This is why it helps to have some description in text for these kinds of posts. If it's just a video link and nothing else, there's no content in the post that you can search, and if the video goes down you would not be able to identify what it was about.

Remember 17.5, that official Touhou platformer?

Well, it's supposedly releasing by the end of the month.

Why don't you eat me?

I am perfectly tasty...

I'm guessing it will take a while to make an English patch for Gouyoku Ibun since it's on a new engine so that will give you time to make peace with the world.

Though, by all accounts it's less a platformer and more a single player version of the fighting games, with some platforming elements during the fights.

Obviously not. Like his art or not, this looks nothing at all like it.

The Tasofro games don't have ZUNart, though who does the art varies from game to game. This particular game's art is done by one Tokiame, a long-time contributor to the supplemental print works. Though I must say for ZUN's part, he has gotten quite good recently. Just look at Sanae in the newest game:

OH no no no, i'm not saying he's bad at all. i'm not sure if the game genres being more pixel-based than hand-drawn based would vibe with his "high resolution" style, but i really do want to see him tackle a non-shmup game's variety of poses... which may be why he doesn't do them lol

I mean, I wasn't trying to be alarmist. I just shared the Sonic Adventure Central tweets because I remember seeing them at the time and I think they sum up the situation with Omens decently well.

With that said, Nintendo (not The Pokemon Company, Nintendo) does tend to only go after fangames that either are monetized, seem particularly damaging to their brands/profits, or are remakes of flagship games or related to projects they're currently working on. They do maintain an official statement of no tolerance as a deterrent, but tend to look the other way as long as they don't consider a fan game a particularly egregious violation and aren't forced to acknowledge it because of borderline-mainstream coverage.

From what I've seen, Sega takes the same general approach but is more lenient overall for that last category and actively encourages non-commercial fan projects. I don't think it's particularly unreasonable for fans to be worried about pushing their luck and jeopardizing that goodwill given that, in the worst case scenarios,
These companies are brutal about protecting their IP. The reason you never hear about it? All settlements come with an NDA that makes it so no one can write or talk about it.

Free does not mean not infringing. Not charging for your game is not a loophole to not getting sued. Under statutory damages, each infringing asset is potentially $150,000 in damages. Don't get sued into oblivion for your free fan or "parody" game.

Fair use and Parody are not rights, they are defenses. Nothing is either until a judge says it is, which will cost about $75,000-$150,000 on average through a small/mid size law firm.
Realistically, with Katie Chrzanowski's response and Nintendo's tendency to start with Cease and Desists rather than go directly to court, I don't think anyone's lives have been ruined for making a Nintendo or Sonic fangame -- in fact, I vaguely recall reading somewhere that one of the AM2R devs got a level design job at Moon Studios (the Ori devs) from their work on reimagining SR388! And at this point I'm not sure whether Sonic Omens is even still in development considering the last update on their gamejolt page was May 14th, so whether or not it posed a substantial risk to the Sonic fangame scene in the first place, it shouldn't be a problem for at least the near future.

More than that, though, I just think it's not worth engaging with a project like Omens on a matter of principle, no matter how ambitious it might be. Like, ultimately it's raocow's decision which games he plays, but the Omens devs knowingly and repeatedly try to monetize their project against the terms of the IP owner and general etiquette/consensus of the scene, which is, at the very least, a jerk move. Why reward that behavior with an LP when he could be giving that attention and energy to devs that have the owner's/original creators' go-ahead?

For example, one of the literal hundreds of Touhou fangames on Steam.

Image

On that note, when was the last Touhou fangame LP? Has there been one since New Super Marisa Land over a year ago?
