Rain Code x Danganronpa II

So I was bored and having anxious thoughts, so I figure let’s do another Rain Code x Danganronpa Spin the Wheel again, but with a different cast (basically with all of the Peacekeepers and Shinigami instead of the Train Gang).

Blackened: Desuhiko Thunderbolt

New Support: Kurumi Wendy

Chapter 2

Victim: Dominic Fulltank

New Protagonist: Kurumi Wendy

New Support: Seth Burroughs

Chapter 3

Victim 1: Shinigami

Victim 2: Guillaume Hall

Blackened: Yakou Furio

Chapter 4

Victim: Makoto Kagutsuchi

Blackened: Kurumi Wendy

New Protagonist: Martina Electro

Chapter 5

Victim: Seth Burroughs

Blackened: Vivia Twilight

Traitor

Fubuki Clockford

Mastermind

Martina Electro

Survivors

Fubuki Clockford

Yomi Hellsmile

Zilch Alexander (Aide)

Swank Catsonell

Live Reaction/Thoughts

I swear to god, if Yuma dies early again, then this Wheel must have a vendetta against him.

Honestly, Vivia and Halara being against each other makes sense since they have shown to have clash once during Chapter 4, and are, what I headcanon as, senior detectives in the NDA alongside Yakou.

Okay, originally Fubuki was going to be the Chapter 1 victim until I realized I needed to spin for a traitor, and I mean, it’s possible for Fubuki to be a traitor if she doesn’t realize she is a traitor at all. But either way, YUMA STILL DIES IN CHAPTER 1 AGAIN!!! THIS WHEEL HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FORMER PROTAGONIST LIVING!!!

Welp, Kokobolt is dead. Sadly makes sense if you consider how early they are getting to know each other, Desuhiko probably kills Yuma believing he’s either the Mastermind or a traitor.

So funny story about Chapter 2, I was spinning for the next Chapter 2 victim, which landed surprisingly on Halara Nightmare, until I realized I needed to spin for a new support and decided to forgo that land, leading to Dominic becoming the victim instead. But the Wheel seemed to really want Halara to die in Chapter 2, so whoop🤷🏼‍♀️ Let’s just hope the new protagonist is not a Peacekeeper (unless it’s Seth again which I’m fine with).

Thank goodness… (though surprisingly Seth still gets to be a key player here)

Welp, once again the protagonist dies as the blackened. Not gonna lie, was hoping it would be Yomi because that would be hilarious.

Aaaaand a Peacekeeper is the new protagonist. At least it’s someone who (somewhat) has potential for a redemption arc so it can probably be properly built up this time.

Both the support and the antagonist go down. Since we’re at the endgame, no need to spin the wheel this time.

Welp, the third protagonist becomes the mastermind so let’s just pretend Fubuki has been the protagonist for the last few chapters because she deserves it🥰

TooKyo Games' "Limit x Despair" is finally unveiled as "The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-"

Once again, TooKyo Games came out swinging during a Nintendo Direct.

The moment this trailer starts up, you can immediately recognize Rui Komatsuzaki's character designs.

Then the setup is described: 16 students are locked inside an academy alongside a weird living mascot character, fighting for their lives as their friends are forced to die right in front of them. Sounds familiar.

Yup: Hard as it is to believe, it is already time for Kazutaka Kodaka's next game. The game once known as "Limit x Despair" or "Extreme x Despair" is here, and it's... a tactical RPG!

...I can legitimately say that I did not expect that. But I am also definitely down for it!

The story seems to deal with the world (or at least the characters' hometown?) being invaded and attacked by some monsters that look like the "Spirit World" baddies from Magical Girl Spec-Ops. Our protagonist Takumi Sumino is forced to hole up and lock down in a school alongside 15 other students and... this thing.

....and from there, they must fight to defend the school in the aforementioned battles.

Aside from the tactical top-down combat and visual novel sequences, you'll also explore the titular "Last Defense Academy" from a perspective similar to how your traversed the island in Danganronpa 2.

Given that we're apparently dealing with a cast of characters that will be whittled down and lost as the narrative progresses, I think this is going to be tonally much closer to Danganronpa's storytelling style than Master Detective Archives: Rain Code was. What I mean is: Master Detective Archives (MDA) was basically the gameplay successor to Danganronpa, but The Hundred Line (THL?) looks more like it's the narrative successor to Danganronpa, if that makes any sense?

Suffice to say that I am once again extremely hyped/excited.

Having sex is great and all but have you ever had a ship and been like

”Damn,I dont even care if these two kiss or not.They deserves each other,and I will be very upset if anything happens to them”?

Yuma Month Day 16: Detectives

This was another prompt I got stuck with for a while, but then I had an idea! I can draw Yuma dressed as one of my other favorite amnesiac detectives! I even held a poll on discord with some friends on who it should be! Out of Wato Hojo, Shuichi Saihara and Kyoko Kirigiri, Kirigiri won! I gave Yuma some shorts though for his own comfort.

And that got me thinking.... Desuhiko and Naegi basically wear the same outfit with different colours! So bonus doodle of the duo cosplaying together! This isn't an excuse for me to draw Kokobolt/Naegiri, nope not at all

Harem Deluxe: Night at Okinawa, Part 2

Rin: That's the last time I bet money against psycho goths. >////<***

Waruna: Eh? You lost a fortune, too? ಠ_ಠ

Rin: Oh, they got you, too did they? :P I should've known that bitch wasn't going just after me... But I feel a little bit better about myself if I pretend she did. ಠ_ಠ

Waruna: Meh. It's not that big of a deal. "Never bring more than you're afraid to lose," and all that. 'Sides. Yoshiko and Guillaume are working on winning everything back. The gothic lolita queen is toast. :P

Rin: >___> Yeah, well... I don't need no charity. *puffs cheeks, knowing Luvia is hitting the gambling tables now, just so Rin has to repay her for getting her riches back*

Waruna: Wouldn't dream of it. I don't even know you. Yuma's the overly generous dork between us. I make sure no one walks over him like a doormat. :P

Rin: Yuma? ಠ_ಠ Who's that, your brother?

Waruna: Uh, ew? No? ಠ_ಠ Yuma's my boyfriend.

Rin: >////////////////<*** Wh-Wh-What the hell are you doing talking to me about your bf?! Are you an exhibitionist!?

Waruna: What's that supposed to mean?!?!?! (╬≖_≖) Do you want a kick to the gonads?! (╬≖_≖)

Rin: I bet next you'll talk about your long walks together!! The sweet gifts he gives you!! What a chef of a man he is!!! >/////////////<*********

Waruna: How is that dirty or perverted?! Every girl should brag about their man. (╬≖_≖)(╬≖_≖)(╬≖_≖)

Rin: Y-Y-Y-Y-You're shameless. >//////////////////////////<*********** D-Dirty slut.

Waruna: (╬≖_≖) ... You're too shy to talk about your man, huh?

Rin: Shiro has nothing to do with this!!!!!!! ٩(๑ `н´๑)۶

Waruna: ≖‿≖ Shiro, eh.

Rin: ........... Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shut up you ch-chattering skank. >//////////<***

Waruna: I am going to slug you, bitch. (╬ಠ益ಠ)

Rin: Bring it, hussy. (╬ಠ益ಠ) I'll dish out way more than you can give!!!!!!

Shiro: (✿◠‿◠);;; *was on his way back to Mitsuzuri with her drink* Why does Rin have to make a scene now...?

Yuma: *a few feet away* ಠ_ಠ If it's not Pucci, it's Waruna. *sigh*

Shiro: Hmm? Is that one yours? (✿◠‿◠);;; S-Sorry about this. Rin doesn't mean anything bad, she just.... sometimes doesn't want to express her feelings...

Yuma: (✿◠‿◠);;; No, no. Waruna has this habit of teasing and prodding people, getting them worked up.... I'm pretty sure I should be the one apologizing.

Shiro: ಠ_ಠ *thins lips* Nonsense. I take full responsibility for this oversight. I could never ask anyone else to shoulder that burden. ಠ_ಠ

Yuma: ಠ_ಠ *thins lips in return* Yeah, no. You're better than me in every way. And I don't even know you. This is all my fault. ಠ_ಠ

Shiro: ಠ_ಠ I'm going to make this up to you and your girlfriend.

Yuma: ಠ_ಠ Not if I make it up to you and your sweetheart first.

Shiro: ಠ_ಠ

Yuma: ಠ_ಠ

Rin: Why are you the one apologizing for me, Shiro?! What the hell?!(╯°□°）╯It's this bitch poking her nose where she doesn't belong!!!

Waruna: Yuma, you gotta stop putting yourself down like that!!! (❋•益��❋) This tsundere is the one who can't or won't accept her true feelings!!!!!

Rin: Excuse me?! I'm not tsundere!!!!! (❋•益•❋)

Waruna: You shitting me?! You look up a definition in the dictionary, and there's a picture of you right next to it, bitch!!!!! (❋•益•❋)

Rin: >///////////////<*** Your boyfriend is a dwarf.

Waruna: >///////////////////<*** And yours is some boyband reject.

Rin: Boyb...?! Shiro would never be that shallow or put himself out like that!!!!!!! I bet your dwarf is looking up all the girls' skirts, though! :P

Waruna: (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) You sure? How many girls does he got lined up?

Rin: . . . J-Just the two of us. >_____>***

Waruna: (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) Oh, so you're monogamous? Reallyyy...?

Rin: I-I meant me and my sister, you bullheaded jerk!!! >///////////////<***

Shiro: ಠ_ಠ Rin, I know you don't like the others, but you know there's you, Sakura, Mitsuzuri, Illya, Luvia, Reines, Saber, and... Taiga-sensei. ಠ_ಠ

Rin: . . . D-D-Don't just broadcast your love life like that, you idiot!!!!!! >////////////////<*********

Waruna: (╬≖‿≖) Eight of you, huh. Yuma's much more restrained~

Yuma: ಠ_ಠ Uh. I'm pretty sure counting Shinigami there's eight of you, too, Waruna-chan. You, Yoshiko, Kurane, Kurumi, Pucci, Fubuki, and Guillaume. ... And Shinigami.

Rin: (╬≖‿≖)

Waruna: Ughhh...! Why'd you give her free ammo like that?! (╯°□°）╯

Shiro: I'll leave you guys to hash this out. (✿◠‿◠)* I'm gonna bring some complimentary drinks. On me.

Yuma: (✿◠‿◠)* Nonsense, they'll be on me... *speed-walks to the bar with Shiro*

Rin: Ugh... Why do boys have to be such idiots?! ಠ_ಠ

Waruna: I think it's sweet they're such gentlemen. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

Rin: >______>*** You eyeballing Shiro now, skank?

Waruna: Guys can be gentlemen even if you're not dating them. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) You're oddly possessive for someone who's so quiet about their love life.

Rin: (⊙▂⊙✖ ) That's not...! I'm not...!!! >________>*** Just shut up. Shut. Up.

Waruna: I betcha a mil that I can propose to Yuma before you do. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

Rin: What kinda wager is that?! Σ('◉⌓◉’) Shiro would be devastated if he's not the one proposing to us...!

Waruna: Is that your excuse? (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) Shiro's gotta juggle eight of you, so you're just gonna let him do all the legwork for your marriage? Suuure, that sounds fair and proper. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

Rin: (人◕_◕) . . . . . . . . . Are you calling me a lazy-ass?! (❋•益•❋)

Waruna: Well, I'd never invite you over for dinner. Freeloader. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

Rin: (❋•益•❋) You bitch!!!!! I'll give Shiro the awesomest wedding ever!!! You'll be the dirty, rotten cheapskate eating my dust!!!!! (❋•益•❋)

Waruna: (❋•‿•❋) Good thing I have real friends to depend on~... I'll do a joint proposal with Yoshiko, Kurane, and Kurumi. (❋•‿•❋) That one mil is mine.

Rin: W-Well, I'll...! . . . ;;;>______> **I know Sakura will help me out... Maybe Mitsuzuri.... But if I start talking with any of them about wedding stuff, I know Illyasviel, Luvia, and Reines are gonna conspire against us...! And Taiga-sensei and Saber will just butt in!!! Ugh...**

Makoto: ಠ_ಠ *at the bar with Sayaka, watching Shiro and Yuma try to outdo each other with their orders* ... *opens his mouth*

Sayaka: *clamps his mouth shut with one hand* Makoto, don't you dare take responsibility for their girls' shenanigans. (✿◠‿◠)***

Makoto: ಠ_ಠ But I can help...?

Sayaka: I said no. (✿◠‿◠)***

Alright guys, so I might be coming back to write fanfics and stuff. I'm not entirely positive since I've had some stuff going on for a very long while and it's still gonna happening, but I need to get off my lazy ass and serve 😾🫡

So send those requests in, only accepting up to 4 characters rn until I can get back into the swing of it 💗

(I will start writing for Raincode, Kimi Ni Todoke (once I finish it), Bsd (if I ever watch it and can be interested in it fully), Omori, Madoka Magica (I'll have to rewatch it maybe, so I can get some stuff accurate), Demon slayer (not a **huge** fan of it, but I can still write for it), Little Witch Academia (will rewatch), and lastly for right now, Saiki K (will finish) but bsd will be on hold since I haven't even watched it and only know small stuff from friends)

I want to be able to branch out and write for some fandoms that I'm interested in rather than only sticking with Danganronpa and Ddlc because those are what I'm used to.

I am also planning on giving this blog a makeover like my genshin Impact blog, so that will take a while. I look forward to being back 💗

Hello everyone, my name is Kate, AKA Night-Howl, and welcome to my account! ^^

I'm a 22 year-old autistic, ace lesbian who enjoys drawing (traditional and digital), animating, and playing video games.

I mainly post SFW art and animations of my interests and my own original stuff, but will sometimes draw stuff with slight blood, which I put trigger warnings on.

Other than that, my account is a safe place :3

I'm currently hyperfixed on Eddsworld, SMG4, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, Chikn Nuggit, and Danganronpa. I'm into other fandoms as well, but those are my main ones.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy this account, and give it a follow if you like my content. Check out my YouTube channel too! ^^

The Hundred Line - Famitsu interview June 19th 2024

What does the title Hundred Line mean?

Kodaka: The simplest way to describe this game is: student have to live together in a school while fighting to survive 100 days. This "100 days" timeframe became a major keyword, so we decided to express it through the title The Hundred Line - Last Defense Academy.

The game has been described as "a tale of extreme x despair produced by the creators of Danganronpa". This "extreme x despair" keyword reminds me of the Concept Art 1 presented September 2018 at the announcement of Too Kyo Games. Caption: Extreme x Despair. A game co-written by Kodaka and Uchikoshi!

Kodaka: As you can imagine, this is the game from Concept Art 1. We finally managed to announce, but at first, The Hundred Line was developed as Too Kyo's first original IP. However, our company isn't capable of self-publishing, so now we're working with Aniplex, on a half-half split on production costs.

When did development start?

Kodaka: Since we founded Too Kyo Games (2017), so that has been 6 or 7 years. At first, Uchikoshi and I partnered with another major publisher to release our game, but unfortunately, the project was canceled...

In a previous interview, you mentioned a title not coming out as planned, but I didn't think you mean an actual cancellation...

Kodaka: I have so much I could talk about on this one, but I don't think the first talk about this game should be about what went wrong, so how about we save it for another day? Haha. Although The Hundred Line's project was canceled for a while, now, after finding what we needed to make it a good game, we rebranded it and restarted our whole internal development cycle.

We were initially fine with it being indie-sized, but as the story and character designs were getting polished, and the concept gained a more solid form, we started thinking we couldn't make our ideal game unless we went bigger. Determined to put our hand to the test... we took a loan.

A loan!?

Kodaka: It wasn't guaranteed that we'd have the working capital to maintain our enlarged development scope even if we sold all of our stocks. We advanced the production with the phantom of debt on our necks while we searched for a new publisher, and that's where I met Aniplex and smoothly sold our pitch.

However, since this game has simulation RPG sections, they said that'd need a third-party developer. For that, they introduced us to the accomplished Media Vision and had them join the dev team. We're also cooperating with Jet Studio, who worked with us before in Danganronpa and Rain Code.

After all that it took to get this game to a presentable state, we of Too Kyo Games consider it a proud symbol of our persistence, or better yet, the culmination and conclusion to the current stage of our careers.

Staking your life on your work has never been so literal...

Kodaka: True, if this game flops, we won't be able to pay our debt. In that sense, this also provides a rare opportunity to the playerbase too. They get to witness how much a single title's sales can influence the future of a creator and company.

That's not the kind of suspense I want as a game fan, haha. Still, with six years of development, is it safe to assume you've been through a fair share of hardships?

Kodaka: I did. That was my first time dealing with a full cancellation. Also, to enable to Too Kyo to continue its work, to partner up with a new publisher, etc, we couldn't continue the development in the direction we were before. We needed to restart on our semi-complete project, and that's already painful labor in itself.

In terms of creative workload, I can't say I was much busier than I was in the Danganronpa V3 days, having to work in the game and the anime at the same time, but in this situation, aside from my directing, writing, and screen composition duties, I'm also Too Kyo Games's president and producer, meaning I have more work outside my craftsmanship... Making the game and managing the funds at the same time would have given most people a mental breakdown (laughs).

It was mentally and financially taxing, but I don't think I'll ever get another opportunity to pour this level of effort into making a game happen. Putting my life on the line was a very valuable experience.

You mean to say you can feel Too Kyo Games's entire soul in the game? On another note, I couldn't find any of the characters from the concept art in the new key visual or the screenshots. Does the restart mean that those characters got shelved?

Kodaka: The game's general concept is still the same, but to put a new, clean start on it, we changed a few things completely. One of them being the character designs. But despite their changed appearances, they maintain the characterization of their predecessors, so you'll see characters similar to what those would have been.

However, the old politician you see in the upper left corner won't be in the game (laughs). He's a character Komatsuzaki made up on the spot for this illustration, so I know as much about who he is as you do. He's doomed to disappear shrouded in mystery.

(laughs) By the way, considering how The Hundred Line is "the tale of extreme x despair", I'm curious about how this keyword "despair" relates to Danganronpa.

Kodaka: The tagline "tale of extreme x despair" is to signify that this is the first game Uchikoshi and I are directing together. It has nothing to do with Danganronpa, but it is a game made leveraging all of my previous experiences. With that plus Komatsuzaki's and Takada's involvement, I consider it a spiritual successor to Danganronpa.

Who from the main Too Kyo Games roster is working in this and what are their roles?

Kodaka: Uchikoshi and I are splitting the directing and writing work, Komatsuzaki is on the character design, Shimadrill is doing the enemy design and the backgrounds, and Takada is in charge of the soundtrack. Also, Uchikoshi and I do screen composition for the scenes we write.

I didn't think I'd have to do the screen composition job here myself, but I'm the best at handling Komatsuzaki's art and Takada's music, so that job is dumped on me. I got a lot of material to work with. Maybe more expression options than Yuma had in Rain Code.

The Danganronpa series also had me personally choosing faces and soundtrack one by one, so I hope the fans of that series enjoy the familiar vibes in the visual novel sections.

The new announcement came with a key visual. Are these characters in uniforms going to be the main cast?

Kodaka: Yes. They're the students of Last Defense Academy and are living in the school for unknown reasons. The students have special powers called Hemoanimas. They normally have their own sets of clothes, but upon activating their Hemoanima, they change into this uniform and fight against their enemies.

Is the white character a mascot?

Kodaka: Yes. He's the squad coordinator character. So his name is just SIREI, from shireikan; commander. By the way, SIREI is the reincarnation of the raccoon illustrated in the key visual. Both forms of this character were designed by Komatsuzaki. I pointed him in a general direction I wanted but overall let him do whatever he wanted. Meanwhile, the students followed the usual process going through a lot of back-and-forth until their completion.

In Danganronpa, their designs reflected their Super High School Level talents. Does The Hundred Line have any kind of keyword or characterization element that informed their designs in the same way the Super High School Level talents did?

Kodaka: Each student masters a different Unique Subject and has a different weapon of choice. That's what their designs mainly reflect. I'll talk more about Unique Subjects and weapons of choice later.

I'm looking forward to the update. Next question. Danganronpa and Rain Code had all-star casts of voice actors. I have expectations for The Hundred Line's cast.

Kodaka: Unfortunately, I can't reveal the actors at the moment, but I will say half of them have performed in previous Kodaka or Uchikoshi game and the other half is people we're both meeting for the first time. But look forward to it, it's going to be as all-star as any previous game. I know the released PV is voiced by the protagonist, but who is voicing him is still confidential.

Will the creatures depicted flying above the main characters be enemies?

Kodaka: Correct. The enemies are unknown entities attacking the school. They're called School Invaders. If you take a really close look at the key visual, you may notice the academy is protected by a pink flame. That's called the Unextinguishable Flame and that's what prevents the School Invaders from attacking 24/7.

When the School Invaders get past the Unextinguishable Flame, the students will need to repel them. The students aren't informed about the academy's or the unextinguishable flame's secrets, nor they know why the School Invaders are attacking. The story progresses as they fight School Invaders day by day unaware of their circumstances.

Do you have anything noteworthy to say about your interactions with Shimadrill regarding his work designing the enemies?

Kodaka: My priority for the character design of the weaker School Invaders was that they had venomous pop aesthetics. At my first discussion with Shimadrill, we arrived at the idea of making their designs intentionally similar to the monsters of a famous game franchise, but we changed plans along the way. Ultimately, we got likable enemies with that pop aesthetic.

Playing aggressively even on the designs, huh? That's the Too Kyo Games I know.

Kodaka: We changed our aim because copying designs was a really bad idea we took too far. Our mindset at the time is that, true to Too Kyo's name, we wanted to make a game that was indeed too crazy. Too Kyo Games is a company that prides itself on its writing, designs, and music.

However, compliance is a lot more important nowadays, so there's a lot more we need to keep in mind. We were defanged by the corporate structure of our partner for the cancelled version of the game. Depictions of violence and dirty jokes that were acceptable in our previous works weren't fine with them. We had to be on our best behavior to adhere to their compliance demands.

Now that I got to remake the game as something else, I can see that not releasing it on its previous state was for the best. Because I couldn't express my strengths in full there.

The Hundred Line was my first collaborative work with Uchikoshi and our first original IP. Making a game that's simply good wouldn't be enough. There'd be no point in starting this over if we couldn't go all-out. We developed The Hundred Line determined to make a game someone with good sense couldn't make. A title to be considered a product of deranged minds. In the sense, we were very lucky to land on a partnership with Aniplex.

Tell me more about what do you mean by "lucky" here.

Kodaka: To leverage the strengths of Too Kyo Games, we're writing a very controversial narrative. Aniplex is being thankfully quite flexible with what we're allowed to depict, as they understand our fortes and respect our vision. For that reason, Uchikoshi and I were able to depict the crazy story we wanted to.

Kodaka, in a previous interview, you expressed determination toward making this game a story that make people question your sanity. A game people wouldn't expect to be possible to make. Would you say managed to fulfill this ambition?

Kodaka: I can't comment about the gimmick without getting into spoilers, so I have no plans to reveal the answer to this before the game's release. Playing the game for yourself should be enough to convey Too Kyo Games's outlandishness. I believe my reason to pair up with Uchikoshi will be equally evident, and it'll be easy to make sense of why this game needed multiple writers and recruiting new hires.

I know perfectly well this is a tasteless request, but can you drop a hint?

Kodaka: Fine, I'll tell you some details after the interview. You're allowed to address what I'll say in your opinion post (laughs).

I appreciate the gesture, but let's see if I'm up for the challenge (laughs)

Tell us what the general gameplay loop is like.

Kodaka: The Hundred Line follows a cycle of 3 parts: a visual novel section, an exploration section, and a simulation RPG section. I already explained at the opener that it's a game where you survive 100 days of combat, but that doesn't mean time will pass uneventfully.

Like in Danganronpa, something will happen each day, and you'll get chances to talk with your schoolmates and deepen your relationships. You'll get Free Time, you'll get training sessions to increase your stats, and you'll be able to get other power ups by sharpening your weapons. The goal in the visual novel and exploration sections is to enjoy life with your schoolmates while also preparing for the enemies that can appear at any moment.

Got it. Now explain the simulation RPG section too, please.

Kodaka: The simulation RPG section has tower defense elements. It's not just about defeating the enemies, you also have to fight defending the school. Also, since the School Invaders come in large flocks, the main gimmick here is that you need to fight on multiple grids of the board at the same time instead of taking it one grid at a time.

Our developer, Media Vision, has a lot of experience in simulation RPGs. We'll disclose more details about the gameplay later, but I'm glad they were able to come up with and implement hype combat ideas (such as unique traits and ultimate moves for each character) in a way that can satisfy the fans of the genre.

You mean to say the simulation RPG sections are going to be solid?

Kodaka: Correct. That said, a lot of people who buy my games are casual gamers, so I always put emphasis on ease of play.

Then first-time simulation RPG players will have nothing to worry about.

Kodaka: Another point of interest is Takada's soundtrack. I requested the battle BGM to have the intensity of an action game. It's inspired by technical rock bands from the 90s, mainly The Chemical Brothers and Boom Boom Satellites. The visual novel sections, on the other hand, have a more sci-fi-adjacent OST to match its strong sci-fi aesthetics.

Tell us a release date and the consoles.

Kodaka: Early 2025, Switch and Steam.

Less than a year before release. Do you think the team can make it?

Kodaka: We're still working on it, but I think we won't have to delay the release. To be honest, The Hundred Line is progressing faster than Rain Code was (laughs). Besides, Too Kyo Games can't afford to delay a game our creators are staking their lives on.

Messages to players and readers usually often saying things like "We're doing our best" or "Cheer for us", but for this title, I can't bring myself to be so casual about it. I feel like I'm issuing a challenge to the players here.

I have a marketing strategy to draw attention to the game, and I'm polishing it to make anyone who buys it say it's a good game, so I'm feeling more of a "Just watch me!" or a "Wait until you see this thing released!" for a closing message.

Giant Kuroda's editorial comment

As outlandish as promised.

That's the interviewer's honest impression on what Kodaka told me about The Hundred Line's gimmick. I [Giant Kuroda] have been the Famitsu interviewer in charge of Danganronpa since Danganronpa 2. I interviewed him pre-release for a game launched in 2012, which means I've been talking to Kodaka for at least 12 years.

Kodaka and his art surprised me many times. In a good way.

Danganronpa 2's final boss. Danganronpa V3's first case culprit, finale, and the secret hidden in the title. Danganronpa 3 simultaneous broadcast of Side:Future and Side:Despair. Rain Code's first case...

The list could go on forever, but The Hundred Line's gimmick is more impactful than of those. I can't deliver a final judgement until I play the game for myself, but depending on what the game has to offer, it could be his uncontested best. That's how much potential I felt in that spoiler. I get the point of staking their lives on it now.

Also, in what's rare for a Kodaka title, the game will be allowed to be streamed relatively far into the story despite earlier spoilers (information subject to change). Kodaka's story-heavy games are a double-edged sword. It's possible for players to feel like they experienced enough by simply watching a Let's Play that spoils all the twists. However, I believe this game actually benefits from unrestricted streaming. But I can't say why. It's a spoiler...

At any rate, this game is Kodaka's and Uchikoshi's first collaborative story, and as Kodaka said, its narrative is a product of deranged minds. I wait with bated breath to the day I can finally play it, and also look forward to reading opinion posts about it online. You can get your hopes up, Kodaka and Uchikoshi fans.

Ramble Notes

Why does Yuma keep dying so early in these spin the wheel?😭

Originally, I spun again to get another traitor, which turned out to be Zange Eraser, but then, as you see, he ended up as Chapter 3’s Blackened so I’m not sure if I should count him as a traitor or not. Then I decided to spin the wheel again for another traitor, and I get Yakou Furio. Actually fitting

Okay, when I spun for Chapter 4’s victim and blackened, the victim landed on Desuhiko and I saw Fubuki was next to him and thought to myself ‘would it be neat for Fubuki to be the Blackened?’ And the wheel heard me.

Then of course, when I spun for Chapter 5’s victim, it landed on Yakou, and again I thought, ‘ooh, imagine if he killed himself,’ and again, the wheel answers my wish.

Not gonna lie, the mastermind was a completely surprise👀🫤🤨 Though not as surprise as Yomi somehow surviving the entire game🤣

I am happy with the cast of survivors though. Feels representative of a (reformed) Peacekeeper, the sole survivor from the NDA, a sole survivor of the train gang, the CEO himself, and an irredeemable Director to all survive the killing game.

To ramble about lore ideas I came up, I do like Seth is the protagonist since he is morally complex and has the most chance of a redemption arc. Like the detectives would be wary of him, and his only actual allies would be completely deranged psychopaths. Until he bonds with Pucci, another quiet member within the group, who I definitely see the two bonding. And Halara would be suspicious and antagonistic towards Seth since he would try to be a detective of sorts (and a right one this time). Feeling completely isolated except for Pucci (and maybe Vivia as well since he’s also a quiet person Seth would probably get along with).

Same goes for Halara’s and Aphex’s roles. Halara would probably overtime grow to tolerate and even respect Seth as he makes efforts to grow, to the point when Seth loses Pucci, they decide to help them (with a price, of course). While Aphex, having lost the train gang, who I imagine would have become his own friend group, and losing all of them sends him down a dark path he will have to come out of it at some point.
