※How to make Touhou derived work - Doujin & ZUN's Touhou guidelines
Drake:
A publishing deal would result in commercial sales, but that wouldn't make it an official game. For example, the works in the Play,Doujin! initiative are being published, but they still aren't official games (besides ULiL).

Searching in my email I can find us talking about the contest but no mention of the name. I don't remember what won. I have this weird hunch it might have been Superfight

@Drake
Oh, okay. Now I undrestand it fully. Thanks.
Spacechurro:
I'm not entirely sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but it seems about closest than anything else, and I didn't want to make an entire new topic so...
I was wondering if it was discouraged to make a game from Danmakufu that plays the same as Touhou, but contain no Touhou characters, and is just it's own story. Would that be considered stealing a game mechanic, or abusing the program to use to make my own game? No publishing, or payment.
Also, this is more of a personal question, but using my own characters wouldn't make everyone hate it, or angry, right?
I'm having a hard time explaining my question, so I hope you guys understand it.
Romantique Tp:
Of course you're not obligated to make it a Touhou fangame. It's the same as any other free engine. Many games made with Danmakufu have original stories and characters.
