Team Shanghai Alice (Drillimation)

Team Shanghai Alice (上海アリス幻樂団) is a one-man game development branch at Drillimation Studios that specializes in danmaku shooters by ZUN.

Before its independence, ZUN was creating the first five Touhou games using the Driller Engine 1000 board with the help of the now-defunct Amusement Software, under the name ZUN Soft. After he finished the Driller Engine 1000 era and his involvement with the Seihou Project trilogy by what is now known as Shunsatsu sare do?, he branched apart from Amusement Software when it went defunct and continued to develop games for the Touhou Project under the name of "Team Shanghai Alice", starting with Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Every game TSA has developed from its creation has been a shoot 'em up of some kind, and currently it seems only to specialize in making danmaku shooting games. The only time it ever developed any other game type was when it collaborated with the main studio, Drillimation Studios, which resulted in five projectile-based fighting games which eventually became Killer Minecraft.
