ok i will spill the beans but not all of it, and i will appreciate it if you do not bug and email peapri about this issue yet and keep it on this bbs.
yes, we are talking with a new company in japan last xmas and this company is not related to will or crowd at all (so it’s not any of the sister companies). we are getting very close to an agreement which is why i am not saying firm at this moment.
as for which company, i cannot say at this time. but personally i think this company has a better profile than the companies we have worked with, and i am sure some of you guys will jump with joy when you hear which company it is (when we announce it officially).
but anyhow, that’s all i can say at the moment, so for the meantime be patient coz much better games may be coming your way, to paraphrase what is being said in the sakigake thread.
