Playism poll: which Touhou derivative games do you want to see?
mauve:
Also this vote thing is really strange to me. Do they honestly have no idea what fans would want?
Bear in mind, they say nothing about English. And there is no way in hell ULiL is gonna be in English, because it has ZUN dialogue.
This honestly strange approach to publishing feels like it's kinda going to hurt the chances of some of my favorites, even if they were on such a list.

Pools are good for publicity.

Josh Weatherford, one of the founders of Playism had left Playism this March. I don't know anything about the inner workings of AGM (the parent company), so I have no idea if his leaving has any effect on how Playism is handling Touhou at the moment.

For less than one day.
And then ZUN's "no selling Touhou stuff on English stores" rule came out of nowhere.

For posterity's sake, can you someday give us an account of the events surrounding the English release? I'm not asking you to disclose things you are not supposed to, just some clarification on info that used to be publicly available, and is becoming exceedingly difficult to find out.

They translated Takkoman, but a full RPG is probably beyond the scope of what they're willing to do. My assumption is that the extra options they added were the top 3 write-in votes, and they just added them out of curiosity more than anything else. The original batch is what they were thinking of beforehand.
And, yes, ULiL probably wouldn't be translated.
