I have multiple questions about Artplay. I apologize if they seem silly. Curious if @vuscor another person could answer them. 1. Artplay CEO:The old about page from 2015 for Artplay lists two people, one "Feng Gang" (馮 剛) as "Representative Director and President" (代表取締役社長), and Iga as "Representative Director Producer" (代表取締役プロデューサー). Other sources from 2015 list Feng Gang as CEO and Co-founder and include pictures of him. Example 1 Example 2. The current about page lists only Iga as "Representitive Director" ("代表取締役'). Who is currently the Artplay CEO? Is it still "Feng Gang"? Edit: Found the Linkedin profile of Jacob Feng (馮 剛)", which lists him as still the CEO. 2. Code S Plan:Old versions of the site, and news articles, lists a second Artplay game "Code S Plan". The Current version of the site does not list it. Is this game cancelled or put on hold? 3. Beijing Branch:What game is the Beijing branch working on? Were they working on "Code S Plan"? Are they working on Bloodstained? 4. Employees?This profile for Artplay suggests (if I'm reading it right) that Artplay has former Sega Art director as an employee, and possibly a SE (Square Enix?) employee as well. I'm curious who they are, and what skills they will bring to Bloodstained. 5. Employee numbers:How many employees are there at Artplay? Note this post is using Google Translate to navigate these Chinese and Japanese websites, so the translations might not be accurate.

Here are some facts based on the information I've gathered from Chinese game media, and some of my wild guesses.
FACTS: IGA and Mr. Feng co-founded the game company "ArtPlay", this company is based in Japan, but also has a Chinese branch based in Beijing. In law, "代表取締役" means this person is representative and responsible for this company, it's kinda different from CEO.
MY GUESS: I can safely assume IGA is at least one of the CEOs of the company here.
FACTS: Artplay had 5 people in Japanese branch, and 12 people in Chinese branch in 2016. The Chinese branch is focused on mobile game developing, Code S Plan is one of their project they're working on (with the help of Japanese branch), but the project status is unknown as for now since there's no media coverage on this project recently. On the other hand, Bloodstained has no relation with Chinese branch.
MY GUESS: Code S Plan is probably putting on hold since IGA is full power producing BS.

MY GUESS: I can safely assume IGA is at least one of the CEOs of the company here. I found Jacob Feng's Linkedin profile, which lists him still as the CEO. The Artplay website still lists Iga as Representative Director, so I don't think his role in the company has changed. I wasn't able to find a source for the number of employees. 5 Japanese employees would line up well with what we know. There's Iga, Iida, Mana, unnamed former Sega Employee, unnamed Square-Enix Employee, for 5 total. My guess is that they're assisting BS, probably making assets.
