Not content with only working on the localization of Chantelise (which they have announced will be out by the end of the month), Carpe Fulgur announced yesterday at this year's AnimeExpo convention that they are bringing another game to the Western shores with Fortune Summoners, originally developed by a one-man studio called Lizsoft. More information about the gane and what the port will feature can be found at Carpe Fulgur's blog post addressing the acquisition.
This unique side-scrolling RPG blends elements of physics-based puzzles and hack-n-slash mechanics, where the player must rely on a group of friends in order to advance in the game in what the developers call a "real-time RPG". You play as Arche Plumfield, a little girl who just moved with her family and is about to attend a new school where she will learn magic. On the way to the school she encounters two monsters, which she easily defeats, but not before her leg is injured and she becomes unable to walk. Fortunately, another girl named Sana comes by and heals her leg with magic, and they decide to go to school together. After arriving at school and introducing herself to her new class and taking her first lesson, she finds out that she can't use magic without a Spirit Stone, so Arche sets out to aquire her own Spirit Stone in a nearby cave filled with monsters. |

Good they actually went through with it. Reading on the forums when it was brought up a few months ago, didn't seem like it was gonna happen since they didn't want a DRM, and the original devs wanted to keep it in for the English release.
More info on their blog incase anyone was interested http://www.carpefulgur.com/drakblog/?p=17 |

I heard Fortune Summoners was supposed to be out by now but haven't seen anything on Steam. Do you have any new info on what's going on? I hope they haven't stopped working on it.

Three months old and all, but darnit, I'm sure people are still looking for information.
On their official forums, they're saying they're planning on getting the fortune summoners demo out by January 5th. Dunno how soon after that they're releasing the full game, though. |
