東方輝針城 ～ Double Dealing Character - Stage 2 Background in 4K 16:9

Never really paid that much attention to this specific background before it reappeared in Unfinished Dream, it's really pretty. I actually just realized this background uses the same road and stone textures as Ten Desires' stage 2. I find the background work in Touhou Project very charming, though I only started really appreciating them after seeing the ones from Unconnected Marketeers (that game's stage 2 was an eye-opener). The low-res realistic textures used in such a simplistic way makes for a very interesting aesthetic, but I guess the same could be said for doujin games in general. Very nice render, the trees by the side are a cool extra touch, too!

Big agree! DDC stage 2 has one of my favorite backgrounds in the series, and UM overall has some very pretty background work as well apart from stage 3. Personally for me, when it comes to making games and scripts in Danmakufu, creating the backgrounds is almost more fun for me than designing the patterns as well. You're right about the simplistic beauty of ZUN's scene work as well, and it's something I strive to emulate, and perhaps go beyond just a little.
