There is only one other official Corpse Party game, and if this one does well for us, we’d love to work on it.

Will the other Corpse Party games be translated as well?

Umineko is a fantastic series of visual novels, but they are *extremely* wordy. The sheer amount of time we’d need simply to edit the text, much less translate it, makes it an unlikely choice for localization, as it would be difficult to justify the time and the costs associated with such a massive undertaking.

It’s not outside the realm of possibility, of course, as we’re definitely fans of Ryukishi07′s works here. But being a fan and being able to justify a huge project like this are two very different things!

It would be awesome to work on that title, though, to be sure.

Progress is being made on GKH, slowly but surely. I’m certain we’ll have more news on that one sometime in the near future!

You should be fine with 1 GB, as the uncompressed file size of the game is right around 775 MB — which means the PSN size will most likely be smaller still. Can’t give you an exact number until closer to release, but I’m betting it’ll be in the 400-600 MB range.

As for “Corpse Party: Book of Shadows,” that really all depends on how well the first game sells. If it sells well, then we’ll absolutely pursue the sequel — I’m chomping at the bit to work on it, personally, as I had an absolute blast working on the first one. So keep your fingers crossed for the first one to be a success, and spread the word as best as you can! ;)

By the way, being a huge fan of morbid visual novels (and anything similar), I would like to ask if you guys have any interest on localizing the PS3 remakes of Umineko no Naku Koro ni? (With the first part released in Japan on December of last year and the second part this coming December.) I guarantee that if you do, I’ll be pre-ordering them as soon that they show up on Amazon.com. Or suppose you guys also plan on releasing a collector’s edition for both of them, I will be pre-ordering both those and the regular versions, too (no reason not to support a company that caters to your interests, after all.)

How big will this game be? The reason I ask is because I only have a bit less than 1GB left on my memory stick, but I’m not too keen on buying another one unless it’s really needed (in other words, I will only buy a new memory stick if “Corpse Party” is larger than 1GB.)

In any case, it is very nice to know that you guys are localizing this game (gosh, I have been waiting for this to happen ever since I first caught news of it last year.) So, will you guys also localize “Corpse Party: Book of Shadows” at some point in the future, too (I know PSP games are not very well-supported in the West, but since it’s you guys, I believe you can work something out, right?)

If the story is good then I might check it out sometime down the road. The game has a nice opening. And I hope there going to be some more news about Grand Knights History soon.:)
