We’ll be posting a new Demonbane screenshot to Twitter every weekday from now until the master is ready for replication (and possibly beyond), so keep an eye over there for all the latest. Additionally, we’ll be giving away a free copy of Demonbane (download version) to a randomly selected Twitter follower every Friday in February as thanks for checking us out.*

News on the progress of Demonbane, My Girlfriend is the President, Aselia the Eternal and more will be posted regularly to our Twitter account, as well as updates to the games’ respective sites. You can see currently active threads on these games on our forums, as well. Is there anything you’d like to see from us in terms of news we can pass on on Twitter? Let us know, either here or there!

*The fine print: We will choose a follower randomly on Feburary 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th from among all current followers listed at the time of selection. Twitter accounts representing organizations, those originating in Japan, and individuals under the age of 18 are not eligible for this promotion. We will notify the winner via direct message on Twitter and provide 24 hours for a reply verifying acceptance of the prize and granting permission to announce you as the winner. If we don’t receive a reply, an alternate winner will be randomly selected. Prizes will be delivered when the game is released. These rules are subject to amendment should circumstances require a change.

From now until the end of December, when you buy two games from JAST USA, you’ll receive a copy of G-Collections’ winter-themed romantic comedy Snow Sakura for free! If you already have Snow Sakura all is not lost, be sure to see below:

Details: upon ordering two or more games from JAST USA, until December 31st a copy of Snow Sakura will be added to your order (it may not appear on the original online invoice when the order is initially placed). The version (download or package) will match that of the majority of the games in the purchase. If you already own Snow Sakura, we have implemented an alternative option of a $15 store coupon in place of a free copy of the game, which can be used for any subsequent purchase at JAST USA (if you indicate that you own the game already we’ll get the coupon to you after your order has been processed). This promotion applies to the first eligible order made in December 2009 and is valid for one (1) order per customer.

Our new site update and this promotion are just the beginning of the holiday good cheer coming to you from JAST USA! As we’ve been hinting in various places, a project is about to be completed that we’ve been working on for months and we think will be really exciting for a whole lot of our customers. We’ll have news on all our ongoing game projects as well, with updates from Cat Girl Alliance, Demonbane, and even Lightning Warrior Raidy 2!

For now, check out the new layout and leave us a comment if you like what you see – and don’t forget that this is the best time to pick up your free copy of Snow Sakura, in time for the holidays!

Note that while character profiles are not currently implemented in the game product entries, we’ll be adding them regularly on a daily basis until all the games are covered.

Five plus ten equals zero?

As part of our promotional shop launch campaign, we’re kicking off a great new shipping deal that we’re calling 5 + 10 = 0.

This deal extends to our international customers: shipping starts at $7.5 USD for one, $15 for two, and a flat $10 USD for all purchases of three or more packaged titles. A small way to express our gratitude for your continued support of bishoujo games in English – stay tuned for more great promotional deals in the future!

Moero Downhill Night goes Golden Master!

The conventions may be over but we’re not through with our work on new brand new and exciting projects, and we’re proud to announce today that along with the grand opening of the new JAST USA shop, the high octane ‘drifting’ themed romance Moero Downhill Night has been completed and sent to the printers for replication. Join Daichi in his quest for love and high speed turns in the mountains of Japan, in a game packed with full frame 3D animated racing and pulse pounding action, both on the road and in the bedroom with the beautiful Michi and the game’s other heroines! Preorders are still open for a limited time – order now to get your copy when the game is released!

More information and an official website for Moero Downhill Night will be coming soon – note that unlike most other games in the Peach Princess collection, Moero Downhill Night requires at least 32 MB of video RAM to run.
