In case you hadn’t caught the news, the next Touhou game is going to be essentially a sequel to Shoot the Bullet called Double Spoiler. Is Zun trying to port this series to the DS or something? Touhou DS… terrifying. Well, I can’t really care too much since I really wasn’t a fan of the first STB, but c’est la vie.
I think I’ll just start going through all my assorted shelved doujin news a little bit at a time to stretch it out instead of just one big C77 post. It’ll give me something (else) to do over the break to break up the tedium of my family slowly driving me crazy. Anyway, first up is one of the games I’m most looking forward to for the upcoming Comiket, a rougelike from Aquastyle. It’s interesting that Aquastyle would make a game like this instead of an SRW styled game given all theirprevious work, but I like rougelikes too, so I’m not complaining. Touhou’s certainly already a series filled with enough player death anyway. What’s a few thousand more lives lost?
I am so not in the mood to separate the wheat from the chaff tonight. Something about princesses, sailors, and China fighting a whale. Or something. I’ll deal with it once the kerfuffle (44 points + double word score + 50 for over 7 letters) settles, likely tomorrow midday or so.
A few more caps of possibly dubious legitimacy after the cut.
Fettgans at Doujinsuki over in Franceland apparently more patience or drive than I do and has been compiling a preview list of ]the upcoming games at Comiket as well. Of note is his list of the Touhouthemed ones that I didn’t find wading through 50 pages of random other Touhou stuff to track down.
