I hate this but, I also love this.

The GZDoom team added cutscene/FMV support in the newest version, 4.8.0. Which means that…

Finally…

My I.M. Meen TC can have those beautiful, beautiful cutscenes! Bless the gods!

The Complete Touhou Experience (as of 2/10/22)

Here is a link to every single official Touhou game that I’ve compiled.

Here is a link to every finished official Touhou non-game material.

Here is a link to notable fan creations and other games like Touhou.

Some things to note:

– THCRAP is an easy to use patcher for Touhou games and can change the games in a lot of ways, but is most notable for being able to make the games playable in English and other languages

– THCRAP does not work with Touhou 7.5 (Immaterial and Missing Power), so create a shortcut for th075e.exe and put it in the same folder all of your other shortcuts are located

– All of the games are numbered for convenience; games in “Fighters” and “Other” are official numbered entries that take place in between Windows games, so periodically check them after you play a traditional Touhou game if you’re playing in order

– PC-98 games are the first 5 in the series and require an emulator (two are included) to play

– I recommend using T98 since it’s much easier to navigate; to play a game click on HD drive 1 or 2, load the game file from whatever folder it’s in, and press the start (top left) button

– If using Neko Project II navigate to Harddisk, IDE #0 or #1, open, and load the game file from whatever folder it’s in; if the menus aren’t shown in the top bar, right click to bring them up; if a game is already running and you load a new game but the first game is still running, navigate to Emulate from the menu and click Reset

– Seihou 1 may not work if you try to run it in full screen; I use DxWnd to force it to play in windowed; The Seihou games and Torte Le Magic were not made by ZUN but he contributed music to them and they reference Tohuou

– Music CD stories are located here

– Check READMEs for more details

– If there are problems with any of the folders I’ve included (my own data accidentally being included, one of the games not working, etc.) please let me know

– This post will be updated as more Touhou games are released

Please consider financially supporting ZUN by buying the official releases from Steam if you enjoy them!

After 10,000 years I’m free! It’s time to conquer the Earth!

Predictions of dark forces being unleashed by an evil vixen hung over social media in Japan on Monday after a famous volcanic rock said to kill anyone who comes into contact with it was found split in two.

According to the mythology surrounding the Sessho-seki, or killing stone, the object contains the transformed corpse of Tamamo-no-Mae, a beautiful woman … Legend has it that her true identity was an evil nine-tailed fox whose spirit is embedded in the hunk of lava, located in an area of Tochigi.

@rolonoise gave me a suggestion to make a mini comic of a meme he had for Parcs and Rec inclusing the princessverse characters Freyja and Princess Sunna

I also want to say thanks to all those who stuck around and didn’t unfollow this site while I wasn’t posting art, it really means a lot since my break in doodling to find those peeps who liked my art before still enjoying it.

Updates for FRAG and FRAG: Episode 2 have released. You can download them here: https://nephritegames.co.uk/ It’s been a long time since I mentioned it on this tumblr so in short, FRAG is a tabletop battle game (i.e. like Warhammer 40k or Warzone) which is themed around 90s shooter and adventure games.

The Touhou Project is a long-running series of games set in Gensokyo which is:

A mystical realm based on native folklore.

Physically removed from our reality, but you can enter it by exploring an isolated rural location or through your dreams. Visiting Gensokyo might result in an evil doppelganger trying to take your place.

A place that the souls of the dead must pass through on their way to the afterlife.

Inhabited by spirits who feed on a negative emotion. The most powerful spirits sometimes visit our world to collect “saki” which is one of their favourite things to consume.

The home of someone who used to practice dark magic until they had religious experience, and now wants the other residents to co-exist with humans.

Opposed by a celestial realm inhabited by beings of purity.

A place where there is always music (and it absolutely slaps).

a constant struggle

Mizzurna Falls finally receives English translation patch after 20 years

Mizzurna Falls is a 1998 PlayStation adventure game developed by Human Entertainment. Heavily inspired by cult classic TV show Twin Peaks, the game follows high schooler Matthew Williams as he searches for his close friend, Emma Roland, who has gone missing. Notable for its unique blend of open-world gameplay, a real-time clock that sees NPCs and events following their own schedules, emphasis on exploration, and elaborate action sequences, Mizzurna Falls is considered a forerunner to later titles such as Deadly Premonition, Shenmue, and Majora’s Mask. However, Mizzurna Falls was on the bleeding edge of technology at the time, and its ambitious open-world was ultimately too much for the PlayStation to handle, resulting in a number of bugs.

Many efforts have been made to translate Mizzurna Falls into English, the most notable of which involved professional translator Resident Evie and PlayStation hacker Gemini. While Evie produced a full translation of the game’s enormous script, the effort ultimately fizzled out. The primary obstacle was that, when translated into English, the game’s script was simply too large to fit on a PlayStation disk. However, Evie released her translated script in the hopes that another hacking group could one day use it to develop a working patch.

This project, developed by nikita600 and Cirosan, does exactly that, using Evie’s script as a base. Nikita, a professional mobile game developer, and Cirosan, a professional translator and localization editor, collaborated over the course of several months to finally develop a working translation patch for Mizzurna Falls. Nikita developed a tool specifically for use with Mizzurna Falls that used a new compression algorithm to fit more text onto the disk than was ever possible before. Despite that, the game’s script was still too large to fit, which is where Cirosan came in. Fundamentally rewriting and editing a majority of Evie’s script (with her blessing), Cirosan produced a script for Mizzurna Falls that was able to fit onto the disk without sacrificing coherence, quality, or significant plot points. The result is a full localization of Mizzurna Falls that helps dialogue sound more natural and conversational, in addition to altering certain characters and elements to be more effective with Western audiences. Most of the work on the patch was done under quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic; Nikita and Cirosan communicated via Discord to develop the patch.

This patch represents a supreme effort by Evie, Nikita, and Cirosan, across three countries and over a period of many months and years, to bring this revolutionary game to Western audiences. Welcome to Mizzurna Falls - we’ve been waiting for you.

The chatlogs.

You read them.

We came.

Now you must come with us.

Word of Advice

Don’t go looking into why “Chris-Chan” is trending on Twitter right now. If ever there was “cursed knowledge” this is it.

Seriously, don’t.
