Livedoor news reports that a fire had broken out at the offices of eroge maker Circus. The cause of the fire is not yet known and there has not been any comment from Circus about the incident yet, but the local fire station in the area has commented that approximately half of the office have been damaged by the fire.

Circus had just announced a bunch of Da Capo projects and a bright future recently too. Man.

From the interview:

  • Square Enix asked them if they would like to do a new Estpolis game
  • The second game’s system was a lot more refined, the scenario and music were well liked, and it took place before the first game too, so we decided to use the second game as the motif (Kojima Hajime)
  • We didn’t want to do a straight port (Ukeda Naoyuki)
  • Square Enix told us that we’re free to do whatever we ant (Ukeda)
  • So that’s what we’ll do! (Ukeda)
  • Turn based command battle systems aren’t new anymore, so we’re making it an action rpg now (Kojima)
  • It’s not just a remake, we’re rebuilding the story, the characters, and the world settings (Miyata Masahide)
  • The hadou weapons will be a key component of the story, the world is different from the SFC version (Miyata)
  • The bottom screen will only be used to switch characters (Kojima)
  • The game will revolve around the D-pad more than the touch pen (Kojima)
  • Boss battles will use two screens, it has its own special code for that part (Ukeda)
  • Boss battles will be hard if you don’t know what to do against each one of them (Miyata)
  • “It will satisfy action game players, but players that are bad with action games will be okay too” by Kojima
  • Scenario is based on the second game, there are parts where we are deliberately letting them say the exact same words as in the original game (Miyata)
  • But basically, everything is rewritten (Miyata)
  • The number of towns that are appearing in the game is different from the original two games (Miyata)
  • There will be parts in the game which will make fans of the series smile (Miyata)
  • Miyata has surprisingly not changed at all. He’s just embarrassed reading his scenario from 15 years ago (Ukeda)
  • The music is being brought over from the original two games (Ukeda)
  • We changed the sound quality without messing with the melody line (Ukeda)
  • The main staff from the SFC versions are making this game. It’s rare to have something like that 15 years after the last game (Ukeda)
  • Stuff such as “Mahou no XXXX Magical XXXXXX” from the original are still in the game (Kojima)
  • We changed a lot in the game, but we constantly kept in our minds that “we should keep the parts that made the series what it is” (Kojima)

    I completely thought they’re finally going to release part 3 and end the trilogy finally, but it’s actually a remake of 2!

    Lets go Mahou no Hitozuma Magical Selena

    Kojima Hideo meets Type-moon

    Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

    Yesterday, introduced via Ishii Jirou from Chunsoft, I managed to get a chance to have a meal with the two gentlemen from TYPE-MOON, Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi.

    The meeting only lasted for a short while, but the meeting was pure enjoyment and I have not had something like that in a while.

    It was the first time we met but I felt like we had already known each other for a long time, I felt a kind of affinity that was like deja vu.

    It’s a special privilege that only creators have. Even when age or race are completely different, we can still understand each other instantly when we have the same “smell”.

    Even though we’re from completely different areas, it does raise my spirits to get to know people who are working really hard and suffering in agony but continue to still create new work.

    It makes me feel that I have to continue working just as hard as they are too!

    is that kojima's

    I got them to sign a copy of Kara no kyoukai as we parted.

    sign

    Nasu-san, Takeuchi-san, Ishii-san, thank you very much.
