	Compile (company) was a Japanese video game developer, most notable for having developed the '' Puyo Puyo'' series, a franchise derived from the ''Madō Monogatari'' series. On 6 November 2003, the company suffered from bankruptcy. As a result, key staff moved to Compile Heart, the company's spiritual successor, whereas shoot-'em-up staff moved to MileStone Inc. The Compile trademark is being used as a brand label by Compile Heart to promote merchandise and games based on Compile properties. As of 2010, Compile Heart entered into a licensing deal with D4 Enterprise to create new video games based on franchises from Compile properties. This agreement does not affect the rights to the '' Puyo Puyo'' series as Sega retains ownership of the property. In April 2016, Niitani started a new successor company to Compile, Compile Maru. The company launched the game '' Nyoki Nyoki: Tabidachi Hen'' for Nintendo 3DS on the Nintendo eShop with a follow-up scheduled for Nintendo Switch. ''Puyo Puyo'' Compile ...
