Is Skullkeep made in Japan?

The release is as follows
PC-9801 December 1993
PC-9821 1994
FM Towns January 1994
sega cd March 1994
Amiga 1995
PC DOS 1995

As for me, play did all this above and arrived for one conclusion

I think, the rough plot was produced by the FTL company,
in fact the Japanese victor entertainment company produced the dungeon master 2 skullkeep

How does everybody think?

The game was developed by FTL team in the US, and released in Japan first.

The wiki is written as it is, but I think it is wrong.
There is no capacity for FTL to develop PC - 9801, FM - Towns, Sega CD.
(Victor Entertainment Corporation is a large company with 400 employees exclusively from Japan's Dungeon Master to Dungeon Master Nexus)
I can assert that Victor Entertainment created skullkeep for PC-9801, FM-Towns, Sega CD.
I think that FTL provided a story and graphics
Of course, in addition to Victor's own story (Minion, Meteor Metal: 流星剣)

What do you mean here by "created" :?: Possibly the Victor team adapted the original DM2 code for the japanese systems (PC-9801/9821, FM-Towns & Sega CD) -- but certainly DM2 comes from FTL. You can also check the beta version that came on PC months before the first release. There were almost everything -- and actually even more ! -- that is found in the final version. Not even saying the DM2 engine comes from the original DM1 code.
However, Victor did specific musics used only in japanese version.

Skullkeep was/is a great game. I purchased it on CD from some game store in a mall, when it first came out.
I didn't even have a computer that would play it at the time (can't remember why now).
I lugged that game around for years before I remembered to load it up on the computer I was using at the time.
Once again, I found myself wandering all over the place, smiling like a kid with a new and shiny toy.

Was December 1993 when it first came out. I'd be asking about the English version.
Whatever, thanks for the information.
