That's not the only Inafune news we have tihs morning. Compile Heart has opened up a teaser site that seems to be Inafune related. A quick video on the site indicates that Inafune is now overall producer at Idea Factory Group, and a game is soon on the way. It's unclear if this is a teaser joke or truth.
