Level-5 acquires Comcept, now Level-5 Comcept



Level-5 has acquired Comcept, and the subsidiary is now known as Level-5 Comcept, the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reports.

The magazine has an interview with Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino, and Comcept founder Keiji Inafune. Here are the tidbits:

From around the time we worked together on Guild 02, there have been talks about doing something together.

Inafune: “I had the feeling that I wanted to be like Hino since around the time I was at Capcom.”

To easily describe it, Level-5 Comcept is a company that combines the philosophies of both companies.

It is a new company with the base staff of Comcept and the involvement of Akihiro Hino.

Inafune: Although there are plans to close Comcept as it currently stands in the future, I will take responsibility for the titles I’m working on until the end.

Level-5 Comcept is a subsidiary of Level-5. To paint a picture, instead of receiving instruction and then working on a title, it is a place where the Comcept team and Hino will make games together.

Level-5 Comcept is based in Osaka. In the future, they want it to play the role of Level-5’s Osaka studio.

Currently, Level-5 Comcept is made up of about 15 people, who are mostly Comcept members, but they want to gradually recruit staff from here on.

The goal is to make games that show that they’re in the league of Inafune.

The first game by Level-5 Comcept is an iOS and Android title called Dragon Colonies, which is due out in Japan in 2018. It is set in a world where various races, including humans, magic beings, and large beasts, live together. It features dice-shaped, miniature garden colonies called “Hacolonies,” which players can freely build up. The focus is on player-versus-player battles and building the strongest Hacolony. You will become stronger by establishing facilities and placing dragons on five of the six Hacolony sides to act as weapons. One side of the Hacolony has a crest, which by uniting with an enemy Hacolony becomes a battlefield.Battles are real-time, and victory goes to the first player to destroy the enemy’s Hacolony.

The Snack World: Trejarers delayed to August 10 for 3DS in Japan, 2018 for smartphones
LEVEL5社新作延期发售8月才能玩到《甜点幻想》了

　　LEVEL5社的新作《甜点幻想》于日前宣布延期发售，从原定的2017年7月13日延期至8月10日发售，延期理由为确保游戏品质。

　　《甜点幻想》为L5社继《闪电十一人》、《纸箱战机》、《妖怪手表》之后的第四弹跨媒体企划，本作最初于2015年4月的新作发布会上公开，随着今年4月新番动画的开播，这个横跨动画、漫画、游戏、电影及玩具等多平台的综合IP终于开始崭露头角，本作的游戏版将登录3DS、IOS和安卓平台。

　　熟悉LEVEL5社的玩家一定了解，虽然LEVEL5开发了众多人气作品，但IP火的快，人气散的也很快，而LEVEL5社似乎也并没有把重心放在维续IP上，而是不断推陈出新，在《妖怪手表》这个IP逐渐退热的同时，画了两年的“大饼”《甜点幻想》终于要来了，并且这次还是多媒体平台的综合IP。到底游戏素质如何，还要等待LEVEL5这张大饼摊熟了的时候。

Level-5 has delayed the 3DS version of The Snack World: Trejarers from its previously planned release date of July 13 in Japan to August 10. It will cost 4,800 yen (5,184 yen with tax).

According to Level-5, the release date was changed in order to enhance the quality of the game and allow everyone to play with peace of mind.

The smartphone version of The Snack World was also quietly delayed from its previously planned December 2017 release date in Japan to a general 2018 release window.

Level-5 also released a new trailer and set of TV spots featuring the new date.

The trailer highlights the game’s traditional fantasy, yet modern-style setting. Players will create a custom character and become Trejarers, and come across characters like Chup and his group on their adventure. Players will go on quests, take on dungeons full of various mechanics, and battle surreal and unique monsters with various weak points in “Jara Battles” where you fight by switching weapons. You’ll get casino-esque rewards while fighting, and formidable bosses await in the dungeon’s depths. Up to four players can fight cooperatively in local and online multiplayer.
