On a Serious Post note, I'm hoping it comes out on Steam so I can go on a gifting spree. This game is hard but fun and interesting, and giving the middle finger to Nicalis is always a welcome bonus

I'm shocked it wasn't releasing on Steam.

I would definitely support it there if I could. I can't buy it now but interested in checking it out.

They released it exclusively on a brand new site that nobody knows anything about. I hope they don't blame a lack of sales on us. It's the store. At least it's DRM free.

Since Nihon Falcom has had a -ton- of sales since they started releasing their games on Steam via XSEED, maybe they'll give them a try in the future. I hope.

available games that looks like a decent store

it's a nice selection of quaint indie games

SIDEWAYS SLASH
Apparently Kikiyama put Yume Nikki in there. That's how awesome this store is.

It seems to be a jp/en place that is somewhat more popular in japan. (As there seems to be more stuff in the japanese site)

Still odd they didn't put it on Steam as well. Whatever I guess.


Anyways, I really looked forward to this game. Unfortunately, I'm a penniless deadbeat.

A random person might not, though. I bet many of us are aware of Playizm for one reason or another (mentioned in a gaming site, etc.) but it's not a well known digital distribution site outside of Japan.

I'm not speaking with authority on the subject, but I'm pretty sure that they didn't choose to not release on Steam. It's just one of those things.

From what I understand, the point of Playism is to translate and release Japanese indie games for Western audiences and then turn around and translate Western indie games to Japanese for release there. The translation for La-Mulana was apparently done in-house at Playism and it's quite well done. I'm definitely keeping them in mind for games down the line, especially for more niche titles that might not have steam releases.

I think this game got rejected on Steam for some reason but that it was not permanently unable to show up. I don't remember where i read this, so take it with some salt.

Otherwise, the game is soooo good. I'm literally 99% done with the game minus hell temple; I just need to beat the final boss. I'd been waiting for this release since learning of the wiiware version years ago and I'm so happy to finally be able to play it.

In the interest of science, I have downloaded both the English and the Japanese versions. The Japanese version is basically the same thing as on Kikiyama's website. The English version crashes if you try to save.

Either turn off the User Account Control or Run as Administrator and you won't crash when you save.

Also, this game got a lot easier after I picked up the Holy Grail.

That doesn't work. It crashes because "ƒXƒ|ƒbƒg.xyz" doesn't exist. That file name contains an invalid character, so the installer failed to extract it.

Does your operating system support Japanese filenames? I had this problem with Japanese games back in Windows XP. I don't remember exactly what I did to fix being able to create files with names in Japanese, though.

Everything since Windows XP has supported Japanese file names just fine. The problem here is code pages. I could use AppLocale, but it's buggy and doesn't work properly with a lot of games. I could change the system code page, but that breaks a bunch of other things. I shouldn't have to do either, since the game is supposed to be in English.
