98hus!
Shinki fills me with immense amounts of sexual desires when I see her. I need to take her virginity and make her pregnant.
>>46664029She's already given birth to enough kids to fill up a realm, anon. Even if she were a virgin Goddess like Kanako, her vagina must be absolutely wrecked by now. With her it would be sloppy, wet, hotdog-down-a-mineshaft type of momsex with lots of hugging and kissing, but very little sensation down there for either of you.
Yeah, 98th place or lower in the popularity rankings.
>>46667968But first in my heart, and that's what really matters!
>>46664402Imagine how good it must feel to finally nut in a scenario like that though, cumming out of sheer unbearable lust and desire to put your seed into her after churning her pussy for an hour. God I popped a boner just writing this.
>>46667931
What do you need, Anon?
>>46668253Shinki's in the hallway looking through a crack in the door mouthing "hold hands with her" to me.Can't say i'd be against it.
>>46663824Is there any hope for the 98Hus to come back ?
>>46674292Only for non main series spinoffs.For example the gacha has multiple 98hus, that's the closest you'll ever get to them being "back" though.
>>46674312Isn't Gacha non cannon ?Even so are all the 98hus unable to fit in into the current lore?
>>46674321>Isn't Gacha non cannon ?That's what I meant with "non main series spinoffs"ZUN just doesn't have any reason to bring them back, he started from zero with 6 because he wanted a clean slate to work on.
If we hope hard enough, we can keep the flame going long enough that he might decide to pull out another old characterIt happened in 9, it could happen again.
>>46674382It just doesn't seem right without Mima Shinki and others ... >>46674407We could always kidnap ZUN's family and black mail him
>>46664402I think that's the wrong kind of birth anon
>>46674485I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would pay good money for a fanmade continuation of the PC98 canon. There's a lot of unrealised potential in the characters that ~95% of people will never see beyond a few dumb memes that somehow gained traction.
>>46674569Could you elaborate ? Outside of Mima and Shiki I don't remember or know anything about it
>>46668057Imagine doing the exact opposite and prematurely ejaculating before you even put it in. I doubt that she'd mind too much, but it would also mean that she'd have to spend more time training you until you're ready for one of her daughters.
>>46674626... well I don't want to be "that guy", but playing the games is the only real way to do everything justice.Obligatory disclaimer finished, continue on.The quickest way I can think of describing what I mean is that LLS and MS have amazing setting given how limited the nature of a danmaku game allows for worldbuilding, and Kana / Yumemi are to me some of the most interesting characters even in isolation. There's this feeling of half-built plot about all five games that seems to demand greater attention than any of them were ever given, even if half of it is just spriterips from other stuff and references to Takemoto works (Even most of the art seems to be heavily influenced by his style actually).It's just full of this sense of wonder and mystery that seems to be missing since probably around TD or so, where the setting starts to become a restriction instead of a freedom to do whatever. I also happen to quite like old 90's games, since I grew up playing them even though they were well obsolete by the time I got my grubby mits on them.
Presumably you've all already seen this but it's still good. Meteors of triple dimension:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoOtYzgZpwghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e75L6uYqCBwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27uy6jEHEroDid they ever release more?
>>46674763>but playing the games is the only real way to do everything justice.Ive played the games but that was ages ago so I forgot most of the plot points.But yeah thanks for the explanation
>>46674814Sounds like an excuse as good as any for giving them another runa
>>46675381run*
>>46674292At this point I just don't think it's going to happen, but part of me is glad. Modern 2hu just doesn't have the same magical feeling that the PC98 and early Windows games have. For example, the LLS Extra is completely shrouded in mystery and completely up to interpretation, and there's nothing quite like it in any 2hu made in the past decade. I feel like Zun would just make it feel less special by bringing them back and overexplaining things.>>46674569This is true, the potential behind the 98hus are especially high. I'm an aspiring writefag and came up with enough backstory to fill an essay for Louise of all people, for example.
>>46676947I think that's the majority of people's real thoughts on the matter. There's an infinitesimal chance of a satisfying official expansion happening, so I'll just be content with a new Aq's US coming (never).Louise / Luize is a strange one for sure though. Good luck with that.
>>46667976Not if your heart is stolen
Sacchan~
Imagine the effort and energy put into creating, sustaining and teaching a child, and then all you get is>Alice
>>46683621Elis!
I wonder what my 2hu waifu would look like as a 98hu. She didn't exist during the PC-98 era.
>>46686931who is
>>46676947>>46674763Yeah, PC98 and early Windows game have this special mysterious feeling while also being less serious than later games. I think it's more fun to make wild guesses about characters and setting based only on a few lines of dialogue and the text file that comes with the game rather than have 5 different printworks that often contradict each other, ZUN isn't that good of a writer to be honest
>>46663824I like how the average 98hu is dorkier than the modern 2hus.>>46667968Rude! Apologize!
Why is Mugetsu often drawn with Yoshi Island's Raven?
Shinki made some good girls.
>>46687025ZUN was at his peak when he just got drunk and made the games without actually caring about writing too much
98Meiling a cute
Yumemi best PC98, and I won’t take criticism.
>>46689356As you shouldn't. Such a statement is irrefutable scientific fact.
>>46689356I like to think she is still in Gensokyo,living in a house in the woods surrounded by the magic she so loves.
>>46688382And Mai.Would Yuki be a sweet little cinnamon bun without her evil sister? Or would she just be Alice (Open beta)?
Does anyone know if in LLS you go into the dried lake of blood or if it's just the place were the blood gets pulled into since my nip-skills tell me it could be either and in the stage you seem to get into a strange hole in the middle of the lake.... Also is it the same lake as the one that appears in one ending?>>46674569>fanmade continuation Like with new characters or same characters?Anyways agree that the wackiness of pc98 is pretty nice as well as the absolute subreal places you see in the games. Stuff like ZUN writing sorry to any alien reading or Mima with her (lie)s among many other things brings a smile on my face.>>46688253Can't say for sure but the raven being fought on a moon like object and the birds of Yoshi's Island coming in two variations winged and not winged might have started it.Also LLS and Yoshi's Island are both pretty wacky so I guess some artist started it and a few others followed.
>>46689764>Like with new characters or same characters?Obviously a bit of both. You can't just recycle the same ones over and over again but I don't see the issue with reusing characters so long as they fit their role.Of course I'm just some guy, I know jack shit about making a danmaku game, so for all I know reusing a character just never works out for anyone.
>>46689764The lake in the ending certainly is the lake of blood (what else could it be?). Maybe it's really made of blood or maybe it's just red colored water (happens irl because of algae too) so everyone just calls it like that.The middle part looks to me more like an island with the gate to somewhere near Yuukas mansion
>>46693440
>>46689877Oh, I thought read it as 1 game only but I guess you meant more like several games.>>46693440The one in the ending bubbling seemed a bit like lava to me, but it makes more sense if it's the lake of blood.The way the rocks and the water fades into make me think of it being more like a dark abyss or something.>>46693478Nice iron rich water.
I wonder if it's humanly possible to beat gengetsu's rape time without using anything like slowing down the game
>>46696342Once/if PC-98 modding becomes a thing the first thing I'm doing is recreating Gengetsu rape time in PoDD just because I think it would be funny to see how the AI bullshits its way through it
>>46696819Would be probably easier to port over PoDD AI's code to control character in Th4.
>>46663824Is this thread for oldies only?
>>46686931Depends a lot on how ZUN would have approached them, he probably would have even made different design choices due to the hardware's limits like your 2hu having to share the max 16 colors with the background, bullets and the player characters. Picrel has from 11 to 9 colors per portrait which is what usually have.
>>46698723I don't want to be a pedant, but I should point out that the PC-98 characters were all drawn in Takamoto's style adapted to pixel art.It's not that obvious, but the way eyes are drawn is totally different, and there's more use of dithering.Characters also tend to share a few colours with their stage, and the vibrant blues are used a lot more than three different shades of grey.
>>46689400I do, too. She and Chiyuri are still analyzing the magic of Gensokyo, working it into the new scientific field of thaumatology.
>>46701891those expressions are always funny
>>46704332Post-battle sprites are especially funny
>>46709301SHE LIVED!!
Mugebump
tsundere reimu
>>46701891Nah, you're completely right. The artstyle changes a lot and picking Takamoto's manga as reference is probably a good idea if one aims to get a pc98'hu style.>ditheringyep, I still have to figure how to properly do that, most of the time I do it it looks weird and I scrap it.>three different shades of grey.Was trying to make it pretty IN based but I guess that light pink grey in the hat might need more contrast, the one that would most likely be in a pc98 game would be bottom right, which I forgot to add since I tried to keep my post short.
>>46709301When I first saw this I honestly chuckled a bit because Chiyuri just looks so happy
>>46693440>The middle part looks to me more like an island with the gate to somewhere near Yuukas mansionI guess some sort of portal or non-euclidean fuckery must be going on then since we see the end of the island/hole when Kurumi appears.Or protags just move go sideways I guess.>>46721436Hitting your boss with a chair is probably a high level of happiness for many.
>>46721425>Was trying to make it pretty IN based [...]A lot of the beauty of older games like these is working within and around the restrictions put in place by the hardware. If you download a space shooter game these days you'll be treated to the full 16 million colours available by the three-bit RGB system HDMI can offer you, thousands of polygons on screen at once and still expect to get 60+ FPS on a decent system. Compare this to something like Elite Frontier which ran on a motorola 68000, 2MB of RAM and 7MHz, while still managing to draw polygons before hardware acceleration *in real time at all* and you can get a deeper appreciation of the effort that went in to it's creation.Now I personally don't have anything against the grey hair in and of itself, you could really go either way, but in an actual game it would have to fit in with the overall palette of the stage. For this reason, it's usually the less saturated colours that get thrown out first, but if you happened to have an unusually dreary looking stage it could work that you use the more subtle shading on the top half rather than on the bottom, but it'd be a massive tradeoff compared to biting the bullet on her not having argon-blue hair and having a much more vibrant stage. There's probably some tricks you can pull off with swapping out the palette mid-frame to draw the character sprites, but I can't say I am intimately familiar with the PC-9800 platform enough to do anything but speculate on that point. People have pulled off more impressive things on similar systems, but usually with a budget over $3.50.All this is really just to say that a lot of care and thought went into building these games, and there are some pretty tight restrictions on the art in them that can only be pulled off by matching the characters to the stage they are in. Something like IN would have probably blown everyone's mind in 1998 that today we take all that stuff for granted. Even MS must have taken a lot of work to get looking roughly how it was envisaged. What you've done is still cool, and I don't want you to think I'm putting it down for no reason.Pixel art is much tougher in my view simply because it has to look right despite/because of it's own restrictions, making it a nice treat to see someone pull it off in any capacity.
>>46725884Is that the actual reason why PC98 Touhou has so many blondes (same color as most non-white UI text)?
>>46704332Knowing the Context behind this face makes it better
>>46719644"Anon, it's 3 am. Time for your next pint of Muge milk."
>>46725884Appreciate the feedback, if anything 1 gray being used like in LLS would be a thing, I misremembered IN as being more gray in the background if I'm being honest. That and having gray bullets and a decent amount of gray in characters made me think 2 grey colors might work.>There's probably some tricks you can pull off with swapping out the palette mid-frame to draw the character sprites,Closest I've seen to that is the change in colors on stage5 when Yuuka appears, but I'm not familiar with the specific PC98 limitations aside from resolution 16 12bit colors max in the same screen.>Something like IN would have probably blown everyone's mind in 1998For the PC98 just with the 8 character portraits it would be too heavy for the time, they would at the very least be lower res. Colors might make things like rainbow danmaku patterns would be pretty hard to implement if not impossible. Would indeed be mind blowing at that time. I'm even surprised at MS having a double boss and at LLS changing depending on the character you pick.>>46728065LLS uses picrel or similar palette for gameplay parts, MS and PoDD are also similar in colors.Blonde is probably the most normal hair color to do aside from red and black but using the same color as outlines is a bit tricky.
>>46729589Sprites and color palettes and such can be updated during the drawing of a single frame and appear like the hardware limitations are being exceeded but aren't really.Related:https://yosshin4004.github.io/x68k/xsp/index.htmlhttps://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ラスタースクロールhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_interrupt

This is extremely late to ask, but did that one anon from a past Ellen thread buy the Hatarakimono CD?https://warosu.org/jp/thread/45535313#p45925467Kinda remembered about this a little while ago, and wanted to ask about the current situation. I might have missed the time when the anon in question posted it
Shinki!
>>46737633Hi, I did get to buy it. Sorry for not posting it yet, I've scanned the booklet too and wanted to clean the scans a little before uploading everything together (because the rule of the internet is often "the first upload will always be the one shared around the most") but I've had other priorities until now.I should be able to upload it this weekend, I'll make a thread for it and link it here once I get around to it.
Renko is just Windows Yumemi.No I do not need to explain, nor can anything change my mind on this.
>>46744043Bow down to the mother of thaumatology!
Makai just isn't fair.
>>46744043renko is yumemi's mom
