チルノレーシング・幻想へのロード 「Cirno Racing - Road to Genso」

BunBunMaru news office brings you another preview of a rather interesting game that I have stumbled upon quite a while ago, but never actually found good informative source for.

The game carries the the name: Cirno Racing which was presented on this year's Comiket C76. And as you might have guessed, it is a racing game. Unfortunately, again this is mere a preview. There are rumours being spread about a possible demo being available soon. I hope to write an more indept article if a demo is released for free by the developers

I wish I could read japanese

I am hearing suddenly various rumours about this game either being an april fool joke or canceled. But if I don't see anything written on their official site about this. Kind of late for an april fool joke in my opinion.

Genso is actually a real word, you know. Considering they're already in Gensokyo, I think "Road to Fantasy" is better. Maybe 'Illusion' instead of fantasy if you want to be literal.

And Kaguya's car (http://n216.com/hrszn/cr/kaguya.htm) is the best. XD  Also, the Koumakyou crew (http://n216.com/hrszn/cr/kouma.htm).

This looks fun.  I hope it's not another one of those "preview video only" things, and actually gets released (and that it works in Wine).

They make the weirdest race tracks. Also a no-loop track at that. Heh, that's Gensokyo for you.

... And I doubt this will ever work on Windows98SE =x=;; (guessing that game will at least need DirectX 9's d3d_33.dll, which my dinosaur OS doesn't support)

You need to update.  At least to Win2k, unless you need straight DOS support for something.

Anyway, it seems like they might be doing a trial release next summer.  Hopefully it's not another Touhou vaporware game with a pretty video.

And the notice you saw for the trial release had been up for a long time, so it was a reference to LAST summer.

Seems like it was either a fabrication, or the people making it gave up on it and never said anything.

Seemed like a lot of work for a fake, but if anyone is familiar with Enjoy April Fool's Day,
Japanese people seem to like to waste work.

Artist tend to draw game concept sketches, it seems. He's full of ideas, just not enough human force or whatever reason to complete even one, I guess...

I'd like to give thanks as well. I guess I missed reading/checking on EDICT the rest of the section's name "捏造の記録" that I only read Cirno Racing and jumped onto the concept arts.

Anyway, unless there's official announcement from the site about its development being stopped or what, I'll think to believe for myself that it's still under development, only slow. *getting my hopes still high? |3

Look at the bright side people: a similliar game might eventually come into the works, just from different, more reliable creators.

I mean, it's Mario Kart. With Touhou. It's creation is inevitable.

Hopeful said inevitable creation doesn't contain Blue Shells.

I'm actually happy it didn't went through. The low screen might have been bothersome. You saw more floor than scenery.

Also, I'm not quite happy Cirno Racing being too often linked to Mario Kart than Chocobo Racing... probably because I haven't played Mario Kart, but meh |V...

CirnoRacing Homepage updated (http://www.n216.com/hrszn/cirno_racing/index.html) when I visited o_o. The update speaks of thanks to the visitors and about a patch, as far as I can read.

Wah, Reitaisai yesterday, and I didn't even... o_o

Installed the game and the patch, but it's really barebones right now. When they said version 0.02, they weren't kidding. It's just the first two parts of the beginner's mode. First part is Cirno and Daiyousei crashing into a tree and the second is a tutorial from Nitori.

So far they seem to be on the right track (hurr). It controls decently enough, steer, accelerate, brake and hop. Attacks charge up over time, and there are two levels so far, but actually using them wasn't working yet. The graphics are a good start too. It ran smoothly, but maybe it was just because the environment was so simple.

Looks like it's running off of XNA so non-Windows users might have a hard time running it? I dunno.

A quick search on youtube showed one movie of exact thing you are describing. The game has potential as far as I can see but looks indeed terribly in alpha mode. Neverless, game development is never a easy thing. Especially when you do it as a fan with few friends or so.

Looking forward to future dev, just like Age of Ethanols.
