- Week 59: Take a look at our Workshop! - 13 September 2026
Hey everyone, it's time for our weekly update!Before we get into the main topic, let's briefly go over our current development progress: the three final bosses in Stage 3 of the Tournament have all been completely remade!Based on feedback from the first round of testing, we felt that these three bosses' designs and performance still weren't up to par for final bosses, so we made a firm decision to spend an entire week designing unique, never-before-seen special mechanics for each of them—ones that are also plenty of fun.This isn't just us tooting our own horn—our testers have also expressed satisfaction with these designs. Please look forward to the moment you encounter them in the game!Steam Workshop Mod IntroductionThe Steam Workshop has been open for nearly a month, and we're thrilled to see the mods our players have created and uploaded.Without further ado, here’s a quick introducti…
- Patch - 2026.9.9 - 9 September 2026
* Fixed an issue where tournament deck restrictions were not carried over between stages. * Now, after a card is added to the deck, the entire deck will be shuffled. * Mod loading logic updated: The contents of PlayerSelect.yaml will now be correctly overridden, one player at a time, rather than overwriting the entire mode's selection at once. This means that player selection options provided by the game itself and by different mods can now exist together as long as they use different IDs).
- Week 58: Bug Fix & Progress Report - 5 September 2026
Update InfoFixed an issue where the AI could not select its Inscribe option, causing it unable to perform any actions (including ending its turn) after Inscribing.Changes for Modders: For the first parameter of effect ModFlag_Game, SetFlag_Game, ModFlag_Master, and SetFlag_Master, InfoReplace processing has been added before the effect is executed, enabling syntax such as 【SetFlag_Game TMP_FLAG_$1 1】. Please note that this change is a temporary fix; a detailed explanation of how to write card effects will be provided within the modding manual when I have the time to complete it.If you can run the game, please ignore this. We have removed non-English characters from the Steam game installation path. If you are unable to launch the game, you may try back up your local mods (Steam Workshop mods are not affected), uninstall the game (Note: Local mods will most likely be uninstalled as well!…

- Week 56: Text Revisions and Our Current Status - 24 August 2026
This week's update includes revisions to the Japanese text and some updates on our current status.Update InfoBased on the revision suggestions and text provided by our community member Night from Discord, we've made extensive revisions to the game's Japanese text to better align with the linguistic habits of Japanese players.We'd also like to thank the community members who have provided invaluable assistance with localization so far: Welp, RoamerB, and IDBT, as well as all players who have shared feedback and suggestions about the game.Our Current StatusAs a small team, we are just a team of two indie developers.Last week, one of us was hospitalized for surgery due to health reasons. The surgery was successful, but he still need two weeks to recover, and our development progress will likely be affected.We hope you can give us a little more time. Thank you.
- Week 55: Steam Workshop Support - 15 August 2026
Although it hasn't been long since our last announcement, it has indeed been a while since I've written anything like this.Looking back at the update frequency over the past few weeks, I'm actually a bit surprised myself. I've been busy working on updates across the board, and it's only now that I’ve found the time to write something beyond the usual updates.Anyway, let's take a look at what's included in this update first, and then I'll talk about other things.Update InfoWe've launched the Steam Workshop and added features for players to use and upload mods with it. For specific instructions on how to upload, please refer to the documentation in the Mod folder (A Guide to Mods of Touhou Rinrinki.pdf).By subscribing to mods uploaded by other players, you can experience brand-new content designed by the community (it's already available!); you can also share your own mods more easily by…

Players can use it to create, share and install mods without modifying the game’s origin files, which means ensuring the mods won’t be overwritten by future updates.In fact, one of our test players has already created over a dozen of custom cards and added them into the game!We couldn’t include a detailed explanation of the mod framework in this announcement (it would be tooo long!). Please open the mod folder through the game and read the documentation there.As the mod framework itself is still under development and due to time constraints, we have…
