Touhou Kishinjou ~ Double Dealing Character (東方輝針城 ~ Double Dealing Character, lit. "Eastern Castle of Shining Needles"), known as DDC in the English speaking community, is the fourteenth official game of the Touhou Project. It was announced by ZUN on his personal blog on May 11, 2013, at 5:00 AM JST.[2] A playable demo containing the first three stages was released on May 26, 2013, at Reitaisai 10.
Gameplay
The three main playable characters will be Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame and Sakuya Izayoi. In-development screenshots show a spell practice mode, which was present in the game's predecessor, Ten Desires, as well as Imperishable Night.
Concept
ZUN focused on creating a simple game for Double Dealing Character, and thus he removed some complicated game mechanics in order to create what he calls a "neither new nor retro 2000s neo-retro danmaku shooter".[2] From the currently released screenshots, it does indeed appear that the unique gameplay system normally present in the series is absent, making it akin to Mountain of Faith in terms of style.
In his original blog announcement, ZUN stated that the resolution of the game would be quadrupled from 640×480 to 1280×960. He also said that the game was being developed to be resolution-independent, but that those with higher-end computers would be able to enjoy the higher resolution.
Story
Plot
The individual weapons of the three protagonists started acting oddly; meanwhile, various youkai began to rebel. It's their job to either take their weapons in hand and fight the youkai, or to cast their weapons aside.
Press
Double Dealing Character was first announced on ZUN's personal blog on May 11, 2013, along with a short explanation of the gameplay, confirmation on the playable characters and five in-development screenshots. It also included a basic story outline.[2]
Music
Currently, the demo version of the game holds 7 tracks.
