I'm confused. Why would we reveal the release of a legume eggsalad at the premiere of Evita 3?

Yes. Everyone would be expecting that!

That's one of the downsides of being a tiny company, unfortunately. The smaller you are, the harder it is to schedule a game launch with any certainty. There's such a huge mountain of work involved just to get a game published -- especially physically -- and there are so many things that can go wrong or cause delays... In a bigger company, there's usually money and manpower available to deal with such things quickly and easily, even at a moment's notice, but when your company's employees number in the single digits, even the slightest unexpected delay can force virtually every other project you're working on to get pushed back while you rearrange resources to account for it.

That's why you'll usually see last-minute release date announcements from small companies like us. (Either that, or you'll see lots of delays. But we prefer to hold off on announcing release dates until we can be sure, rather than announcing them early and constantly pushing them back.)

Well, that's reasonable. It makes sense, that's why I like when we can get information of how the company works how it works.

And hopefully all those out there might just understand why XSEED can't always do a physical release especially in such a market.

And the company's situation regarding SC and TC.

And the company's situation regarding SC and TC.

Yeah, that too. Though both just have enormous amounts of text in them and the release format is still up in the air.

Same thing with GHK as well. I think they're all very discussed topics because XSEED actually replies to them, because we don't see many people talking about BRS on NISA Forums or any sort of think on Aksys Forums at all.

So what can you say about NISA and Aksys forums?

@Wyrdwad

Is XSEED Games also responsible for printing the games?

Cause I would like to know, how much time does it take a company to print copies of a game for retailers?

Erm, we have them printed, yes... but we don't do the printing ourselves!

There are companies out there who produce and package video games for retail markets, and we make use of them. It does take some time, but it only really entails that we finalize a game's packaging at least a month or two before the game ships to retailers.
