Do you really want two goons making Fortune Summoners 2?

Think about that for a moment.

Think about it.

Imagine four(tune summoners) balls on the edge of a cliff. Time works the same way.

Definitely leaning towards Nippon Ichi of the companies listed; most of the rest are localization houses themselves. Which I guess doesn't preclude bringing in contractors.

Honestly I don't see this as CF's type of project - it's not a dialogue-heavy game and it looks like they are already going to release it on PC in the west. It is only the Wii version that is in peril at this point.

Carpe Fulgur hasn't leaned towards SHMUPs for a pretty good reason: there's not often a lot of reason to translate, on average they're not heavy on story and dialogue which NEED the CF treatment .

This thread is old and all but I gotta say: You must find a way to reference this post in the future. Some inane item shop thing called the KATANA SWORD SNIPER or something. It must be done.

Left here for you to check out. A list of 7 'best' indie RPGs for people to play, and Recettear made the cut! From that list I've only really not tried Exit Fate so I'm grabbing that now, but worth a read for everyone else

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale / Re: Any chance of selling via GamersGate?

« on: August 23, 2010, 06:14:56 PM »

I found GamersGate quality of service far more dreadful in my experience (which is limited to the one game, since I refuse to do business with a company that couldn't provide me a download faster than 30 kbps on something I paid for)

I don't know when you last did business with them, but they have improved their download speeds significantly. They used to only have servers in Europe, but now provide servers in the US too. I generally get speeds that max out my net connection when connecting to their US based servers these days.

For the record, the worst download speeds I ever got were from Steam a couple of years ago. When on average I would get speeds of 8 kb/s with a maximum of 50 kb/s. Nowadays my download speed on Steam is just a little slower than that of GamersGate.

This was within the last year, and they claimed to already have US servers at the time. Steam in comparison tends to max at 2mbps

I'm a JRPG fan and even own a PSP but I have 0 interest in this KH spinoff. I'll be buying Recettear day one though.

« on: July 23, 2010, 08:34:39 PM »

They do not know if they will get onto Steam at all (that's kind of up to Valve) but the answer is probably no, simply because they are not changing the game's programming, the studio in Japan that made the game originally has only access to code and that would be too much work for them most likely.

As for length, they said the core storyline game is 15-20 hours, but also has other modes (new game+, survival, etc)

« on: July 23, 2010, 08:29:00 PM »

One of the biggest things about Steam is it's Market Share and word-of-mouth power - I know I'm usually checking at least what new Demos are available, if not the entire Coming Soon list every time I boot it.

Try using WinRAR, perhaps? We attempted to make sure the zip was compatible with as many programs as possible, and I don't think it should have any particular problems.

(Note to self: consider some kind of auto-installer. Hm.)

It's pretty easy to get simple auto-installers made - most programs including WinRar and WinZip both have their own self-extracting zip mode, so that a third party archive program isn't even necessary. There's also stuff like NSIS which make very professional installers pretty easily without complex licenses (being open source is a neat plus too)

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Screenshots As you can see, some fairly high profile software uses NSIS (it was first made by the people who make WinAmp)
