20:08:17 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> Welcome to the Sekai Project anime expo industry panel
20:08:24 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> we weren't expecting this many people to show up
20:08:31 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> so if you're here for funiamtion that's already over
20:08:45 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> Sekai Project, we're a los angeles based licensing and localization company
20:08:52 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> before i go further, introducing members of the team
20:10:32 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> Hi, I'm Randy, I'm the guy who translated Narcissu 2, and working on other Narcissu things
20:09:35 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> My name is Yui, i'm the project director, mostly management, I write post for kickstarters, I write the tweets and the facebooking
20:09:44 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> And my name is Chris, i'm in charge of licensing for Sekai Project
20:09:53 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> so if you have any complaints about that, talk to us afterwards
20:10:10 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> Well, without further adieu, we're going to talk about current projects, and after that, we're going for announcements
20:10:16 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> First, Narcissu 1st and 2nd
20:10:24 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> was greenlit in under a month
20:10:55 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> Randy here did the translation, with him and gp32, we're touching it up, and we're working on getting it on PC/Mac/linux
20:11:11 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> It's up on steam
20:11:16 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> the only thing you can buy is the OST
20:11:21 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> it's completely free
20:11:38 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> we make almost nothing on this game...
20:11:42 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> on top of that...
20:12:27 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> aside from that, we have this wonderful idea for a fanbook, so we're acting a bunch of artists who are popular, like artist market... and (???) to help us prepare some art
20:12:38 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> we're hoping to kickstart it...
20:12:51 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> speaking of kickstarter, who saw our first one for the moe headphones
20:12:59 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> so that is the work of the artist tsukigami luna
20:13:07 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> and he's with us today, so we're going to ask him to come up here
20:13:30 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> so for everyone hwo isn't aware, the moe headphones guidebook is a book that he did under the lunatic joker circle for comiket
20:13:47 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> and beside illustrations, it has info on designer headphones.. (lost)
20:13:53 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> and comments from music creators
20:14:12 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> and we started the kickstarter project of just $5k to just translate it..
20:14:21 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> and you guys pulled through and we got $25k
20:14:31 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> we were able to produce a very high quality
20:14:34 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> there's still some stuff that isn't done
20:14:40 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> i apologize to the backers
20:14:44 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> we're working on getting it out
20:15:03 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> now a word from the creator
20:15:05 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> Hi, I tsukigami Luna
20:15:15 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> I came to AX from Japan last night and I'm now enjoying myself here
20:15:26 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> and I'm surprised because there is a lot more cosplayer here than at Japanese evnets
20:15:51 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> As you know, in august is annual comiket , how many of you will be there?
20:16:04 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> So thanks to sekai project for translating all the text int he book
20:16:42 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> So we asked like what he was thinking to do next, and he was like "We just finished this, so i haven't thought about it... maybe figures"
20:16:48 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> maybe actual headphones
20:17:05 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> like the nekomimi headphones that were on kickstarter
20:17:09 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> so if people want this kind of thing, let him know
20:17:30 <bay|AX|SekaiProject> tweet it to sekai project and they will tell him
