I hope it does. I heard it's facing a lawsuit or something like that. But the game looks very good. I want it to happen.

i highly doubt it, but do check out Bounty Sisters instead, which is made by the creative team behind steam pilots (sans furukawa)

I still want Steam Pilots to happen. That lawsuit needs to be settled once and for all. I mean, they even got Mariko Kouda to do the theme song and voice the heroine...

I doubt the lawsuit will settle because from all accounts, Furukawa is a cunt who has burned bridges with everyone he's ever worked with. These people making the Bounty Sisters game are using the leftover assets they salvaged from Steam Pilots.
