Well, I've finally gone and done it. This past week or so I've been putting together a team to make a large-scale western Touhou fangame, with the intention to eventually sell it at events like Comiket (and, of course, to make a fun kick-ass game.)
We already have a finished rough draft of the story (Babybahamut, great writer!), a talented musician who has agreed to make our 32 track OST(tyvb, great stuff so far), and a talented portrait artist (Formless God... We'll, you're well acquainted here.), and I've got the programming well in hand, but we're short some pixel artists - we need people to make sprites and tilesets.
I'm pretty sure this is most real a large scale western Touhou fangame has gotten, and so if you think you could fill one of those roles then we'll be really close to actually having a full team and a complete plan, which is pretty amazing.
Other than that, as stuff gets done I'll probably post milestones etc.
