I don’t think it’s a secret I have a fascination with Mima. The fact she was such a key part of the franchise and just fell off the map never fails to stir my fascination. But my boys Juunimeta and Eulogous have expanded that interest into the general 98 era. If I did a fan game, it’d probably be based on that part of the history. There’s a $5 game on Steam I can’t remember the name of. The premise is simple; you play as the Devil who has purchased a rundown apartment block. You attract various monsters to live in your apartments, keep them happy and use them to fight adventurers and heroes come to loot your stuff. I think a concept like that would fit Touhou well. Imagine playing as a vengeful Mima come back into Gensokyo to rescue your apprentice from the evil shrine maiden who has bewitched her with concepts like ‘friendship’ and ‘Youkai are bad, m’kay?’ You would go through a series of stages you could customize for a sidescrolling dungeon, and populate it with various types of ghosts, youkai and demons to defend it. Some could work well together, while other types hate each other. You could customize rooms to optimize your monster choice or throw in traps. Cast spells to give minions an edge. Recruit various characters from the PC-98 and Windows era as a dungeon boss, all as various heroines or generic fantasy characters fight their way into your dungeon. With the end goal of traversing the levels and making a dungeon so deadly, it takes down Reimu herself. All to bathe the land in darkness and rescue your surrogate daughter. Juuni, Eulo and I were chatting the other week over what Yumeko would look like were she reintroduced. The idea gave me a concept for a 98-focused RPG adventure. Yumeko the Sword-Maid wakes up in a world I can only describe as ‘the dimension of irrelevance’. In this strange new world, you have to recruit allies like Elly, Gengetsu and Satsuki, marching your way through a dull hellscape to try to find your way back to Gensokyo. The only way back is the Yin-Yang orb, which Mima tells you can grant wishes. Would probably put a lot of focus on character-interactions, maybe with a morality system which affects the ending. For instance, if you ignore Mima, she decides to become the god of this new world. If you have high affinity and low morality with her, she may choose to train you as her shrine maiden. Or if you have high affinity and high morality, she will use her wish to see Marisa one last time to say good-bye.

Was away for a Touhou Fangame Jam, time to catch up on things around here.

Mine is pretty dumb tbh. I kept hearing "Korosu" in anime and knew it translated to "kill" or "to kill". Thought it was a cool sounding word and at the time I didn't bother looking up the proper way of spelling it and instead spelled it how I thought it was pronounced but since the name "Koros" was taken I just added another one, hence my username.

Wolf girl clause Day 56: Momiji Inubashiri talk about her in canon. Her in canon is an acquaintance to aya that may be feuding with, and is our kinda “average wolf tengu.” Now, this is serviceable for a character, albeit plain and boring, but will work fine. However, let’s talk about fanon Momiji. Fanon Momiji got incredibly weird, as she divided into two distinct interpretations. The first, I can’t talk about due to it encapsulating a risqué topic, but the gist is she got hit with the punishment all wolf girls get. She also got so much yuri stuff with aya, despite their relationship never being stated to be good. The other interpretation is one that I love and hope becomes the canon, which is Momiji being a significant figure for the wolf tengu, maybe as a guard or patrol captain. This could make her a lens into the wolf tengu, which would be great as we don’t know much about wolf tengu. Her relationship with aya could be a rivalry or something, as we can establish the pecking order with Momiji, and generally have her be our deep look into tengu as a whole. Momiji herself has a cool design, though simpler. Her theme is stage 4 at this point, which is an amazing ass theme. Overall, this character can go a lot of ways, and I hope it doesn’t go one of them.

It's taken from my real name which is "Moe Thae Nwe" ^^
