Props to the composer and pattern designer because HOLY SHIT were those excellent syncs ups and beautifully unique and awesome patterns to me! Some boss songs differed too much from their corresponding stage theme, but the syncs were there. Also, those frame rate issues...
@@basiliskdoor This is a fan-made Touhou game, which means ZUN had no input or made any contribution. The composer of this game was Wanwan, and the pattern designer was one of Shijimi Nono, Raichu, or ido -- this team's worked together in the past on other fan games, including Book of Star Mythology, Riverbed Soul Saver, Mystical Power Plant, and The Last Comer.
Romantis Anon the final spell of stage 6 is a big example, it also takes so long to complete that you are almost guaranteed to have the really triumphant part come in
Stage 5 is simultaneously the most glorious stage I've ever seen in a fanmade Touhou game, and absolutely agonizing to watch. I don't think I'm playing this game myself, no matter how much I love the concept. lol
It's actually not that hard of a game as far as touhou-likes go. I'm normally a Normal player and can just barely manage a 1cc on all Touhou games, but I managed a Lunatic 1cc in this game on my first try (after playing Hard and Hormal). The game absolutely vomits resources at you and the death bomb timer is extremely long so it's easy to play the resource game for 1ccs. Hell, I had 7 leftover lives at the end of my first try at a Normal 1cc. Considering I complete most 2hu games with 1 or no lives left on Normal, that should put into perspective how generous this game is.
I just realized that this is a LIVE run, not recorded from replay. Insane stuff from you as usual. This game is very enjoyable, but the difficulty spike only starts kick in at stage 5, but it really hurts.
Too bad it is so poorly optimized, backgrounds kill FPS for some reason, and only happens in this game. Something similar happens in Re:Phantasmagoria of Imagine Breaker, when the enemy "charges", it does not matter if I turn off all the effects, the game slows down horribly when that happens, and the rest of Touhou games that I have played, official or not, works at least, nearly constant 60fps perfectly.
She isn't able to talk properly outside of "chirper" which is a bird youkai social media site. She even stops mid-battle (15:10) to look up more patterns for her fight which she then plagiarizes (15:20, stolen from Utsuho)
"The black gem is the one used in this run. The polar opposite of the white gem, It offers absolutely no benefits and it's purely there for challenge runs." Then what does the White gem do?
Ookay. I'm liking boss 5. Nice design, cool theme, very interesting spellcard patterns. Especially like the one where she uses the giant hand wielding the spear to stab. Kinda reminds me of Flan's Leviathan
37:07 Fun fact: the level actually diverges here, you'll go either right or left based on which side of the screen you're on and get different patterns on each. Though I don't think I've seen a video yet where the right-hand path got chosen, the level flow generally seems to put people on the left side when the fairy uses the laser to force you to one side or the other.
Did anyone notice every boss theme has a little twist that looks like the extra stage theme? I also heard horou's theme in siran theme on the guitar part
here are the bosses for ya Boss 1 Higami Ranran Boss 2 Shirobakama Chii Boss 3 Aosagi Hikariko Boss 4 Tokujyakubou Siran Boss 5 Mystia Lorelei , Nebet Tefet and General Set Final Boss Torisumi Horou
Aww, I'm in love with that final boss! She's so cute and adorable and she looks so squishy, plus the OwO hat is so funny! Might end up commissioning someone to make a custom Fumo of her. :3 And overall I really like the theme of this game, Set is cool af and it's crazy how they connected freaking Twitter to ancient Egyptian mythology and it all worked up really well. Gonna play it later after I finish all the official Touhou games.
Any source on that? It's a shame, his art style has improved greatly, however I think he maybe running out of ideas in terms of character designs as they are becoming more and more bland looking. Take the latest game, Touhou 16 for example, the final boss is also the extra boss, that's some major corner cutting just to design one less character, it also renders the uniqueness in extra boss meaningless
Hey does anyone else get framerate drops like crazy? I have tryed alot of settings and have never had an issue with these type of games dropping frames before.. THnaks.
Yes. It seems to be an issue with loading assets as it occurs prior to new sprites or backgrounds being loaded. It affects me even with a 8700K and 1080 Ti with the game loaded onto a 960 EVO SSD. I imagine it's worse in a hard drive. I suspect a solution might be to load the entire game into RAM using software like RAMDISC but I haven't tried it.
I think it's pretty neat. I like how it makes you use every colored subshot during the fight in the non-white and black modes. All the patterns are all pretty varied and fun to dodge. The survival is kinda eh but cheesing it is more safe than doing it normally.
so the way i see it we got ze characters and zw colors (each one with its very own ability) and rainbow has all the abilities and black none am i right
aren’t some of these spells just recolored touhou originals? like the Twitter chick uses utsuho’s final, and the stage 4 boss uses a sanae spell. I’m like halfway through the vid as I type this so idk if there’s more but geez
@@anonymousanonymous8216 you know it was done intentionally idk if i'm right but i think the reason why hikariko copies utsuhos final spell is because apperently they have connection to the bird characters because of the twitter phone and i think shiran with sanae is because religion but with aya and sagume is the same thing as the previous boss
@@vitorhenriquefarias8916 ok but being vaguely related to another character doesnt mean you can duplicate their spells. the only reason satori is able to is because she is literally reading your mind and recreating your memories through danmaku. what is the excuse for these characters? even byakuren's famous shinki spell is at least slightly different from the original
Honestly, I’d say the piano got left out here more than anything. The trumpet might be common, but piano is *everywhere* in touhou music, and is a big part of what gives it its distinct sound in terms of instrument choice. You can hear it here and there in this soundtrack, but a lot of songs don’t have it at all, which is pretty much unheard of for Zun.
(tl;dr: yes, but this game is a meme) It's stolen, but it is clearly intentional. Even the name is the same (at least the second part). I don't really understand why they chose to put that spell in the game though, there is probably some joke that I am missing. The only parallel I can see between Sanae and the stage 4 boss is their connection to religion. Other than that, I can only imagine it being a joke about Sanae actually stealing that pattern from Alice. In the Extra Stage of Mystic Sqaure, ZUN had her already use a similar one way before Sanae even existed. I should point out that this game does not take itself very seriously and is filled with memes. In the dialogue at 15:10, the stage 3 boss says she is going to use the app that all of the bird characters in this game use to communicate (called Chirper, wonder what that could be referencing) to download the spellcard of a fellow bird youkai. Something along the lines of "Even if we're far away from another, even if we don't know each other, we bird youkai are connected through this communication app". Notice how the pattern she shoots immediately afterwards looks very slightly familiar? (In case you do not recognize it, it's the very final spellcard from Subterranean Animism because, well, that game's final boss is a bird, too. Took me three runs to get that joke... I felt so stupid afterwards.) This game even has Kaguya saying "Tasukete, Eirin" and Sakuya making a Jojoke (ZA WARUDO). From my very limited knowledge of the Japanese language, I can definitely recommend the English translation patch made by some fan(s) if you want to get to enjoy this kind of dialogue, because they definitely knew what they were translating... On a last note, when it comes to the bosses, this game has very many creative patterns. I don't usually enjoy fangames a lot, but even I had to hand it to them when I played this. So you should definitely be able to forgive them for shamelessly stealing two of the best patterns ZUN ever came up with. EDIT: (fixed) Japanese language, not Japanese knowledge, lol

@@Sumire973 The shader is the biggest resource eater. Just turning that off will make most of the game lagfree.
the egyptian theme on stage 5 is SO COOL
blue bird, heart and www bullets, blue smart phone with bird symbol. I'm calling Aosagi Twitter-chan from now on.

"The black gem is the one used in this run. The polar opposite of the white gem, It offers absolutely no benefits and it's purely there for challenge runs."

I'll try to check it asap, but iirc it disables your Z-Spell but empowers your Shot and Bomb.
Ookay. I'm liking boss 5. Nice design, cool theme, very interesting spellcard patterns. Especially like the one where she uses the giant hand wielding the spear to stab. Kinda reminds me of Flan's Leviathan
I love how this game proves that even if you don't lose "shot power" after dying you can still have a hard time if you're not careful.
13:45 I love how Wifi signal pops up whenever she attacks
I love the fact that the character portraits aren't completely cursed.
