Hey, since Team Fortress 2 just went free, and I know there's at least some forum members who also enjoy Touhou, I figured I'd show everyone this:
http://touhoufortress2.web.fc2.com/main.html Old website. {Disowned by current project group}
http://touhoufortress2.wordpress.com/ Current website {But still incomplete}
It's a project, still being worked on, that aims to add Touhou to TF2.
Right now, there's a completed model for each class, all the ones you see up there plus a few alternates {Like Utsuho for Solider, or Chou Marisa as Heavy, or Satori as Spy}. They've also planned voice packs, but due to one very jerkish asshole, that got pretty side-tracked, but the project has been revived with some new members on the project team. They're looking for new modelers since the old one sorta didn't listen {The characters are suppose to look much more like their TF2 counterparts} and ragequit, leaving them no source code, so the models might break any update and they won't be able to fix it; not to mention the models aren't the best and are really fat now {Demoman currently uses 4000 polygons, Suika uses 14000}, so if you experience crashes a lot, try turning on High quality for the models, that was a problem for me. They've also restarted the voice auditions, mostly only looking for volunteers for the main models. There's currently a voicepack for Utsuho, one really hard to find one for Suika {But rather on the squeaky side, she got so attacked for it she's left the 'net; I personally prefer anything over a black one-eyed cyclops talking through the drunken Oni} and one in the works for Mokou {Even talked with the voice actress}, but they're still looking for volunteers, for modeling also; if anyone is interested or knows anyone who would be, they'd be more than happy for any sort of volunteers. The concept art and voice scripts have been completed for some time, they just need more modelers and voicers who can actually provide. {English speakers only, of course}
Anyways, I found this pretty awesome, there's even a Steam Group you can join that has it's own server. There are some other modifications you can find as well besides this project for Touhou. I've got one that plays the vocal version of Nitori's theme on any built dispenser {You get more than you paid for with Nitori}, for example, and a nice reminder to "Take it easy!" whenever I get the freeze cam for dying. There's also some pretty damn awesome Touhou maps by Deity Link, my favorite would have to be the final version of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. {Even though the underground area scares the hell out of me} Also not directly apart of the Touhou Fortress 2 project, but they're all pretty awesome and made for each other. {SDM even uses the Sakuya model}
I could say more, but all you really need to do is click the image.
I can add anything someone's having trouble with/can't find out about, though.
Also, NOTE:
The website touhoufortress2.web.fc2.com may be the easiest to get the models from/info, but it's also been disowned by the current group. That's the original modeler's website, and while he's keeping it up, he's something of an arsehole, they've pretty much all moved to the forums here. {You must become a member to view it}
Don't use the email on the first website, try the forums if you need something from them.
Steam Group is also really active, their group chat contains most of what's going on with the project at anytime.
Another EDIT:
Gosh I'm slow, added the current official website now, the one used by the current group and not the old modeler.
It's very incomplete, however, so you'll still have to download the models from the old site.
Also, for anyone interested, they just posted a brief 'History lesson', a quick sum up of some of the more important update notices from the group. It basically explains what's going on with the project right now, and what happened to the old one.
