Imageepoch Step Into Publishing (and more)

By Mark

If you've played a lot of Japanese DS games then you may have heard of Imageepoch, they were behind titles like Luminous Arc and 7th Dragon among others, it would seem that they are now ready to step up and publish titles that come from other developers.

A feature over at Andriasang has all the details and I'll explain some of the more interesting ones here. Their publishing efforts begin with a game called "Saigo no Yakusoku no Monogatari" or for english speakers "Final Promise Story". It's classed as a dungeon RPG and claims to have a serious story and high strategic combat and will be housed on the PSP.

The CEO of the company Ryoei Mikage who is also the game's executive producer goes on to explain an interesting element of the game, and this is that if a character dies in combat it means that they are lost forever and it will have an effect on the story. To what extent noone knows but the idea is cool and the original concept was called 'Lost Game'. Here's a trailer for it



There are some other things of note such as Sega becoming a main distributor for Imageepoch and some other titles that the company is working on so get on over to the feature here.
