Love to see Doujin used correctly.
You've already mentioned Melty Blood & Touhou so I have to break out a few other Comiket games:

Cho Ren Sha 68K (1995)

Kanon (1999, trailers from the Dreamcast port circa 2000)

Cave Story (2004)

Fate/Stay (2004)

Love to see Doujin used correctly.

Thanks? I mean I could've said "dōjin" for a more accurate spelling but some sites don't accept unorthodox accents (and "dôjin" looks a bit weird), I think "ou" for the "long o" is a specificity from English (since "oo" would've been misspoken). Ironically in French it's the reverse issue because "ou" is pronounced like the English "oo" so we had to spell it "oo" instead to make it look like a long o.

But enough digression.

Thanks. I need to do Cho Ren Sha 68.000 for good this time (I have the Windows port).

On the other hand Cave Story + can be avoided and play CSE2 which is a sourceport from the fanmade tribute site https://www.cavestory.org/.

Thanks for Kanon by the way.

I meant correctly because I know a lot of people who exclusively associate Doujin/Doujinshi to NSFW Material
Opposed to it being a descriptor for fan projects/Independent self published endeavours. It's very much a lost in translation term, at least in Europe.

Ah... Ow.

I also know that doujin is often synonym with parody (which includes pornographic material next to humorous version) but I guess it's the issue when something becomes popular for a different reason than its original intent. In Europe and probably the west in general, North America included.

From the fighting game thread:

since I've mentioned Melty Blood.

Ragnarok Battle Offline made by french-bread which is also the creator of Melty Blood. Check it out it's great and addictive gameplay and a bangin soundtrack and if you played RO back in the day it's even better.

Doujin IS the accurate spelling.
