We’re certainly planning on remedying this problem, worry not!

As was mentioned elsewhere, as this is part of SCEA’s PubFund program, the game will be a digital-only release.
Sadly the costs for an independent developer/publisher going to retail are just far too high – in the case of a game like this, it would very likely cost as much if not more to get the game manufactured and shipped to stores than the rest of the development costs combined!

@73: That is just foolish.

And I value physical releases. I won’t buy a game if it was released physically elsewhere, and is only digital here. *looks at Xseed* -.-

However, not every game is worth a physical release. I understand that, so am fine with digital games as long as they’re designed for PSN and not just SCEA (or a 3rd party publisher) being cheap in our region and going digital only with a physical game’s localization.

And let’s just say digital goes away. That doesn’t mean developers who are making digital games on the PS3, will make physical games. They’ll probably be forced to move to other platforms because of the cost and risk involved with retail. Digital allows more games to get to gamers, and allows for more risky and experimental games without the risk of closure.

Freakin’ aye. I’m there dude. Vita owner here and I love these kind of indie throwback rpg’s. Just looking at it takes me back to being 11, and playing Mystic Quest (may not sound like a compliment, but it is from me).

Day 1!

@ StarFoxMania

Well, you’re a Grade-A goofball if I’ve ever seen one…

You want to talk about “irrelevance”? How about the importance you place on “man hours”? Really?!?! It doesn’t matter if it takes 1 minute to develop or 1 full decade. The bottom line is a high-quality end result. If that’s what we have here, that’s all that matters.

The entire point (that you missed) is that graphics themselves are IRRELEVANT in a GAMING experience.

The box art on board games is IRRELEVANT because it’s about how fun the game inside the box is. Right?

That’s also why box art on video games is IRRELEVANT too! The look of the actual game is IRRELEVANT too as long as the game is FUN TO PLAY!

Hell, your entire argument IRRELEVANT!

My post was clearly not directed at ppl who want to buy the game. I thought that was obvious??? Unless you are drawn to conflict.@ twindad: picking on criticism based on ideas and opinions, simply because they are different from your opinions is far closer to trolling than said criticism is :)

and good lord.. art gallery… sigh* i spoke about programming man hours strictly on the technical side of things, not artistic direction, not good looks in general, oh i know i’ll go watch a freaking antique motorcycle show cause my game doesn’t look good, ffs! Irrelevance ftw!
