Cave World (international iOS website) closing

Post by Oniros »

Last year was the twitter account, now it's the website. Hopefully this doesn't mean they'll drop support for their iOS ports.

You're right. Finding MushihimeSama Futari Guidebook is a bitch in these days: all of them 100 dollars and more.

From the link I posted:
"CAVE WORLD" has moved to another serve.
In 10 seconds you will be taken to new site:

*After 21 June, this website will be closed.
Japanese domain with barely any English info on it. Again, I could be exaggerating but given how long it took them to update Deathsmiles to support iOS 8.1 who knows how long until they don't care about the Western iOS ports anymore.

English and Japanese iOS releases are the same. If they don't support one, they won't support the other. Though lots of stuff has happened internally with Cave since their last English iOS release, I don't think their western audience is a huge priority right now. Maybe they'll prove me wrong and release Donpacchin and Gomaotsu on the western iOS store, don't count on it though.

Spork is right though, these iOS titles are going to become extinct anyway. Just like their keitai era games.
