If you could have your own Touhou fangame...

[KrackoCloud]

I'm sure most of us have imagined our own personal Touhou game at some point or another.
So, if you could make one (or more, if you have a lot of ideas or something), what would it be like? What genre would it be, and what kind of features would it have? Feel free to go into loads of depth if you've thought about this for a long time.
This game would be one of those really high-quality ones, not just a Danmakufu script or something.

As for me, I've been envisioning a 3D platformer for some time, to the extent that I'm trying to figure out its controls and whatnot. Don't tell me I'm the only one who's been like this before!

The basic concept of my game idea is this:
You control a main character, and have a few slots with that character's respective attacks. You can have one slot active at a time. Each type of attack has its own properties - Power, speed, range, the like.
Power is self-explanatory. Speed is important because for moving targets, you need to have a fast and accurate attack. The strong attacks tend to be slower, so you have to wait for enemies' vulnerable periods.
When an enemy comes within range (which, as stated, varies by attack as well), it becomes locked-on. Some attack types can only target one-at-a-time, although you could probably toggle which enemy you target. Other attacks can target multiple at a time. After an enemy is locked-on, you can press the attack button to shoot at them.

I don't really need to say anything here, do I.

Although I do have OCs that have some mashup of a story and other vague ideas. But whatever. If anything I'd like to try making
-a Yukari puzzle game I've been envisioning in my ideatrain for a bit
-or a Touhou Kirby game, which has recently entered my ideatrain

[Myschi]

-or a Touhou Kirby game, which has recently entered my ideatrain

You've caught my interest, care to elaborate?

Also, my contribution.

Dynasty Warriors: Gensokyo.

[Drake]

Protag is still Kirby but with a small hitbox, Touhou characters as similar ball-shaped enemies akin to the sprite similarities of Patchcon, 50+ totally broken abilities just based on characters you eat, fiendishly difficult level design and enemies shooting danmaku balanced by said broken abilities, frequent boss fights that involve major characters (more abilities), more danmaku, worlds are obviously based on realms in Gensokyo, etc etc.

[Grand Octopus]

Alternatively, something like Gensokyo Rensa except non-shitty would be great. Or Dynasty Warriors.

[Miasma Melancholy]

Had my own idea for a Touhou Castlevania game long before Koumajou Densetsu was released. Although it's a lot like the more recent ones, with larger maps that let you explore the castle more, not like Koumajou Densetsu which is completely linear like the NES Castlevanias.

It had pretty much every character from the Windows games, and a couple PC-98 characters as well. Namely Mima, Elly, Kurumi, and most of the cast of MS, because Makai and Mugenkan were major locations near the end of the game. I think the only literary characters that appeared were Rinnosuke and the three fairies. The fairies were bosses early in the game, and Rinnosuke ran the store. I might've added Akyu at some point just for plot purposes.

[N-Forza]

Touhou music game, something like Rock Band/Guitar Freaks & DrumMania, or even IIDX would be cool.

[CK Crash]

A Metroidvania/RPG with SWR-like controls where you make your own Youkai and explore Gensokyo. You collect and use skill cards, but you can also combine them to create unique nameable skills combining their attributes. For example, you could use Reimu's Homing Amulet card to add homing to any attack, or Yukari's Teleport to add the ability to attack distant enemies through a gap. You could build relationships with your waifu different factions and become a resident of virtually any of Gensokyo's locations.

Basically combines my love of making things, exploring, and RPGs. Touhou setting would just be icing on the cake actually. Unless someone else has already made something like this, I'm probably going to spend an unhealthy amount of time trying to make this after I complete my computer programming courses.

[Bananamatic]

less complex patterns, more patterns which actually try to kill you
no focus, tap/hold instead
naming it "bullets" instead of "danmaku" and forcing it down every fanboy's throat

[Halca]

I would love a cooperative touhou mmo with a stage mode that covers the canon so far, customizable shots, and the currency would be graze :B

[Sen]

less complex patterns, more patterns which actually try to kill you
no focus, tap/hold instead
naming it "bullets" instead of "danmaku" and forcing it down every fanboy's throat

so basically just not touhou


also this would be my touhou fangame

[Hello Purvis]

This but in Englitch.

If I had a Touhou fangame, it would probably be more like a sandbox game than anything.  Of course, every single character ever would be included.  You can choose who you want to play as at the very beginning.  This would affect your stats, storyline, and how people interact with you.  For example, if you decided to play as Marisa, you could not walk into the SDM as easily as Meiling could.  Star Sapphire would have to do a considerable amount of quests and level-grinding before she could take on Yuyuko.  Medicine might want to start a huge incident during her storyline, while Reimu would want to solve one instead.  Later on, once you meet a certain amount of people, you can change who you play as whenever you feel like it.

Danmaku and spellcards would be in the game, but battles would be more like the 2d fighting games than anything else.  This is mostly because you'd be tromping around Gensokyo like you were playing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.  You could still fly, of course, and have danmaku battles in the air.

As for the storylines, I don't really know how that's going to work out.

Also, the graphics and scenery would be awesome.

I dunno, that's just wishful thinking.

[Bananamatic]

so basically just not touhou

i'd make the touhous into
some sort of loli airplane machine

[N-Forza]

so you'd turn it into DDP-DOJ

Based on the "Touhou Monster Hunter" outline I posted in that thread in PSL, a Touhou fangame that's something similar to Spelunky only with less bullshit deaths (which would take away from the Roguelike aspect of it). Kill monsters as you go and gain exp then use said experience to upgrade or buy new skills for the road up ahead. However gameplay isn't going to be totally linear and will require you to actually "hunt" monsters across Gensokyo, save for most bosses whom are located within the deepest part of a dungeon. As you fight and defeat Touhous, your hunter rank goes up and according to what Rank you have stronger Touhous will begin to appear to challenge you or new dungeons that contain stronger Touhous will open up (more or less, these dungeons contain EX Level bosses).

Most of the Touhous will be in the game, but in a more monstrous form as opposed to their usually "loli" forms we all know (y'know, like Kanako who's ACTUALLY a Lamia, Letty as a Polar Bear, Yuuka as a Man-eating sunflower, and both Eirin and Kaguya who actually looks like an alien...three eyes, tentacles, you know the works). Other, more humanoid, Touhous will be avaliable as optional "party members" who will travel with you and give you back up in the form of co-op team play. The Touhous on your team can issue out Team attacks which can help dish out higher amounts of damage on enemies. Unlocking them will require your Hunter Rank to be at a certain level or for you to do something extra in the game to have them appear.

The protag has about 4 methods of basic attack; punch, kick, low attack and high attack. However as you gain exp and purchase new skills you get even more complex moves that can be used to take down the monsters. Some Touhous might retain a weakness to certain skills (like Letty will be weak against a Fire skill). Money wil also be present, to which you can use to buy items and equip for your guy. 

Hell, I just might do this on my own now that I have Game Maker 7.

[Bananamatic]

so you'd turn it into DDP-DOJ

nah they are loli airplane machines in DFK, too big to be player chars though :V

or just make mannosuke the pilot
that game would leak testosterone
turn the touhous into huge mecha bosses like in DFK

make ZUN the tlb

[Shizzo]

Making a danmaku MMORPG would be sortta hard, as people would have the option to create their danmaku, and, probably most people will just do something like Ilusion Seeker, but without disapearing walls D:

Although the idea of it is pretty <3  I'd play it for sure~

[Bananamatic]

Tourneyfag sign "Solid Wall"

[Magical Girl Satori~]

PacYuyu.
Different colored Myons as the ghosts, Youmu as cherry, dammaku as pellets, you get it.

[KrackoCloud]

Kinda late to this, aren't I?  :derp:

The concept of a Touhou MMO would be cool, but it would very likely lose all sense of danmaku-ness. (Not that that's too much of a problem, as long as there's a stress on projectiles.)
Unless it's something like Valkyrie Sky, but I doubt that anyone would want to make that, just because it would be a little too similar.

Protag is still Kirby but with a small hitbox, Touhou characters as similar ball-shaped enemies akin to the sprite similarities of Patchcon, 50+ totally broken abilities just based on characters you eat, fiendishly difficult level design and enemies shooting danmaku balanced by said broken abilities, frequent boss fights that involve major characters (more abilities), more danmaku, worlds are obviously based on realms in Gensokyo, etc etc.

I would love this so much. Kirby and Touhou is an awesome combination. It might remind me some of MegaMari, but of course it must be way better.

Touhou music game, something like Rock Band/Guitar Freaks & DrumMania, or even IIDX would be cool.

I'm imaging a game where beats forward, and it's your job to make sure they hit/pass the marker - In other words, you have to dodge them :U
Hey, it would work!
Say the song is Border of Life - Yuyuko would be at the very end shooting "beats" at you, and when they hit the marker, they do their little cool particle effect, and maybe make a sound.

[Tengukami]

I once dreamed of a Touhou version of a Fallout 3-ish game. The basic plot was the Hakurei Border collapses, devastating Gensokyo and destroying much of the wasteland. There are no spell card rules anymore. Youkai will kill and eat you. Factions that used to get along fairly well are now in a death struggle. You choose your faction: Forest of Magic, SDM, Eientei, etc, and go from there, exploring, fighting, getting quests and such. The main quest is to find a certain youkai who can restore the Hakurei Border and restore order to Gensokyo. You don't know who this person is, but you get clues along the way.

[Blitzer]

Yukari and Portal.

It would take place when Yukari was still getting used to her border powers, assuming that there was such a time.

[Vicks]

Yukari and Portal.

It would take place when Yukari was still getting used to her border powers, assuming that there was such a time.

Yukari: *just waking up* Muuuh...where am I?

GLaDOS: WELCOME YOUKAI, TO THE APETURE SCIENCE FACILITY. YOU WILL BE TESTED FOR LATENT BORDER RELATED POWERS.

Yukari: Wait what? And why am I wearing an orange jumpsuit?

GLaDOS: THAT IS IRRELAVANT. COMMENCE TESTING IN 3, 2, 1. *Floor beneath Yukari opens up, exposing incinerator*

Yukari: *Freefalling* FFFFFF-


Would probably explain why she's abit of a jerk now :V

I want an elaborate RPG with ALL OF THE CHARACTERS

For the PS3

All 3D, beautiful graphics, large maps, large dungeons, and many side-quests. Innovative level system and real-time battle mechanics, instead of turn-based play. Old-fashioned control schemes, though.

I want it to be primarily a single-player game, with a small multiplayer/netplay addon.

Also, the opportunity to explore all of Gensokyo. I want to know what the Scarlet Mansion looks like, every single corner. (Luigi's Mansion did a very good job with this.)

Give me the "Holy shit factor" that Super Mario RPG had when it came out. That said, I would like this RPG to be similar to LoZ in some ways.

Make the bosses insanely difficult, make the dungeons difficult (where you actually use your head to play) but make everything worth the effort.

Oh boy, I could go all out on this...

[Blitzer]

For the PS3 as many platforms as possible

Fixed.

[Bananamatic]

difficult!=fun
because it's touhou doesn't mean that it has to be extremely hard
