hi,kumiko,I was wondering why you do not have a demo or something for x-change 2 when you have demos for the other games
[This message has been edited by Einhancer (edited 10-29-2001).]
I tried all demos, it is good thing PeaPri offers those so I see what the game is like …
When is this game expected to be released?

And they don't make a page for every game either, it seems...

Kumiko said before that "At earliest, we except this game to be released fall 2002", so we still have to wait for quite some time [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/frown.gif[/img]

It's just not fair.
I can try to make an X-change 2 demo. Maybe on Flash or something like that? =P

Sure, I saw that [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]... But I weren't just talking about Crowd... I've been at the pages of other companies than just Crowd, of course, and it seems to me like noet every company puts up a page for their games... It may, as you sid, be like that because that the games aren't out yet but in some cases it seems like the game's out and yet there's no game page... For example, at Will's page there's no page for Critical Point... Does that mean that the game aren't released in Japan yet???
By the way... correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like an new company (Pulltop) has joined Will...

We need your help with that - we need you to promote our products everywhere and expand the market so we have steady and increasing revenue. Otherwise, none of us will have future titles - we cannot run the business without profit, and a lot of it.
Huh? You mean that when you're done with these four games, you have to take a "pause" for a while!!??

Damn, that sounds bad
I am currently replaying X-change, I will make a review and have it posted on some review sites, anyone interested in a fan page for bishojo games ?

Always interested in a fan page but the problem is having the time for it. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img] I know I've been spending my weekends trying to put together a sorta detailed guide to Snow Drop myself. I may have to take a break though. I keep hearing Shizuka in my dreams...I don't think she likes me writing about her... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/eek.gif[/img]

No, not a pause... and not after we are done with upcoming titles, either. What Kumiko is explaining is that we have to see strong, steady, growing sales for our current products so that we have a stable revenue stream that allows us to stay in business to make future titles and do future projects. That's just business reality. What we see, instead, is that sales drop off - that indicates that the market is not growing, and that we are only selling to the same very small (compared to the total English market) number of people. That will not allow us to remain in business, let alone grow. That is not what we want, or what you want - you (and we) want the mainstream English market to be attracted to these games and for the genre to grow just as anime did. We rely on your efforts to "grow" that market, but if we see drops in sales as we have during the past couple months, we have to do something about it - we cannot exist with no revenue.The market must grow in order for us all to achieve our dreams, whether from our standpoint as a company or from the consumer's standpoint as a fan.

I think publicity in the adult webindustry would be a good idea. Most good adult link sites have sections for online stores or general hentai, spread your links (or links to J-mate or Himeya or JAST USA) around to them and see if you can get anyone interested. Doing the same thing with the anime webcommunity would be advisable, as well. You can get a lot of publicity on the web for no price higher then a few hyperlinks.
You can also send review copies to the game magazines, of which there are three major ones: Computer Gaming World, Computer Games, and PC Gamer (though you might want to try some of the console mags as well, anime-like games are more popular in those circles.) They've all reviewed adult games before, and they cater to the mainstream gaming crowd, not the hentai fans, so a bad review is unlikely to affect you negatively. Some local papers have critics as well, and a few are garnering a bit of respect from the gaming elite.
(If you go this way, BTW, I recommend TCI. It's your best game to date, and the one most likely to get decent marks from the critics.)
Celebrity endorsements are another possibility- well, not "celebrity" in the usual sense, but... well, for example, a lot of webcomics take an anime influence, and quite a few are run by confessed perverts as well.
As for me, I've been posting my reviews almost exclusively to J-mate, but I could spread them around, if you think it will help.

For those of u who does not know any of those webcomics, here are some links:
http://www.megatokyo.com/
http://www.exploitationnow.com/
http://sexylosers.com/
http://strangecandy.keenspace.com/
http://tav.keenspace.com/
http://www.sinfest.net/
http://ghastly.keenspace.com/
http://wendycomic.com/
Not all of them r perverted, some has a nice manga/bishoujo-like storyline.
Megatokyo is for the general readers, so do not bother posting any adult-material over there. However, Piro does promote non-adult bishoujo games in his forum, so feel free to spread the awareness [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Not to mention, Piro loves Air, Toheart and other games that we all like [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]
ExploitationNow is the opposite of MegaTokyo: nude, sensitive matters, foul languages, etc. However, he still have a good storyline. His forum is much more liberal and...less decent ^_^...but it is still well-organized. He is a self-proclaimed philosopher(once) and an even-bigger pervert [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]
Sexylosers is perhaps the most perverted webcomic in the face of the internet. I recommend everyone to accost him for Peapri publicity. Besides, he has some adult banners at his site...I just hope he is kind enough to let Peapri.
I stop here...I am kinda lazy at the moment..Besides, I have to finish my projects...If u want to read more of those webcomics or tell them about Peapri, just go here:
