While it's certainly possible that we may produce more copies of Beggar Prince in the future, at this time we are focused on getting our other games into the hands of customers. The best way to stay informed about Beggar Prince is to join the Beggar Prince mailing list, through which you will be notified directly if and when we decide to make more copies of the game. Thanks for your interest.

thanks for the reply

Hey, Brandon.

When I interviewed you for GamesTribune, you told me it wasn't cost-effective to feature more languages in your games, and that you couldn't be sure a translation would be as perfect as it should if you don't speak that language, etc... So why is Nightmare Busters including an english/french manual?

Besides, when Shui Hu Feng Yun Zhuan was discussed about in this forum, it was made clear that SFT discarded the possibility of producing it because of the rom being already dumped and all that (which I understand). But not only Nightmare Busters has been floating around in both rom and repro form for years, but it's also a much better known game (most MD/gen gamers don't even know about SHFYZ). Does Nightmare Busters open the door for more games that aren't necessarily obscure or don't require lots of translation work?



(Sorry for my english)

1). In the interview, I was referring to RPG scripts, not platform game instruction manuals.
2). To be clear, it hasn't yet been decided for certain whether or not Nightmare Busters will come with a dual-language instruction manual.

Perhaps. Only time will tell for sure...

Your English is fine.

Oh, ok. I was actually asking about any kind of games you'd produce in the future (not only RPGs )

I just read something about NB being french-developed. If that's the case, then I guess it makes sense

Perhaps. Only time will tell for sure...

Well that would be nice, IMO :P



Thanks for the fast answers!

I just want to have a budget for the next game. To get paid, I work my day job.

It's really none of my business, but I'm curious so I'll ask. What is your day job?

[CMA Death Adder]

Ah. Well then -

We have recently completed work on our new, updated version of Sango Fighter, which aside from being improved and bug fixed, also sports the choice of three languages: English, Chinese and Japanese. It will be released soon.

We are currently working on our new, updated version of Sango Fighter 2, which, when completed, will offer all content in English, Chinese and Korean.

To stay informed about these games and their eventual release, you're welcome to join our Sango Fighter mailing list.

Indeed.

It's really none of my business, but I'm curious so I'll ask. What is your day job?

While I am happy to answer the majority of questions posed about our company and its games, I prefer to keep my personal life private. Thanks.

I don't mean to shit on your parade, but this game looks like crap. Do you know something we don't know? I mean, from the looks of it...why bother with this apparent steamer?

[enix2093]

BTW, I heard about Nightmare Busters long ago from Tomy at Tototek Glad to hear it was real.

I know several things...

1). Graphics aren't everything.
2). I am quite fond of the graphics.
3). The game doesn't play, sound or entertain like "crap."

I'm fairly certain that if you gave the game a try you may find it to be a quite enjoyable experience. Or, perhaps just wait for professional reviews of the game to start being published, and use them to help gauge your final opinion.

Thanks. We're quite excited about Nightmare Busters, and I'm glad you are, too.

I'm not excited for Nightmare Busters because the ONLY thing I know about it is that it has two ugly trolls holding playing cards (shown by following your link). The artwork doesn't exactly scream "Play me. Play me NOW!!!"

Completing the Nightmare Busters website will take time, which at the moment I am devoting to other work for the company. You're welcome to join the Nightmare Busters mailing list in the mean time, however.

What makes you choose what games to translate? I'm curious about that!

[CMA Death Adder]

Instinct.

Awesome

It's only #3 I was referring to. The graphics for the game are great for Genesis...but the gameplay looks like pure ass.
