HD reader fake brought this to our attention this morning: Illusion, the (in)famously xenophobic maker of polygon-based eroge, is finally heeding the call of Commodore Perry and opening their work to the international market though official channels. This Heisei restoration comes in the form of Illusion sub-brand Digitown, which appeared out of nowhere recently with zero fanfare other than a cryptic banner on Illusion’s official site. They already have a product available for sale on their English website, though: Digital Girl Rin. This is not something I expect anyone would buy (she’s just a poseable 3D kisekae doll, similar to things Illusion has given away for free download in the past), nor is she officially rated to work with English operating systems, but the fact that they have an international storefront (albeit done in hilarious Engrish) seems to indicate plans for further expansion into foreign markets. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this project as it unfolds. (no more)

very intriguing. wonder what else will they put up for sale there. perhaps some illusion scale character figures *wink wink illusion*
Maybe if we’re lucky, we’ll get Artificial Girl 3 when it’s released. Probably not. >_>
Sexy Beach 5 in English? Then again, I don’t think anyone buys these types of games to improve their conversation skills in the first place. ;p
Well this is a nice move. It’s cool to get more games to the foreign market, I hope to see other companies following :D
This could have been the Coolest. Thing. Ever. Actually, I suppose it still could be. Definitely something to watch. – ZM
Okay, having visited the site, I nominate “Porgeng” to be the next Internet catchphrase. What the f*** is that supposed to mean, anyhow? – ZM
I saw that Illusion, my favorite 3d eroge maker had an english website. I said, “I’d love to support them”, but I saw the rather outrageous price of $25.99. For a cheap piece of software like this, that doesn’t support english windows, doesn’t inspire my wallet to move.
When they decide to give me Artificial Girl 3(forgot the japanese name) in english and uncensored(or not, since it’s easily hacked), then I’ll be willing to drop serious cash on them to help them along.
Hope there will be Oppai Slider 3 game for me. I think Oppai Slider 2 was one of the best eroge ever.
ridiculous… are they making fun of us?
