Not at all, you can still participate.

Due to the lead that LLK has taken, the poll has been called, and the contest is ready to start.

Greetings Shrine Denizens! We're making changes to expand the scope of our Touhou Official Games Contest to encourage more entries. Please check the following post for more information on rewards. On another note, if you wish to participate, don't keep us in the dark until you're ready to submit! We now require a minimum amount of applicants before we may give rewards. Apply early, and practice well, SAVE THOSE REPLAYS (and remember to use your name here or on Discord!), and submit your best.. Good luck, and Have fun! Our rules of submission have been changed! We now have rewards for each difficulty. In light of this, we will have the contest split into four tiers (Easy, Normal, Hard, Lunatic), and we are allowing for applying for more than one, however, you may only win one difficulty's rewards. This DOES include Easy mode, so don't feel intimidated, just do your best! We're going to be sticking with Legacy mode with the game. (yes this has been edited/changed a couple of times, since I haven't played this game and am relying on others to know the difference between modes) Winners will be chosen based on bomb and life count. With total high score from all stages being the tiebreaker. So basically, lives > bombs > score. The rewards for each tier are listed as follows: All rewards will be delivered via Steam credit, Humble Bundle games OR PayPal of the indicated value. Easy - $5 Normal - $15 Hard - $25 Lunatic - $50 Those that have already submitted, you have the option to stay within the hard tier OR submit another within the other tiers. CURRENT SUBMISSIONS (life count, bomb count, total score) =========================== PLEASE SEE FORUM INDEX PAGE FOR CURRENT SUBMISSIONS With these recent changes, we have also extended the contest to March 30th.

I should probably give my own story. Which starts with this video: It was my first year of college, and the internet (and especially countdown videos) led me to learning of all sorts of games that I had never heard of before. I've always had a preference for video game soundtracks, and this was one that I found and came back to a couple of times. Once, I noticed a similarly drawn Flandre over to the side, realized it was probably more from the same series and listened to it. Then there was a ton of different versions of U.N. Owen in the recommended videos, making me more curious about the actual series these pieces came from. Now, I was 18/19 around this time and didn't really understand much about the game industry, and once I found some gameplay on Youtube, I actually thought it was just a browser game(s) that had a rediculously large/active fanbase. I went looking for it, and eventually found Ace's site before Moriya shrine. I was hesitant to actually download the games, but eventually my curiosity got the better of me, and I started with EoSD, SWR, and Koumajou Densetsu, and Senguko Gensokyo soon after. I loved each soundtrack (of course), but SWR and Sengoku Gensokyo gave me a love for the characters. I spent a year or so as an anonymouse lurker, but eventually joined the very first forum. And I'm still around, funny how it all worked out.

How did we all first find Touhou, and get involved with this fanbase? It seems to me that there's isn't quite a normal path that people take in this regard.

That's . . . actually a little creepy . . . So let's throw this in here instead.

For the sake of the (handful of) people who were here already, the rules have been adjust to reflect the move from the Proboards forum (where the list was from originally) to our own place.
