eXceed: Gun Bullet Children is slated to hit Steam in late March along with the last two games in the series(both to be playable in English!). Thanks to volunteer translation and hacking work(along with my editing), my team(Iwakura Productions) will be handling the official translation, as approved by the developers, to potentially be patched into the game at a later date; also approved by the devs.

The success of these games will (hopefully) pave the way for the success of doujin games(and shmups!) on Steam, so here's hoping the endeavor pays off.

Regardless, it'll be a fun trip.




Also, the script is good stuff. I'm genuinely looking forward to the editing process.


So anyone who was worried about the state of this game's script: worry not.

It's in good hands. We got this.

Read that wall of text they posted earlier on facebook. Wish you and your team good luck and like you said hopefully it paves the way for more shmups on steam (why aren't you listening cave).

Mais oui, Cave games on Steam plz. Time to hook up my bat top TE n play me some eXceed!

Did you guys forget Valve hates shmups in general like Sony? They don't let them in UNLESS THEY ARE SUPER DUPER HD and support 16:9/16:10 natively.

btw what happened to the English translation for Steam. Just about to buy the collection on Steam, and it says that the original is still in Japanese. Not that it's going to hinder me from buying (have already played the Japanese release) just curious is all...

btw what happened to the English translation for Steam.

A quick bit of backgroud FYI: The original plan was to release the eXceed Collection (eX 2nd + eX 3rd with the original version of eX GBC basically as a bonus) and eX 2nd & eX 3rd as standalone products. However, Capcom wanted to make eX GBC available for people who might want to purchase it separately, so it was spun out as a separate product.

There was no specific plan to localize eX GBC for Steam, although we are discussing making an official English language patch with Capcom and Iwakura Productions. That discussion is still ongoing, but in the meantime, Iwakura Productions has decided to shortcut the process and release the beta version of the patch. That's kinda their prerogative (they're a fan translation group!), but it might well derail the 'official patch' discussion... we'll see.

Ah I see. Well thank you very much for the response! Had a blast playing GBC last night and can't wait to tackle the other two.

Gave the beta translation a try to get the gist of the story. None too shabby.

Excellent. If you enjoy the first one, you should love the other two
