| On the 'split' in RaNGE regarding non-Touhou fan games |

You're negatively impacting our developers this way. I stand with Sparen on this issue. --- End quote --- So you're saying I should be able to post some kind of Pokemon fangame within RaNGE, or a completely original non-shmup game? Remember, we are a Touhou forum, and content pertaining to non-Touhou games has its place(s), RaNGE should not be one of them. That's for fan-creations of Touhou games. --- Quote from: Delfigamer on August 22, 2017, 03:17:09 AM ---I think it would be much more productive if instead of "you don't belong here" you said "here is a link to a place that will give you much more audience than MotK could ever do" (with "a link" being an actual link to an actual website, of course). --- End quote --- Frankly, I don't know what you'd expect posting a non-Touhou game in a Touhou forum in the first place. The issue mostly underlies with the fact that Sparen and Gusano both have games inspired by Touhou, but aren't Touhou games, despite having made Touhou fan-creations. The issue is where do we draw the line? As I mentioned earlier, there are other, potentially better, mediums for non-Touhou projects than RaNGE, but simply put, they don't belong in RaNGE. |

If you ask me, a game with an original setting but clearly intended to have gameplay near-identical to Touhou's (as opposed to a game that just coincidentally happens to play similarly) should count as a Touhou fangame. If it doesn't, then I guess it's time to purge all those Danmakufu scripts about non-Touhou characters! I think the real question here is one of identity: should MotK be strictly a Touhou board, or should derivatives like Len'en be given a place? Whatever decision is made, it should be applied consistently across the whole board, not just RaNGE. Moving all these threads to Akyu's Arcade more or less banishes them to being obscured forever by the bigger threads there. Maybe if it is decided that they won't be allowed on the main boards, a subforum for people to discuss their own projects in Akyu's could be appropriate? |

We're discussing this issue at present and will let you all know when a conclusion has been reached. o/ Sorry for letting this thread sit in silence in the meantime. |

I do want to note: It wasn't really left in silence. But I can understand that if no moderator responds it might look like it. I was highly aware of this thread and initially held my post as I was hoping for opinions and replies from forum members so we can discuss it also together. Until yesterday there was none and PM'd Sparen that I am aware of his post. Very relieved and happy to see people are replying here. As main moderator of RikaNitori, I've in fact thought about Sparen's post for past two days. It seems I have also some reading to do based on the new replies. Also I'll exchange my thoughts with the staff and come with a initial reply tonight or tomorrow morning. I am quite sure that my post will be a fitting solution for us all. |

In my opinion, Akyu's Arcade is for games we are playing, not games we are making. |
