When Manifesto Games was just getting started, I suggested to its owner, Greg Costikyan, that he should try to tap into the vast doujin games market, and localize doujin games like Hitogata Happa and Akatsuki BK and the Toho games. Unfortunately, Manifesto Games’ Japanese representative was unwilling to brave Comiket or something and simply told them “it can’t be done”.

Fortunately for all good westerners, a company that is willing to brave Comiket to talk to reclusive doujin game developers and localize their wonderful games has arrived, and sure enough one of their first two projects is Gundemonium Collection, which includes Gundemonium, Gundeadligne, and Hitogata Happa!! The collection will be released as a download in August, for only $20.

Hooray!

Thanks to StriderHLC for the news!
