It would appear that the North American Working Designs has sung its last dragon song. After many years of awesome anime inspired RPGs such as the Lunar series, Working Designs appears to have announced that it can no longer continue with the strenuous projects they\'ve been putting out (localizing). With this and the RPGamer article, it seems that Working Designs just can\'t get enough back or put out enough to meet demands nowadays, and therefore, the North American company is kaputs (I think it was just the North American division anyways). At any rate, it will be missed, or at least by me.

Just to elaborate, Working Designs produces games series such as Lunar, Growlanser, Goemon, and Arc the Lad.

Something important to note is that they weren\'t actually making games: they were making localizations of Japanese-only titles for the English-speaking markets. I don\'t happen to own any of their releases, but they were well-known for releasing some extremely nice deluxe packages.

Well, I believe that they tanked because stuff like Goemon was \"too japanese\". At least the companies that make the actual games are still in business, though.

Yea, it\'s sad. I always wanted to get \"Arc the Lad\" but it was always so expensive even in used. This will just make the price go up even more... ^^;
