+Esados with a Lettuce Wouldn't the Moonlight Butterfly fight be closer to a stereotypical Touhou boss? Lots of magic bullets being fired out at you while you plink away at it with your ranged weapon...

Kuriz Guy Hmm well a weeaboo is someone who ditches their own culture and wants to be Japanese, while all I just wanted was to have a lot of figures of characters from my favourite gaming series. :)
In japan its normal to have someone else pour you your drinks. It's considered bad etiquette to drink by yourself, pour your own drinks, or drink straight from a bottle.
Well, duh, what would you expect from the creator of Touhou? XD (That said, just by looking at it, the enemy placement kind of looks like bullet hell... but still doable)
A Japanese guy That owns an entire “team” That create a hard but good and fun game That is a father to all Touhou characters That returns my memories That created a wonderful land Me, RUclips, the Internet won’t be the same in an alternate universe without you, thank you ZUN
a mario maker level made by a professional video game dev and gasp, there's no mini mario trap after the checkpoint flag? amazing it's almost like playing to the strengths of the game and not forcing shitty conditions on your player doesn't mean you're making an easy baby level.
He pretty much is, he worked for Taito for a few years. The game industry is terrible, and Touhou + whatever else he does is working out for him, so there's no need for him to bother anymore. When you sit down and take game development very seriously for decades like he has, you might as well call yourself a professional.
I'm not sure where your other comment went. It's way too easy to ask anyone how they feel about Undertale, not just ZUN. I like Undertale, but pound for pound any given Len'en game has more effort put into it (and there are four of them). There's a pretty decent number of good Danmakufu games, just off the top of my head: CtC, PT, MSD, RSS, BoSM, FoS, EBR, and potentially FFF and Pmom. There's also a handful of good non-Danmakufu games, like Len'en (except for BPoHC, of course), FDF, CM, SASC, and that other game I forget the name of. It's a miracle we have one good game in any of these groups, yet we have so many. But more importantly, Undertale doesn't really have anything to do with Touhou like the above games do. Toby played some Touhou and decided "alright, let's try some shmup elements in an RPG", but exactly 0% of the execution is anything like Touhou at all.
No, he really isnt. As an avid fan of Touhou Project, his games are simple and effective at best. He is by no means a genius, but he also isn't a slouch or hack either. He's a very modest game creator, and that's what makes him awesome.
Rodrgo Kaiser He does indeed make great music. Hell, he originally wanted to make game music so of course that's one of his strongest points (His weakest being artistic quality most likely).
ZUN, maker of games, music, amazing character designs, goofy comic stories, worldwide fandoms, people (he has two kids), and now Mario levels! This is why ZUN is such an inspiration: ZUN makes EVERYTHING! *EVERYTHIIING!!!*
Yep. His reasons for making Touhou are basically A. He just wanted to, and B. He wanted to make music for said games, also because he wanted to. No ulterior motives: he's just got a passion for games, music, and booze, all for their own sakes.
3:10 - This part. This part right here with the Magikoopas and the blocks. It's just pure genius. It's such a simple task, but it works really well. Props to you ZUN, you never cease to surprise me.
How do you think he came up with half the crazy bullsh*t he's done so far? He just gets nearly blackout drunk and then writes some code, writes part of the plot and collapses, waking up the next day so he can take care of the spritework and basic human necessities, only to repeat this process the next day
And you know STG just means "shooting game", right? Shmups can be horizontal just as easily as they can be vertical. Just look at R-Type, Deathsmiles, and a bunch of other horizontal shmups.
For those who are curious: we filmed this video at Touhou Project HQ in Tokyo! Here's a quick video tour I shot of the office: ruclips.net/video/OFcg8QRNyMg/видео.html
Where is this "Touhou Project HQ" in Tokyo? I'd guess Akihabara, but where? Can you visit that place without asking a special permission? I can't find anything about it.
***** It would make sense, but at the same time, I've seen ZUN living in a completely different house in another interview. The place in this video looks like something you could visit at any time.
Looks like ZUN is less reclusive with Western press these days, I'm pleasantly surprised. The level is about what I expected from the danmaku king himself. Though, without awesome music or lolis, its a pretty typical gitgud Mario Maker level.
I've came back to this video in some time after I've seen the final direct for Smash Ultimate. I've been amazed about ZUN making a level in Super Mario Maker like that. Not to mention ZUN also reminds me of Sakurai Masahiro and he does back too. But the problem is that I kinda feel bad about ZUN being underappreciated and Sakurai being disrespected sometimes. *cough* Piranha Plant *cough*
ZUN is really that underappreciated. He worked so hard on the official Touhou games with a lot of hearts and souls and people think he's too incompetent to put fanservice and boobies. Poor this guy.
Imo ZUN is in himself a gatekeep gate. Tbh all of touhou itself is a gate high enough for anyone to climb but they gotta put the effort. If you know who he is you're pretty much halfway there (at least out West i'm sure he's somewhat generously known in Asian countries and the likes).
I love Touhou Project. Seeing its creator make an incredible Super Mario Maker level is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before! Props to you, ZUN. You are a legend!
What a pleasant surprise to see this here! This is about what I expect from ZUN, it is indeed very similar to the games he makes, which is pretty awesome. I gotta say, the clown car hitbox mechanic is pretty clever.
in 2017, i saw this video from a mario maker side dunno why i clicked it, bold characters and game dev probably in 2021, i look through my history, to find the earliest time i could've recognised touhou and this is the earliest video in my history, the others were removed from my viewing...
This guy and Shigeru Miyamoto should become a great anime tag team. In fact, Touhou is a huge part of my childhood like Mario and Pokemon despite being an indie game series made by a single person. To be fair, my cousin was the one who introduced me to that franchise back in 2007 and my age of 8.
I kinda like the idea of him making a stage. It seems like people just try super hard to make a difficult stage. But the Touhou guy though commonly associated with difficulty, is actually extremely fair with his game design. Sure its hard, but its not big on cheap shots, you have a tiny hit box to compensate and take advantage of in order to win. It looks like he incorporated this idea somewhat into the stage.
I feel bad for this guy. He worked so hard on his official Touhou games to make these fun to play and so many people think he's too lazy to put fanservice.
"I don't drink every time I work"
That's a fucking lie and you know it, ZUN.
Not /every/ time.
Was about to say the same thing.
Hughmann f course
There's was like one time where he ran out of booze.
Yeah, and Marisa leaves people's house without half their possessions every once in a while.
"The vehicle has almost no hitbox."
_Gee, wonder where I`ve heard THAT before..._
R E I M U C U P
Idk
did you remember yet?
@@dumaass reimu from touhou 6 have like a single pixel of hitbox
@@hanjjaze yes
the moment when the creator of hell itself makes a fair mario maker level...
It's always fair xD He can beat his own games
Touhou is very fair.
touhou is fair and balanced
It actually is, when you think about it. The games are hard, but they certainly do have a learning curve
TheDiego908 Only if you play on Easy mode and spend 6 months making it through without getting hit. After that, you can start the difficulty curve.
Touhou getting official western console ports, ZUN getting a new baby daughter, Touhou 15.5 announcement. and I still can't beat a regular Touhou game without continues.
+SakakiShizuma Don't worry, same here. You're not alone.
Try this in Imperishable Night - probably easiest Touhou to 1cc.
You will get there with enough practice. Anyone can do it, and so can you!
Keep practicing! I was crap at first, but now I'm only two extra stages away from beating them all!
I recommend Imperishable night. That one is one of the easiest in the series and the one of the most generous in certain regards.
Really neat that ZUN tried to mimic Touhou with the Clown Car's hitbox.
I never would have thought of that.
I noticed that too
Kitsune Hawk it's not really a conscious attempt, just not using clouds..
I guess there is 1:05...
Aaand the next week ZUN makes a Dark Souls level
We already have that, Ancient Wyvern bossfight.
+Esados with a Lettuce Wouldn't the Moonlight Butterfly fight be closer to a stereotypical Touhou boss? Lots of magic bullets being fired out at you while you plink away at it with your ranged weapon...
Hey there! didn't expect to find you there! Awesome channel and please consider more 2hu :p
I agreed with moonlight butterfly
but with 3x speed, 2x more projectile, and around 3-5x def, especially against magic
FalKKonE I never thought I'd see you on here...
ZUN never leaves bullet hell... That's why I love that guy.
This comment section is empty...
Ye
The Devil in human form.
*except the devil isn't always drunk*
*probably*
Even the fighter games keep some bullet hell aspects
Dankamu is love. Dankamu is life.
Touhou 16: Super Gensokyo Maker
Touhou 16: Super Gensokyo SistersReimu lost her flying abilities and now she has to jump on enemies heads to kill them! (gl hitting the bosses now)
+ArachnoParadox™
but how is she supposed to jump on a single enemy that's really high up if she can't fly? Maybe she loses her ranged attacks and have to climb all the way up by chain/spin jumping on the slow projectiles they are sending down.
In the PC98 games Reimu couldn't fly and in the very first one she couldn't even shoot. She had to use a big Ying Yang ball to attack.
Space-churro nah, gensokyo is fine. mario maker isn't called platform game maker.
god damn that would be cool

JUST SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

**it is heaven**
Is it customary to give a free figure for a singular (non-company) copyright owner if GSC and the ilk makes a figure, I wonder.
Kuriz Guy Hmm well a weeaboo is someone who ditches their own culture and wants to be Japanese, while all I just wanted was to have a lot of figures of characters from my favourite gaming series. :)
does he have a professional beer pourer???
In japan its normal to have someone else pour you your drinks. It's considered bad etiquette to drink by yourself, pour your own drinks, or drink straight from a bottle.
Zadamanim. So you can just negate that by pouring eachother's beers into eachother's glasses..
That's exactly how it's supposed to work, lol.
Bier Bart - and that's the magic of frieeeeendship 🌈 :P
Call it a Beer Assistant
Of course he had to turn Mario into a danmaku. Is it even supposed to be surprising ?
Well, duh, what would you expect from the creator of Touhou? XD
(That said, just by looking at it, the enemy placement kind of looks like bullet hell... but still doable)
Tabbender maybe yes, maybe not...
i kind want to see how a dedicated mario level make by Zun would look like
this level was created on the go, no real thought put into it so
It's so much better than the constant Kaizo levels.
A Japanese guy
That owns an entire “team”
That create a hard but good and fun game
That is a father to all Touhou characters
That returns my memories
That created a wonderful land

was about to make this same comment. I really love his shirt.
i feel like all his character designs are based off something from his wardrobe, tbh

All hail ZUN, mighty creator of Gensokyo, and the Touhou Project, and many more!

I'm glad this video proves that SHUMP levels are still possible and well received.
Here's hoping some more good ones get made soon.
But this wasn't SHUMP/SHMUP. . . they were going from one left side to right side
It's still an STG tho

SHUMPS can be horizontal too.

I was almost wondering "Is this really Zun?" But then I saw the beer.
I liked the trick with the Magikoopa spells causing the enemies to fall onto you from above; I never thought of that sort of approach before.
-So Touhou Mario is canon?-
Seriously though, this was cool to see. ^^
Looks like ZUN is less reclusive with Western press these days, I'm pleasantly surprised.
The level is about what I expected from the danmaku king himself. Though, without awesome music or lolis, its a pretty typical gitgud Mario Maker level.
what are you talking about? that song, at least the remix of it in New super mario bros wii, is amazing

Maybe it is code but beer goggles make you see 3-4 of each single item.

And now this level, along with the rest of Mario Maker 1, is gone 😭
Unofficial servers baby
What a pleasant surprise to see this here! This is about what I expect from ZUN, it is indeed very similar to the games he makes, which is pretty awesome. I gotta say, the clown car hitbox mechanic is pretty clever.
Zun: Now let's make the hitbox really small and make the area with less space.
ZUN creates a bullet hell in a platformer game. One of the reasons why ZUN is one of my favorite video game developers.
in 2017, i saw this video from a mario maker side
dunno why i clicked it, bold characters and game dev probably
in 2021, i look through my history, to find the earliest time i could've recognised touhou
and this is the earliest video in my history, the others were removed from my viewing...
I've never seen a level use the clown car like this. That's really cool! I'm glad ZUN used his own style.
Just realized I've never heard ZUN's voice before, his voice is very pleasant.
"The vehicle has almost no hitbox"
Yeah that will be useful
> ZUN makes a Mario Maker level
> it's a bullet hell / pixel-perfect avoidance level

Si así es ZUN creando niveles en Mario Maker ni me imagino como sería en caso de que conociera Super Mario Bros X.
and of course he has beer
One of my favorite RUclips videos ever
Pretty cool that ZUN is making levels in Mario maker. I mean I knew that someone would eventually make a Touhou-esk level but, ZUN? That's amazing
Damn he has so much Touhou figurines in the back
Well its his characters
I mean I too would have figures of characters that I have created
Thank you ZUN!!
who would have thought that the touhou guy would make touhou?
Reimu Hakurei will appear in the next Super Smash Brothers game.
Fact.
I really hope she's DLC
Please.
I feel ZUN would love 3D World. It's basically the 2D games in 3D with the way you play, having power-ups and the flag pole at the end.
scuse me while I fangirl
