iirc he stated wanting to make touhou games with his children, so naturally it would be them

Presumably the fandom and culture in general. Lord of the Rings didn't die with Tolkien.

What will the final ZUN-made touhou game be like?

Yeah sounds about right. It'll just be like any other bland nu-2hu game.

[Anonymous No.]

He's irrelevant. The community can thrive without him and since he turned 2hu into gachashit I hope he dies asap.

Boy, can't wait for every touhou to suddenly turn lesbian the moment the series gets handed over to "the fans."

I am the fans, and yes every character is a lesbian, deal with it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>41635894
imagine thinking you can gatekeep touhou, let alone at this point in time when it already has 30 quadrillion pieces of lesbian fanart and fanfiction.

I will. I drink beer everyday.

How much longer can he keep the series going for until he runs out of ideas?

[Anonymous No.]

>>41637100
He's going to have to start innovating. Touhou's popularity is fading.

[Anonymous No.]

I hope at some point AI superintelligence provides us a deep-dive VR simulation of all of the locations and characters depicted in any official Touhou games or media or described by ZUN and that a simulated version of ZUN himself can be preserved there for many aeons.

I think the new mechanics introduced in TH18 and TH18.5 are a good sign desu. They radically modify the gameplay more than any mechanic we had before in a mainline game. I think that just indicates that he recognizes that it's important to start changing things up.

what is his greatest achievement

touhou

I personally think ZUN needs to sellout to take Touhou's popularity to a new level. Allow an anime studio to make a Touhou anime or movie. That will bring in new fans. He should also make another ice faery like Cirno (maybe her relative). That would break the internet.

The old monkey paw of mass appeal huh?
How many times must you learn the lesson of popularity before you stop thinking its a good idea to whore out your favorite IPs?

Public domain hopefully

[Anonymous No.]

>>41644984
in most likely hood after he retires or dies it'll remain with shanghai alice or until some company makes a big enough offer to buy the license outright

[Unipux Hearn !Xv0jlQ7a6c No.]

I've got a big fat bag of fertiliser for him

[Anonymous No.]

Thats very generous of you schizo-kun

if you are going to be a retard just don't type anything or getfo

>>41645285
I don't think so, it'd be a pretty big betrayal of Touhou's existence since that company could do all manner of stuff to hurt the doujin/fanwork aspect of the franchise
Public domain would let it intact, and even expand it
Plus I think ZUN's kids probably have more money than they know what to do with from him owning Touhou anyway

[Anonymous No.]

>>41648674
He's already made a gacha for the sake of money and in another 20 to 30 years is a lot of time, he may want to leave his family with more by the time he passes or be may hold true to his vision. There's nothing but speculation at this point really

[Anonymous No.]

>>41649847
He's specifically said that he'd prefer more of a Lovecraft kind of legacy (public domain, mixed and meshed with other stuff, or new Touhou stuff basically made by you), rather than handed down copyrights owned by something like Disney
It was in an interview about Lotus Eaters
Maybe he'll change, but I wouldn't bet on it.

>Touhou's popularity is fading.

Is this shitty meme still alive? I was in Reitaisai 2 weeks ago and it was packed, tons of people attended. The number of families were huge, not only were they having this middle school art event but I saw multiple groups of young people checking out all sort of goods. Touhou has already succeeded in passing the torch to the next generation, it survived long enough for parents to be introducing their kids to it and they are loving it. It's never going away. This is in stark contrast to stuff like Kancolle in which the events are primarily attended by adults and 90% of the content is porn, which is fine and all but that has zero staying power. Once another series comes with more attractive characters the community usually migrates over.

With the way he handles fan made content I doubt it will change much when he dies.
