You do realize Touhou is a hard game, right?

And the autistic masses on the internet gush about how Sans from Undertale is the hardest video game boss ever. Then you add the countless amounts of videos on Youtube of people who struggle with him. And yet Sans is much more easier than Remilia or Byakuren on normal mode.

Huh. Is it bad to get into touhou now, today? I tried really hard back in like 2005 (I played a lot of PCB and Imperishable Night) but bounced off it pretty hard. There simply wasn't enough english language material back then, either. Also, I was dumb back then.

Touhou's popularity hasn't really changed. It's about as popular as it was during SA, if Google ( >>16040673 ) is any indicator.

That's not a great thing. It seems to be following a bell curve in popularity.

It's all good though, ZUN is just busy with real world things. He's probably more money conscious since he is responsible for the lives of three people now, which is why he's trying to branch out with ULiL being released on the PS4 and stuff. His Comiket appearances will definitely drop.

I think we'll see another Touhou stg in 2017 though. The mainline games are what draw crowds, and money.

ZUN could just get rich quick by approving one of the fan translations and putting all his games on Steam in both languages. The name Touhou sells good and coupled with the amount of games he'd absoloutely have no problem sustaining himself.

Google Trends shows the interest over the last several years has been roughly the same, although the spikes for each new release haven't replicated the same results compared to 2009 and 2011.

>ZUN is the sole source of income for his family because Japan has no rights for pregnant women. No maternity leave, etc. These things contribute to their population issue.
But that's totally wrong. Japan maternity leave is 14 weeks at 66% pay through social insurance: 6 weeks before birth, 8 weeks after. Following this period, child care leave then lasts until the child reaches one year old, at 50% pay.
