See title and description. I guess this is both a 'where'd everybody shove off to' question since I know at least some of us lurk on different game groups now, and a 'where would we even go if we left' kind of thing. What games do you know of that still have a thriving fandom that interacts within relatively coherent confines like an active Discord or a forum or whatever? Something in the size and closeness range that can really be called a 'community' while still being alive enough to keep the title. Any ones to list? I know Replay Value AU has two separate nodes that don't interact much still going and Golden Sun has a few communities that are banded together into a sorta United Nations thing. |

I've been a part of the western Touhou community for over 10 years now, so it's not like I went anywhere different. I suppose you could break the western fanbase into smaller groups since there's some divides due to disagreements (or even outright hostility in some cases), but I have no trouble with any of the other groups, so I class myself as simply a part of the community as a whole. |

I’ve been slowly teaching myself some coding skills. I can read most lines pretty easily now, but I’m having trouble translating between different programs. As soon as I can accurately recreate 10 different mini flash games using both swift for mobile and construct 3 for PC, I plan on trying to change a line of code for each game to see if it still works. If I successfully get that far, I want to try and swap several image assets, basically, replace all instances of player with tree and all instances of tree with player for a pretty funny cosmetic effect. The end goal is to be able to recreate Shellcore using a different program and port it to mobile, this way, I’m not creating something new, I’m just translating it into another language. But I’m still having a hard time translating from PC to mobile. Some of the concepts and logic either don’t exist or are displayed differently, so it’s really slowing me down. |

@Gemeral That's a bit off-topic of a response. Was I unclear in writing this topic? It's an alarming blindness from new visitors in general. @Spar Good to know you're in the Touhou somewhere, but I have like, three or four Discords with any activity in that department and I only pay attention to about two of them. >_<' I'm not actually sure what the current of the fandom as a whole anymore, I barely interact with it outside YouTube uploads and said slow or side-topic discords. Surprisingly NationStates is a thing albeit usually rather cancerous (I mean that rather directly in terms of rapid production of generic cells that absorb interest and hurt the overall body) or insular to protect itself from the cancerous bits. I'm not really playing much, but I'm in an active discord or two about that site's FT roleplay community with a sense of writing skill if not necessarily classiness. Sadly the genre hegemony is a bit worse... |

I still don't really use Discord. I keep in touch with the community via old school forums. As for the current state of affairs in the Touhou community, not much has changed in the last few years (apart from more games). The last major changes have been the Canadians telling the Americans that they are no longer invited to any events (the person "in charge" of the Canadian Touhou community is... unpleasant to deal with and I'm not even on bad terms) and the east coast divide after the ZUN debacle (where the northerners had to try and salvage the situation at the last second after the southerners dropped the ball). |

Sorry for going off on a tangent like that, but I wasn’t entirely off topic. I’ve joined several coding communities so I could learn as much as possible and get help from other people. |

I found that the mobile game War Dragons has a pretty active game & forum community. But it looks like the game is about to implode, so I don’t think I’ll be joining anytime soon. Besides, I hear you have to wait weeks to do anything after the first 100 or so levels. Does anyone know of another frankenstein mobile game? |

I only play one mobile game, but I'm not particularly fluent in the language that the game is in (my Japanese is better than like 90% of the US population, but I can barely follow spoken dialogue and have an incredibly hard time with kanji), so I haven't even looked into the community. |

I've been pretty occupied with college, I started it maybe a year after the forum died off. I'm about to graduate now. |
