Kairosoft confirms School of Pocket and The Game Dealer English translations
Japanese studio manages expectations
Yesterday we reported that Game Dev Story developer Kairosoft has released another resource management-sim on the Japanese App Store. School of Pocket, as Google Translate calls it, is largely the same as the studio's previous titles, but it lets you manage a school.
School of Pocket will be Kairosoft's fourth iOS management-sim, joining Game Dev Story, Hot Springs Story, and The Game Dealer (Waiwai! in Japanese). Of those, only Game Dev Story and Hot Springs Story are currently available outside Japan. Both earned impressive Pocket Gamer Silver Awards at review.
Kairosoft has just confirmed to Pocket Gamer that English language versions of School of Pocket and The Game Dealer are “scheduled”, though the release date “is undecided.”
It's unlikely that these games will deviate significantly from the dependable Kairosoft management formula, but if you've achieved all you can in the fields of game development and resort management they're worth looking out for later the year.
