Artmove (QuinRose) went bankrupt

Most people have probably heard this already, but just in case some haven't I thought I'd spread the word.

Artmove went bankrupt.

They are the game company responsible for the QuinRose otome game brand name which is probably best known for their Continent series and Alice series. I think their Cinderella series was pretty popular too out of the newer games.

Here are a couple articles that go into a little more detail.

So...I guess this is old news by now, but anyway. I was shocked, honestly and I keep wondering why, since the Alice series has so many fans out there.

I have an update that people might want to know about.

Satsuki Kou, who formerly worked as the director and a scenario writer for QuinRose, is setting up her own personal site (I know that name was also used as a pseudonym by many screen writers so I'm not sure what it means that "Satsuki Kou" has a personal site now).

The new site is called "Burlesque". The layout seems to imply some future business in otome games again? There is also a white rabbit in the logo so that could be eluding to the Alice series? Not sure, but it's an interesting development that I wanted to share.

Otomate or some other company bought it afterwards, am I right?
