How did this game developer become so successful if his games are generic bullet hell. I need to understand this

because people like cute girls who doesnt like cute girls glory to the CCP

it's the call of duty of bullethells

Probably him being real lenient with letting others use his IP. Good music also helps.

>>714311654 (OP)
It's almost exclusively due to the way he treats his IP as total fair use.

>>714312027
the side content (zombies) is the best part about it?

right time and luck

>creates the market
>WHY HE SUCCESS
gee I dunno

>>714311654 (OP)
Really really good soundtracks and Japanese porn autism.

why TF is his art style so SOVLFVL i dont even like 2hu but the art is kino

>>714312654
Not completely total, there are a bunch of rules that need to be followed, publishing to steam and itch is fair game but consoles need his approval

Thoughts on the animal gangfight arc?

>literal who

>>714311654 (OP)
Cute girls, good music, and encouraging fans to go nuts with fan projects.

I love /v/hus!

>>714313652
>really good soundtrack
and his amateurish character art that makes artists want to redraw them better.
there would be no creative incentives if ZUN was a really good artists, in other words it is mainly his defaults that make his qualities.
his soulful amateurism is what makes people want to partake in his project.
there is something very beautiful about this
bless him

Is this cris?

In a recent guidelines revision anime was specifically listed as not allowed to be sold unless it's through youtube's, twitch, etc's monetization system.
If you want to sell music based on his music the only option other than monetization is having to go through one of the 4 approved japanese music publishers.
I heard the Mystia Izayaka devs got in trouble for the switch port because Zun didn't like them having OCs among his characters or something so that's a new unofficial rule

>>714311654 (OP)
He created Mima.

Chris-chan became popular because of Moot.

People love earnest efforts by people who persevere even despite all their shortcomings.

Kemono Friends is another honest expression of this and once some souless ghoul corp stepped once, everyone walked away.

I've only played Luna Nights and absorbed the lore by osmosis. But I love the bands inspired by the games. Unlucky Morpheus BTFO most of the power metal bands I've listened to, or it's just me not liking the genre. Either way, great legacy

>>714311654 (OP)
Well for one he's not a game developer by trade. His full time job is in Cybersecurity, Shaghai Alice is a side gig at best. Second it largely comes down to him making something that was very aesthetically receptive to the 90's/00's Comiket audience. That audience had a cultural grip on the Eastern side of the internet at the time and the sheer momentum from so many people producing fan works has propelled it to a sorta legendary status.

>People love earnest efforts by people who persevere even despite all their shortcomings
does that apply to ZUN though? he's kind of a genius, his only shortcoming would be his art, but as i said in an earlier post it turns out his art is actually one of his biggest asset since it generated so much fan art

What the fvark

>>714314943
Indeed. The guy knew what he wanted, he knew what audience wanted. 90's and 00's were a great time for many niche things, many of which blew up in their own way. ZUN had consistency on his side in addition of his games sparking fan imagination and fan products.

This couldn't be done nowadays, since internet and fan artist culture is primarily motivated my money instead of imagination.

Despite what everyone who sucks his cock says, he just forced himself into relevancy.
Started off by making shitty games with code he stole from when he worked at Taito (reason he got the boot) then he went on to shill himself to doujin events for unrelated stuff like TYPE-MOON, earning himself a worshipping fanbase.
Toby Fox repeated the same strategy which gave us the Undertale fandom.

He reminds me of Toby Fox

Both are shitty hacks that got carried by their fanbase with pure fucking luck.

Good thread

He manages at least one decent new character per game and there were already like 50 others if you don't personally enjoy that one. Part of the way the characters express their personality is through the design of their patterns. People who call Touhou generic or bad are mostly upset that it slacks a bit in places that traditional shmup design demand high effort. It's only really noticeable if you're decently into the genre, and even then you're not guaranteed to be put off that much by it. So the games accomplish their goals of expressing the characters just enough for people to get attached, and then side materials and fanworks drive continuous engagement.

>>714311654 (OP)
imo it's just first mover advantage
he was in the market relatively early, kept up output, and was lenient with his IP which allowed his concepts to proliferate

because he started in the late 90s

Thoughts?

how do I get the tohou /v/ comunity to shill my games?

He is a great musician and has good character design ideas even if he is a terrible illustrator.
>generic bullet hell
Touhou games play very differently from CAVE games or Psikyo games, so it earned it's own niche. And Touhou is arguably the reason shooting games are still alive today to begin with.

you know how you see gacha characters, and then in game they're literally all just chibi shits and there's no gameplay? And you wonder why the actual fuck there's 20,000 pictures on pixiv of some random character from the game taking dog cock?

It's the same thing except 20 years earlier and without the gacha.
