Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say charlie kirk died from a grand piano falling on his head and his mouth turned into piano keys and then a flower pot fell on his dick and it honked like a bike horn. don’t say stuff like that

If you haven't yet played the Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 English patch, consider starting your playthrough on August 1st. I recommend playing an in-game day every day so your playthrough syncs up with the real calendar. You won't regret it. Link to the patch here: www.patreon.com/posts/boku-n...

So cool to see Fantasy Maiden Wars getting a Steam release in English. I wrote about the first entry a long time back and it’s a wonderful love letter to both the Touhou and Super Robot Wars series with a lot more challenge than the modern SRW games jrpgjunkie.com/fantasy-maid...

A very special project I've been excited about just went up on the Steam store!
Fantasy Maiden Wars—a turn-based strategy game that acts as a retelling of the early Windows Touhou games with some creative liberties and reordering.
