| Development of a dammaku game that can rival Touhou |

I've made some updates to pitch in overall and to formatting of documents, but most importantly, design references now have separate hyperlinks, and now each text document is hyperlinked to Google Docs instead of Drive, so you can see Table of contents to the left, proper formatting, and in overall documents are much easier to read, you don't need to manually open them for this on Docs anymore. About western fan games my question was aimed not on just dammaku scripts (which are great), but on something more "big", as was shown by examples provided. Yes, FDF is a dammaku game, but it's made on custom engine (or it's just Unity?) and sells on Steam. |

The western Touhou community is much, much smaller than the Japanese and Chinese ones, and I'd say it's also less united, but I'm not sure. Anyways, the number of people with the knowledge and dedication to make a game is obviously much smaller, especially without such an easy-to-learn engine like Danmakufu. By the way, it's daNmaku, not daMmaku. |

From my own personal experience: In my entire life, where I was partaking in a game's community which also had fan work, I've never seen a project started or completed where the "project leader" was not actively developing along. Come to think of it, my entire lifetime here on Shrinemaiden I haven't seen any similar sized project here succeed (which is now over 10 years) |
| ITZAH:
good luck with the project, i'm also creating my game and i understand how hard it is and the amount of work and time needed My recomendation is that don't try to rival any game, just do your own stuff and do what you like, also as a game designer/creator, i will say that the creator of the game must create the music aswell, its mandatory imo, creating your own music will inspire you to create a better story, characters, bosses etc... zun in a video said, that he creates the music first before everything else, because with the music he can get the inspiration to draw characters and wirte the story, he creates touhou characters and sotry based on the music. good luck! |

Thank you. "Rivaling" is just a clickbait. I do not want to rival Touhou nor be in constant comparison with it. I just have a dream project that I want to make live, and i'm not dreaming about "being successful exactly like ZUN" or "I will destroy Touhou, my universe is better". I'm looking at this as just having two good series in the same genre, which both do wonderful cultural impact and bring happiness to people, inspire them and etc. . In terms of musical inspiration, I fill out a very big list of various songs which really inspires me. I'm really very huge music lover, so this is no problem for me. There are songs that are inspiration for characters' level and boss themes, sure, but there is also music that I find simply fitting to their nature, temper, in various theoretical situations and moods, which I imagine in context "musical composition+fan art" which can appear in the future, when the game universe will be popular. Be it one character, multiple of them at the same time, just art of the landscape, etc... . Like, for example, Johann Strauss II - Waltz "Voices of Spring"; ABBA - Dancing Queen; Sean Schafianski - Blue Water, Blue Sky; Yakuza 0 OST - Heartbreak Mermaid (imagine her singing in karaoke); Heroes of Might and Magic IV: Excalibur OST - End Turn, and ton of others for Lady Yvetta. I'm perfectly fine the characters (every aspect, visual design included) and story already done, remains little to finish. Sadly, my character artist is busy right now, so to have main heroine and 3rd level boss sketches I need to wait month, couple of them or find another artist. I mean, demo version will not include levels past first 3, so I'm not rushing with commissioning sketches of the other characters, but their bio, design, textual design of attacks, dialogues and everything else is also almost fully done, I will just not show them to public anyway until release, huh. I have composer with which I want to work, but I don't have enough money to pay him. Still, you can listen to this, which is intended to be Lady Yvetta's boss theme under rename of "Surpassing Elegance ~ Splatter Dance". Good luck to you too. |
