Len'en Wiki:Interview with JynX (2015)/Archive

From Len'en Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is an archive on what questions were asked and the rules that needed to be followed on the page "Len'en Wiki:Interview with JynX (2015)". People could've also asked questions on this journal in the Len'en Project deviantArt group.

Rules and Guidelines

  1. Consider basic etiquette. Any questions that are NSFW, offensive or otherwise objectionable will not be forwarded.
  2. No "what do you think of this video/drawing/whatever" questions. JynX's opinions tend to be expressed in a very bare-bones way, usually not more than "Wow, that's really cute" or similar. While fanart surely is appreciated, being smothering with it or other things just isn't the way to go.
  3. No joke/troll questions. That includes, but is not limited to, questions such as "What is the meaning of life" or "What would you do for a Klondike bar". Those just aren't beneficial to anyone at all.
  4. No "Will x appear in y?" questions. Seriously, just wait until the full version comes out. You can wait until October/November.

Aside from that, I may have forgotten about a few pointers, but most stuff should be common sense. If your question(s) is/have not been answered, then by all means, contact me so I can explain why. --Popfan (talk)

If Tsubakura didn't have the eye symbol on hir hat before coming to Mugenri, why didn't any other character in Evanescent Existance notice or comment on it?

  • Hi Jynx! In Touhou, we all know that because of the spellcard rules actual life-threats are kept to a minimum, and it's very hard to hear of people in the Touhou canon dying. How is the violence in Mugenri?

  • Len'en games tend to get reputation of being quite challenging. How do you feel about difficulty of your own games? Can you clear Absurdly Extra Mode? Necrotek (talk) 04:40, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Will BPoHC get a 'legacy mode' that plays like the previous len'en games? Nothing against the current format though! I just miss memorizable stages and differently colored bullets lol -03:41, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Souko Shirami mentions they are connected to a god. What kind of god exactly? Rando (talk) 20:16, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Not exactly a question but could you share demo versions of first two games again? I recall them being more difficult than full versions so I'd like to try them once more. Necrotek (talk) 15:07, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
