Re: RJ113419 - Dungeons and Prisoners
HELL NO!
Sadly, I do not think D&D is popular at all in Japan.
D&D related comments to the My Japanese blog was only about 2 or 3 people.
Well, I think using Bloggers stats page (just click on Stats in the sidebar) and looking at the traffic map would be a better guess of how popular you are in Japan. Mainly because I think that given FC2s dominance, I'm not sure how many Japanese people would have a Google account to comment with...
However, a few things that might be useful to increase popularity:
1) Start some forum/BBS threads for the game
2) Try to get some people to mention the game in other communities. For example, I think that the Eramaker/RyonaRPG communities would likely be quite interested in this game. Mentioning it to other H-game devs, specifically the ones who do recommend other games, might also be an idea.
3) Consider moving the Japanese blog from Google Blogger to FC2 - so you can take advantage of whatever 'find similar blogs' feature FC2 has. More Japanese people on FC2 means more people finding your blog.
Of course, I'm not aware of Japanese etiquette, so if any of these would be considered rude, don't do them. However, the primary thing to remember: get people to talk about your game. That's the important thing.
