Victor Ireland is a legend among the JRPG fanbase. Don't know him? You should. He was the former President of Working Designs, a company whose mission was to discover quality niche RPGs in Japan, translate, and then localize them for Western audiences to consume when the developers across the ocean didn't have the guts (or more likely, the finances) to do so, especially games that no other publisher would give a chance. The titles that Victor and his former company brought over that were adored by millions of those loyal to the genre include Lunar Silver Star Story Complete and its sequel Lunar 2: Eternal Blue, Alundra, and Arc the Lad. We spoke to the President of Gaijinworks about his Kickstarter effort and some of his dream projects!

I dont believe the financial numbers. Your telling me it takes 500k to fund 7k copies?
I just cant believe that
How do you think they are funding those trips at the higher levels?
"He was the former President of Working Designs"
Isn't he STILL the former president of Working Designs?
On topic: I hope they make it, but chances look slim at best.
It's been a week and they've only gotten 58k. They have 23 days to get 442k, so they need nearly 20k a day.
20k a day and yet...they've averaged 8k a day over their first week. Ergh...yeah, sadly this doesn't look like it'll happen. =/
