really, if we can get whatever titles we wish, i think the whole industry will be alot more different than what it is right now
but things dont work that way in reality. we have approached many companies (we cant really disclose the names) but most showed no interest. realistically, we can only obtain titles from companies that we are currently working with.
hope that answers your question
Could you list which companies these are? That way we could see what games we’re most interested in. Also, how should we go about making the suggestions? Smoke signals, carrier pigeon, message in a bottle, etc?
Lamuness said that he isn’t allowed to disclose the names of the companies they have approached.
However, you can safely assume that they only tried the big and renowned b-gaming companies, because the small ones wouldn’t even have the resources to make an english localization feasible.
I think keller was asking if Peach Princess could say what companies they do have working relationships with. Or is this information also top-secret?

if that's the case, isn't it obvious? crowd and will

Err, if I may ask, what's Thunder Claps? O_o. I know about M.E.M, but the other one..? Anyway, as far as dark games go, it's pretty unlikely that we'll see many of them from Peach Princess, unfortunately [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/frown.gif[/img].
Thank you Dark, I was indeed asking which companies Peach Princess has a working relationship with. Lamuness, I ask because there may be companies that you have newer relationships with in which you haven’t translated one of their games yet. Now I can look at what games are potentialy available to see which ones I would like to see translated. Is there a preferred way to make these sugestions to Peach Princess? Also, are bribes accepted/encouraged? What might turn your head Lamuness?

*defensive mode* Well, not completely... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]
But seriously, are all of Peach Princess's games to date from either Crowd or Will? If so, I really hadn't noticed. I never paid atttention to the Japanese end of the equation until recently.
ya, all the games we have released are either by crowd or will, and to this date it’s still only those 2.
if there are any other titles by crowd and will that you want to see translated, you can surely post it here and i will forward them to the appropiate staff. there’s no 100% guarantee, but at least it’s more probable than suggesting a game by a company we had never worked with.
what might turn our heads? a drastically increase in sales (possibly on par with japanese sales) of our games (not gc’s :P)will give companies some encouragement if we start to make cold calls.

Hobibox included?

i dont think they would ever come back, honestly…
So, just to hijack this thread (heh heh heh ) speaking of hobibox, any news on Sakigake?
I can already tell Lamuness’s reaction →
Ok, I’ll go back to pining away for LMM. PP LMM, that is.
this was answered by peter recently in another thread; go look for it
Well, the latest word I found about it (searched for “sakigake”) was from 6/23. I was hoping for another update. Ahhh it’s not important, chomping at the bit for (PP) LMM.
Actually, given the new developments regarding v-mate and the (albeit delayed) availability of a patch, I may get GC LMM as well, albeit later.
The last update is here:

Ah, okay. I totally missed that little morsel of info. Thanx Benoit.
What about the companies you can get to through crowd and will such as (the late) sweet basil? Knowing which of those we can look at will also help.
A couple months ago Lamuness started a survey called Future games? You might want to review that lengthy discussion to see what suggestions have already been made.
