We reported exactly a year ago today that Sei Shoujo (Erogamescape), the legendary artist and scenario writer behind Bible Black, Discipline, and Cleavage (among others), was working on a new game for the Skunkworks brand entitled “Starless”. The game was originally given a release window of summer 2007 (which has obviously passed), but thanks to an update at the Skunkworks site Starless has been given a revised date of spring 2008! This alone would not necessarily indicate that Sei Shoujo was still alive and kicking, but HD has it on good authority (secondhand from the president of Will) that work on the game is in fact proceeding. If this news is any indication, his nearly three year absence from the eroge world should soon be coming to an end – we’ll be watching closely for further confirmation. (no more)
OH SHI-
Man, I haven’t seen anything new from this guy in a long time; has he done anything else besides eroge? Artbooks?
There was the Cleavage Artbook that came out in October of ’05, but he hasn’t produced anything officially since. I believe he may have contributed to some doujinshi, but I’m not sure; I’m not aware of anything he’s produced since his last blog entry on August 10th, 2006.
Thanks Shingo.
Figures. I thought I was just poorly informed about his works, but it seems like he indeed disappeared for a while.
It’s nice to see he is still working in the eroge world! We have to thank his drawing skills that derived in some of the greatest ero OAV of all time :) (and maybe games too, but never played any till the end)
