MangaGamer has released details about the upcoming release of the West-First Japanese Visual Novel, Space Live. Circus, makers of Da Capo and Dal Segno series approached MangaGamer about developing a product with the Western audience in mind after seeing their title have booming sales here. This is how Space live came to be. The game is a parody on internet browsers and idol competitions, so this should be one humorous ride.

Here is more about the game straight from the press release:

Space Live
Over 200 years in the future, humanity has abandoned reality and chosen to upload themselves into Net Space, a digital, interconnected world, divided into several factions surrounding different idols who compete every four years to win followers to their side.There’s Macro Space‘s Ai E, a hardworking, easily flustered girl trying to regain her lost position; Goggle Space‘s G Chrome, a logical competitor using her wealth and data troves in a bid to secure the lead; Mosaic Space‘s Higitsune, a haughty, elusive idol enjoying the competition itself; Ai Space‘s Sarifa, an eloquent fashionista willing to bet it all; and Luna Space‘s Tsukikage, a minor idol hoping to finally gain some recognition.
Space Live – Advent of the Net Idols will release on September 29th on MangaGamer and Steam for a price of $9.99 and has a 15+ age rating.  You can pre-order the game over on MangaGamer’s site and get a 10% discount.

Steve started with oprainfall not long after the campaign moved from the IGN forums to Facebook. Ever since, he has been fighting to give all non-mainstream RPGs a fair voice. As the site admin, he will continue to do this and even show there is value in what some would deem "pure ecchi." He loves niche games and anime more than anything... well, except maybe Neptune.
