Its been nearly a year since I posted any updates on the status of my fangame. That being said, I feel that I have come far enough to announce the game once more with a thread dedicated to doing so. So I present Touhou Daimaro ~ Magical Moon Story!
Touhou Magical Moon Story MMS for short is a fangame for Touhou Danmakufu Ph3, this fangame is being developed by three people, myself(Programing, Most Resources), Spectral Nexus(Music), and
Eiburine(Boss Art). If we rewind back a year ago, MMS was just a tiny little (and lets be honest here) crappy fangame in Danmakufu 12m. Over this past year I have advanced so much into Danmakufu eventually exceeding version 12m and permanently moving on to our newest constantly updating version ph3. I've learned alot of other stuff such as how to properly use raster and vector(to a certain extent) editing programs such as Gimp, Photoshop, and Inkscape, just to name a few. Ever since I transitioned on to ph3 I have worked hard to bring my idea of a Touhou game to life so I practiced and practiced with the engine, had to remake stages and boss battles constantly until I finally find a certain amount of satisfaction with them and most of all, the help of my music composer and artist who're helping me see this project to the end and I am very grateful for them.
Story:MMS takes place in Gensokyo of course, a mysterious tower has appeared out of nowhere and seems to be causing quite the disturbance around Gensokyo affecting three characters the most, Reimu Hakurei, Aya Shameimaru, and Reisen U. Inaba. Reimu discovers some of Gensokyo's natural and unnatural resources in decline and decides to seek out the cause of this and comes to the conclusion that the tower is the source of this problem so she sets out to confront the one who is responsible. Aya notices the tower's existence and decides to go out and get photographs of the tower's interior and exterior as well as the people(Youkai maybe) inside and write her reports on them. Tewi informs Eirin of a rumor that the tower is able to transport people back and forth to the moon and instructs Reisen to investigate the area and get a direct report from the person in charge of the tower. The girls have been brought into the shenanigans of the Great Tower of Magic as named by many residents of Gensokyo and set their sights for the Youkai Mountain (Aya is already there of course) since it seems to be the closest area to the tower.
(Story will probably go under changes to fill up weird things, plotholes, ect....)
Gameplay:The game is just like every other Touhou, I have had many different ideas planned that I may or may not have implemented, currently I have Mystic Square's Dream system to make a return in this game and other gimmicks from the previous games, a few other features including a Boss Rush mode, Character Biographies, and possibly other stuff if I come up with new ideas in the future.
Release Date:Planned 3 Stage Demo to release Summer of 2015. If all things go accordingly. Regardless, the demo will be this year.
Progress Showcase (What you see may not be final for the demo and full game release)https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr_y0yhRYePI0eFoQAoyXinJdz6RUo7l4I'll, try to keep screenshots to a minimum. I do Youtube videos from time to time mainly for bosses.
