Sharing the impoverished times together, more than a year on this place, more than six years in entirety.
It’s been a very long while. I haven’t changed that much regarding my liking for the game. More like time makes it pass that I was almost on the verge of forgetting it. But no matter. I always upheld my support for the Impoverished Miko, and as the Impoverished Otaku, I think I should carry on with it.
Touhou never fails to mesmerize people with its beautiful patterns, hard-as-concrete difficulty, witty characters, and supernatural storyline. Touhou creator ZUN opened his universe for the fans with expectations that the people who appreciate his work would understand and patronize them more than he can. What he expected happened, but he didn’t expect something as grandslam as his legacy is as of now.
Toranoana’s got my attention right now. When I keyed in “RVR-00 Phoenix” on the search query, an item came up under doujin music:
That’s some badass rendition, though overly emphasizing.
Though I was carried away by the art itself, it seems that it’s a doujin soundtrack from Thunderforce VI. IF this was the original ST I’d be quick as hell to order it. But as for this, we can always wait for DEM PAIREETS to rip this off for us to satisfy ourselves.
Before I could even start a pet project for Thunderforce-tan mecha-musume, someone already beat me to it with this nice little Phoenix-tan from γΎγγγ(Marukata) of PIXIV:
Kinda off…
I have designs that are way different than this one, since I take the original ship’s designs and structure into consideration (yeah, I’m such a perfectionist). But until I start drawing those, I’ll cross my fingers for now. At least I do know the Phoenix is going to take a bit of a priority.
New images of the new starfighters for Thunderforce VI came out today, in full wallpaper size glory.
MAN IT!
Both seem to keep their logos in affiliation, Rynex to the GF (Galaxy Federation), Phoenix to TF/UEF (Thunderforece/United Earth Fleet). Strange enough, the TF/UEF faction dons the Guardian’s Heart emblem. Tribute to the AI? Or maybe something that the AI did? Who knows?
The guys from Thunderforce Forever got caught off guard when Technosoft suddenly announced Thunderforce VI. They were in the middle of doing a fan-made side-shooter nicknamed Thunder Future, which is still under development as of now. They recently released a video for their progress:
It seems that the starfighter of choice is still good ol’ Rynex. No specifications on other weapons and CRAWs yet, except for the demonstrated Hunter weapon. No Over Weapons either, and I presume it’s still under development. As to why they’re still using Rynex, who knows. It’s everyone’s oldest little starfighter anyways. It’s meant to kick galactic ass.
Most of the news and updates are posted on their site, so it you want an additional zap to that much anticipated Thunderforce VI, you might as well anticipate this too. Now, if only Captain Falcon were to man this baby so he can deliver our most anticipated FALCON PUNCH. Then again, nobody needs to get punched in the gut for instant abortion. At least not yet.
