This is my first time to be on a forum, so I would like to say hello. I have had an idea for a touhou fangame for quite some time, but I have a few issues. I am not a good computer artist, I can't do sprite are or ZUN styled art, I don't understand how to use danmakufu well, and I am terrible at making music.
The idea behind this story came to me as I was literally sitting around one day. I had nothing to do, an suddenly thought "why not make a touhou game with a new intersting plot?" so I tried to do that. The following plot is: An industrial city has popped up in the far distance, causing the air to go bad and destroy much of gensokyo while the city rapidly expands. The 3 main characters being Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya, along with a secret character that I will not reveal, will go to stop this Industry from killing off the natural life from its expansion. I realize how "Eco-friendly" it may sound, but its far from it...kinda.
I already as well have some characters thought up, but its not a full cast. What I have so far is (in stage order): 1st stage being a Lantern Tsukumogami. The idea behind the stage 1 boss came to me when I saw the old fashioned candle light lanterns. Stage 2 N/A, stage 3 N/A, Stage 4 being a Gypsy of Greed and Wind. This idea came to me from learning about how some gypsies greedy, and how they traveled a lot. The reason why I chose wind for her is because her being a traveler who go's by swiftly, and sometimes powerfully! Stage 5 is a well known character, Nitori. In the back story behind the game, Nitori had originally created what is to be the final boss as a helper to the kappa's. She had plans to do a more smaller version of what the final boss did, and lost the plans when the final boss...well...not ruining the whole story now. The final boss is, as I said, a automaton created by Nitori. She is the mother of the 1st stage boss (in back story said in story mode) and wanted to use the plans to make the land a place for herself, the daughter, and the gypsy (in back story during story). Finally, I made the extra stage boss an Elf. Not the short cute ones we know, but an older figure, like Yukari. She has a power of mental control, causing people to sometimes do something weird. No she wont do that during game-play, otherwise that would be cheap. She does dwell in the past a little, and so she has learned to use fire to her advantage as well.
As I had said earlier, I am not good with music or music making, so I would need help with that and the art/sprite art. I also wish to do the game on danmakufu, but the only problems I have are a half working computer screen, lack of knowledge on how to make these types of games, and the lack of experience of music making in general. I am able to make a dialogue and story though, so that wont be an issue.
If anyone would please help, I would gratefully appreciate it. Thank you
