In release this week!
Hello, folks. We are happy to inform you that the five month development hell is over and the Touhou Gensokyo Visitor is releasing on 10/30/2020.
While we were developing the game, on some sites and in the comments we read quite funny opinions of people who unnecessarily embellish our game. And although we are flattered by this opinion, we must admit that we are not gods. We do not want to disappoint you and believe that the truth is better than false marketing, so we want to tell you a little about our game.
No, this is not a date sim. Initially, we planned to make a date sim, but something went wrong. We wanted to make a game where you can meet different characters, go on dates and get involved in Gensokyo's life. This was in the beginning.
Then we wanted animated characters. Then we had a not very beautiful Reimu, and she needed to be redrawn. Then we realized that 5 roots is not enough, and increased their number to 16. Then we wanted colorful battles, but we don't have much experience working in Python, so we changed the engine, and then again ...
Finally, we’ve decided that a small but well-built game was better than 10 years waiting. In short, our perfectionism has collided with reality. And the reality won.
Touhou Gensokyo Visitor is a kinetic visual novel that tells a short, complete story. The protagonist enters Gensokyo and experiences various adventures there. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you the details to keep you interested in playing.
Today or tomorrow we will post a Demo, so that you can form your opinion.
We hope you enjoy the result of our work. We are ready to accept any criticism from you that will help us improve this and all future games. We are also ready to answer your questions in the comments to this post.
P.S. No, we didn't stop the development of the date sim, we just postponed it a bit. :)
Best Regards,
Jean
