Bonus content for Kickstarter backers!

Hi everyone,

As we approach the final 24 hours of our Archipel Log campaign, we thought of creating an original piece of content, just to say thank you to our backers. All backers should have already received a link to a map of the locations we have visited together with Japanese creators over the years through our video work.

We thought our long-time subscribers will enjoy navigating through the 100+ locations that we gathered on the map. For more details, please have a look at our latest Kickstarter update: www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcpl/archipel-log/

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

We're happy to announce that our first editorial project, Archipel Log, has reached its funding goal! We would like to thank everyone who helped support us throughout this campaign.

As you know, our channel has been fully self-funded, it is also projects such as this one that help us keep going in creating content.

We have slightly more than 48 hours left until the end - while we do not have any stretch goals for the campaign, we plan for this first edition to be solely available through Kickstarter, so we hope people who are still hesitant will consider getting their hands on a copy!

Hi everyone,

Today we're reaching the halfway point of our Kickstarter (www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcpl/archipel-log/) campaign for Archipel Log. We believe we are steadily getting closer to our goal as we are approaching the 80% mark.

Towards the completion of the project, we finished securing our partners (design, translation, proofreading, printing) to make sure everything goes as planned. It's an exciting process and we are truly looking forward these remaining two weeks.

For the time being, we only plan on releasing Archipel Log through Kickstarter (with some "Late Pledges" enabled for some who miss the campaign through July), but once these are done there won't be any other way to purchase the book.

Meanwhile, we're still active in our video work, as announced the other day we have several pieces of content in the works coming up on the channel in the following weeks.

We thank everyone for their support so far, and hope that people who remain hesitant will decide to join us on this journey.

Cheers,
- the Archipel team

Hi everyone,

In case you missed it, we launched Archipel Log, our first editorial print project - an original guidebook introducing places behind the inspiration and memories of Japanese artists.

It channels the years spent following creators through Archipel, this time in editorial form. For this first edition, we’ll discover locations in Tokyo and its direct vicinity though the lens of animation artists Mai Yoneyama and Ryu Okubo, from a sand beach on the seaside to a coffee shop in the urban jungle of Shibuya, or a walk through the narrow alleys of a typical Japanese yokochō.

We’re bringing this project to life through Kickstarter, we hope you’ll consider spreading the word and supporting the project!

For more details, please make sure to check out our campaign page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcpl/archipel-log

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

We have released "Memories of Kenji Eno", our documentary commemorating the 10th anniversary since Kenji Eno's sudden passing. A creator always ahead of his time, his disruptive methods made him a fan favorite and gave birth to unique titles, such as "D", "Enemy Zero", "Real Sound" or "D2".

His family, colleagues and friends reminisce on this brilliant mind of Japan's game industry. Thanks to Hideo Kojima, Fumito Ueda, Pierre Taki, Tadanobu Asano, Kazutoshi Iida, Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Asako Noguchi, Hideto Yamada, Hiroko Minamoto, Kenichi Nishi, Yutaka Saito and Yuka Iino for their participation and their memories.

Thanks everyone for your continued support and we wish you all happy holidays!

Hi everyone,
We have plenty in the pipe for Archipel, with more detailed announcements coming from us very soon.

Meanwhile, we invite you to have a look at the ‪@BokehGameStudio‬ channel, whom we've been giving a hand for their video content. You'll find dev diaries for their upcoming game Slitterhead, in addition to Golden Hour, a series of talks between Keiichiro Toyama and fellow creators.

The latest video is a conversation with Fumihiko Yasuda (Nioh series) & Makoto Shibata (Fatal Frame series); balancing between the genres of action and horror.

Thank you and do not hesitate to subscribe!
