Hi everyone.
We’ve got lots of news for you this week, but first of all I wanted to give you an update on where we are with the fix for Devil Survivor Overclocked.* I can now confirm that after several conversations with Nintendo we have made really good progress and we are several steps closer to providing a digital solution. Atlus have been heavily involved with these communications and are looking forward to sorting these issues. When this is completed we’ll hopefully be able to give you all a clearer idea of when you can expect the fix to come. Once again we realise that many of you are understandably frustrated by these problems and we would like to reassure you that both we and Atlus are working as quickly as possible to resolve these issues.
In other news I’m pleased to report that having been online for just over a week now the Agarest: Generations of War Greenlight campaign is going very well. In fact we entered into the top 100 Greenlight games in the first weekend. We’d like to thank all of you who have supported this project either by voting for us or by talking about it with others. We really couldn’t do this without you.
If you haven’t already voted for Agarest on Greenlight and would like to support us in our quest to bring more JRPGs to PC then you can vote over on the Agarest Greenlight page, which can be found here.
In other Agarest news, I can now reveal that due to popular demand we will be releasing a selection of 30 Agarest: Generations of War 2 Avatars onto PSN on the 17th April, each priced at just €0.49/£0.40.
Finally in Maken Shao news I’ve been informed that Midas have now managed to make Maken Shao available on the following PSN Stores:
Denmark, Finland, Norway, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Ukraine
At last, Maken fans in these countries can now join gamers in the rest of Europe in enjoying this classic PS2 game.
That’s all for now. Please remember to vote for Agarest on Greenlight here. I’ll be back next week with more news from Ghostlight. Until then you can follow Ghostlight on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight. You can also follow me on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.
*Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked Known Issues
- The game may freeze when you summon demons in battle. If you experience this, please leave the game running for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, after which the game will continue.
- There is a very infrequent hang which may occur when using the “Auction House”. We therefore recommend saving your game prior to using this feature.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused and - of course - realise that the solutions above are far from ideal. We are currently working towards a fix, so please keep an eye our blog and social media for more updates.

Hi everyone. Some of you may remember when we spoke previously about bringing console JRPGs to PC and quite a few people seemed quite interested in the idea :). Well I can now reveal that our first PC title will be a port of Agarest: Generations of War which has just gone up on the Steam Greenlight service where you can vote for it here.
The port itself will be based on the North American Xbox 360 version and will feature Aksys’ excellent translation. In addition to that we are looking to include support for both gamepad and mouse and keyboard and Steam achievements.
The port itself will be handled by our good friends at Laughing Jackal who are already hard at work on it.
Agarest: Generations of War itself is a turn-based Strategy Role-Playing Game (SRPG) in which the player guides a family of heroes through five generations. At the end of each generation the player will choose a girl for their hero to marry, but only those who the hero has developed a relationship with can be selected. The Agarest story is an epic fantasy spanning multiple generations, but with a lot of humour and frequent shifts of tone from the more serious to funnier moments.
More information on the game can be found on its Greenlight page here.
I would like to reassure you that this will in no way delay work on the Devil Survivor Overclocked fix* of which we are hoping to have more news for you soon.
