It was a thing that Reimu doesn't train because she doesn't need to,

She did train for what she needed. It takes her like 4-5 pc-98 games before she figure out how to fly and stopped riding on Genji's back. What she gifted at is mastering stuff really quickly so she can become really powerful at whatever she bother to train at.

And also this:

Touhou Wiki posted:

Although Reimu has successfully resolved the incidents in each major Touhou game, it's possible that her win rate throughout the actual events of the games was not 100%. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states that Reimu likes to request rematches until she finally wins. In essence, Reimu apparently has had to use a few continues every once in a while, but she still manages to get a good ending.

Best 3D danmaku video I've seen in a long time, probably since that Reimu/Okuu one. Dunno if there's a youtube link yet.

Youtube link. This is one video you need to watch in max HD. :allears:

Poor Sakuya having to clean all that wreckage up though.

I was hoping the end scene would be Sakuya coming home with grocery and saw the wreckage and faint on the spot. But Yuyuko preview is good enough. :cheeky:

So if you really want to praise someone, thank a guy that goes by Espr, who spent his free hours translating IN's endings and script holes in a Fallujah barracks basement and uploading them when the satellite was up. World's changed a lot since then.

Translating a game script while in the army? Now that's badass. :thumbsup:

Are you loving kidding me.

The mid boss art looks so... photoshoped? The color seems brighter and size seem larger than the usual sprite size...

Use the one from the patch center. http://thpatch.net/wiki/Touhou_Patch_Center

So there's English, British English, and Yorkshine English, which is good?

and absolutely nothing is cited so it could all just be bullshit. Seems to match up with your dictionary definition though.

It came from the book Li He: A Biography (李贺小传). It's pretty hard to understand, but to sum it up, the beginning talks about Li He's life habits especially on how he works on his poem. Then it gets interesting with his conversation with a messenger of heaven when he's about to die of sickness at the age of 27, and ends with a reflection of his unfulfilled life compares to heaven in lamentation. Pretty sad story. Kinda remind me of Yuyuko. :smith:

The Hakugyokurou (Tower of White Jade) is mentioned by the messenger "The Heavenly Emperor just had his Hakugyokurou built, so he summon you to come and write down its details."

That's all there's to Hakugyokurou, and Zun is referencing it as a place that only dead people goes to.

Oh, I see. It's from something that was said to have happened to Li He himself.

It's written by his friend Li Shangyin, a much more successful poet who's heavily inspired by Li He's work and written this to lament the talent that's wasted to sickness and Li He's failure to become a higher ranking official.

quote:

Where does the thing about the size of the Touhou Hakugyokurou's gardens come in? Is that from an unrelated story? Or did ZUN just make that up?

Nothing about the garden, so Zun probably was inspired by something else.

I had a slight moment of when reading through the wiki I come to known than Tewi's the big wig for the Earth Rabbits and is just allowing Kaguya, Eirin and Reisen to stay with them.

Kaguya is the ex-boss. Tewi is the ex-ex-boss. That's why she didn't show up in game. :downsrim:

There's always Spacedrake and Robin,

I am fine with them handling this IP, but I am guessing Zun would go for some translation group from the Japan side unless he have some friends here that he can trust.

quote, "A fundamental problem is that I no longer have any of the data from the older games and it would be a challenge to create new ones."

That explain why he only releasing "the newer Touhou games".

DrSunshine posted:

What kind of coding is this??

Why wouldn't you include game engine stuff in one part and keep text and art assets in another?

I guess he ties the appearance of enemies by the dialog timing just so it matches the timing of the music and also achieving desired danmaku patterns/placement.

I think it's the kind of easier scene-by-scene coding design that the creator believes he won't need to go back to it after completion.

Not that I had read the code myself, so I could be wrong.

I think it was implied that this would take a long time. Given that she's a youkai, maybe decades or centuries.

Youkai can get a power boost to speed it up. Magical artifact, blessing of God, get worshiped to class-change to god, eat a hermit/saint, etc.
