Talk:Level-5 Comcept

Missing games?

The first game that Inafune announced after forming Comcept was Kaio: King of Pirates. Granted, we've not gotten much information on that recently, but its announcement predates that of Soul Sacrifice. Furthermore, while developed by Idea Factory, Sweet Fuse: At Your Side lists Comcept in its copyright information (see screenshots), and Keiji Inafune himself is a character in the game, so it appears they had something to do with that as well.

Mobile Games

Comcept has developed various mobile games that are missing from this list, including Balloon Hero and some games in the "OSSAN!" series. --198.72.11.1 (talk) 14:57, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Level 5 Comcept

It sounds like they're making one new company called "Level 5 Comcept", instead of having Level 5 and "Level 5 Comcept" as a subsidiary. The new kickstarter update says:

3. The “New Company” This is probably the biggest piece of news. As many of you may have heard, Akihiro Hino (LEVEL-5 CEO), and Keiji Inafune (comcept CEO) will be co-founding a new company “LEVEL5 comcept”.

Merger discussion

Per WP:CRYSTAL, I believe the Red Ash page was made too quickly. The Kickstarter campaign was announced, but it failed and the game never went anywhere. It appears like the game never entered into production. Keiji Inafune has given interviews after he joined Level 5, and he's never mentioned starting up the Red Ash project. There's zero evidence that the game will ever come out, as there's been no news since the campaign failed, no confirmation it's being worked on, and no release date. As such, I feel the game would be better off as a sub-heading in the L5 Comcept page. Harizotoh9 (talk) 15:18, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Oppose I feel that this article is sufficient enough to be standalone from the Level-5 Comcept page. Granted, there's not much else to say about this article, but I do not believe that merging it with a corporation article is beneficial at all. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 20:55, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

The Red Ash page is not a page on an actual game, rather a failed kickstarter campaign. There's no room for improvement or expansion, since the game never entered production. What you saw in the kickstarter campaign and demo is literally all the work that's ever been done on Red Ash. If someone decides to pick up production and actually release it, a page would make sense. Right now, the Red Ash page is pretty small relatively, and it'll never expand and would fit nicely as a paragraph or two in the Level 5 comcept page. Harizotoh9 (talk) 22:19, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

• Support The Red Ash article fails WP:SUSTAINED - after the Kickstarter failed, coverage mostly went dark and the game died with a whimper. It hardly ever got past the drawing board and was pretty much always just a deluded pipe dream of a game._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 12:19, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

  Concur @Zxcvbnm: I should have done Kaio: King of Pirates at the same time since it's basically the same situation. Harizotoh9 (talk) 21:14, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Merger discussion: Kaio: King of Pirates

Same reasons as with Red Ash, both are cancelled Comcept Games that never got off the ground. For Kaio all we have is the announcement stories, then a few stories of the cancellation. We know nothing about the development, and as it never came out there will never be new stories about it. It's a pretty short article and should be merged into here.

@Harizotoh9: Support Per nom. Wow, Inafune really cranks out those hits, huh. Joking aside, it seems like it will be a permastub if not merged. As far as cancelled games go, it does not appear particularly notable._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 06:05, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

@Zxcvbnm:Yes, it's even less notable than Red Ash was. We only had the announcement and cancellation for Kaio. And in fact it's next to impossible to get a merger dsicussion going for the game since so few people care about it. 15:01, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Just go ahead. No one's going to talk about it at this point anyway.2606:6000:60CC:C900:EDE1:B883:59CD:DBD7 (talk) 04:38, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
