Is it doujinsoft? Or dojinsoft? Which one is the correct term?
doujin=どうじん=同人 while dojin=どじん
It was written in the article that doujinsoft means fangame. That is wrong because there are several original doujin games that are original, such as the games from the Touhou series. I would call doujin soft indie games, including fangames. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.2.53.63 ( talk) 11:07, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
I recommend that Dojin game be merged into Dojin soft. The latter term has been around longer and already has a category Category:Dojin soft. Granted, "Dojin game" is probably more familiar (and less confusing) to English speakers than "soft(ware)", but that's my two cents on the issue.-- Mitsukai 16:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Honestly, I'd say the whole thing should be merged with and redirect to Indie game, maybe into an "Indie culture in Japan" section. 38.125.36.194 ( talk) 21:29, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
I have read this article many a time, and the section mentioning the rivaling of commercial software sounds biased. Am I just crazy, or what? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.204.83.132 ( talk) 03:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
"ABA-Games" (Kenta Cho) and "Shanghai Alice" (Zun) are one-man groups as well. -Nicky Dee —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.187.216.145 ( talk) 12:05, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I always though it a bit strange that in English the term has just stayed as dōjin soft rather than dōjin software. Any thoughts on it (besides the obvious "because that's how it is in Japanese"?) Might be worth including in the article. 私の旅 ( talk) 13:02, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
So far I found no doujin soft for mobile platforms such as Android. No doujin soft for mobile platforms? Why? Do doujins—their creator—have relatively low budget?滅 Muhammadrizkya滅 20:58, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Doujinshi which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 10:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
This article is suffering from a major problem namely that it claims that Doujin Soft and Doujin Games are the same thing. This is wrong.
Doujin Soft refers to all types of hobbyist-made software, not just doujin video games. This includes things that are not games, such as tools for development or things like shaders. It is NOT used to refer to doujin analog games, which are also doujin games. It is also sometimes used to refer to digital resources like music or graphics for use in games or videos.
Doujin Game refers to all types of hobbyist-made games, not just video games. There is a huge market for analog games (board games, card games, pen and paper RPGs). Obviously, this term does not apply to forms of software that are not games.
While the vast majority of doujin soft is doujin video games, two terms are not interchangeable. It seems that they were previously two separate articles but then misguidedly merged. 2404:2D00:5000:701:FCA2:DD7:6AAA:86AE ( talk) 20:17, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
