Touhou Danmakufu (東方弾幕風, lit. "Eastern Barrage-style") is a relatively easy-to-use STG maker program which leans toward making Touhou Project-style games with a C-like programming language.
There are currently two versions of the engine. The original Danmakufu was the first engine to allow fans to create their own Touhou-style games. However, development of it had ceased in 2006.
Danmakufu ph3 was a new and advanced version, which, though similar to Danmakufu v0.12m, is not compatible with the old engine. However, Danmakufu ph3 is much more flexible than the original Danmakufu.
After not being updated for several years, Danmakufu ph3 had its source code liberated in early 2019. Several forks with the purpose of improving and expanding upon the engine have been created, such as "Touhou Danmakufu ph3.5 Woo" and "Touhou Danmakufu ph3sx".
How to get
Danmakufu ph3 |
Danmakufu v0.12m | |
| Danmakufu ph3 is the new and advanced engine from mkm. It is similar to v0.12m, yet grants much more flexibility. In this engine, you can create things that are somewhat impossible to achieve in the old engine. Ph3 is no longer actively updated. The last update from the author was early 2015, and it subsequently had its source liberated in early 2019. | The original Danmakufu was the first engine from mkm to allow fans to create their own Touhou-style games. Development has been discontinued in a few years, and most people now use ph3 or some fork. However, this wiki still provides plenty of support. If you're new to Danmakufu, it is highly recommended that you start with ph3. |
