I will be honest in that I was not quite sure as to how I would respond to Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim. On one hand I felt like a kid on Christmas to have been able to re-experience this after a decade. On the other I’ve wondered on…
Back when I was a youngster, I was right into my JRPGs. Nothing has really changed since then with regards to that passion, but back in those days, being a JRPG fan was a dark time for Australians indeed. So many of the classic JRPGs on the Super Nintendo never…
Imageepoch, the developer behind the supremely underrated Time & Eternity, Criminal Girls: Invitation Only, Luminous Arc, and the upcoming Stella Glow, has filed for bankruptcy in its homeland in Japan. The company apparently owes 1.1 billion yen across approximately 43 creditors, while its affiliate company, Smile Online Games owes three…
