Chieftain (franchise)

Chieftain is an European franchise created by Terminal Voltage studio under license of Yusup Dalmaz in 2004 and based on the original "Chip-chan Kick!" video game and audio novel series by Hirohiko Yanagi.
==Brand history==
As a fork of "Chip-chan Kick!" series, Chieftain is the European-only series of audio novels starring Youska Chieftain and her sister Seika Chaplygina.
Starting from Yusup Dalmaz's took over Cybertech Custom and merging it with MetroVG, all audio novels including Dark Renovation and The Showdown were released outside Japan under the Chieftain: The Daughter of the Fire, Chieftain Sequel: The Battle for Crankgatton and Chieftain: The Showdown. 
===Cancelled projects===
====Chip-chan Kick video game official international release====
The game should be released outside Japan under the "Chieftain of the Twin-Sixes" name and exclusively for SuperGrafx and PlayStation, but due of the takedown of Cybertech Custom and taking it over into MetroVG all money wasted to movement of the company to the new workplace and so the project was cancelled. 
====The rogue one: Chieftain Declassified====
The last part of the Chieftain audio novel series should be released after the release of The Showdown.
Formerly known as Youska Chieftain, Rogue probably was an agent worked on CIA and Interpol. After the events of The Showdown Yōsuka left the city because all she lost all her family and friends. She changed her name and personality to fight Malice Cheng. She quits CIA and gone to San Fran to find Malice herself. And she still does her things undercover.
The artist of The Rogue One novel is Urushihara Satoshi, unlike the artists Hirohiko Yanagi and Archie Brinn who created the arts for previous audio novels and video game. That's why The Rogue One is fully different character.
The Rogue One audio novel should be released as the last one in the audio novel cycle, but it was officially cancelled by Yusup Dalmaz and Archibald Brinn who owned the Chieftain franchise due to the worst plot in the entire franchise. At the ending of this audio novel Youska should kill her opposite, Malice Cheng, and then commit a suicide, so Yusup Dalmaz considered this project as a possibly permanently failure of the franchise. 
==Differences from "Chip-chan Kick!"==
Unlike the original video game and Japanese versions of audio novels (Chip-chan Kick! The Audio Novel, Dark Renovation), Chieftain series is more of fully original and different franchise than a rearranged version of "Chip-chan Kick!". The differences are:
# The plot is different at all and the characters are too emotional than in the original series;
# In Dark Renovation and The Showdown audio novels Stacey's hitmen, Malice and the mercenaries of Intelligence Department of Ministry of the State Security speak Russian instead of Chinese, and in Japanese version of Dark Renovation they speak Japanese but with a strongly pronounced Chinese accent;
# Due of the strict policy of European Union against the child pornography and sexual morality, Terminal Voltage staff are forced to reject "2nd Dimension trip" chapter of Dark Renovation audio novel. It is still available on YouTube in the MemesCIS channel under license of Yusup Dalmaz;
# Probably, by same reason the Japanese version of The Showdown was renamed to Chip-chan Kick! Stones Unturned.
# Unlike original audio novels, Chieftain series used officially licensed music tracks, like All Along the Watchtower, Paint it, Black or Russian Rose.
