ZUN surprised most people again. While probably half the universe was speculating on Touhou 13, our Hakurei Priest actually announces a Shameimaru comeback.
That is right folks, Aya is back with Shoot The Bullet style game, going by the version 12.5 and carrying the name: 東方Project 第12.5弾 ダブルスポイラー ~ 東方文花帖 (wish I could read japanese). Of course as BunBunMaru I will have to get my hands on it and write an article about it eventually. Oh right, I also hope that this game leads to
Perfect Memento in Strict Sense II and
Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red II. Now that
would be awesome.
RELEASE DAY UPDATE! Confirmed girls so far:
Here is the translation for ZUN's announcement:
Translation by: Nazerine.Touhou Project 12.5 Double Spoiler ~ Touhou Bunkachou (StB)
Right now, I'll give you a behind-the-scenes look at this, the second StB.
The people who think "I don't need any new story or plot development. I want something I can play during my lunch break" find themselves enjoying longer games as well, when they play them, so they can be bullied with danmaku.
If I had to describe the game in one sentence, it would be something like "Shameimaru Aya, the Tengu reporter, obstinately captures Youkai, humans, and others with her camera, and creates overblown dramas to put in her newspaper."
The Tengu can cut away danmaku by capturing it in her camera. Using that, she can find ways to avoid her enemies' carefully-prepared danmaku patterns, giving the game something of a puzzle feel.
This game will have completely new characters and scenes from the previous Bunkachou, Shoot the Bullet. The finished product will be sold at the Shanghai Alice booth at Reitaisai (planned to be ?1000). Anyone who's interested, please come!
I'm feeling better about a lot of things.
Below are screenshots.
(These shots were taken during the making process.)
*Warning: Compared to the other works in the series, the difficulty level of this game in terms of full completion is rather high, so be prepared.
Start hiding your ecchi/H collection. Secure your bank accounts. Do not make any phonecalls for the time being. Cause Shameimaru Aya is on you all. Ayayayayayayayaya.
