Guys, we had a GREAT run.
When we started this company in 2011, our primary goals were to support some truly talented Japanese indie developers, to introduce Japanese indie games to overseas gamers, and contribute to the growth of the Japanese indie gaming scene. 11 years later, it's fair to say that, while we made mistakes and fell short at times, we achieved what we set out to do and we can call this a 'WIN'.
The video games industry has changed a lot since we started out, and the tools, resources, and perspective available to Japanese indie devs have broadened and improved to the point where there isn't much need for a company like ours... and that's GREAT!! We hope to see more Japanese indie games making it overseas under their own steam (no crappy pun intended)!
So the time has come for us to close the curtain on Nyu Media, but PLEASE NOTE that all games and related DLC in our catalog will remain for sale on Steam, with the exception of the Cherry Tree High games, which will be delisted from all platforms after the final day of this year's Steam Summer Sale.
For clarity, here is list of our current titles and what will happen to them from July 1st:
The following titles and related OST, etc. will remain on sale on Steam and publishing responsibilities will transfer as follows:
- ALLTYNEX Second (SITER SKAIN) > SITER SKAIN will become the new publisher
- KAMUI (SITER SKAIN) > SITER SKAIN
