You can read Light-Williams’ statement on Andrew Dice below:

Andrew Dice was best known for working on Japanese games, in particular indie doujin titles. Carpe Fulgur’s first project is Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale, a title about both running an item shop and dungeon diving for merchandise to sell there. That released in September 2010. The company’s follow-ups included worldwide releases of doujin games Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters, Fortune Summoners, and This Starry Midnight We Make. More recently, Dice worked as a translator on Bandai Namco’s Super Robot Wars 30 and as an editor on Falcom and NIS America’s Trails Through Daybreak. One of the last highlighted posts on social media from Dice highlighted the fact that Recettear HD Edition was in development.

As for games Carpe Fulgur worked on, Light-Williams stated all publishing rights will return to their developers. On Steam, the aforementioned four titles still show the company as the publisher. Light-Williams specifically said, “As written in our contracts I will be remitting rights to our translations of indie games we published to the developers who will hopefully be able to sell them on Steam for everyone to have. Thank you all for everything. This will be my last post on this account and as part of Carpe Fulgur. I wish you all the best and I hope you remember us fondly.”
