So, if you would recomend any of the Idolmaster games, which one do you think could be the most interesting in terms of design?, or the one that is most enjoyable to play?, i'd like to check them out, if i can't get a translated version, i guess i'll have to just leave the story out ot the picture, tho it looks like story is kind of a big part of these games (?). I'm interested in checking some of the games and get a better understanding of how they make their game design work, just to try to figure out if it could be possible to use similar ideas and make it work over seas.

I know Idolmaster is kind of big in Japan, but for what i've seen, i completely get why major publishers are shying away from getting these games into the western market, not only the genres they mix are not particulary popular here, the themes and story are completely alien for most of the public over here.īut given how popular this franchise is, i was kind of surprised to not find any fan projects trying to translate or emulate properly the games for a more mainstream audience. I'm an animation and game development student, and recently i've come across a gaming genere that doesn't seem to be reciving much love from triple A and western audiences overall, that is raising sim games, which are apparently much more loved in Japan.Īnyways i was going trhough some of the games of this genre i played back in the day and remembered this one game i got when i was into otaku culture for the PSP, that was partially translated and was from Idolmaster, and thought, hey, this was kind of interesting, it mixed a couple of game genres into one game and could have some potential.
