Updates
Aug-13-2007: We've been pretty quiet lately because we're busy behind the scenes... Cute Knight Deluxe is available in selected stores across America now - for the rest of the world, get it here! Fatal Hearts is still in development and we are hoping it will be ready by Halloween.
In the meantime, if you need a new game to play, here's something cute - Emerald Tale - a friendly fantasy game where you collect treasures and gems while matching or blowing up colored blocks. No cute anime girls, unfortunately, but it's very relaxing and we had fun playing it.
