Where the heck do these people get the ZUN-like soundfonts for this stuff?
Also, Touhou thread. Discuss who will be in the 13th Edition. besides Reimu and Marisa, of course

I would love if EoSD characters would make a comeback, but that would be pretty unlikely.

Playable Remilia/Patchouli/Flandre is all I ask for.

[Anonymous No.]

She didn't come this far to stop after one game!

[Anonymous No.]

ZUN made a minor touhou-themed game in 2008 where you play as Patchouli and just shoot at random stuff, but it's simple as hell and has no story so nobody gave a shit about it. All I know is that it has Shinki from Mystic Square in it, but I haven't played that far because I don't really care.

Paste into google: 神魔討綺伝

Goddamn you already have almost every EoSD character in 12.3.

[Anonymous No.]

If I don't see a third Deva in the next game, I'll be kinda sad.

Also, I suspect it will also finish the Moriya saga or will generally be somewhat related to Kanako anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6335644
ZUN didn't make that, I'm pretty sure he just composed for it.

props to you, good anon. Will fucking do.

>>6335643
I agree with this while asking a question : is 13th Edition a bullet game or a combat game? Is it already specified? When I meant theses characters, it was a playable character in a shoot'em up game. If it's a combat game, I want Fujiwara no Mokou, for damn sure.

well, it's called something of lasers so probably bullet hell

God, so many of those are so goddamn bad and, frankly, don't sound like ZUN at all. It's like those people think they can just replace the samples with the cheesy sounding ones and not bother properly rearranging.

>>6335655
All the whole number games are bullet hell games. Fighting games or short ones are numbered by decimal place.

>>6335653
He "made" it to a certain extent, he provided all relevant content to a preexisting engine. It would be dishonest to say that he wasn't responsible for what goes where, DNA only did the mechanics.

Think of it like RPG maker; if you add all your own content and only use the engine then the folks who wrote RPG maker wouldn't be responsible for what all goes on in the game - bottom line that ZUN is in fact responsible for what all is in it.

Pity the engine sucks, that part isn't ZUN's fault though.

I think that could fit in together quite nicely. Though I stopped predicting Touhou plots long time ago. In fact, I never did.

If only this would be a real game ;_;.
Seriously, when I saw that I was shocked by how amazing it would be. Then I was mad, real madness.

any leads on the Touhou soundfonts yet?

I never tried to predict Touhou plots either, however ZUN is getting more and more consistent with the plot of his games recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to continue that business with the Moriya Shrine.

But like >>6335664, you have to actually compose like ZUN, not just throw soundfonts at things. It's not extraordinarily difficult, but you have to at least make a new arrangement, not just steal a set of MIDI tracks and replace the patches.

Seconding EoSD characters.
I'd like to at least have playable Sakuya again.

Here's what I'd consider a decent example of composing like ZUN, if you actually know your stuff then you should be able to get a few good ideas and start taking notes on what to do to emulate the style.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6335701
Sakuya has got to be the #3 most used character, just under Marisa because she wasn't around in PC-98.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUBNOV1K_qU is the best example of ZUN-alike ever made by someone other than ZUN, end of story.

It's interesting to analyze what about this track makes it "ZUN-like" besides the soundfonts.

The most obvious thing, I think, is the way that different tracks echo each other. If you listen carefully, almost every single voice in the composition echos or responds to the action of a previous one. This builds until around around ~0:56, where the responses build into multiple different melodies being played simultaneously -- but all in sync with each other.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6335726
can someone post that game?

[Anonymous No.]

I'll use this thread to ask, whether anybody knows some ZUN-art pictures (for example from kamS) in better resolution!
~2000x2000 pixels or higher are requiered for poster quality!

[Anonymous No.]

Choosing your source of sounds is important, but not too important - ZUN seems to have been picking up more tools for himself over the years so he's not stuck with a simple selection.

1) Type ZUN style into youtube search.
2) Look up music from games you haven't paid as much attention to, especially PC-98. ZUN's style can be found all the way back to TH01.
3) Look it up; ZUN simply uses a lot of somewhat rigidly defined guidelines for himself which have probably been clearly identified by other people in the past. This is part of why his style has been so well-developed even in his early days.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6335776

There is no such game.

Or well, there wasn't when that composition was made. Someone made a parody version later, I think.

Fuck, now every single time I listen to a ZUN song, I hear nothing but tracks echoing each other like that. Go listen to Nuclear Fusion from 1:28 onwards, holy crap.

Kasen is human.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6336027

"Hermits" are not ordinary humans. They are effectively monk/wizards who have achieved immortality; the closest parallel in an existing character might be Alice.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6336080
You mean Byakuren. And no, that would be a bad parallel. Byakuren (and Alice, if you believe Akyuu) gave up their humanity by achieving magical powers. Kasen sees herself as human.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6336102

Oops, I forgot UFO existed. Yes, Byakuren would be closer.

[Anonymous No.]

The only thing that interests me about Kasen is the upcoming swarm of "Wild and Horny Hermit" doujins due at Winter Comiket.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6336109
Kasen is more like Lunarians, able to achieve longevity by purifying herself. The difference is, Lunarians simply shelter themselves from Earth's impurity, while staying alive as a hermit requires a whole lot of work.
