(EDIT from August 30th, 2024): The basis of this has been massively expanded since then, to the point that I already have a fleshed out fangame out of it! Check it out! ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=PKndIirW3EA

Hello guys! So, here's something way different than what I usually show in this channel.
For the past three months, ever since GameMaker became widely available to the public, I've taken the opportunity to see if it's possible to make a Touhou-like engine with it. And thus, here's the result so far.
It's not perfect, but it still very closely resembles the gameplay and visual aesthetics of the original Touhou games. Words aren't enough to describe how pleased I am with the work I've done with this.
So yeah, details about this project of mine are shown throughout the video, enjoy!
Let me know in the comments what do you guys think about this.

This is the Title Screen theme.
Title themes are usually laid-back, but considering the current circumstances where Gensokyo is at stake of being ravaged by an unknown threat, I composed something more menacing.
The singing voice says “Rain falls in the Dream”, by the way. I initially wanted to record that line by myself, but singing isn’t my forte. Regardless, I was still pleased by its inclusion. After all, the digitized speech gives the song a more Outside World-esque feeling than usual.

This is the Stage 1 theme.
Some people I know think that rains are depressing. Personally, I think they’re quite relaxing. The raindrops really make you feel that you’re being cleansed of all worries. The protagonists can’t relax, however. Gensokyo is literally on the brink of being flooded.
“Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field” and “Native Faith” being present in the song doesn’t mean they are the wrongdoers, though. That’s just what the protagonists think.
