Episode 9 - Welcome ♥ Bullet Hell
Manage episode 244080263 series 2539641
This week, the Outside World Occultists doff their genteel lore hats and don the tie-dyed judicial wigs of game design to take a look at Touhou's approach to danmaku. After a brisk introduction to how it fits in the setting, and a cordial roast of certain misconceptions about it, we break down our favourite, least favourite, and most love-to-hate spellcards and patterns. Then, once we've recovered from the memory of Clownpiece, we consult our crack team of zero (0) shooting game designers to figure out how to make a better shooting game.
From the mailbag: What other genres besides danmaku shooter and fighting game would be a good fit for Touhou, and just when are Reimu and Marisa going to settle down, anyway?
