Touhou Project Games [better] -

1. Overview The Touhou Project (Japanese: 東方Project, Tōhō Purojekuto ) is a legendary bullet-hell shoot ’em up (shmup) series created almost entirely by a single independent developer known as ZUN (real name: Jun’ya Ōta). What began as a small project for the Japanese PC-98 computer in the mid-1990s has grown into one of the most prolific and influential franchises in doujin (self-published) game history. Known for its intricate pattern-based combat, memorable characters, and soaring electronic-jazz soundtrack, Touhou has become a cultural phenomenon—especially famous for its massive fan community that produces music, art, games, and animation. 2. Developer: ZUN and Team Shanghai Alice ZUN handles programming, art (pixel and later low-resolution character art), music composition, story, and game design. The only help he typically receives is for packaging, debugging, or guest appearances. Since Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (2002), the games have been published under the circle name Team Shanghai Alice .
