Didn't see a thread for this yet, so making one (it is on the grand fangame list already though) Seems to be a new Touhou fangame in development by the team producing SSS. Translated announcement blurb: --- Quote ---The Gensokyo in early winter has encountered a mysterious cold breeze, and all the humans and youkai have suddenly lost the ability to use and control magic and power. At the same time, an unimaginable snowstorm has descended on Gensokyo. On the snowy ground blossoms innumerable icy crystal lotuses, as if they were from the abyss. The inability to channel magic has caused an enormous catastrophe. The Great Barrier cannot be maintained, and will shatter soon. An incident rocking the roots of Gensokyo has begun! Faced with an incident of never-seen-before proportions, the lower class youkai are completely clueless, and the upper class youkai believe the fate of Gensokyo cannot be changed and the Barrier will shatter, so why not, before Gensokyo arrives in the outside world, take advantage of time and prepare well by staking out positions in the new environment? Such a situation is frightening indeed. But, even in the most dangerous hour, there are some who have not given up their last ounces of determination. The sages of Gensokyo have gathered and formed a consensus. In a challenging time where no one can use their individual powers, they have to use all resources at their disposal and find the mastermind as soon as possible to save the Gensokyo bordering on doom. Every second matters. Are you ready? --- End quote --- Preview videos: * Nov 2017 (Stage 1 + Boss 1, Sanae shot): https://www.bilibili.com/video/av16461198 * Mar 2018 (Boss 2, Sanae shot): https://www.bilibili.com/video/av21379275 * Jun 2018 (Boss 3, Sanae shot): https://www.bilibili.com/video/av25847191 * Jul 2018 (Stage 3 + Boss 3, Reimu shot): https://www.bilibili.com/video/av27647409 * Aug 2018 (Stage 2 + Boss 2, Yukari shot): https://www.bilibili.com/video/av28597374 Thoughts: * Seems like the same engine in use as SSS and Barrage Musical, which is good. One of the best performing fangame engines out there (not that FDF and Danmakufu ph3 are very high bars to beat in performance, but at least I can run SSS and Barrage Musical at full framerate, like the main series Touhou games...) * Seems like there aren't any bombs nor power levels, only the release-ish meter on the bottom left that you fill with cancels. * Music style seems like a departure from SSS and Barrage Musical but still similar in some ways. Did they get a new composer? |

The last programmer (for RSS and BM) has left for his own game , so the team use unity for ASL. Playing at full framerate will be OK. But it may have some frameskip, depending on your graphic card's performance. New composer? No, he just leveled up. :V |
| Fulisha of Light:
Is that first boss' name literally Shekle? lol :V Game looks neat so far though, I'm in love with those backgrounds~ |
| williewillus:
Ah, so the engine did change? That's unfortunate, the SSS/BM engine felt really good to play on (also, forgiving hitboxes...). Best wishes to the departing programmer though, look forward to the sequel to BM Edit: Also, really liking the boss theme in the third video. I guess this game is gonna be winter-based huh? Is the team going to make one for all four seasons? :P |
| Shizzo:
The danmaku looks a lot different from the SSS style, I guess they're aiming more for a Phantasmagoria-Trues type of vibe as opposed to SSS' more touhou-style patterns. Still, the game looks and sounds awesome, I'm looking forward to it! |
