MonkeyPaw Games' Kickstarter project on Class of Heroes 2 didn't fund, but it still raised plenty of awareness for the import PSP title, which will be seeing a digital release on PSN later this year. Kotaku discusses with MonkeyPaw Games president John Greiner and Gaijinworks president Victor Ireland about JRPG fan support, lessons learned and the companies' chances of obtaining key game licenses in the future.
The Nerd Stash: "The rarest PSP games of all time are some of the most underrated titles with niche gameplay styles and huge fanbases."
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and Tokyo-based (Japan) video games publisher and developer Acquire, today announced with great delight and excitement that "Class of Heroes 1 & 2: Complete Edition", is coming to PC (Steam) and consoles (PS5 and the Nintendo Switch) on April 26th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Today Acquire announced a brand new game set in the Class of Heroes world, Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent.
I pledged this project all the way to the end but will still be getting the digital release anyway. My love of JRPGs is too strong to ignore some of the good things some companies are doing to recapture old memories of buying videogames.
