Hello everyone, I am E17bits, the producer of Touhou Witch's Night Market. After three and a half months of development, this game is finally meeting everyone! With feelings that are hard to put into words, I have finally reached the moment to write this article. Along the way, this game has gone through many experiences, and I would like to take this opportunity to briefly share the story of its development with you.
In August 2025, our other game, Overheat, ran into very serious development difficulties. We encountered many major design problems that caused the game to be constantly revised without ever meeting our expectations.
Ultimately, we made a bold decision: to create a lighter game and take this opportunity to re-examine Overheat. After a rapid design phase, the project Touhou Witch's Night Market officially began on August 14, and then followed three and a half months of intense work.
At first, the development of this game went very smoothly. We completed 80% of the game in the first month; however, we still faced design and art issues... To solve these problems, we spent all the remaining time continuously optimizing every part of the game. During this period, we practically worked overtime every day until after eleven o’clock.
Originally, this game was scheduled to release on November 25, but due to various reasons, the release date was eventually changed to December 3. Nevertheless, we completed all the planned development work. Despite some lingering regrets, we are very confident in our work. I can proudly say that after six years of game development, I finally created a game that I am truly satisfied with and passionate about.
The story of Touhou Witch's Night Market doesn’t end here. We have already planned some updates and will share them with everyone in the near future. We also hope that our supporters will find joy in this game!
