For actual canon content, Tasofro just announced a demo for the next game: Touhou 17.5 - Strange Tale of Greed ~ Submerged Hell. Seems to be a side-scrolling game about water.

That's right! I'm the counting sheep, Meeko. And I'm a proper sheep youkai!

I don't think it's about water per se - given the terms used to describe it (difficult to remove, can't be used as water, odor), I think it's crude oil. Which sure is uh, sure is a thing to put into touhou mythos if so.

Touhou 17.5: The kappa commit environmental crimes.

e: Plus the title being about greed.

The main antagonist of their last game was Capitalism; the next one is Big Oil. Checks out.

I googled 剛欲 and this page was the first entry: https://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%BC%B7%E6%AC%B2%E3%83%BB%E5%BC%B7%E6%85%BE%E3%83%BB%E5%89%9B%E6%AC%B2-2036818

Just seems like fancy alternative kanji, which ZUN is a big fan of, for 強欲.

Google translate gave me this out of the story section:


quote:

Black water was blowing out on the ground. The water gave off a strange odor and couldn't be easily removed when it touched the body. It was not a substitute that could be used as water for daily life.

What sees the black water as evil, sees as good, sees as sacred, sees as evil, sees as natural disaster, sees as economic glory, various speculations, some Then it became a fuss.

However, at a certain event, the back of what was floating will be frozen. In spring water for drinking, in a beautiful clear stream, in a hot spring that is a place of relaxation ... Black water began to spring out regardless of location.

So yeah they struck oil in Gensokyo

I’ve seen speculation that this game might have the unseen leader of the Eagle Goasts from WBaWC because their alliance is called 剛欲同盟

That was my first impression too. We left that as Gouyoku Alliance in the game patch since it was being treated more like a name than a word.

In any case the game will be about Clownpiece beating everyone up and taking the oil for herself.

The 17.5 demo is out at Reitaisai. I've seen a stream of the gameplay.





Basically it plays out like a Tasofro fighting game story mode. It's all boss fights, and if you hit them enough during a spellcard they get stunned so you can wail on them. Danmaku can be attacked/grazed and it turns into water, but melee attacks have to be dodged, and it shows you red warning text where it'll hit.

So it turns out the game isn't a sidescroller like people initially thought? Or do those mechanics only appear in boss battles?

Plays pretty good and solid though, it's a "we need to finish up later content" EA not a "the game is still coming together at a fundamental level" EA.

Found some secrets (a Yukari gap that warped me to Old Hell and some goodies and a alternate route behind a breakable rock leading to a fight with a Super Red Eyes Ringo) and had a fight with Rumia.

The fireworks based combat is a really neat way to transfer danmaku into a sidescroller.

Additional details: the manga will be released via the web, on the last monday of every month, starting on the 28th(!!) of this month.

Aya Azuma will also be creating a monthly but unofficial Komachi-centric webcomic (webdoujin?). I'm admittedly looking forward to this one a bit more, even if it's not really official.
