something tells me that we'll be seeing Katsuro having a panic attack at LEAST once in the killing game. he's just:

y'know what I'm saying? he's the PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION of the sound that laminated paper makes when you wiggle it if u understand? anywho excellent! keep up the work! :^]

you are so right about the laminated paper comment omg we are adding some text effects in hb and one of them is a very wobbly/shaky text which you already know I'm going to use with Katsuro and Cornelia

Katsuro sprites!

[luckcycler]

Rise and shine ursine!

Katsuro Borzoi is so perfect, tube-horse is the perfect flavor of hunting dog for his vibes

it is such a sad looking dog breed I felt it was very appropriate :DD

[luckcycler]

idk if someone already asked you this but do you have an Art Fight account if so what's the link to it

sorry! I don't unfortunately :(( I'm too busy for it

[luckcycler]

dud you purposely made Frog Katsurou look like he has two pair of eyes

?? not really? what are we talking about?

I feel like you've probably already been asked and maybe even answered this, but, have you ever had any thoughts abt Heartbreak Cast But They're Animal Crossing Villagers? (which i realise might just be the coward's way of asking "what are their fursonas")

you are in luck! I have actually answered both of these questions before

these animal crossing drawings are starting to show their age though

and then I also answered a while ago what animals they would be:

Kiwa - Goat

Gina - Crane

Nori - Seagull

Mei - Gouldian Finch

Katsuro - Borzoi

Masami - German Shepherd

Tsubaki - Black Widow Spider

Tetsu - Hedgehog

Suzu - Wasp

Cornelia - Hare

Hotaka - Deer

Aino - Betta fish

Kohaku - Crow

Daisuke - Marten

Shion - Peacock

Kana - Brown Bear

happy to say I got Kiwa's basic sprites done so here's a couple of them for show!

Oh, I only realized this now - is the track from that one clip you've shown named "Revolting Silence" as a deliberate inversion of the DR games' "Beautiful [X]" ones?

you are right! It is also an inversion name for our other track that does go by the beautiful naming convention: Beautiful Static

I was scrolling back through your blog and looking at that ask about drastic design changes… idk if it’s intentional (heckuva coincidence if not) but I love the princess tutu influence on the girl with blue hair

oh! I haven't actually seen Princess Tutu, I've been meaning to for a while though...

Now I'm curious what about it is similar if you don't mind telling? :0c

honestly the best thing people can do for us at the moment is send us nice encouraging messages / questions and tell your friends about this project

I always show the others the asks I get and it gives us all motivation to continue! And word of mouth is a great way to get our passion project out there

I know you said Heartbreak will be free, but are there any venues to send you monetary donations? I am really excited for this game and you and the team are putting in so much hard work!

thank you! I really wish there was, my team is so skilled and deserves it

but due to the nature of this project being a fan project we can't get money for it to make sure we don't get in trouble since we don't own the rights to Danganronpa :( the worst thing to happen would be a cease and desist notice and then there's no Heartbreak

Shhhh theyre thinking

[luckcycler]

Kiwa after she has used one ounce of energy to care about something

I dig the way you do Kiwa's sprites! She feels like a relatively inexpressive sort of person, so it's interesting to see the way you play with her expressions in subtle but striking ways

thank you! I hope her personality will show well through the sprites. She is quite reserved

are you actually letting Barb and Rue be their real name are they just canonically staff 1 and 2

I'm sorry they are canonically No.1 and No.2

but if you wanna call them Barb and Rue I do know who you are talking about and can respond accordingly
