<bay|AX|JAST> (And it wasn't chaotic for once!) 22:41:07 <bay|AX|JAST> (JAST is 18+) 22:46:41 <bay|AX|JAST> (They are turning people away from the end of the line) 22:56:33 <bay|AX|JAST> (Now bringing in the line) 22:58:44 <bay|AX|JAST> (Giving out soft cover dues machina demonbane illustration books) 23:02:54 <bay|AX|JAST> (500 something lucky people are going to get in) 23:05:42 <bay|AX|JAST>

I see all kinds of things raised out there 23:16:12 <bay|AX|JAST> All right, without further ado, welcome to the JAST USA panel 23:16:19 <bay|AX|JAST> Some of us have things we typically do on saturday nights 23:16:33 <bay|AX|JAST> this is recognition that on some saturday nights, we just want to immerse ourself in some game... 23:16:48 <bay|AX|JAST> we have a lot to talk about tonight 23:16:53 <bay|AX|JAST> we've been really busy this past year and leading up to the con 23:16:59 <bay|AX|JAST> and one thing i want to say before we get started 23:17:32 <bay|AX|JAST> and you can stop by the booth to get by the games and the catalog with newly minted posters on the back 23:17:44 <bay|AX|JAST> and our booth is 819 23:17:52 <bay|AX|JAST> let's get things started 23:17:54 <bay|AX|JAST> who are we? 23:17:57 <bay|AX|JAST> we are jast usa 23:18:04 <bay|AX|JAST> we've been around for about 13-14 years 23:18:20 <bay|AX|JAST> did our 10th celebration about 4 years ago.... 23:18:27 <bay|AX|JAST> we've been around for a long time, bringing you games from japan translated into english 23:18:45 <bay|AX|JAST> (brands:nitro+, jast densetsu, peach princess, gcollections) 23:18:51 <bay|AX|JAST> we're proud to bring demonbane 23:19:02 <bay|AX|JAST> jast densetsu is for a new tier of games that we've been able to get 23:19:09 <bay|AX|JAST> of high quality games 23:19:26 <bay|AX|JAST> we're going to refocus peach princess to ecchi sexy in your face erotica type of game 23:19:35 <bay|AX|JAST> so from now on, please enjoy peach princess 23:19:55 <bay|AX|JAST> gcollection is something we inherited from another company and has entered it's retired period 23:20:18 <bay|AX|JAST> we have everything released for that one so the brand is retired 23:20:19 <bay|AX|JAST> when we saw you last... 23:20:29 <bay|AX|JAST> raidgII and downhill night 2 23:20:38 <bay|AX|JAST> one is a yuri lesbian rpg and the other is a downhill drift racing game 23:20:44 <bay|AX|JAST> wnat to bring them up before they fade into the back catalog 23:20:53 <bay|AX|JAST> so what have we been up to for the past year 23:20:55 <bay|AX|JAST> 2010-2011 23:20:56 <bay|AX|JAST> a year in eroge 23:20:59 <bay|AX|JAST> we have two new games for you this year... 23:22:56 <bay|AX|JAST> Deus Machina Demonbane 23:22:59 <bay|AX|JAST> (trailer just showed) 23:23:10 <bay|AX|JAST> and after 2 long years, it's on sale 23:23:10 <bay|AX|JAST> as of this may 23:23:20 <bay|AX|JAST> this is a game that is the first game we've released in partnership with nitro+ 23:23:31 <bay|AX|JAST> known for steins gate and one of their famous writers wrote the scenario from madoka magica 23:23:37 <bay|AX|JAST> we're really psyched to be working with them 23:24:15 <bay|AX|JAST> and demonbane, on the back of the box it is called a melodramatic, [lost] inspired adventure... 23:24:22 <bay|AX|JAST> other new game we have is gone under the radar a bit 23:24:38 <bay|AX|JAST> it's going to be a series of game that pair choice point selection with arcade game 23:24:43 <bay|AX|JAST> the first one is Yuri all girls game 23:24:45 <bay|AX|JAST> escalation Yukkuri panic 23:24:55 <bay|AX|JAST> takes place in a catholic girls school 23:25:24 <bay|AX|JAST> both games are on the same disc and both have the same characters but different story lines 23:25:29 <bay|AX|JAST> going to give you a couple minutes of gameplay up next 23:27:19 <bay|AX|JAST> (you block off areas to clear the screen to win) 23:27:23 <bay|AX|JAST> and obviously... this is the pg version... 23:27:47 <bay|AX|JAST> next thing is stuff in progress that we've talked about before 23:27:48 <bay|AX|JAST> downhill night blaze is the 3rd in the downhill series 23:27:51 <bay|AX|JAST> the first one had racing with timed choice points 23:28:05 <bay|AX|JAST> this one actually puts you in the drivers seat and lets you race on the track 23:29:01 <bay|AX|JAST> the reason this has been in the works for a while is the earthquake that happened in japan caused the company that owned this to disolve 23:28:29 <bay|AX|JAST> so we have this in the hands of other capable programmers 23:28:45 <bay|AX|JAST> and we're going to resolve the issues with the 3d which is giving us headaches... hope to have it out this year 23:30:51 <bay|AX|JAST> Jast densetsu brand... 23:30:55 <bay|AX|JAST> Yumina the ethereal 23:31:20 <bay|AX|JAST> we've been working on it for a while, nearing compeltion.. we have the translation complete, we have some dedicated folks doing the translation and image editing the 4000 images in this game 23:31:27 <bay|AX|JAST> think we're going to have a release this year for it as well 23:31:42 <bay|AX|JAST> it's a great rpg that starts out in school and migrates to a fantasy land 23:31:52 <bay|AX|JAST> going to have a lot more information about it soon 23:32:01 <bay|AX|JAST> 2011 new announcements 23:32:10 <bay|AX|JAST> as you can see, we have two new games for you this year 23:32:25 <bay|AX|JAST> this may seem like a small amount because we spent last fall and this spring talking with companies about new titles 23:32:47 <bay|AX|JAST> right now i'm going to go over ones we've anouncd earlier in the year online 23:32:53 <bay|AX|JAST> School Days HQ 23:34:58 <bay|AX|JAST> this one doesn't need a whole lot of introduction 23:35:09 <bay|AX|JAST> think you all heard of the nice
