Peter Payne said they wanted to release Shiny Days before Anime Expo, yet the stated release date on JAST USA's shop is August 25th.  That's interesting.

I'm guessing that interview was recorded a month or so ago. Remember when the Shiny Days announcement was posted, he said he wanted to get it out in June/July.

I wonder why it took them like 3 weeks to post the interview.

[Decay]

I couldn't tell you what the holdup was in this case, maybe JAST wanted to wait until Starless was out and people saw how the patch thing actually went down before listening. But these kinds of postponements/embargos are really common in the rest of the gaming industry. I mean, they announced the interview months ago so the whole process takes time.

really interesting interview I was hoping to listen to that song by the end

Peter Payne has posted the interview on the JAST official forums and is now responding to comments.

Was there any new info for a Sumaga or Seinarukana release date ?

[sanahtlig]

They were mentioned but I don't think anything definite was said.

I would like to reemphasize that Peter Payne is now responding to users in the official interview thread. Drop by if you'd like to ask him a question while he's still around.

Was there any new info for a Sumaga or Seinarukana release date ?

Just a reiteration that they'd like to release them this year. They seem to want to clear out their entire back catalog this year.

Peter also said they'd update their Tumblr upcoming projects page before the interview was released.  Welp.

Peter Payne confirmed that their goal is still to get Raidy 3 and Shiny Days out before Anime Expo (July 1).  However, he cautioned that just because the games would be ready for the conventions doesn't mean they'd be ready to ship, as they wouldn't have the manpower to make it to all the conventions and actually ship everything out.

 

We are aiming to get both Raidy III and Shiny out by AX. As usual, we can never be sure. Among other things, printing proper boxes causes all kinds of delays with printers, who suddenly need 7+ weeks just to print the boxes/artbooks/whatever.
