I think there should probably be a thread about this

> Guidelines for Touhou Project Fan Creators
(UPDATE:November 10, 2020)
>In short, you may simply use your common sense if you’re an individual or group (as opposed to a legal person) creating Fan Content (stuff you make based on Touhou Project) just for fun.
>However, your Fan Content has to comply with the following rules:
Your Fan Content should always have:
> A clear note that your Fan Content is a fan work based on Touhou Project.
Your Fan Content should NEVER have:
> Anything that means to harm Touhou Project’s reputation.
> Anything that infringes upon other intellectual property.
> Anything that means to mistake your Fan Content as one of the official Touhou Project titles.
> Anything that is extracted from official Touhou Project games.
> Ending scenes from official Touhou Project games.
> Anything that means to advertise personal beliefs beyond the bounds of fiction.
> Other Touhou Fan Content without the creator’s permission.
> Excessive sexual content that is considered unlawful.
> Anything that promotes hatred against individuals or groups.

>Though not relevant to Fan Content, posting or modifying photos of ZUN himself without ZUN’s permission is prohibited.

There's more in the link about distribution and such as well

Any major differences from the previous edition?

I believe the sexual content note is new? A lot might be "new" but was previously implied. IIRC it used to basically just be "don't abuse the Touhou name and don't say you're official"

The distribution clauses are not ideal, but then again, this is all just guidelines, and it's probably common sense that you can distribute your games on itch.io and gamejolt.

Ah shit, ZUN was going to be photoshopped as the main character in my guro NTR doujin. Looks like I just wasted 4 months of my life...

>> No.29141051

>>29133283
The sexual one isn't that new since ZUN said not to make sexual content while calling it official, but "exvessive sexual content that is considered unlawful" is different and pretty vague, same with "anything that brings harm to Touhou Project's reputation".

>> No.29150053

that includes Steam and the App Store, right? Even though they aren't specifically listed.

That's not new, just the translator butchers it.
In the japanese version, those lines are copied from the 2011 guidelines.

What is the line between "excessive" and not? How many pics of ZUN sucking dick can I put in my game before it becomes against the guidelines?

excessive probably means hardcore stuff.
that or it can be expanded into shit like lolicon which can also be considered hardcore given the pushback from several online communities, whether it be 5ch or some other corner of the internet.

So people can make Touhou porn fangames and sell them just like that, so long as the lewd isn't taken to illegal levels (like selling it in Japan without the appropiate censoring)?
Why hasn't anybody taken advantage of this?

Depending on how you interpret it, it kills a lot of things. Say, if you are Buddhist, can you make a game where Byakuren is portrayed as smarter than Miko?
Realistically, I don't think the guidelines will stop people from expressing themselves through Touhou. I hope it won't, at least.

They, by technicality, are breaking that rule and are subject to punishment.
