Thread 49905217

Some of you might remember this fan game from a few years back.
It made a big splash and ZUN even played it on stream but it got taken down since it used non-free art. It recently got reuploaded with all original art and newhus!
https://unityroom.com/games/love-train

The one thing I remember about this game is that when playing it ZUN said Alice had very few friends

>>49905366
but alice has lots of friends

i liked the matching poses, little things like that makes my dick hard

>>49905217 (OP)
I don't really understand the bonuses but its kinda fun

>>49905366
Why is ZUN like this

>>49905366
not just that Alice has few friends, but that one of the people she is close to is Medicine. How that relationship works, I cannot understand, but there you go.

>>49905750
I really do wonder what Medicine is up to sometimes

>>49905217 (OP)
I lost a run because Kanako isn't friends with Yuiman apparently.

>>49905842
it's not about canon relations, it's about scores related to pixiv art tags
I made the same mistake trying to pick Nue and Chimi.

>>49905540
translated some of the images
points are based off amount of tags on pixiv. get a 10x multiplier every 10 pairs, and a handful of multipliers for rare or new characters

>>49905842
I'd expect all the non-demo Touhou 20 characters to be dead ends right now. They need a pixiv ship tag to work with this game, and even then, I'm not sure if it gets data live or is based on the data available at some fixed time. I would expect the latter since I doubt it's querying pixiv for every move you make.

>>49905904
>>49905944
So fanon, not canon, got it.

>>49905948
It's even more narrow. It's based on pixiv uploads and tags. You could have a ton of doujins pushing a ship and it wouldn't move the needle if they aren't on pixiv and tagged appropriately.

>>49905842
I'm not sure you can even get to the FW characters.

>>49905750
>How that relationship works, I cannot understand, but there you go.
Its a no brainer that the doll turned youkai would become friends with a dollmaker. About the poison? Well, Alice didn't stop being a filthy muggle for nothing

>>49906086
it's a bit more of a brainer how someone who gets violent over the mistreatment of dolls befriended someone who fills her dolls up with gunpowder and tosses them at her enemies

>>49906094
Those dolls are 100% willing to do it for Alice, however, sacrificing themselves for the greater good. If there's someone in Gensokyo that would join Medicine's activism towards better treatment towards dolls, that one is Alice

apparently satono x okina only has 1 picture

>>49906149
>Those dolls are 100% willing to do it for Alice
I thought Alice controlled all her dolls herself

>>49906149
I've always thought Kogasa or any of the other Tsukumogami would be a more interesting pairing for her. They've all got some sort of abandonment complex going on.

>>49906187
Once Alice controls you, you too will be 100% willing.

what just happened?

>>49906198
son biten only has 964 uploads and appears in 19

>>49906187
The dolls are an extension of her will. Besides, Alice keeps them in top condition always, treating them as if they were her children (which they kind of are). And Medicine also violently poison humans who get into her territory, so it goes both ways.

>>49906232
Ah I see
does Iku go with anyone other than Tenshi and Tojiko? I figured Raiko would work given the thunder powers but I guess not

Uh-oh.

>>49906266
I'd say Eika or Waggy because fish but maybe Toyohime because of her game?
seems like a dead end one way or another

>>49906246
The image you posted helped me figure out the artist behind this other image I really liked. Thanks!

biggest clutch of my entire fucking life

there's my high score. Once I got to Merry with Yukari, Renko, and Sumireko used up, I knew it was over. I honestly think the only shot I might've had was if PC-98 characters were included, because I might've been able to swing the Merry/Mima pairing off of Lost Word.

>>49906301
meanwhile I tried to pair Hatate with Sumi and I got sourgraped

well that's surprising

Yorihime and Reisen is somehow not a match fuck this shit

>>49906355
The scoring is kind of broken. Check this out.
Both new faces. Both have no other pairings. 2500 multiplier. Truly the strongest ship!
>>49906443
We need undercover /jp/ artists to upload new ships to pixiv just to unrig Alice's game.

>>49905217 (OP)
>>49905540
thumbnail looks like alice is giving me the finger
well, fuck you too, alice

>>49906355
okay, here's my real best run

>>49905818
Right now, she's asleep

>>49906498
nice I have only managed to get three complete rows so far

>>49906248
>does Iku go with anyone other than Tenshi and Tojiko
Wakasagihime maybe?

>>49906355
It's weird that there's no Rinnosuke either, despite CoLA's nameless book reading bird youkai being present.

>>49906702
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, Rei'sen isn't in too which makes the Watatsuki's/LoLK bunnies hard to match

>>49906498
the real strategy seems to be to stack those x10000 bonuses alongside the other ones
got 500k score just from kosuzuXtokiko
but i'm guessing tokiko is a complete dead end

>>49908382
without Rinnosuke, Tokiko's probably a dead end and Keine's kind of hard to pair if other INhus are gone. I haven't tried it, but maybe Tokiko might work with Reimu just because there's a picture or two of Reimu beating her up and stealing her book from her?

>>49908398
yeah, tokiko x reimu exists, but then again reimu probably has at least one with everyone else
Might be a good idea to keep her and marisa as wild cards

It's really hard to pair Miyoi up that late in.

So many shipping pros here, Alice would be proud.

For a 1st try I did pretty good
My loss was Eiki on Lily, it may seem dumb but they both started in PoFV and are old so I hoped a random pic would have saved me. From there, I would have had a whole route from Lily to Dai to Wriggle (Team 9 memes) to Mystia (stage proximity a la Parsee & Yuugi) to Kyouko (Concert buddies) to Aunn (Both helpful green "dogs") to either Shinmy/Shion (Hakurei household) to Seija/Joon and then possibly Nue/Tenshi.

>>49913118
Lots of smart moves here I like how you plugged Sanae and Hecatia and Keiki and Alice
Lily is is kind of a pain in the ass I think you can only pair her up with other fairies or Letty/Yuki/Akis because of the seasons

>>49908542
jesus

What pairings do you want to be usable? I hope Akyuu/Ariya and Nue/Chimi work eventually

>>49918142
Nina/Eika Nina/Hecatia Nina/Sumireko
Anything with Nina really

>>49918142
i'm kinda surprised how many unusual ones there are already.
like there are 27 DaiyouseiXLunasa for some reason despite the sisters having barely anything at all with the other EosD girls
i don't even play with the new girls unlocked since i feel like they're all dead ends at this point

>>49918142
I just tried Medicine with Wriggle and it gameovered me. Fucking retarded. They both pair with Yuuka.

Heres something fun.
All ships from Flan to Lily only have one pic each.
Thats the longest chain i've found so far

I've spend like 15 hours on this silly little browsergame already, god bless the guy who made it

>>49918142
Raiko/Kagerou doesn't work even though there's four pictures for the tag
https://www.pixiv.net/en/tags/%E9%9B%B7%E3%81%8B%E3%81%92/artworks?ai_type=1

>>49919146
Is it a new tag?
It wouldn't surprise me if there are people who suddenly got around to tagging ships just to improve the game.

>>49906188
Kogasa could make some cool armor for her dolls with her metalworking. Not a bad pairing.
>>49906288
Your welcome, anon. Enjoy.

getting a big score is that easy bros

i need some high point chain

>>49926568
>big score
yeah, real cute

are they okay?

kill yourselves out of /jp/

>>49927151
What do you mean Flandre/Letty

>>49927428
fucked innit
