Hanako Games, developers of titles such as Black Closet and Long Live the Queen, is pleased to announce the upcoming publication of a new visual novel: A Little Lily Princess.

Developed under the Hanabira label, this is a light yuri adaptation of the classic British novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, which has previously been adapted into Hollywood movies and even an anime series: A Little Princess Sara.

Sara Crewe is the young and pampered daughter of a wealthy British officer stationed in India. As was traditional for her class and time period, she is sent back alone to England to attend boarding school, arriving at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Girls. There she must learn English customs to fit in and make friends with her classmates. Sara relies on her love of books and fairy tales to give her strength and help her deal with the injustices she encounters. But when tragedy strikes, will beautiful dreams and the love of her friends be enough to see her through?

This is a yuri game, focusing on the loving relationships between girls. "It's remarkable how much of this content exists in the original text," says Georgina Bensley, director of Hanako Games. "Modern adaptations usually tone it down, removing all the kissing and hugging and declarations of love. We're simply pushing the balance in the opposite direction, allowing romantic friendships to blossom into romance." 

A Little Lily Princess features six possible relationships for Sara, ranging from a more familial bond to passionate kisses and promises. The player must manage Sara's schedule and build her resources in order to unlock new scenes with all the available characters. All scenes remain age-appropriate for the young teenage students of Miss Minchin's.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands - April 5, 2016 - Daum Games today announced that Black Desert Online has sold 400.000 copies in its first month on the European and North American markets. Black Desert Online is expected to become one of Korea's most successful games in the West as it is drawing exceptionally favorable early responses with its new player base.

"Considering the upward trend, I expect that the game will achieve over one million sales this year. What’s impressive is these figures far exceed those in the domestic market," Daum Games Europe CEO Min Kim said in an interview in Seoul, last Wednesday.

Daum Games attributes much of the success to adopting a premium business model for Western audiences as opposed to the free-to-play model used in Korea. After purchasing the game once, players have access to all content updates for free as they become available. Daum Games is planning to catch up on the Korean service by delivering near-monthly content updates for European and North American players to enjoy.

Furthermore, Black Desert Online’s cash shop is also performing extremely well. "A game with a buy-to-play business model normally has a much lower conversion rate for paid in-game items compared to free-to-play games," explains Kim. "But Black Desert Online is recording a much higher pay ratio than the average 11 percent normally seen in free-to-play games."

Black Desert Online now boasts an average of 100.000 concurrent users.

Daum Games Europe B.V. is a leading online games publisher. Founded in 2015, Daum Games is currently focussed on bringing the highly anticipated MMORPG Black Desert Online to North American and European markets. Daum Games Europe is headquartered in Amstelveen, The Netherlands.
