Rock, Paper, Shotgun has positive review of the demo up. It's how I found the game.

And we didn't even think to start this kind of thread ourselves.

Thanks for keeping track of this, guys. We also seem to have a GAF thread, for the record. I actually signed up there an age ago and still don't have approval. They discourage bugging mods about it but I may have to.

From that huge SA thread.

I saw it on Destructoid this morning and hence how I got it!

And now for a little something that... well, isn't "news" coverage I guess, but we found it a bit touching.

"We'll probably mention it on the front page sometime soon, but there's an English version of Recettear coming out.
You can go check the demo out, though it's in English. Might help people who wanna study English?
We're working on this ourselves, too, so I'm hoping lots of people play and enjoy it. I've had experiences like explaining 'Tea Rice' in great depth to someone in America...
It's not much different than the Japanese version; title theme's changed, and that's about it. We didn't add a bunch of stuff like a certain game's International Version. Of course, the menu text and whatnot is all in English.
Distro is still being worked out- though, saying that, we're leaving those discussions to the company who is actually there (which is to say, us).
There won't be a package version, it's solely DL focused - over in America, PC game sales are focused mostly on DL sales, apparently packaged PC games are rare there now...
I hope Steam sells our game..."

We hope so too, Muracha. We'll try not to let you down. :3


Also, bonus POLISH COVERAGE!

Well, we'll take it, at any rate :V

Found Recettear the same way. Really enjoyed the demo and I'll pickup the full game if it's reasonably priced .

Someone at Hardcore Gamer Magazine noticed our sprawling SA thread, and took a little note of us:

http://www.hardcoregamer.com/index.php?option=com_magazine&type=newsblogarticle&id_rubrique=27&id_article=565&alpha=&numpage=0&perpage=10

Might have to hook up with them and see if they want to talk to us at all.

This is where I saw it, then made the GAF thread after I beat the demo. Can't wait for the full game.

Since nobody else has posted it yet, we've featured rather heavily in this week's X Button column over at ANN:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/the-x-button/2010-07-21

Not a "typical" games news outlet, but I'll hardly complain about getting featured on a site that prominent!

Hello, I work for RPGamer.com, and we have written a news article announcing the game which can be seen here: http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q3-2010/072210b.html. We hope to have a preview up for the game in the next day or so if that's all right.

I am very excited to play the final version of this game. The translation work is fabulous.

[Rynetx]

There should be a preview going up of Recettear on www.mygamer.com written by me hopefully early tomorrow. I just emailed it in. I've honestly never played a demo this many times before and I can't wait for the game to come out. I'll definitly be buying it and reviewing it once it's out. Thanks for the game and i hope by supporting you we can see more from your team.

[SpaceDrake]

Thanks for the kind words, Nyxy. You guys can preview away if you want, and Mac got in touch with me too, so we'll see how that all goes. :3

And thanks for that, Rynetx. I hope we can see more from our team, too, partially because it'll help me earn food-money. :x
