I am sad to announce that we’ve given up on this title. It was a nice concept, but the lack of support we got from the company that has the rights to it – they don’t seem to want to release it – coupled with some compatibility problems have caused us to kill this product. Very sorry to all who have waited patiently. On the other hand, much better games are coming your way 
If PP can release another title sometime this year, I think your customers would appreciate it very much.
Bummer…of all the b-games poised for translation, this was probably the one I was looking forward to the most.

Make that a non X-change title.

Close. It's "unconscious." [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
Such a shame… it looked nice, too. -_-
Hopefully, you guys have some more quality titles that you’ll put out instead… ::hopehopehope::

Would you care to elucidate this for us?
Is Doushin ~ Same Hearts one of these games?
Is it okay if I cry and scream loudly in Dolby Surround ® now?
Sigh I guess it was too good to be true. I’ll be expecting those “much better games” to live up to the hopes you’re creating by using such words…
That’s too bad. I was hoping it would evenutally get released. Now what is the better games you have
I was looking forward to this one too, since it seemed to offer a different flavor of gameplay as opposed to the usual point-and-click games.
That’s really too bad. I was looking forward to this game as well.
Wonder what these “much better games” are?

I’m very sad to hear about this product being cancelled. I can understand that Peach Princess has to sometimes make this sort of decision. GSS looked to be quite different from most English B-games, and therefore had the potential of being uniquely interesting.
Let’s hope for better cooperation and support for Peach Princess in the future.
Moment of silence
What a low down dirty shame. I was so much looking forward to another genre-bender like Brave Soul, the standard ADV fare can get so tedious and repetitive sometimes.
RIP Sakigake, we’ll miss you.
Any word about other games previously announced and/or discussed on the bbs? Slave Bazaar, Doushin-Synchronous Hearts, any others I’m forgetting?
I knew this was coming, and I’m angry that it was not announced sooner! We anticipated a title that had been decided “dead” for a long time!

Oh the pain of the overzealous when their zeal is ripped out of their chests and roasted like a putrid bag of flesh

To tell the truth, I'm very disappointed by this announcement, but not particularly surprised. It sounded like an iffy thing as soon as I learned of it. That's why I didn't pre-order, though I was certainly going to get it as soon as it came out.
okay i am going to elaborate on this issue coz it’s more or less a post mortum (sp?) thing and i was supposedly be responsible for this title after LMM.
when i got my hands on the game we ran into quite a few issues.
- lack of a compiler for the codes. that means anybody can screw with the text/codes with a text editor
- pics are still censored
- lots of system-related stuff are still in japanese (like the menu bar) and system-related text that appears on the screen (the save/load screen displays gibberish), and we have no idea how to access them to alter them
- lots of battle commands and mission conditions are in bitmap graphics files and they are in japanese. we are not told or given which files correspond to what and we have no idea how to re-encrypt them.
i have told peter all of these issues and i told him that there is no way we can release the game as it is, and i bugged him many times to harrass digital monkey (the developer), and i told him that if they dont respond to us it will be a rather smarter decision if we have this project canned. he emailed them several times and we do not get any responses, and we can’t just sit there and wait…
we decided to can this title at around xmas time but we are all busy with getting lmm out at that time so we kinda left till now to announce it.
actually, benoit, i thought i told you this awhile ago on IRC so you shouldnt be the one complaining.
but fear not, hopefully we will have games out that are WAY better than this title, just like peter said.

First Mr. Payne (well he's always saying that [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]), and now Lamuness? He of tight lips? You do realize that you're making quite a claim, right? I was really looking forward to Sakigake as the next Brave Soul. I have high expectations indeed if you say you have better games in store. Time will tell, I guess. In Peach Princess's case, make that a lot of time. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img] [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh well. But Mr. Payne, by better games, you do mean games like Vagrants? M No Violet(okay that’s not a game I’d think a lot of people like but the gameplay is good)? Or how about Izumo? Those are all very popular games with very good animation.
you’ll see…
ADD:
personally, after going through the first battle in sakigake, i wasnt not too impressed with the battle system to say the least…
and if peapri starts working with studio ego i think i will consider quitting my job here…
