This page details one or more prototype versions of Touhou Juuouen: Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost.

This page documents the unfinished (get it?) trial version, which was released at Reitaisai 20 on May 7, 2023.

To do:
v0.02a is out

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically:

  • front/wavetitle.png contains messages related to victory that can already be found at front/gameset.png
  • Weird files in ability.anm

Leftovers from Earlier Games#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically:

  • ascii/clear.png, ability/abilitymenu2.png, notice_01.png - 100BM leftover?

Located at front/ename.png is a sprite sheet of the names that can appear in the enemy life bar HUD of 100th Black Market. There isn't an ename_tr.png, as the aforementioned piece of HUD doesn't exist in this game.

Located at trophy_tr.txt is the achievements description file from Unconnected Marketeers' trial version. The Achievements menu is disabled in this version.

Unused Extra Story#

Present on the title screen for the trial version is a grayed-out option for an "Extra Story," a staple of most mainline Touhou games. Such an option is not present in the final game, which is consistent with the other two Phantasmagoria games being the only other mainline games (besides the first two) to not have an extra stage. This option seems to have been replaced with "Online VS Mode" in the final version.

Unused Graphics#

title.anm seems to be an early version of the actually used titletr.anm, with the following files missing:

face/pl05
face/pl06
title/chara/chara05.png
title/chara/chara06.png
title/chara/story01.png
title/chara/story04.png
title/chara/story05.png
title/chara/story06.png

Development Text#

To do:
These are probably around for a good while, move to the games that those were introduced
