Are fan-games real games?
>>746099623Touhou games are trash no matter who made them.
>>746100637Rude
>>746100637wrong
>>746099623If the fan games better than the main series then yeah. The mainline 2hu games are dog shit. MegaMari is better than every single one of them
>>746099623Yes. Next question.
To this day I still don't comprehend 2hu success worldwide. Shmups are trash and there's no anime, no good manga nothing
>>746102053>no good mangaFuck you, Forbidden Scrollery was great
>>746102053>no good mangaSlander
>>746100637Would you rather have a good fangame with 2hu characters or a shit regular game without 2hu characters
>>746100637First post worst post
>>746102053Secondaries appropriating the designs and doing whatever they want with them with the author's blessing
>>746103449Sex with Kogasa
>>746102053Same reason gacha is popular, kissless virgins who can't stand men in their games.
>>746103449You are a tranny.
>>746103775i don't understand why it doesn't have success a game full of girls but the only male is the main character
>>746103775
>>746099623Yes, obviously? If they are games that you can play, they are real.Or did you mean "canon" or something silly like that?
>>746099623Gee anon, two threads?
>>746105237Nonono, this is a fan-game thread, not a 2hu thread, its completely different
>>746099623Yes, but modded games aren't.
>>746103356I would rather have a good game with original characters and an original setting rather than what amounts to a fangame. The only reason people make fangames is when they know their idea for a game couldn't garner a playerbase otherwise.
>>746105793Or they like the setting and want to add something to it
>>746099623Any fangames that are not Touhou? Problem is that most fangames would probably get ceased and desisted. Do romhacks of games count as fangames?Also, to answer the question, yes. They are still games.
>>746106537There are tons of free fangames about any IP but Touhou is pretty much only one you can legally profit from
So what's the deal with Touhou anyways? like what is it about? I see shrine girls and maids and shit but do they do?
>>746103775touhou fans love all the few male characters that appear though
>>746106913there's a pocket dimension full of yokai and ghosts and wizard and demons and other bullshit that used to live in the regular world before magic died out, and they often start shit and someone has to go kick their asses to calm them down each time
>>746106913ZUN designed some characters in drunken haze, gave them place holder personalities and let people to go wild with them
>>746102053They don't play the games, they like it because it's popular.
>>746102053Touhou is an autism magnet. Gameplay-wise, you just repeat the same thing over and over until you build muscle memory. There are cute anime girls. There are bright saturated flashy colors. It's Japanese. There's good instrumental music. You need computer skills to get the games running on modern hardware. It's basically scientifically crafted to attract weird mfs.
>>746105669Depends on how much content is edited from the original game.Super Junkoid(Super Metroid romhack)X-Fusion(Super Metroid romhack)Zelda Parallel Worlds(ALTTP romhack)Skyblivion(Skyrim mod)Zelda Link's Awakening HD DX(Zelda Link's Awakening PC port)All of these are no different from a fangame.
>>746107881Yes romhacks are fine, I didn't mean them
>>746099623Why would they not be?
>>746100637FPBP
>>746100637
I'm playing this. It's pretty hard after how easy most RPGs have become. I beat Okuu on the second try but the optional Koishi fight is kicking my ass and she's relatively deep into a dungeon and there's no heal beforehand.
>>746102053hey their doujin circles are godtier e.g. Foreground Eclipse, Draw the Emotional
>>746109550Because when an authority(studios) does something, it's real.When unauthorized people(fans) do, it confuses their smooth brain.
>>746102053It's fun
Touhou main draw is that you don't have to make up a whole plethora of characters for your game. Most characters are distinct and already have various sized fanbases and ZUN isn't a jewish nigger.My only problem with the man is that he even allows gacha games to use his IP but I assume he gets a really fat stack from them.Most Touhou fangames are above average for an indie.
>>746099623Nice game. I hate countdown timers though.
>>746099623There are enough quality Touhou fangames that I think it is hard to deny.
>>746099623I've been having fun with tohotopia for a while now. That's real enough to me.>>746107881It's been a while since I heard about junkoid. Did this guy ever make anything else?
>>746099623Yes
>>746115607>he even allows gacha games to use his IPi think the gachas are actually officially licensed, they don't rely on his usual "do whatever you want" policy but specifically receive the ok from him, so yeah definitely he gets a part of the money
>>746100637they're better if not made by zun
>>746102053Vague yet interesting enough story to give artists a platform to tell their own stories and build their portfolio while being a part of a tight knit community. Whether that be through music, doujinshi, games, or just plain digital art
