Soft Circle French-Bread (フランスパン Furansupan?, known as Watanabe Seisakujo prior to 2003) is a dojin soft company that specializes in 2D fighting games. They have worked particularly closely with TYPE-MOON, a former dojin soft company themselves, to turn TYPE-MOON's renai game series Tsukihime into the Melty Blood series of fighting games. One of their current games, the scrolling brawler Ragnarok Battle Offline, a homage/spoof of the MMORPG Ragnarok Online so impressed Gravity Corp. (the original game's designers) that it has been given an official release outside of Japan.
It is believed that the name change was to prevent confusion with multimedia company Watanabe Productions.
Their games include:
- The Melty Blood series of 2D fighting games
- The Queen of Heart series of 2D fighting games
- Glove on Fight: another 2D fighting game
- Ragnarok Battle Offline: a scrolling brawler
- Bike Banditz: A shmup
- Rosa Chinensis Four Hand: a curtain fire shmup
- Lillian Fourhand: Nuclear Sœur the Fighters: a scrolling brawler/shmup
- Drill Milky Punch a multi directional fighting game
