Title: Touhou 「Age of Ethanols」
Post by: Helepolis on August 16, 2009, 03:55:51 PM: Touhou 「Age of Ethanols」
Our girls are conquering the entire universe it seems. As if Touhouvania wasn't crazy enough; now a real-time-strategy game is in the make carrying the name: 'Age of Ethanol'. Judging from the name, Ibuki Suika is going to play a major role here.

Obviously the game is a spin off from the rather popular series: 'The Age of Empires' by a circle group called: Neetpia. There is little known about the game, except a trial version being sold on Comiket 76. Admire the only screenshot available for viewing.

The only available picture so far from their website.

I am quite curious for any new material such as screenshots and videos, as Age of Empires 1 and 2 have been my favorite childhood games.

Post by: Helepolis on August 16, 2009, 09:32:49 PM: I bet there are buildings like 'Nitori's workshop' or 'Reisen's Weaponry' I wonder if we have priests that can convert people like in Age of Empires 1 'AYOHOYO' !

I still remember a scenario that forced you to convert people to win.

Post by: Helepolis on August 17, 2009, 05:12:00 PM: The trial version was sold on Comiket 76. It is not free for download or anything. Depends on if the makers decide to put it for free on their website. Try checking it daily to see if they by any chance allow free download.

The screenshot looks extremely BETA though, as I don't see anything to gather as a resource (noticing the top resource items: Mushrooms, Beer?, Gate and Point item?)

Post by: Oestrogen on August 18, 2009, 08:54:07 AM: The author posted an update on the homage, apparantly all is well and he's pretty happy (sold out). Patch is also up...

Post by: Helepolis on August 19, 2009, 06:39:52 AM: Same, it was a shame Patchcon was not a multiplayer game as the core was already there. Two library shelfs would have been awesome for 1 on 1 battles.

Post by: ♛ Apher-Forte on August 20, 2009, 12:08:31 PM: any idea when the full release will be out?

This looks mighty interesting, consider I just finished Age of Empires 3 campaigns not long ago.

Post by: Helepolis on September 01, 2009, 02:44:28 PM: I did some digging again on ze interweb and all I could bump in was another screen where you see Alice fishing and Youmu chopping wood? ( Made me lol )

Aside from that =( Still nothing new to report.

Post by: Helepolis on January 05, 2010, 10:11:51 AM: Comiket 77 ended and it seems like a new screenshot has been posted on Neetpia's site.
