If a relationship between you and other people or entities begins then that’s wonderful. It is still going to require that you brush each other’s hair and put each other in-check (no matter how good you feel about what’s going-on). You will find yourself wounded and emotional if you don’t secure these notions right off the bat. To help ensure this:
“Be prepared to Wine and Dine.”
A courtship of any kind requires a bit of this, especially in the start. Your duty isn’t to smother but rather, caress the nature of what you desire and what the other’s involved desire.
If they don’t want it…too bad…..

One of the many things that annoy us here at Kuneo Koei – are people that call and or email with an intention but no follow-up (or follow-through). We are talking about people that act like they want to get to know us and then fall off the face f the Earth and or the individuals, groups, and organizations that can’t seem to follow-through with their portions of what they desire.
We have no sympathy for either case.
The next bit of opinion is simple and to the point in our view (so don’t agree if you feel otherwise).
“Get to know the individuals, groups, or organizations that you want to do business with. Not necessarily a full-blown relationship but definitely know what you and they are talking about.”
If it sounds simple then that’s probably because it is. But many complicate this.

We’ve been asked about making products more attractable and how to have brands stand as ‘unique’ amongst others. Firstly, these are all the wrong questions. You don’t need to be more attractable and you probably will never be ‘unique’ if there is an abundance of (A) Other People and (B) Other Teams who are doing similar projects to your own.
The world is huge but definitely smaller because of the internet. And because so many tools are now consumer-grade when it comes to developing books, movies, music, and video-games, everyone and anyone is either jumping on the band-wagon to (A) make it commercially or (B) is doing well and happy to remain a hobbyist (i.e. You-Tube sensations).
Accept the fact that even the You-Tube sensations spending “no marketing dollars” can conquer you and the next bit may save your life (or at least your perspective) someday:
“Don’t try to grab everyone. Focus on those individuals, groups, and organizations that seem to/have vested interests in what you produce or license.”
It is easy to get caught-up on making-it-big or finding niche-success; you’ll likely find yourself exhausted or drained from over-researching and over-implementing products and services to better your cause. But this is bad. Rather, you should understand that a general-rule of commercial viability is to “know where not to waste your time”.
None of this applies to hobbyist that spend no marketing dollars as they have very little to lose and very much to gain equally.

We get a good amount of emails here at Kuneo Koei. They range from general questions about our business to advice and critique requests. This is okay and natural to a degree but the truth is, it isn’t our place to say ‘yeah’ or ‘nay’ to any person or entity trying to place themselves within the developer, publisher, or entertainment realms.
See our follow-ups over the next few days. If we say anything that helps you learn or think about something differently then that’s great.
If not then that’s cool too…

“IN5″ Has Arrived…
We are proud to announce the arrival of “IN5” by Sekrett Scilensce – Offered with its companion side-B song “Whose Watching?”, “IN5” explores an underworld where the world of Rap, Hip-Hop, and Pop clash (by the rights of men poor and the powerful elites who vow to own all or nothing).
Due to be reviewed soon, the music jam-packs many influences ranging the sounds of music electronic, blues, and heavy-metal, all mixed and mashed to bring you a production unlike any heard (both past and present).
Though news is still trickling out, take your sneak-peak and own it now:

Mary Margaret Park Photography and Artwork News
Mary Margaret Park Photography Sourcing Update
The following press-release contains information regarding Mary Margaret Park’s image/art sourcing for “Devil’z Hide: Rising”, the next installment of her psychological/survival horror series (for digital readers and general PDF download).
For immediate release:
Mary Margaret Park Photography For “Devil’z Hide: Rising” Series To Be Sourced To Local Missouri Studios Alongside Digital Distribution Preparations
“The Rapman’s Attire” By Sekrett Scilensce To Include Dedicated St. Louis Styled Crossover Soul Hop Song
Saint Charles, MO (Kuneo Koei/MMP Publishing) February 28th, 2010 – Photography for the Mary Margaret Park psychological/survival horror series installment “Devil’z Hide: Rising” will be sourced to local Missouri photo-artists interested in developing imagery akin to depictions seen in films like that of David Lynch or in video-games such as the first and second Silent Hill releases.
Taking readers on a journey where the mind’s eye is always blind, the Devil’z Hide series is being prepared for distribution to digital networks for devices such as the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle.
“We’re excited to bring the [Devil’z Hide] series into the digital realm,” Author and Poet Mary Margaret Park explained. “We discussed making the new installments directly available via the main websites, but since we’ve had excellent reception to the shorts and related OST releases, putting our content on digital readers seemed natural.”
With devices such as the Archos and iPad fairing only moderately with audiences – (according to sources cited such as WebProNews.com) – the Devil’z Hide development team remains optimistic about venturing into this fledgling market.
As the digital reader market matures, it’s hoped to make way for enhanced technologies with lower price-points.
“We think it is only a matter of time before you’ll get the hybrid iPhone, iPod, Kindle device,” Composer and Producer Sekrett Scilensce explained. “The idea that we’ll be offering non DRM PDFs alongside popular EPUB files compliments our production effort, offering higher quality and value with ease of delivery.”
In a related release note, Sekrett Scilensce has co-developed a song titled “In Saint Louis” along with Mary Margaret Park for the album “The Rapman’s Attire”, to be released as the last single from the EP’s production schedule.
In their closing statement, the producers mentioned, “We’d like to have Ryan Callahan of Jupiter Studios perform video production for [The Rapman’s Attire]; he lives in the St. Louis area and has a fine experimentalist quality in his demos. We’ve not engaged Herr Callahan at this time.”
Extended details on the development and publishing of these titles are available at the following websites:
MMP Publishing (Creative Writing Development and Publishing)
Sekrett Scilensce Associates (Music Entertainment Development and Publishing)
Kuneo Koei (Development and Publishing of Entertainment Arts)

Sekrett Scilensce coming back soon…
We are proud to announce that “IN5” will be offered here at Kuneo Koei first – While Sekrett Scilensce’s schedule has been altered due to illness, he has pushed for the release of “IN5” to commence without back-stepping. Similarly, he has as well assured us that the March scheduled release “Whose Watching” will be made available along with “IN5”, giving everyone a fair shot at not missing out on either release via his account.
Following digital schedules are to begin cycling with the release of both singles with the former schedule getting back to place in April.
More details will become available as we move into Monday.

Bringing In 2010!!!!
Firstly, no flying monkeys were harmed during the creation of this website (as far as we know) – Secondly, welcome back; it’s been a while!!!
We are pleased to be back in action and we’re even more excited to share all of the awesome and exciting things coming our ways.
Before we start posting all the new news and happenings, we are going to take these next few hours to hopefully sort out the last of the final few kinks on the website so we can all hop along merrily (did you hear a Disney styled Flute just then? Well, our Flute sounds more like Judas Priest).
In the meantime, stay tuned because we’ll start rolling out as soon as we get all the details we need. As well, don’t worry, nothing has changed game-plan wise from the last time we updated you (all the creative-writing and music-entertainment projects are well underway and coming as discussed).
Well…maybe a few things have changed (but they’re small i.e. artwork development, things like that) – But everything else is A-Okay.
We’ll post again shortly.

So What’s Up?
We’re finishing up the last of our improvements and you know what? It is exhausting! Thankfully however, Pepsi has issued a throwback edition to their soft-drink and, green tea lattes are forever CRUNK – that said, we have tons of exciting excellent news to tell you about sooner than you’d expect; but before all of that (of course), we have to finish these other things…otherwise…..we have nothing.
That’s one of the things that can’t be changed (no matter how technologically advanced the world gets). You can’t just think it (you have to step up and set it through).
Inspirational music-cue anyone…?
(Perhaps the Top-Gun Anthem if nothing else) *
