ARCardiaZero This is a mobile app that used AR technology on specific cards produced by Scarlet Agents. Now, neetpia's app trailer reports this app was supposed to release on August 14th, 2016 for both Android and iOS. However, it has been taken off from the Google Play Store, likely because when the app was released, it was called "ARCardiaZero" to reference being a beta version according to Scarlet Agents's Twitter post. Yet, no farther developments or updates on this app were mentioned after this beta release from both neetpia and Scarlet Agents. This poses an issue, as while the android app's id has been found (com.Toho.ARCardiaZero), looking up this app on the usual apk websites only have entries for this app, but not downloads for this app. As for the iOS version, it seems likely it was planned to be release, but it appears the android version was released first due to Google Play Store's reduced store fees. Anyway, I leave this post with copy of ARCardiaZero's Google Play description.

For our purposes, we want to play Touhou 12.3 with every character unlocked. Now, the score file for Touhou 10.5 is not required, only a score file is needed for Touhou 12.3. Save data is stored in the Touhou 12.3 game folder as "score123.dat", so to have fully unlocked game, simply replace the file with a completed one. Here is an Internet Archive item featuring completed save files for ever Touhou Windows game.

I see that everyone else has posted long video essays in this thread, so how about I post a video that is more simpler and shorter. Presenting, a 2012 recording of a social dance event where DDRKirby(ISQ)'s remix of Lullaby of Deserted Hell, Lullaby of Flame, was played as the accompaniment music. I don't know a thing about dancing, but I can appreciate the circling movement of people as they dance in pairs. It is a bit of a hypnotic mood to see people move so wonderfully and organized without any commands or chaotic factors in the mist. I guess I was so used to seeing everything have a plan, that I forget that humanity could act out for plain fun only. In fact, I should apply that principle of enjoying without fearing the consequences more with my interactions with Touhou. Speaking of Touhou, this video made me wonder what sort of physical movements could a Touhou fan do to show they are definitely into Touhou? While I am sure there are many movements that could be copied from Touhou music videos, I'm thinking of more about the movements that could be done on the spot, without prior training, like Marisa's handling of the mini-hakkero and Chimata's dollar sign pose. It be nice to say Touhou to other people in a more sneaky fashion that both affirms the passion for Touhou, yet isn't bothersome to be done out in the open. One last thing, the social dance video made me realize something odd about the Human Village in Gensokyo. Why haven't we seen the anyone from the Human Village practice a type of art? People love Kokoro's dances, so why don't we see troupe try to mimic her routines to recreate and improve upon the art of dance? Alice's puppet shows are a hit with the children of the village, so why can't a person make a handpuppet show inspired by the seven color puppeteer? With the pull the Prismrivers pull with their concerts, why haven't we seen a small music circle practice out at daylight at daylight to remind one of a festive village? It this sort of thing that brothers me, how the Human village is more interested in consuming "media" from youkai, yet we don't see much attempt from the Human Village to recreate what they loved, and ultimately make original from. Of course, it could be intended by ZUN and the sages of Gensokyo to make the Human Village appear culturally dead and more comparable to "youkai cattle", but I really doubt any youkai has the influence to take away the ability to mimic, learn, and create art from humanity. Perhaps it be worth writing more about how some parts of the Human Village are practicing an art to add some flavor to the world of Touhou. It certainly would be good to know that the Human Village can have the same enjoyment as Youkai Mountain did with their White Water Rafting tournament. If the Youkai Mountain can host tournament on a sport despite how flying makes boating down the water mostly pointless, then I am sure the Human Village can do the same with the arts.

To be honest, all of these covers are basically the same to me. Each cover puts the logo and subtitles on the top, and leaves room for most of cover to focus on Marisa's aerial showmanship. But if had to say one comment between the covers, I note that the French version stylized the Touhou logo as "TouHou", which is a little strange, since while Touhou is written with two Japanese characters (東方), I don't believe the Touhou series has placed a strong meaning placed on the Japanese characters individually. Regardless, with the covers so similar to each other, I would suggest to buy the books based on the cheapest price. Through, there also the consideration on the quality of translation, through I am unfamiliar with any of these versions of Lotus Eaters, so I can't comment on translation quality.

東方花火祭 (Touhou Kahosai) This game has a entry on the Touhou Wiki and THB Wiki, yet outside of the fact the game released back in 2009 for ComicDive 2 and was created by the group EFZClub, there not a lot of records online about what the game is, so I decided to do some digging. According to a 2009 Chinese forum post about this game, the way the description describes the game makes it likely 東方花火祭 it is a Touhou parody of Meteos, a well-regarded matching puzzle battler game released on the Nintendo DS. As for the group, EFZClub, it appears this was a Chinese group active from 2005 - 2011, which was involved in ACG culture with a forum that discussed on topics of games, light novels, doujin, etc. There is a subforum for 東方花火祭, but unfortunately Internet Archive was unable to archive the forum posts themselves, and forum titles aren't very helpful in figuring more information about this game. Aside from that, KyoriAsh was involved in both the EFZClub forums and Touhou Wiki, being the user who created the Touhou Wiki entry for 東方花火祭 in the first place.

I'm no translator of Japanese to English, but I can point to one existing translator who specializes in Touhou fangames, HakanaiBlue. Additionally, the Touhou Wiki contains a page on Spell Cards features English translations side by side to the Japanese titles if you need some pointer on how spellcards are translated to English.

I have discovered the work the title of this Youtube video is referencing after I looked back on the earliest issues of Bunbunmaru Extra. Gensokyo TV is a short manga by Fenrizero & Habrock Starling that had three chapters published across BBEX #2 and BBEX #3, and indeed, the first chapter is about Touhoupardy.

i swag on a bag & i got that McDonalds Genre: Comedy Length: 13 Pages Release Date: April 29, 2023 (TouhouFest 2023) Language: English By: @viceseight (dicevires) Book Source: Tumblr =========================== Unlike her stints as president of the United States or as fast food employee of Burger King, this Miko is taking the responsible job of parenthood. It seems no matter where Miko goes, she finds a way to spin it to her advantage. The humor is a bit dated from being strangely focused on the latest trends, though the author has admitted that the book had to be rushed for TouhouFest 2023, with the writing taking a hit as a result. Still, getting a book printed for a Touhou convention in the United States is certainly notable considering how few physical releases occur for Touhou books within the United States. Though, it seems that TouhouFest has impacted Touhou book publishing, with 2024 having a release with Forsaken Doll's Judgment and 2025 having an upcoming release with a novella about Sumireko. It is defiantly clear with the amount of physical book releases at TouhouFest that providing a physical space for Touhou fans has allowed for new ways for Touhou fans to distribute and interact with their works.

Ichirin Goes to Burger King Genre: Shitpost Comedy Visual Novel Length: ~20 Minutes Release Date: March 7, 2022 Language: English By: GV Productions Book Source: Itch.io =========================== The humor is as expected as much as Ichirin’s orders at were at Miko. But seriously, I laughed at the visual novel with how the Touhou characters were adapted to fit with the Burger King setting and all that entails within fast food restaurants. Add in some references to memes about fast food and that humor is kept fresh for the visual novel’s short length. Before I close out my order, the visual novel’s soundtrack provided by Uchulups, deserves a good listening, especially for the track on Ichirin’s theme. It has some neo-city vibes that feels calming to listen to.

Update on 月刊ナイトバグ (Monthly Nightbug) and まんがイースタン I have decided to check on those axfc.net links again, and I have found most of the links are now able to download the files. Yep, a solution to download axfc.net is to wait, and then somehow the servers will be able to serve the files correctly? Anyway, the pdfs that I have been able to download have been archived on Internet Archive. IA: 月刊ナイトバグ (Monthly Nightbug) IA: まんがイースタン If you check out the Internet Archive links, you will also find which pdfs still need to be downloaded from axfc.net. As for the CORRUPTED notice for the last issue of 月刊ナイトバグ (May 2011), it appears that the corruption issue relates to axfc.net given that axfc.net gives a different MD5 hash on the online file info compared to the downloaded file. However, this is the first time I have encountered a file that is able to be downloaded from axfc.net that was corrupted, so hopefully this is an temporary issue.

Without having played the mod itself, or much of Minecraft for that matter, that sounds like a good chuck of content for a minor update. Good to know that v2.91 offers some form of changes. It seems you need to friend request him on a popular messaging app that is not Telegram. What app he is talking about is unknown to me, but I am sure asking for contact in the Youtube comment section should hopefully give a response.

Is there any patchnotes that might come with v2.91 that might enlighten on the differences this update did to the mod? I would hope it did more than bug fixes and server support. @themanwiththepan Comment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uebpGEAXNeQ On other news, I decided to check the comments of EP 02X and 24, and found Youtube user @themanwiththepan is claiming he has the lost episodes, at least of 02X, 24, 25. Though it seems their contact info is through a “messaging app that is not TG (Telegram).” I don’t have the patience test out messaging apps for the time being, so I leave this info for others to check into.

1) What was the best thing from the community of this year? Cirno's Bomb-Tastic Adventure by yomogi_soft. Not only is it the best Touhou puzzle game to be released on mobile devices, but it also made me get out pen and paper to solve its puzzles. Let's just say that finding out factors of numbers was not what I expected out of a Cirno fangame. 2) What changed for you within the community throughout 2024? I started to interact more with the Touhou community, which that first step was creating a Moriya Shrine account to post information about a forgotten doujin circle called Distant Union. 3) What's your contributions to Touhou? It's research into Touhou, whatever it is on unused content for Touhou fangames, investigating into old Touhou fanbooks, discovering the world of Touhou mobile games, or simply looking online on different Touhou communities. Outside of that, I decided to write about the Touhou books I been collecting and reading over the years under the thread Touhou Reading Log. 4) Why have you stayed in Touhou until today? Touhou has so many connections to other works outside of the Touhou sphere. Frankly, I am surprised at times on how other creators have been influenced by Touhou in some form will go on to create something else entirely separate from Touhou that sparks a sense of appeal. 5) Last comments of 2024 Touhou before we move towards 2025 Touhou? I didn't get around to saying what my personal wish that the Touhou community could do more in that thread, so I say it here as my final comment: the Touhou community should continue to expand its international relations. Watching the broadcast for BBEX 17 has reminded me of how far Touhou has gone in terms of connecting with Touhou communities of different languages. If it continues that way, I have no doubt that Touhou will be in a fine place for the future. That all I have to say, so have a good new year!

Quick end of the year updates. PigeonVoyageur has recently recorded an entire playthrough of こころ劇場 on their Youtube channel. I have done some investigation into this, and I have reason to believe version 2.93 does not exist, or at the very least developed by the original creator. Firstly, going through the original forum page for this mod has never shown any update past v2.90. The second reason is that searching up "thkaguyamod-1.7.10-2.91.jar", leads to a mod pack called Touhou Online ~ Master Spark!, which includes thkaguyamod as part of the mod pack. Due to these two reason, I believe that v2.93 is simply some sort of accident born out of including the mod in a modded server as the only mention on OpenEye for both v2.91 and v2.93 share the same file name, thkaguyamod. Sturm Novahl's Youtube Reply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12HT9BDWgMQ&lc=Ugj9owQpNsUPIXgCoAEC.8CIQ6P0EvZ28CMPOVaW4qe It appears Nuclear Temmie is likely a recreation of Utsuho’s theme Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom with temmie sound effects. This video appears to have been created by Sturm Novahl according to a reply they made for a request to create Nuclear Temmie.

I think we could have more fanart that have a form of story behind them. By: はるのふるは The plants species depicted in this piece of art are all different extinct plant species where only an artist interested in both botany and Touhou could create this artwork. It's lovely visually and a joy to look into the plants that existed from millions of years ago. It is the type of artwork that wants me explore beyond what it is in front of me and discover new connections to Touhou itself. That the type of fanart I want to see more of. What aspect of Touhou do you reference by "majestic aspects"? Could it be the community's unity? The overlooked lore of Touhou's world? Is it the narrative themes of fanworks? There a lot aspects of Touhou I could describe as "grand". Regardless that wish for multiplayer Touhou games appears to be popular desire... I agree wholeheartedly for more multiplayer fangames, especially for the co-op style. Goodness, it would be cool to have couch play with other friends or to chat online on those games. It could even be a little convention event. Though, the only recourse for multiplayer games is to start developing games and bring that change. The Touhou Fan Game Jams exists to encourage the growth of game development within the Touhou community. Otherwise, perhaps a game jam theme could be multiplayer as that is a creative theme to springboard ideas from. In fact, I go list some pervious multiplayer Touhou games: Utsuru - Inkfection | an isometric version of Dead by Daylight. When I ran a multiplayer session of this game, I was a little spooked by how well a certain player used Reimu to control the behavior of the Youkai team. Touhou Diorama Duel | a 3D arena game where two players attempt to dodge danmaku shot from each other. The details within each of the stages adds a nice extra touch. ハクレイフリーマーケット (Hakurei Flea Market) | Two teams of three players attempt to place the most amount of items in their team's field. Of course, players can use special moves to stun players, or choose to steal items from the other team's field. Everything about this game screams chaos, just by looking at the Youtube video for this game. Even more crazily, this game had online multiplayer until it shut down in 2024. Still, the local multiplayer works perfectly fine, so this game can still be played wireless by Parsec. The three games mentioned all have a degree of writing within them, but each of them focuses on a specific character. That reminds me of The Little Rabbit Princess and the House of Eternity and DUET, both story-based Touhou games that focuses on Kotohime and Renko respectfully, each successful at creating character arcs for each of them. It be nice to have more story-based Touhou games regardless of if it is a visual novel, a walking simulator, a CYOA, a D&D campaign, or even a silent interactive novel. ================== Is it greedy to want more fighting games when there are characters like Wriggle or Narumi that have never gotten a fighting game appearance? Giving them a full fighting game moveset could give them the chance to shine. I believe there is still more idea space within the Touhou fighting game genre to move towards. We are getting a Touhou Super Smash Bros. game with Fractured Transience after all. Are you referring to the Moriya Shrine Forum community, or are referring to the Touhou community as a whole? If it is the latter, I must disagree with the statement the Touhou community has been in an loop doing the same things for years. To backup my statement, I like to mention a little historic tidbit. Before the start of the collaborative fangame of NitorInc., seeing non-danmaku Touhou fangames by the Western Touhou community was extremely rare to find. To name a few of the fangames with the likes of Story of a Lost Sky, Deep Sea Dating, Dai-Sukima Dan's visual novels, and some Walfas fangames would be most Western Touhou fangames back before 2017. Nowadays, looking at both the Steam list of Touhou Curator and the game releases from the Touhou Fan Game Jams, it feels like the Touhou community has developed a subculture for Touhou fangame development. How about Star of Providence? It's neither danmaku or Touhou, but it I say it is best example of combing both roguelike elements with STGs thanks to its weapon system. The weapon system forces the player to adapt how they dodge the bullets as the weapons function quite differently to each other, and that the player is forced to swap between multiple weapons in a single playthrough. It makes for a neat limitation to force the player to look for brand new ways to dodge danmaku to maximize the damage, in a similar way to finding how out routes to make best use of Marisa's and Patchouli's shottype from SA. ================== The closest thing for a preexisting open-world Touhou game are the Touhou Minecraft servers. Those worlds have sights that are worth exploring by walking, subway, or even by a cable car lift.

I only have one circle that I can say is definitely based in the US: Find Your Way. This circle has been active since 2013 releasing Touhou albums and their music is great as best as I can describe in my music-limited language. Though, there also Boston Touhou Gakudan, a defunct circle formed by Japanese students while they studied at the Berklee College of Music. It worth taking a listen to Sakura Nocturna, with lovely vocals for the first track and jazz for the rest of the album.

Before I forget to post this, I have uploaded collection of scans for ZUN's column Which Came First, Hakurei Kannushi's Games or Beer? to Internet Archive. This collection contains the scans by Touhou Wiki and MoTK, plus new scans from February to May of 2018, the last 3 months of 2019, and then the rest of the columns for 2020 until the latest issue of January 2025.

The app store link don't load for me either, so I suspect it just means the app has been delisted rather than a connection issue.

Welcome back to the Moriya Shrine, CountVonNumenor. I can't speak for the entire Touhou community, but I say the state of the Touhou community is not different from 2023 in that the community is growing slowly, and new fanworks are created on a regular basis. Nothing major happened within the Touhou community between 2023 and 2024, so let me present my slice of Touhou news from 2024 as an update on what ZUN and the community has done this past year. Official May 3 - Taboo Japan Disentanglement It is another Hifuu Album with a story. https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Taboo_Japan_Disentanglement May 31 - Touhou Guideline Changes The big change is that "indie game websites" are allowed on the acceptable list, meaning a website like itch.io is now allowed to sell Touhou fan games. The second change is mention that crowdfunding is not allowed without ZUN's permission. https://x.com/richard_effendi/status/1796539548287336605 July 8 - Touhou 19 v1.10c After one year from its release, a balance patch is released that made balance changes to every character and fixing a number of bugs. The includes nerfing Chiyari’s to have clearable wisps and bluffing Nazrin’s scope speed to name a few of the changes. Safe to say, this is more balanced than the initial version of Touhou 19. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2400340/view/4220517501592769690 July 29 - ZUN Manuscript In a radio stream back in July 29, ZUN commented that he been busy writing some manuscripts. It been speculated that this could be a future Touhou printwork. https://moriyashrine.org/forums/topic/6276-a-new-livestream-with-zun-kind-of-a-interview-too/?do=findComment&comment=20165 Community February 8 - Touhou Danmaku Kagura Release After the successful crowdfunding campaign back in 2023 to revive Touhou Danmaku Kagura, this rhythm game got its release on Steam. https://danmaku.jp/igG3s3wtMyN0R1Oa1x7CQ/ June 5 - Crowdfunding Permissions On this day, Kyoto Fantasy Troupe is accepted for fundraising its 3rd episode of The Sealed Esoteric History.

On June 8, Niconico went down for about a month after a ransomware attack occurred on Kadowara’s servers. Then, during early July, a wave of DDOS attacks occurred on multiple Chinese Touhou websites, shutting down services like the THBWiki. Thankfully, all of these services have since recovered, and it does not appear any permanent website migrations occurred after this incident was said and done. https://moriyashrine.org/forums/topic/5870-chinese-touhou-websites-are-under-attack/ July - Seasons of Gensokyo Seasons of Gensokyo is another Touhou zine collaboration after Welcome to Gensokyo that once again features art, stories, and comics from over 100 contributors. https://gensokyozine.itch.io/gensokyoseasons August - Mystia Izakaya Anime Announcement Its release is aiming for summer 2025. Concept art has also been released in the meantime. https://moriyashrine.org/forums/topic/6495-touhou-mystias-izakaya-anime-seems-to-be-on-the-works/ August 15 - Imperishable Night 20th Anniversary Across the Touhou community were fanworks related to Imperishable Night to celebrate its anniversary. There too many fanworks to cover in this post, but the tag fanworks used for the anniversary is #ImperishableDay. https://youtu.be/UHwbk9fgs9w Winter - Riverside Wonders A charity zine where all profit will go to Care for Gaza in helping the needs of Palestine families. The zine is planed for preorders by the end of the year. https://thriversidezine.carrd.co/ December - BBEX International On December 31st, 2023, the Hispanic community magazine BBEX, releasing its first international issue, showcasing community works from the rest of the Western Touhou community. With the success of the pervious event, BBEX international is running again this year and has announced that the premiere of the next issue will happen on December 29th. https://x.com/POfBoundaries/status/1865896113573617779 Vanyk's Japan Touhou Circle Research Teaser Vanyk has been building an extensive data table on Touhou circles and Touhou events within Japan to analysis changes in the Japanese Touhou community. Currently, he is in the progress of writing an analysis piece based on his data. https://moriyashrine.org/profile/38795-vanyk/content/?type=core_statuses_status&change_section=1 If you need more info on what happened in 2024, I recommend Suzunaan's monthly news videos. Despite the commentary being Spanish, their videos are still watchable as each news item has images. Plus, every video has a source list down in the description or comment section. If you have any more questions on the Touhou community, feel free to ask.

Alight, I have been researching about Touhou mobile apps thanks to Sshirori’s blog posts on Touhou mobile apps. As such, I have compiled a list on Touhou apps. This list will not have every single Touhou app as most apps, but only the apps appeared to have original content created for the app itself. Lost Mobile Touhou Apps These apps were released to the public at some point in time, but cannot be played today. アプリ – パルチェッカ | ゆっくりえらんでいってね！！ | めずらしいたけ ～Uncommon Shiitake Mushroom～ By: Muraoka Lab Platforms: iOS Sources: Developer Website アプリ – パルチェッカ - Blog Post ゆっくりえらんでいってね！！ - Blog Post ===================================================== Muraoka Lab published アプリ – パルチェッカ and ゆっくりえらんでいってね！！to the iOS app store, but めずらしいたけ ～Uncommon Shiitake Mushroom～ was not published on the app store. Also, ゆっくりえらんでいってね！！was featured on the magazine iPhone Magazine which appeared to have been published for January 2010. That is all I can say on the matter as searching information on iPhone Magazine is difficult with its generic name, so any info about this Japanese Apple magazine would be appreciated. These apps were delisted in 2011 as the author found the apps to be low quality, using the 2011 ZUN’s guideline changes as an excuse. The guideline changes involved the prohibition on the sale of Touhou works on mobile app stores without ZUN’s permission. ===================================================== おどってゐ | 東方⑨時計 By: 工房紙風船-KOBOKAMIFUSEN- Platforms: iOS Sources: Developer Website おどってゐ - Sshori Post 東方⑨時計 – NicoNico Video おどってゐ Pixiv Post 東方⑨時計 – Pixiv Post ===================================================== おどってゐ is a sequencer that also creates custom dance routine with Tewi. Also, there a 2016 MAD video using art from this app, using Tewi, black Tewi, and Reisen? It a bit strange since the artist's Pixiv, does not use the おどってゐ artstyle outside of this app, which either means the MAD creator made a reproduction of おどってゐ's artstyle, the artist has more art outside of Pixiv, or the art came from the app itself. 東方⑨時計 is a Cirno-themed clock app. ===================================================== 天子ちゃん危機一髪 By: Ryunosuke Inui Platforms: iOS Source: Developer Website Appure App Store Details ===================================================== Unlike the rest of their apps, 天子ちゃん危機一髪 did not release on Flash or Android. The game is about protecting Tenshi from Yin Yang Orbs by touching on the orb as they fly by. ===================================================== 東方機巧音匣 By: Dwango Co., Ltd. Platforms: iOS | Android Source: Youtube Video Showcase Famitsu Article Appbank Article App Store Details ===================================================== 東方機巧音匣 is an alarm clock app that uses Touhou doujin circle music as alarm music. There also two mini-game included: a true/false math equation game and a quiz about choosing out of two Touhou characters which one of them appeared earlier in the series. This app was also paid, which means Dwango got permission from ZUN and mutiple Touhou doujin circles to publish on mobile app stores. FYI, this app was released after the 2011 guideline changes. ===================================================== Touhou Bad Apple Clock By: Sam Pin Sang Platforms: iOS Sources: App Store Details Developer work experience on Linkedin ===================================================== A Bad Apple clock app with some videos and images. ===================================================== TIC-TAC-Touhou By: Dominic Pratt Platforms: iOS Sources: App Store Details Developer work experience on Linkedin ===================================================== It is exactly as it sounds like, a Touhou themed tic-tac-toe game with dancing Touhou characters included. Also, this app is paid. =====================================================

I am not sure what software needs to be installed from an fresh window installation, but are there any error messages that could be recorded to figure out what software needs to be installed? Otherwise, I can mention the software already used for Touhou games. d3d8to9 Vsync Patches Put the files in their respective Touhou game folder. =============================================== Now, thcrap as a patcher works fine without an internet connection, except thcrap will no longer be able to automatically update its patches. However, thcrap is not normally portable to its use of shortcuts and absolute paths. Here is a guide to making thcrap portable. I assume the thcrap folder is above the Touhou game folders, but change the paths if the thcrap folder is located in a different location. game.js Within game.js, change every path to be relative like the following example: "../Touhou 19 - Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost/th19.exe" The important part is at the beginning instead of the root drive being referred, ".." is used instead to get thcrap to look above its folder and look for the exe file in the other Touhou games. thcrap Shortcuts In the folder of each Touhou game, make an .bat file Type the following in the .bat file: CD /D %~dp0 "..\thcrap\bin\thcrap_loader.exe" "en.js" thXX The first line changes the directory to where the .bat file is located as "%~dp0" simply refers to the path where the .bat file is located. The second line is executing thcrap_loader with its proper arguments. With these changes, thcrap is now setup with relative paths instead of absolute paths, which means putting thcrap on a portable install should now work.

Here is another discovery from Sshori’s blog, this time on a game called 東方知霊奏 that was created by doujin cirlce AloMarron. 東方知霊奏 Website Link: https://web.archive.org/web/20160321160626/http://alomarron.com/trs/ 東方知霊奏　トーナメント戦 (Tournament Match 1) on Youtube: https://youtu.be/MBu2mC7vAHI?si=u077PABZu2f_1lCD&t=128 東方知霊奏 is described as a “QUIZ x STG” which had the player answer quiz questions while dodging danmaku. Additionally, this game had online support for multiplayer, where tournament matches of up to nine players competed for the best score by answering the questions correctly while dodging waves of danmaku for each question. By the way, this game did not limit itself to one question format, instead opting to use multiple question formats, such as multiple choice, true or false, spell the word, fill in the blank, etc. Also, question genres were not restricted to only Touhou and as such there was genre like gaming, science, and sports to name a few genre that could be selected. Speaking of selection, the game was able to quickly describe the question format and question genre to players with a “spiritual score” that used musical notation as shorthand to describe the upcoming set of questions. Moreover, players were not restricted to answering a default set of questions as players had the option to create their own set of questions. That pretty amazing for an online quiz game. Plus, the visual presentation and soundtrack work together with the forest fairytale vibes its tries to build on. Overall, I say 東方知霊奏 is a pretty Touhou quiz game, if this game was still playable in 2024. As a piece of lost media,東方知霊奏 was an online Touhou game and its servers have been long shut down, rendering it online multiplayer unplayable. Nevertheless, AloMarron distributed versions of 東方知霊奏 as physical discs for doujin events, so finding these discs should hopefully contain software still playable offline. But that is not the only release to be searched for. What if I told you that there was a playable Unity port of 東方知霊奏 on iOS? As a preview iOS release, this iOS version was not on the app store and instead people had to buy a download card from AloMarron that contained a serial code for iOS users to download the game on their device.

According to this catalog on Suruga-Ya AloMarron released Touhou games from 2010-2016, but most of these releases are location test versions of his Touhou games. Of these releases, AloMarron released four other pieces of Touhou fanworks: AloMarron Works 2010 SUMMER with MQMAIII (A CD of unknown purpose) AloMarron Works 2010 Autumn with MQMAIII (A CD of unknown purpose) 東方知霊文 and its v1.5.0 remaster update (Quiz x STG Game) 東方紅奏饗 (Quiz x Rhythm Game) That is all the information I have for now on AloMarron with their Quiz x STG genre fusion game.

Found the download link for リグルイ1.5 on the developer's website, so that takes care of the bonus Wriggle game in the Wriggle magazines. https://web.archive.org/web/20130830115623/http://28.pro.tok2.com/~bonyoh/touhou/xmas2011.html

Welcome to the Moriya Shrine forums, Dioxaz! Recognize you from your posts on Touhou MMD and for your translated subtitle work. Looks like MMD animations are getting added to the Lost Media thread.
