Nightmare Taxation

The Rumour Come Out: Does Nightmare Taxation Has Bluesky? The answer is yes: @/nightmaretaxation.bsky.social I'll still use Twitter, I'll just be posting the same stuff to both. There's no real reason for it other than it appears Touhou Twitter might be making the exodus over.

@Shima_musicline The response (as of writing) seems very mixed, why not make it an option so the player can decide? PC-98 purists can turn it off, while people who want to see the hitbox can turn it on. Either way, it's already implemented and has new sprites, it would be a shame to waste them.

I played the stage 1 demo for 東方焔天楼 〜 Prominence Dreamer by @Shima_musicline Very promising fangame exactly to my tastes! Exited to see where this project goes! Playthrough that includes my thoughts and a small list of bugs in the description: youtu.be/dJ5qbpBCD-s?si…

Touhou 20 Extra clear video, yes I used the cheese (factual proof that the moon is made of cheese, thank you ZUN). Surprised the update isn't out yet, I guess I wasn't punished for my laziness haha... youtu.be/p-LZ4m4JfuE

I didn't see even a single fake Touhou game announcement this April fools, there's usually at least a couple each year. Come to think of it, I didn't see ANY kind of April fools joke for anything, did everyone forget?

Touhou 20 video, a few months late lol. youtu.be/F6W2fq4xs3A?si…

My first Touhou 3 Normal 1cc, ever. Unquestionably the hardest Normal 1cc in any of the games, even Easy mode is harder than a decent few Lunatic 1cc's...

Maybe the real Chain of Lucidity was the friends we made along the way. Only uses colours from UDoALG sprites so it looks bit off, I'll fix that if I make a full sheet. Finally figured out how to do the hair better, hands too (somewhat). [Insert Mukai art tag here]

My phone died suddenly so I lost my BotC save; even if I replayed on a new phone, there'd be (I think exactly) one event item which isn't available anymore lol. (Also I wouldn't want to do all the grinding again anyway considering NewBotC won't have save carryover...)

It seems that (some of) Mukai's bullet sprites are carried over from Popfan's old Touhou bullet sprites. Most are redrawn completely to not be obvious recreations, but some are still the same (or near enough). Left is Touhou-style Bullets 2.0. Right is spriterip from CoL.

Seeing what I got right in my Touhou 20 predictions now that the game's been out for a while. Didn't take a genius to figure out stage 4 would change based on stone, but I did predict that the Egypt theme ends at stage 4; most people seemed to think it would persist to stage 6.

Is there any actual source for this claim of Lily originally being the stage 4 boss OR the claim that Fairy of Flower was not just a boss theme instead of a stage one, but specifically Lily's? The source provided is just ZUN's old site were he just says it's unused and from PCB.

-Overall: Pretty fun, looks, sounds and plays good; tons of replayability too. First Touhou in a long time which I can just call "good" without an asterisk. Last time that happened for me was LoLK. Very happy, shame about the ai but whatever; at least it's only a bit ugly once.

-Newhus are cool looking, they look a little stranger than usual but still good, probably grow on me over time (seen some awesome fanart of S6 boss which really changed my opinion on the design for example). -Michigami and the S6 boss have tiny boss sprites while Ex is HUGE, odd.

I was going to post my blind first playthrough of Touhou 20, but the first time I decide to save a replay to record it later it desyncs lol. First Impressions: -Played on Easy because I didn't want to run out of continues at the end because demo was hard and resources scarce.

-Don't really know the plot yet, I've heard bits and pieces but I'll wait for a final opinion after the first few days of misinformation, but currently It's really strange; even if there seem to be some cool dynamics hidden under it. Grimsokyo fans got something at least haha.

-Stage 6 looks amazing, the bones sticking out look kind of odd as flat textures instead of models but whatever, minor nitpick. -New stage enemies! Beyond the obvious, the fairies in stage 5 might be new edits??? Don't remember the green hat ones anywhere off the top of my head.
