well then i'll tell you

it's a bullet hell shooter like ikaruga or r-type except instead of a space ship you have a magic anime school girl who shoots lasers with magic

the writing is really bad fanfiction grade and the art is similarly really bad crudely drawn anime by the programmer guy who makes the games and has no artistic talent. there's a metric fuckton of characters and convoluted storylines and the guy who makes the games actively encourages anime fans on the internet to write fanfiction and make fan art. it's insanely popular among anime fan creators/dojins/whatever and there's like 20 main entries in the series. it's basically anime homestuck with a line of good-to-middling bullet hell shooters bolted onto the side

seriously though with the flood of translated VNs and anime games on steam nowdays it's only a matter of time before these things appear there. from what I understand right now they're only sold in person at japanese anime conventions. putting them on steam would be a license to print money

all of the touhou music i've ever heard has that same loving motif everywhere and is basically a slightly remixed version of the same song

*an actual level designer working for a fraction of the salary of the lead programmer could actually create a whole game's worth of superior levels in half the time it takes for the programmer to "perfect" his lovely level-generation algorithm*

This reminds me of xcom eu.
Except that game somehow survived its insane dev cycle, you know on account of having someone to answer to in the end.

It also turns out that 'Early Access' or whatever, is a real backwards rear end way to make a game. You get funds to work on the game - but your development priorities are totally messed up due to the constant pressure to appease.

Gamers make for far worse financial backers than publishers on average in my opinion. Publishers won't chargeback because your main character isn't the cis-hating scandinavian transpony post-op they desperately wanted for validation. They're also generally not mentally deficient and socially stunted. Also won't beg you and harass you to put in furry/brony poo poo just to appease their sad and pathetic kink. Of course early access is just one of the many reasons Starbound is floundering about the place steadily becoming less enjoyble.

Also gamers are almost always lovely, broken people who find the most pathetically tiny details to obsess and rage about regardless of context or impact. Maybe 0.001% of gamers can form opinions with greater sophistication than an 8-year old. Gamer culture is resposible for some of the most cringe-inducing poo poo I've ever seen. So yeah they're the perfect people to have financial control over your project and allow serious input into gameplay elements from.
