Located in Orange County, California, it was formed in 2017. {{asof|October 2018}}, the company has licensed four visual novels and two light novels for release on the Steam platform.HistorySol Press was founded in February 2017 by Michael Valdez, who was unhappy with the slow translation processes and products of other video game localization companies.[1] For the company's titles, Valdez emphasized the importance of not charging players for patches as he believed it was unnecessary and an unpopular business tactic. Although Sol Press-licensed visual novels are censored when released on Steam, free patches to receive adult content in the original games are downloadable on external websites.[1][2] In September 2017, Sol Press created a Kickstarter fundraiser to support the localization of the Haikuo Soft visual novel/eroge Sakura Sakura.[3] Despite Sakura Sakura{{'s}} age and obscurity, Sol Press elected to pick up the game following positive feedback from the staff.[1] It was released three months later on Steam.[4] A second Haikuo Soft visual novel, Yotsunoha, saw a Western release on July 27, 2018.[7] Joined by MiKandi Japan, another campaign was launched on December 1, 2017 to fund the Laplacian VN Newton and the Apple Tree.[5] After just three days, it had already reached its goal of $31,200.[6] It was released on August 15.[7] Later in the year, Tears for an Unknown Sky was localized and released on September 14.[11] In April 2018, it began expansion into licensing light novels with the books Strongest Gamer – Let's Play in Another World and Battle Divas – The Incorruptible Battle Blossom Princess. The two were digitally released on April 30.[8] At Kumoricon 2018 in Oregon, Sol Press announced the creation of Project Hyourin, a digital distribution client for works licensed by the company. It also formed an alliance with Japanese game publisher Entergram to release visual novels on consoles in North America.[9] Published worksVisual novels
