When Touhou meets Golgo 13: Cirno 9 – a tale of boredom …

null

After playing one too many rounds of the 1999 arcade game Golgo 13, the idea was simply irresistable to me, especially since I was looking for a quick and easy game idea to code into existence.

As usual, said idea was neither quick nor easy but it was still amusing to think about.

Basically, it’s what you get when you crossover random Touhou fandom memes, and a precision-based sniper game. (sans lightgun, unfortunately)

It’s just a one-level demo at this point, and by the time I got to programming the level, my head hurt so it’s kind of simplistic, but I thought it would be interesting to see the reaction to something random like this.

But until then, in my typical analytical style, I can’t take it lying down. I’m very bad at admitting I simply like things because I do, and so it’s time to dig up the roots of, at least, my Touhou fandom and shine some light on some of the intriguing, curious, or just plain weird ends of the Touhou universe.

There’s a method to every madness, and it’s time to find mine, in this mini-series of mini-posts. And target number one …
