Type-moon has announced the new release date for Mahou Tsukai no yoru to be “within 2011″. They hope to announce an exact release date again soon once they are sure.
The game was originally announced in Jan 2009, so they’ll still need to delay another year if they want to beat the likes of top eroge like Muvluv Alternative which took 3 years from announcement to release.
– What’s your favorite battle scene?
My favorite is the fight between magical girls in episode 5. Sayaka and Kyouko are similar in that they’re both close range fighters, we tried to make their individual traits stand out. It might actually be more interesting if you watched it knowing the special traits for both sides.
Sayaka is a speed & power type, but her skill level is low. Kyouko is also a speed & power type, but her skill level is much higher so her attack power is higher than Sayaka. On the other hand Sayaka’s recovery speed and defence is much higher, while Kyouko’s defence power is low. If she gets hit by an attack she’s surprisingly fragile, she isn’t very good at defending.
– So what can you say about Homura as compared to Sayaka and Kyouko?
The setting is that Homura is actually quite weak as a magical girl, even Urobuchi said that she’s “no different from an ordinary girl”. Of course, after she transforms she’s slightly stronger than a normal girl, but amongst all the magical girls, she’s one of the weakest types.
So to make up for it, she uses a lot of different abilities and tricks. In episode 8 she could not escape from Kyouko’s hold so we know her ability is not teleportation. In episode 6 when she was chasing after Sayaka’s soul gem she was stopping time and running on foot. She’s a really special type of magical girl
Sansai Books will be releasing a book called Kawaii Security on the 14th of March. The book will use illustrations and manga to talk about the threat of computer viruses and how to deal with them, and will also have illustrated personifications of over 30 different viruses that have spread themselves all over the world since the 1980s.
In the security software catalog will also be 4 moe personifications of security software that have been officially approved by the respective companies, and 5 chapters of the original manga “Security senshi Hikari”.
There will also be a A4 size pin-up by Nishimata Aoi and Mitsumomo Mamu, and a CD with the trial version for Panda Internet Security.
In secret I can only think of ero scenes when it comes to personifications of viruses, security holes and buffer overflows.

This fighting games that will be featured in the fighting game tournament Tougeki 2011 have been announced and there are only 4 games this time, Super Street Fighter 4 AE, Blazblue CS2, Super Street Fighter 2 X, and the Aquaplus fighting game Aquapazza.
Also they’ll be having a Tougeki 2nd round in the later part of the year so they can have Tekken Tag Tournament 2, as the arcade release of the game will be too close to the Tougeki grand finals to have time to conduct preliminaries and stuff.
Why is Aquapazza there instead of 3rd Strike.
Catherine pretty awesome
Himawari was supposed to be released on the iPhone
Has been going through the app store certification process for a month now and it seems it won’t get approved for release (even though they already removed the ero and stuff)

Tanaka Romeo’s light novel series Jinrui wa suitai shimashita is going to be made into an anime, no other details are known yet. I have no idea how they’re actually going to make this into an anime. It can’t possibly work.
Also, Negima movie this summer.
Basically, please follow the guidelines that have been laid out so far.
Details can be found at http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Yoyo/1736/t-081-2.html (Japanese)
Also, works that were announced as doujin work are not allowed to enter commercial distribution.
* As for the contents of each doujin work, they will not be looked through on an individual basis, so please carry out any creative activities using your own judgement and responsibility.
For commercial goods, approval will be required.
A friend is helping me with going through applications now.
For industry people, please use the form to make an inquiry and we’ll get back to you.
* For commercial goods, please refrain from goods with any sexual expressions (like pillow cases with sexual expressions etc)
The following types of derivative works are restricted for both doujin and commercial.
- Works selling for profit that have animation as the main focus of the product. The definition for animation in this case refers to “cel animation”, animation created using 3D software or using illustrations combined with effects are not included in this definition
- Selling through the Xbox360 indie game service
- Selling through the AppStore or Android market (for commercial use, please make an inquiry)
- Any form of distribution that expands beyond what the original is doing right now (touhou is only distributed via normal doujin distribution channels, so selling downloadable content to foreigners etc is over the limit)
- Overly sexual depictions, or anything that defames individual people, groups, or races, or anything that is determined as inappropriate according to conventional wisdom (overly sexual depictions is later defined as anything that breaks Japan law)
Too much work at year end :(
Satou Shuuhou starting new manga called Bokuman about mangaka
Satou Shuuhou + Ishiki Tokihiko combine to bring you a new unique manga about mangaka called Bokuman! Probably a coincidence that the title sounds like Bakuman.

Each person could vote for up to 6 different titles, and each person could give an additional +1 or +2 points to a title he feels was really game (total of 3 extra points to spend). With each game vote the person can choose one aspect of the game which he thought was exceptionally good, so games with good scenario get a higher score in the scenario section and games with better “gaming” get a higher score in the Playability section.
