It seems that Happinet is now game sales. Brigan Dine Lunasia Senki I heard about the new package version of Mutant His Turtles from the Steam version

In recent years, domestic corporate Happened has been active in games. In May 2022, the Steam version Brian Dine Lunatic Sent was released. He has also worked on many indie games, and has increased its range and momentum, with the establishment of the game label Happened Indie Collection in September 2021.

Speaking of Happened, the strength of the distribution business has a strong presence even in game sales. Where are they driving with both the original title and the indie publisher? At the venue of Bit summit X-Roads held on August 6 and 7, 2022, we have been asking where Happened goes, including the status of the title, so let's deliver the contents.

── First, please introduce yourself.

Maseru Saith: My name is Happiness Katsutoshi Saith. He belongs to the operation and advertising team of the Game Publishing Department, and is basically in charge of publicity of the publishing title.

─。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Maseru Saith: Happened has been in a game public business in the past. Again, the game publishing business was launched, and the title for girls was deployed for Nintendo 3DS, and then started handling games for Nintendo Switch and Steam. Recently, we have launched the original title Brian Dine Lunatic Sent and the Indy Game brand Happened Indie Collection, and have published indie games to players around the world, including Japan.

Strong package demand

── First, please let me know the status of each title. In Brian Dine Tunisia Sent (*1), the Steam version was recently released. It was a release from the console version, but what kind of impression did you get after release?

*1: Brian Dine Tunisia Sent. The nominal genre is a national simulation game. The aim is to unify the continent by repeating the army set on the continent and repeating the SRPG-style battle that adopts the hex system.

Maseru Saith: Brian Dine Tunisia Sent is a title released in June 2020 for Nintendo Switch and in December 2020 for PlayStation 4. The Steam version opened from there and was released in May 2022. Although the additional elements were prepared, it was two years from the console version, but the Steam version sales are growing more than expected. It was really popular and sold more than expected. I wondered if the user of the War shirt Males Game had more PCs. Thanks to you, thank you for the users who have been in the top release of STEAM in May!

And I was very happy with that reaction from overseas users, saying, Thank you for giving me a fantasy war shirt. In the Warchimulation, there is a so-called SRPG like the Fire Emblem series, but I think that there was certainly an unusual aspect considering that.

── Away (Away: The Survival Series) (*2) has been postponed. Can you ask the situation again?

*2: Away. A story-led action adventure game featuring Olomomonga as the main character. Players manipulate a small owlomomonga, glide, and search for food, search for a cable family, and adventure in the vast nature. It is developed by Canadian indie studio Breaking Walls.

Maseru Saith: Although the Steam version has already been distributed for Away, the PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5 version for domestic is now available in the summer of 2022. Initially, it was scheduled to be released in November 2021 for domestic, but the postponement has overlapped. In Happened, we are particular about expanding works to users as indie publishers. In Away, we want to correct the unfriendly parts of bugs and text, and we are modifying while discussing with the developer. We are planning to release it after the quality improves until we are satisfied with this. We are working hard to be satisfied with the quality, so please wait for a while.

*3: Mutant Turtles: Shredder Revenge. A belt scroll-type action game based on the TV anime series TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES broadcast in the 1980s. Pixel art and classical gameplay sung to bring players back in the 1980s. The download version was released on June 16, 2022, in Japan. According to Steam's user review, 93 % of 6600 out of 6,600 were popular at the time of writing, and the status was very popular.

Maseru Saith: Mutant Turtles: Shredder's Revenge has a download version released in June, and we will release Mutant Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Special Edition on August 25. I would like to do it. 。 The bundled benefits are the Turtles acrylic lamas stand and the original soundtrack. Since the download version of the package version has already been released, I thought that the number of reservations was not so good. However, honestly, it was surprising, but the reservation of the domestic package version is currently popular. In fact, even in other indie titles, the package version that adds additional elements is performing well, and I feel that the person who wants it as a thing is still in Japan, and there is a strong demand for the package version.

─。 The other day, Apopka: Sweet Nightmare (*4) was announced. How about response and response?

*Four: APOPKA: Sweet Nightmare. An adventure game under development by Quill Entertainment. Nico, the main character, Nico, a cat who has a bad mouth and a selfish cat, and the princess Molly of the Yogurt Kingdom. It is said that the truth hidden by my family will be revealed, including mystery solving, puzzles, and mini-games. At Steam, APOPKA: PROLOGUE equivalent to the trial version is being distributed for free.

Maseru Saith: APOPKA: Sweet Nightmare is an adventure game that aims to return home from a lost world in collaboration with friends of various animals. The title Apopka is a combination of apocalypse, which means the end, and utopia, which means the ideal village, but Apopka: In Sweet Nightmare, Mai crawls from despair. The climbing figure is drawn. During the game, mini-games and mystery solving will appear, and there are action elements as well as stories, so I think that it is a game that anyone can enjoy.

APOPKA: Sweet Nightmare is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2023, so it is still in the future, but we have partnered with the developer Quill Entertainment. First, I would like to develop with Quill Entertainment slowly for the next year, aiming to release it on Steam, and I would like to finish it with a good ADV.

Charitable in indie publishing **

で す ね It's been a while since the indie game publishing for the first time in earnest, but was there any situation, response, and impressive things?

Maseru Saith: We will continue to actively develop indie games from Japan and the world in the future, and we are negotiating with various companies and creators. We hope to develop more games to Japanese users, not just indie. I am also particular about Japanese text and localization. Regarding the quality of textbooks, we are working hard to get to the passing score of the games of Japanese eyes in Japan, with the cooperation of the developers in cooperation with the content of the game. Indeed, the example I'm particular about is AWAY (laughs)

What impressed me was that the titles I've been working on are very serious and passionate about games. It's not that domestic creators are not. For example, if you ask for something, you will get 5 proposals. I feel the passion of wanting to appeal to my game, so it's easy to work and work together.

── Finally, please give a message for readers.

Maseru Saith: In Happened, I would like to develop a lot of games that everyone can enjoy than to the game label Indie Collection. We will expand more than ever before, so thank you.

Thank you.

Many works, including the Happened Indie Collection, will be available from Happened.
