天下制覇

 

Back to basics indeed.

Special thanks to Dracil for the heads up.

The 10th Touhou series game [Touhou Fuujinroku ~ Mountain of Faith] [Thanks to Solamarle for pointing out it would be Fuujinroku] is going to be released. In the summer.

So, I’ve decided to mention it.

Since a while ago bits and pieces have been revealed, but this time it’s really going back to the roots. From the three Koumakyou, Youyoumu and Eiyashou systems, the important portions have been kept and refined to form an even better new system.

Lately, when I go to game centers to play, my willpower to play exceeds the weakening of my arms, and it surprises me. Were one play shooting games really this intense and tiring? is how I feel, so investing one coin doesn’t become troublesome.

For that reason, the system [of th10?] isn’t too difficult, and the interface isn’t too difficult, or anything tedious like that. If anything, it’s just taking the older games’ faults and fixing their illnesses. [yes he uses the word illness as in sickness] That sickness is: as time goes on the number of “patients” increases… or so they say.

Anyway, I aimed for the game’s level to be something even I myself could enjoy. The result is something that diverges from being orthodox, but it’s something you shouldn’t have to worry about.

Well then, just a little bit of other game’s screenshots.

So? It’s gotten better from absolutely nothing changing, right?

During the Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai occuring May 20th, personal experience editions of Fuushinroku (demos?!) will be secretly handed out. If there are any interested individuals, debug and fine-tuning will be presented to the public (how horrible). [lol ZUN is sarcastic asking people if they wanna debug and fine-tune, what a horrific job… Wink]

By the way, the bit about “going back to the roots” was copying the Fuujinroku name from Fuumaroku. [Story of Eastern Wonderland, TH02] (The two don’t really have anything in common though.)

Ah, and of course the story is new material.
This time, Hakurei Shrine’s operations will be suspended, and Reimu will have to bear the weight of myriads (exaggerated) of gods. For some reason, Marisa too. Leisurely.

Hooray!
Note especially how the ‘option’ system seems to be drastically changed as well as the lack of bombs and the new Power meter.
