General News IV: A New Hope?

[swiftnissity]

Mangagamer updated their website:

http://www.mangagamer.com/r18/

They now have a link to Hard Copies and their Affiliate program is up and running.
They also added a link to '3D/Movie'.

Edit:

Details of the program are now out.

Pretty much you signup on the website (button on the top right), after signing up, clicking this button lets u look at your history.
Then looking at each games page, a new URL is listed, if someone buys through that URL you get 10% of the purchase.
At 200 Euro's you can convert that into money, otherwise you can use it to purchase games from MG.

Something happened between MG and Hendane. Hendane doesn't know if/when it will have more hard copies in stock. Its said to be 'Inventory Issues'.

I'd be hesitant to read too much into this. Hendane is still linked prominently on the staff blog. It is the US con season they could have sold out or mangagamer might have other plans for their stock (their European webstore might have first pick over hendane since they didn't sell any games in Europe yet).

I asked Kouryuu about the chances of seeing Higu Kai on the European site, and he suggested only leftover copies would end up there, for the time being. I guess this makes sense, as putting copies at retailers is a much more direct sell than putting them in a warehouse somewhere waiting for the webshop. Apparently right now DC2 is the only game they specifically printed EU copies for.

@ZeroAsakura Given the current rate of progress on SDHQ we're looking at a release in the first or second quarter of 2012 at this point.

@michelous This will be determined by the extras package we can assemble for the LE release, but likely won't exceed $50 USD.

Starless:

@DekaThunder We're in the process of assessing the content in Starless, and if any changes are needed we'll issue a full report pre-release.

14 days until #SDCC. I should start balancing out my eroge budget. Kinda hoped @jastusa would have a presidential release before the con >.>

@jyuichi I hoped we would too, but it doesn't look like it at this point, alas. We'll have an update on the status of President soon.
