Hello maidens, or whatever y'all call yourselves on here. Happy Halloween. This is Naudiz of DOGSDAY, and you guys are in for a treat. No tricks here, I swear! Without further ado, I proudly present... [attachimg=1 align=center] 東方宝天京 ～ Treasure Castle Labyrinth. (STG ver) This is Touhou Houtenkyou (Eastern Treasure Heaven Capital) ~ Treasure Castle Labyrinth... the game! This is the real deal, alright. Check out the PV here. Chances are that you know Treasure Castle Labyrinth as a music album from 2014, but its concept has existed for a long 13 years. And now, D.Byte of Reverie Promenade is cooperating with DOGSDAY to turn it into a fully-fledged shooting game! The first trial of the game is out now! Click here! Now, shall we enter the labyrinth? Plot Summary --- Quote ---A strange rumor had very recently spread throughout Gensokyo. "I found a place where you can get tons of treasure!" "I went in to look for treasure, but I started seein' things, and I lost all my valuables." "If you enter that labyrinth, mysterious things will happen..." ...And so on. Nearly everyone was gossiping about a huge labyrinth full of treasure. Surprisingly enough, this supposed treasure was located somewhere up in Heaven. Humans shouldn't normally have been able to get into Heaven, but according to those who'd been there, they'd been guided there by a "three-colored lantern". Reimu, Marisa and Sanae went to search for someone who knew more about the lantern. The three heroines each found a companion, each with their own objective in mind. And so, they set out on an adventure in search of the treasure's hiding place. With lamplight in hand, the six ventured into the labyrinth, which almost seemed to become a glimmering galaxy as soon as one set foot inside... --- End quote --- Features * A revamped story and updated art and character designs, courtesy of D.Byte. * A remastered soundtrack, courtesy of Pesot.jp/. * A main game consisting of six stages, plus a substantial amount of extra content.

Behold!!! Treasure Castle Labyrinth has been one of my favorite Touhou fanworks for a long time, and I'm over the moon about getting to help make it into a full game. :) (Officially, no less!) I hope you all enjoy the new music, danmaku and everything else when the demo comes out in the next week or two!! |
| WishMakers:
I'm both amazed that this is even happening at all and also surprised that nobody has tried to do this sooner. Looking forward to seeing what comes of this! |

It's never been that hard for me to find something wrong with a trial version. First of all seeing all these people, d.byte, pesot.jp, Kuroha/Crystalwing (hope it's more than just one song in the trial though, kind of funny seeing as the game borrows oxygen mechanic from MB [tho it's closer to ADP] for Seki fight), gilde, Naudiz, Mino and others work together on something I wish was real since the original CD came out kind of warms my heart. Secondly, sure, the game does get screen busy a lot, but you even implemented a Colourblind option in case (which while it only changes ghosts to letters, it's still an appreciated effort). Thirdly, god the music and everything in between, dialogues, background, aesthetic, it really suits TLC to a T. It's one of the better looking fangames right now and it doesn't sacrifice performance from what I've seen. Maybe it's because just like with Nansei and Touhou UotAR I just know what's coming and I'm hyped to see my favorites being remade, but still, it does add to the experience. Good luck, especially with all these postgame stages. I really hope Tenxka (if she's still in, would be weird not to see her) looks more like she did originally, rather than how every single Youtube upload portrays her. |
