Lunatic_Reimu: --- Quote from: Dreamleaf on May 02, 2019, 01:46:26 AM ---I think it says so much when you see how much passion and love goes into some of these fanworks. I'm right there with you in wanting to learn how to draw so you could bring some of your ideas to life, and also with you in simply not having enough time XD I have way too many hobbies for my own good. Still, even just putting on some Touhou music and looking at some of the art others have made can be a wonderful way to just become immersed in the characters and world. My Touhou wallpaper folder currently has over several thousand images right now and that's just the ones I felt were worth using so I definitely have a sense of what you mean when you mention just how much content is actually out there. Don't even get me started on the music as there is an absolutely insane amount of remixes and covers for this series. Maybe more then I've ever seen 1 single series have. Oh and just to give you an idea of what Miyuki Ruria's stuff is like: https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=23969348 https://66.media.tumblr.com/5ec834e41176cc2a10acdbb2033484e6/tumblr_pforr4ogbW1xh9o5po1_1280.jpg I got like 6 of his Touhou art books and trust me when I say I had to bend over to get them but totally worth it XD His work is nothing short of stunning imo. Easily my favorite Touhou artist, although I'll admit there's several others that come pretty close too. I'll definitely check out the Touhoumon at some point! I didn't even know that was a thing but I can't say I'm surprised either. I swear there's probably enough Touhou content out there to easily last a life time if you wanted. As it is I'm still struggling to get around to playing the fighting and camera game spinoffs as well as reading more of the printed works lol. It doesn't help that I'm such a late comer to this series. It makes me smile knowing that this series which has had such a drastic impact on me is also so loved and appreciated by others too, it absolutely deserves it and it really does make me wish I could find a way to channel and express my love for the series the same way some of these artists and game makers and musicians have. --- End quote --- Yes definitely agree with you there about the love and passion that goes into all the fan works. It truly shows that these people are doing it simply out of pure love for the series rather than financial gain (besides, to continue amplifying this point, some fan stuff is free like the Touhoumon patches for example, some remixed/arranged music on niconico, fan art on sites like Pixiv, so that purely is just to share and give back something to the Touhou community without expecting anything back in return). Haha glad to hear you share my passion in wishing to draw also :) maybe there will be another 2 artists to continue contributing to the Touhou community in the future ;) Yes listening to some beautiful arranges while viewing Touhou art is truly a way to give the characters more 'character' I guess, see what the Touhou cast is up to when they're not busy dodging bullets :P Same here with the thousands of images, that art is simply to die for. Yes I agree with you about an insane amount of remixed music, and also art, I've never seen a series with such a huge fanbase before, which truly goes to show how many hearts Touhou has touched since it started :) Ahhh, that's some nice art by Miyuki Ruria, thanks for pointing this artist out! I especially love the Ran and Rin pics with their bullets around them. I love representations of the games' attacks done in an anime art style. Well done, and keep it up with the collection :D On a side note, you've got quite a beautiful Alice avatar, any idea who that artist is? You definitely should about Touhoumon, I love them, as we said above, so much love went into making those games, and so many things to appreciate in them, with the GBA styled music and everything! (chibi sprites are so cute too xD) True that about so much content that it could last a lifetime, since I discovered Touhou 5 years ago I literally went Touhou exclusive, all I play are the official Touhou games and Touhou fangames, and after 5 years, I feel like I barely scratched the surface with sooooo much content available! Unfortunately, yes, I also understand what you mean about being a late comer to the series :( My only wish is that I discovered this wonderful world 15 years ago rather than having such a huge backlog to try catching up with. Same here, it definitely is nice knowing that others feel the same way about this magical series, it was life changing for me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one on these forums that feels the same way. I too would wish to draw to be able to give something back to this wonderful community, I'm by no means a developer or a musician, so that's out of the picture, but drawing I could pull off (especially on a pc rather than paper, you make a mistake just CTRL+Z or delete that layer :P). Well these posts went a bit off topic from what you originally started it off with with your first Lunatic 1cc, so, which game are you working on to 1cc now?

Dreamleaf: --- Quote from: Mikuru on May 02, 2019, 08:45:22 PM ---Mountain of Faith, for several reasons. It was the first Touhou I ever played, and it's still the one I know my way around best. It's the one I'm closest to getting -- I've previously reached the final boss on a credit; my furthest progress in other games is Stage 5 (IN and HSIFS). And I love the music enough to keep me going through the 1cc grind. --- End quote --- Ah that seems like a good choice. It's one of my potential candidates for my next lunatic 1cc myself. Mind you I still haven't even completed a hard mode in Mountain of Faith. --- Quote from: Lunatic_Reimu on May 04, 2019, 12:21:24 PM ---Yes definitely agree with you there about the love and passion that goes into all the fan works.

I literally don't know anyone who plays these kind of games off the internet so it's easy for me to start going off on tangents with this series talking here  :D That's how I see myself most likely in 5 years from now, still obsessed with this series and still feeling like I've only just scratched the surface only wishing I had found it earlier >.> I'm still working on getting around to the spinoff games as well as other fandom ones but I promise I'll bump the Touhoumon to the top of that list when I do! There's something about Touhou and bullet hells which really just lets me imagine these fights playing out as if they were in an anime or even real life that I absolutely love. It's like something in my imagination just clicks and you can just see the patterns as if they were real attacks.  I don't know offhand on the icon avi I'm afraid X3 I found an icon for it saved in my pictures and thought it would be nice to use though. As for what I've been working on I mainly just have been plucking some normal 1ccs out of the way the last few days. I now have every normal character/shot type in 6-9 including the singles in Imperishable Nights as well as Eiki and Komachi in Phantasmagoria of Flower View. This weekend so far I've been working on Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom Point Device hard mode with Reimu. Progress is.... slow but progress nonetheless. I also started practicing with the extra stage in 15 as well, and I can tell unlike in 9's extra I won't be able to beat this one in a single night.

Here?s to hoping you will still be obsessed with series come another 5 years! xD Yeah time is an issue for everyone to try keeping up with everything. I think the best way would be pairing it up, but this will slow down the rate at which you?ll clear the official games. That?s how I go about it usually, I?ll have an official Touhou as my main game which I?m hitting challenges on, and a fangame to serve as a breaker. Oh yeah btw, Touhoumon goes by another name called Touhou Puppet Play, just giving you a heads up cause even the wiki page is called Touhou Puppet Play. Dood, I completely understand what you mean, a boss battle in Touhou in my eyes is like watching an ultra-epic fight in a superpower fighting anime like Dragon Ball! Makes it soooo much more immersive feeling like the attacks are real as you?re stating :) Keep it up, you?ve got quite a devotion to the series from the sound of it :) Noooo, such a beautiful art style too :?( Guess it's gonna end up as a sleepless night hunting around danbooru through thousands of Alice pics till I find it xD Definitely a nice picture, you?ve got a few artists which I?ve never heard of which are really good! That?s quite some good progress you got there, well done. I noticed you just mentioned the Windows games, I would recommend that you don?t overlook the PC-98 ones, they?re awesome, especially Touhou 2 and Touhou 5. Touhou 2 is iconic for me cause it?s the first time Reimu and Marisa face off against each other :) The start of a beautiful friendship/rivalry. Ahh, I heard that Touhou 15 isn?t on the easy side, so, best of luck with the Extra! :D

I do sprinkle in the odd thing though, like I've read most of Forbidden Scrollery, I've caught up on the fanmade anime (the Fantasy Kaleidoscope one) and I have played HRtP as well as PoDD, though for some reason I've had trouble getting 2, 4 and 5 to work, but I've been meaning to eventually sit down and give them a proper try, same with the official spinoff games. I'm excited to see how they handle the bullet hell aspect in the fighting games. Seems like it could be interesting. There's so much to go through I feel I should really start keeping a list of things I need to check out XD Oh and we got another game coming out now lol. I played a good chunk of HRtP and was working on a 1cc but after a while I decided I needed a break from getting killed by my own weapon repeatedly >.> Here I was able to find the picture on my PC (I'm afraid I don't know the artist though). I just uploaded it onto imgur for you https://imgur.com/a/TqLe66E  :) Threw in a few other extra really nice ones for you too in case there's any of them you haven't seen yet! I've only made a bit of progress on the 15 extra credit, mainly because I spent such a good chunk of time working on the hard point device for Reimu in LoLK. This game can be absolutely ridiculously difficult at times. Especially with the point device mode but I also feel it's a good one to play to help sharpen your skills since I almost always feel like it's pushing me to my current limits. 15 is definitely the hardest of the ones I've played, mind you I still haven't played tons of SA and UFO beyond easy mode so I'm curious to see how those two stack up since I know they're considered some of the harder games in general. I've heard as far as extra stage bosses go Koishi from SA is suppose to be absolutely brutal too. Edit: I managed to clear LoLK hard mode point device on Reimu :)

Edit: I managed to clear LoLK hard mode point device on Reimu :) --- End quote --- Ahh ok, we play the games differently, I just stick to 1 official game and work my way up from Easy to Lunatic, and switch to the next game once Lunatic and Extra are complete. I find that it helps building up the difficulties like that cause by the time I get to Lunatic I would have gotten used to the stages and spell cards since I went through an easier version of them on Easy/Normal and mostly Hard. Ahh the Fantasy Kaleidoscope anime is brilliant. I saw the first 4 episodes (PCB and EoSD) and they?re done soooo well! So much love went into that project! That?s weird that Touhou 1 and 3 worked fine for you but 2, 4, and 5 gave you trouble :/ What emulator are you using? I used to use Anex on my old laptop but use T-98 Next on my new pc. I highly recommend T-98, has a wider range of instruments and gives more life to the music. Lol haha I completely know what you mean about getting killed by your own weapon in Touhou 1, brings back memories lol. You?ll get used to more control of the Yin Yan g orb though the more you play. Utilize the slide a lot, it really helps to avoid getting killed by your own orb. WOW dood, just wow. That?s some beautiful art you?ve got there. Well done. I saw a couple of them before, but there are definitely new ones which I?ve never seen which are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for these! I?ll definitely save them when I get home! Ahh yeah, that happens to me too, usually I pair up the Extra with Lunatic to serve as my breaker, and I notice little progress gets done on Lunatic till I actually clear the Extra. I?ve heard of Touhou 15 being very difficult from another user. I haven?t experienced it yet myself though so I can?t judge. Yes Touhou 11 and 12 are known to be some of the hardest games in the series! And Koishi. . . well let?s just say I started playing Touhou once I stumbled upon her boss fight on Youtube over 5 years ago before I even knew what Touhou was. I was simply in awe watching it, and thought to myself ?that looks ridiculously difficult, I don?t think I could beat that game. . .? and that?s how I started searching up on Touhou and just fell in love with this marvelous wonderful world xD Well done on the Hard Touhou 15 clear btw ;) Keep it up! Getting some good progress in :)
