviews today…-ish. It’s a little rushed, but hopefully you can understand the gist of it. This sort of thing is always interesting, because ZUN’s kind of oddly frank in these interviews.

I didn't have any data about caves, so I panicked, left my house at midnight, and drove west to Akiyoshido cave.

ZUN posted:

Deciding on the balance between Master and Slave took forever. Naturally we spent a lot of time talking about who should be in charge. And plot-wise, I just couldn't write a story where they were just teaming up. The original image I had was that it would be like Stands in JoJo. Even now that image is strong for me.

I guess I should say why I'm asking. I'm a week or two into playing with a thing in Unity, for practice more than anything, and I thought "There's no way I can turn this into something I can release, but it would be a lot less unlikely if I didn't need real art." If I ever have to act on it, it'll be a long way off. It's more of a philosophical question than anything else.

If you're just making little games for practice and fun then you can do whatever the hell you like really

Right, of course. There are a lot of things I can learn without releasing anything, but if everything goes well, one of the things I want to practice with it is boss design, which means having other people play it. Not having suitable art could easily get in the way of finding proper feedback. I guess that would itself be pretty informative, though, so maybe I should just think of "Does a Touhou game need art?" as one of the things I'm trying to learn from it.

It's a tactics game, not a shmup. One of the things that interests me is that there's a real design benefit to using Touhou for heavily rules-based games like that. If the player is already familiar with who the characters are and the kinds of things they're likely to do, it makes it much easier to get across what's going on with limited art without using a lot of words.

A lot of games prototype without having anything resembling art to see if they're fun or not. It's super ordinary, so go ahead.

Naturally. Like I said, it'll only be a concrete problem for me much later, if at all, which is why I tried to frame it as a philosophical question rather than a request for advice.

“Wriggle Nightbug” sounds more like a MegaMan X reploid than a 2hu. I don’t understand why nobody’s made THAT particularly obvious fan art, but I did go look for it.
