Hi all, I'm not sure if you guys here know me now, but I'm EvoSpace, the founder of Beast's Lair, and the Moonlit World site which it was part of.
I'm formerly from Los Angeles, but I've moved to Japan 10 years ago, to pursue my career in the anime/game industry, hoping to work with Type-Moon one day.
Although the closest I've ever gotten was being part of the production of Fate/Extra CCC Lunatic Station 2013, I moved on to becoming the manager of MangaGamer.com, a localization company that works on a mix of adult games, while Type-Moon became mainstream with Fate/Grand Order.
While it is frustrating that Type-Moon won't let us localize their games, my company has been actively localizing top of the line games such as Higurashi and Rance.
And this year, we are trying something out new, to make our own game, hiring Itaru Hinoue who drew the art for CLANNAD, AIR, Little Busters!, etc. Although it won't be a visual art's or Type-Moon level game, I think it's a crazy landmark project for an American born fan to come this far.
And so we've set up a kickstarter for this project so you guys can help us make this happen!

Now although there are hundreds of visual novel kickstarter today, this is quite different in it's cause that it's not just a localization, but an ambitious project of the East and West uniting together to make something new from scratch.
I hope you can spread the word and make a pledge to be part of this memorable project!
Best,
-Koji
