Playism poll: which Touhou derivative games do you want to see?
cuc:
On this day (May 19 in Japan), Playism English has started a poll about your wishes for non-mainline Touhou games:
http://playism-games.com/article/touhou-derivatives-what-would-you-like-to-see
They claim the poll is used for collecting fan wishes. On one hand, they do not guarantee their list of prospective games will be published (however, it should be a list they are confident about); the other hand, you can suggest any game you wanted.
The list they provided is:

Leon゠Helsing:
Looks like you can only vote for 3 games maximum.
Anyway, I voted for ULiL, Scarlet Symphony, and Adventures of Scarlet Curiosity. Kinda hoping that if Koumajou Densetsu is relatively successful in the west Frontier Aja would at least consider a third title.
Drake:
NSML is pretty much necessary.
Koumajou I is kinda poop and the main reason I'd vote for it is to then bring in Koumajou II which is basically god-tier of Touhou fangames. The team in Aja that developed it has since fractured though, so I'm not sure what that would entail for getting it pushed.
(Also, keenly noted that ULiL is in a list of so-called "derivatives")

The game technically belongs to Tasofro, and should be part of Playism's negotiation with Tasofro. This is evidenced by the list grouping it together with NSML.
From Playism's business perspective, this difference is much more fundamental than issues of canonicity. However it may also be something that they themselves are confused about. They are calling it a poll for "derivative" and "non-mainline" games, when in reality the criterion here is neither "a fan game" nor "a non-integer Touhou game", but rather "games not developed by ZUN".
Drake:
Indeed, I should have caught that.
