Chantelise is apparently older than Recettear and not nearly as good of a game (and already available localized by fans). I'm loving Recettear but will definitely wait for impressions and likely a sale for Chantelise.
Actually, it was an official translation from a company in France. To be quite honest, the non-French options were very poor. That was one of the impetuses for us releasing the game - we wanted to do it justice in English.
As for the game's quality, I still think it's very good, it just isn't as
robust as some other games are. It is, in some ways, obvious that it is one of EGS' earlier efforts.

Pretty sure SpaceDrake said they plan on doing demos for all their games because of how well that worked out for Recettear.
Demos now, demos forever. We'll always have demos out for the games we self-publish.

Tell me that Fortune Summoners is a Metroidvania, please please please?
Mmmmm... sorta. If you count games like Zelda II and the original Ys III (Wanderers From Ys) as "early Metroidvanias", then it is; the game is basically a branch of that evolution of ARPGs, as opposed to the pure "find upgrades, no levels" approach to Metroid. There's a few areas where you gain abilities based on plot, but most are based on level or are inherent from the start. It's more about the innate abilities of your party members, and later on using them in concert to do stuff.
It's really,
really good. I can't wait to get the demo out there.
