Bird who shows up like one or two times and never again Day 3: Tokiko Tokiko is a less existing character than Reisen II, but at she’s a neat enough concept. I feel she should show up more with rinnosuke to give her some character, and I feel she could do some neat stuff with that. Unfortunately, she’s unnamed and only gets fanon stuff, most of which aren’t notable and not too major to note. Kind of a shame, with her having potential to at least be a satisfying bit part character.

I like the idea of Tokiko, a Youkai interested in reading human books. That could be used in a neat way, like you could've had something done with her and Kosuzu at Suzunaan with the whole "Are Youkai that bad?" question Kosuzu poses to Akyuu in FS. Heck, you could even have her be interested in getting into the Great Library to do some reading, have some interactions there with Patchouli. Why does she read? Is it a hobby? The questions a character like this brings up is really cool, but... She exists to get beaten up and robbed by Reimu in canon. I dunno, when you introduce a character and have their sole existence being to get assaulted and robbed, have them rightfully get upset and demand their stuff back, only to get beaten up again by Marisa and it all being treated as a funi, you make me kinda despise the main characters and feel bad for Tokiko.

I honestly keep forgetting about her name, let alone her existence, which is a shame since she could have a more important role in the print works but alas that'll never happen. What a shame.

Next time I have to explain to someone what Touhou is I'm just gonna show them this thread

Satori is partially guilty of the incident for not controlling well her pet Okuu becoming a living nuclear reactor, in the good ending of Marisa/Patchouli they say this: Patchouli: "None of this would have happened if the Palace of Earth Spirits would take proper care of their pets" Good point, it is too friendly. You made me laugh a lot with the "Reimers" Great example with Okuu, it nails the balance of complexity and simplicity. Sumireko's design is definitively overloaded.

Satori? What did she do? Pretty sure Okuu would be considered the antagonist in that story, and even then, Kanako was effectively the reason why SA happened. That's the word, right there: "Befriended". There should've been more time to build up a friendship before you have a character refer to Reimu as "Reimers". Again, I don't have a problem with the end result, it just feels like we fast-forwarded ahead to the conclusion. The solid red looks way better on her sprite (rip dress pattern tho). My problem is mainly that you have an intricate pattern on her outfit, then and intricate pattern on the interior of her cape, and it you have both competing to draw the viewer's eye at once. I'll use Okuu as an example of why her cape works with her design: Her outfit is composed of flat colors, so her cape interior has a ton of contrast with it. Sumireko just sticking with the inverse of that visual design philosophy of plain cape and intricate outfit pattern would've worked pretty well. Utsuho Sprites for References:

This is definitely the character of all time Day 2: Reisen II Reisen really just never does anything notable. To me, she only exists to pad out the personalities of the lunarians by painting them as more insane. She replaced Udonge after she deserted, and this Reisen became her replacement, because the watatsukis couldn’t deal with losing udonge and just replaced her like it never happened. This ends up with a character that never really matters, not doing too much in her book and never showing up again. Reisen II is the most nothing character in the series, as she has barely any personality given to her in her book too. Overall, Reisen II was used to pad out another characters lore and lost all of her interesting stuff because of it. I wish she got any chance to do something, but we also haven’t dealt with the moon since 2015, so I don’t think she’ll be able to be relevant for a long time.

Alright, let's see how this works. There have been quite a lot of updates and additions when it comes to fan games and whatnot on this site since the beginning of this year. I'll try to list them all here. Downloads fixed/updated: New downloads: Fixed downloads for albums: New albums: Also, on another note, the tutorial on how to set up Neko Project 2 has been fixed. The Images have been added back in. In addition, the emulator didn't have a FONT.ROM file, which might be required for some to display text properly ingame. The file as been added into the archive that has the emulator.

You know, I've been feeling out of touch with Touhou lately as well, in terms of canon I think I just stopped paying attention it and just stared to enjoy the series for it's characters, I'm not much of a lore expert but even I must admit that I'm barely invested in it nowadays since I care more about imagining my version of gensokyo, again I'm just in it for the characters and art, I honesty wish I could create some stories of my own one day, I'm just a secondary fan since I mainly engage in fan works and would like to make my own but even then I haven't figured it out myself. Now I hate talking about this but with the amount of lewd art I've seen makes me feel like I've sort of become this degenerate just by looking at it and I hate it, I feel like I've lost touch with not only myself but with reality as well. I feel like I've corrupted my enjoyment of the series to the point where I'm paranoid to the point where I would be shamed by others for my enjoyment of the series, I.E. if someone called me a degenerate if I enjoyed this thing that is looked down upon or to a lesser degree receive disapproval or shame from members of the touhou community either because I said or made something controversial, at this point I can't tell if I'm just afraid of my downfall or I'm just overthinking shit. I know this isn't healthy to think about and at this point I've just been wondering if I should just take a brake from this community or just Touhou entirely. It just hurts known what joy I had is slowly dwindling into misery and I have been trying improve my life but as always there's gotta be something to fuck my shit up. Ah, but do I know, at this point I'm still struggling with a bunch of things I don't want to be dealing with.
