Hi everyone,
I’m really excited to finally be able to reveal Ghostlight’s next project… I’m delighted to say that we will be working with FURYU Corporation on the conversion and publication of their highly-regarded Japanese tactical RPG, Lost Dimension, on PC later this year!
Developed by Lancarse, creators of a number of highly acclaimed JRPGs, and published by FURYU Corporation in Japan, Atlus in North America and Nippon Ichi in Europe on PlayStation 3 and Vita in 2014-15, this one truly is a corker!
About
You may already know that the team behind Lost Dimension have an incredibly impressive pedigree. The game’s intriguing storyline was written by Jun Kumagai, the Pillar’s intelligent floor designs were headed up by Takeshi Oga, while the character designs were provided by Yuu Yamashita and Makoto Tsuchibayashi.
Taking place in the near-future with the world in ruin, a terrorist mastermind known only as ‘The End’, threatens to unleash an apocalyptic attack and destroy all humanity. To combat this threat, a Special Forces group comprised of eleven young psychics with incredible superhuman abilities, is tasked with pursuing The End to the summit of a sky-scraping tower which has dramatically appeared on the city skyline from out of nowhere. Can the team find and eliminate The End and avoid the impending Armageddon he has set in motion?
Key Features
Take on the enemy across tactically created environments in an amazingly strategic turn-based battle system!
Create bonds with your teammates and use your psychic talent of ‘vision’ to rifle through their minds and find the traitors!
Every person counts in battle as you place teammates to benefit and shield each other and manage their ‘Defers’ and ‘Berserk’ modes!
Test your investigation and deduction skills by finding the traitor on each floor of the towering Pillar. Traitors are randomly determined, so no two playthroughs are the same!
With Lost Dimension, FURYU Corporation have created an incredible JRPG that manages to feel unique, yet strangely reminiscent of some of my favourite Japanese games
The PC version will support multiple screen resolutions, mouse/keyboard and controller support, Steam Achievements and cloud saving. It will also feature the original high quality localisation from Atlus, plus we will be implementing higher resolution artwork in a number of areas in-game. In addition to this, we are also considering offering a special Digital Collector’s Edition, although I can’t promise anything on that front until we’ve worked through all the available game resources
I’m really looking forward to getting this game on to PC and you can be sure that here at Ghostlight we’ll do our best to improve on the technical specs of the original game and bring you the best version of Lost Dimension that we possibly can. I hope you’re as excited as I am to be sharing this excellent JRPG with the PC-gaming community. Lost Dimension will be released on Steam in 2017, so remember to keep an eye on our blog and social media pages for more news and updates
We started the Lost Dimension closed beta slightly over a month ago and once again our group of beta testers have been a massive help to us. We're currently working on fixing the very few remaining bugs, so a huge thank you goes out to everyone who has helped us along the way. We really do appreciate it . At the moment we're waiting for feedback from a middleware supplier who is kindly updating their software in order to help us solve a few of the remaining issues as we move the game from console to PC. Once we have the updated middleware, it will fix most of the lingering issues and at that point we will be very close to release, so please keep your eyes peeled for more information on a release date for Lost Dimension soon.
We haven't been idle while waiting for this new version of the middleware though. Not only have we integrated higher res artwork than the original console version, but we very recently added the ability to assign multiple skill points at once. While handy during your first playthrough, this is a real lifesaver when starting a New Game +.
