From an Aksys employee's mouth: "We were reasonably satisfied with the performance of Deathsmiles, but we are not currently pursuing any other similar games."
If this is Aksys' attitude, I shudder to think what Rising Star's future plans concerning Cave games are. The Aksys-published US version is by far the best-selling Cave-developed 360 port of all time -- meanwhile, the Rising Star-published EU version will end up with average (perhaps even below average) lifetime sales if the way it's sold so far is any indication.
(By the way, check out the great tags people have given the thread where the employee made the statement: "aksys is the devil", "day is ruined", "disaster of 2011", "judas" and "ultimate betrayal".)
I don't understand how you can just completely throw away a niche audience like that when you are one of the only, if not the only, publisher providing that kind of experience.
I haven't seen any other games like Deathsmilies at my local Gamestop, I know that much.
