It's got Yukari's ribbons on the ends too.

Thank you for confirming it and making sure it was not just me WANTING to see a gap.  XD

If Sumireko sent her occult balls in Gensokyo from time to time, maybe one of them got swapped with the lunar capital orb at some point in time inside of Gensokyo. Sudden rumors about the moon landing hoax suddenly spreading sound rather weird too, since only "someone" who knows of both the moon landing and the moon landing hoax could spread it. Maybe there is some kind of "third party" involved this time ? I mean, the lunar capital orb had to end in Gensokyo in one way or another or be brought there...

some spaceship.
I'm about 90% certain that's the Solvalou, the player ship from Xevious, which was basically the second huge shmup that caught on after Space Invaders.

Wasn't Yukari the one who tried to invade the moon before? Maybe, since I'd assume she know about Sumireko trying to break into Gensokyo being the youkai of boundaries and all (or Maribel-Renko theories), she used that as a chance to switch the moon capital power stone to make travel there easier, someone caught wind of her scheme, and that set off this lunar invasion.

If something like that is the case then maybe this is ZUN's way of expanding on Yukari's backstory (rather than Sakuya's who I feel should be in the game somewhere...)

The only way I can see Sakuya's backstory or anything about her being linked to this game is if one of the bosses has an ability similar to her, like speeding up time using some sort of watch-device. Something that would connect her to the lunarian theory would be neat.

Without wanting to read too much into the circle cut, it does give you ideas. Like with Sumireko being from the present and Renko being somehow related from the future, and the Lunar Orb further being connected to that. The titular Ultramarine Orb (is that the same thing as the Lunar Orb?) allowing one to remember any detail from the past. Yukari's moon excursion through gaps in Silent Sinner in Blue. Kaguya having time control abilities. The Pointdevice mode allowing you to peek into the future.

There's a bunch of loose ends about time travel, but not enough for me to speculate. I mean, ZUN tends to improvise and bounce around with the settings, but this time around there's really the feeling of a story arc that even shows up through his sketches.

(Uh, or it's just ZUN's way of saying "here's to Touhou continuing into the foreseeable future".)

(is that the same thing as the Lunar Orb?)

If by "Lunar Orb" you mean the Lunar Capital's Occult Ball, then no, they are two different things. The Ultramarine Orb is the drug that Eirin gave the protagonists, the one that allows Pointdevice Mode to work.

Yo guys, I have been hearing rumors about LoLK being possibly released at Comiket 88 which is in August. That would mean that this game would be released more or less in a month if ZUN douse release it then. Hype?!  :V

I'm worried that if ZUN douse try and rush this game to meet that deadline like the one with the demo at Reitaisai that we might get a game that would need some polish or possibly be incomplete. Good games need time, especially if your fiddling around with new game mechanics like point device mode (yes, I know about after release patching like AAA game studios are doing nowadays, but come on that's lame).

Looking forward to the new music, the outcome of the story, the new characters and the new increased challenge! I am liking how the demo was going  :3

Which is usually when the final products are released if you are aware of the previous games' release patterns.

ZUN has pushed things forward for needing more work in the past, there is no reason to believe he would release a rushed, unfinished product now.

ZUN's been tweeting a bit more about LoLK's development recently.

Quote from: ZUN
Looks like Windows Update started running while I was away from the computer. When I got back, there was a Purple Screen of Death instead of a blue one.
Works just fine after restarting, though. Eh.
I'll take it as a sign that I should tackle the last of the development pronto!
Quote from: ZUN
Whew, submitted the printed matter. Time to charge through the rest of development!
The timing of Windows 10's release was near-fatal, what with having to write the compatible OSes on the cover.

"Printed matter" probably refers to the CD labels, as was the case with Reitaisai's demo release.
Most of the web demos since MoF (save for TD, the outlier) have been released in the latter half of July, so one would guess the LoLK demo and CD cover will be posted real soon. (woo!!)



I only just noticed this, but Reisen's unfocused shot has the same name as Seiran's final card ("Lunatic Gun" / ルナティックガン). They even kinda look the same. I had thought the card was Seiran's own, but it's probably just the rabbits' standard-issue gun as depicted within the Spell Card system. That's neat.

ZUN decided to put silhouette on Hard Mode. I cannot tell what is what, and the silhouette is cut off.

Well, from the silhouette, it looks like there's no skirt/dress, so it's probably not Mima or Maribel.

Looks like you fight a boss in the Luna City itself who has mini-yin yang orbs. Maybe one of the sisters?

Seems like she's holding 2 (flaming?) swords.
The thing in the mid-low part could be a tail or a floating piece of cloth.

The hat seems conical (like Mima's!!11!!!1), reminds me of those hats you see in movies about safari, but with a bow/ribbon like that in Marisa's hat.

Well, from the silhouette, it looks like there's no skirt/dress, so it's probably not Mima or Maribel.

I thought the same, but maybe that thing is some sort of pillar she's sitting on, with crossed legs (it would be weird to see though).

... Really? Two flaming swords?

How are you all seeing this stuff? These silhouettes are like the Rorschach test of the WTC. 

In any event, yeah, the bullet patterns look pretty uh challenging. Can anyone translate what Sanae is saying here?

Thank you! I must say this silhouette's the most confusing one I've seen to date. That, and to think those spellcards screenshotted are on normal mode. Yeesh.
