How did he do it? I'm genuinely impressed of one man making a game all by himself in the early 00s, there was no YouTube around, no universal game engine or stack for programming questions

The answer, as always, is autism.
He reminds me of my friends to a scary degree, he's also a math major and s universal genius.
hundreds of game devs got their start making games on old computers without help, he's not special
Example being Ultima, if I recall correctly.
shmups are babby tier easy to make
besides, it's easy if you plagiarize just about everything

ZUNbros...?
Eirinbros...?
No shit, that's why google play store is full of these Shit Em Ups. They all play the fricking same.
basically no competition

Who then made touhou with Mami (babylonian) Luna (moon x saturn in touhou 2) and others?

Gow does he do it indeed.

Pretty sure he started in the 90's. Also, it took him years to get recognition. It wasn't like he made one game instantly became famous.
That's true but I honestly wonder how much of that was down to PC market/adoption rates in Japan vs his ability to make vidya. There was 4 year gap between EoSD and his 5th game no one remembers by name. One released in 98' and latter in 02', PC-98 vs windows 95
If this was in US I'd say case closed but I honestly don't know, 98 was a Japanese platform that had sizable adoption. I genuinely haven't seen as high numbers before for any country before looking at Japan and 98 sales
The PC98 games were made as part of his club in college, IIRC, the gap between PC98 and Windows is him setting out on his own.
How did you find about that? Through japanese sources?
I mean the circle name is shown in the idents for the PC98 games, it's fairly well-known I thought. EoSD is the first one to not have it, I'm pretty sure.
Damn you're right! I only saw ZUN soft on the wiki and assumed it was just a placeholder before he came up with Shanghai alice. I mean isn't it though? Uni circle is listed as a publisher but I guess they could provide technical assistance or even cover art
Which way is it?
I mean he made the games on his own as part of the circle (as far as is clear), presumably all the members did their own things and just hung out together to discuss what they were doing or whatever.
I'm not that familiar with the circle concept anon, I mean I have the general gist of it but I thought they just released singular products that everyone worked on
The circle in this case is specifically the semi-casual club he was part of at university, rather than a doujin circle, although since they put out doujinsoft at doujin events it functionally was both I suppose. Pretty sure it seemed like everyone kind of just did their own thing but possibly compared notes if there was any social aspect to the group, there really isn't much information to go on.

Thanks! Of course it's impossible for us to verify but could it have been a way to pool resources towards renting spots at comiket? Transportation, rent etc etc
ZUN is basically the Eastern equivalent of Jeff Vogel.
What about his college games from the mid to late 90s in the PC98? And let's not forget about Seihou either.

>Math major
Math majors typically abandon math before they finish their doctorate or go insane. The only ones with doctorates that maintained their sanity stepped away for the rest of their 20s and came back to finish it around 30. Something about the coursework drives young men mad.

He believed in Meira balls
