Will Danganronpa 2x2 have a different protagonist for its newly added original route? Or will Hajime Hinata remain and be the protagonist in both routes?

Mr. Kodaka, I need your help, please! 🙏 I've been reading and working so much that I've developed insomnia and am having panic attacks. I'm playing The Hundred Line as much as I healthily can! But do you know anything that I can play or watch before bed that doesn't involve heavy text or reading?

If The Hundred Line turns out successfully profitable and rescues TooKyo Games from its indebtedness. How long would it take to port the game to other gaming platforms? If possible? Added, what length of time will foreign-language users have to wait for translation and localization, if possible too?

The Minecraft Movie's showing in theatres at the moment. Do (or have) you and Mr. Uchikoshi play(ed) Minecraft? Mr. Uchikoshi pays homage to Minecraft in AI: The Somnium Files in the form of ShovelForge; but I'm curious as to what's the extent of you guys' experience and knowledge of the game?

The Hundred Line isn't listed on the EShop for Australia and New Zealand. I live in New Zealand, and I've been saving up and preparing for this game for a long time, but now I'm scared that I can't play it all. I don't have a gaming PC.😭 Can this please be fixed? We're English-speaking countries

Will The Hundred Line have a DLC Season Pass or Content Expansions? As is the case for Rain Code? Adding ends? Or will Rain Code receive further downloadable Substories in the future? Though they're made and published by different companies, I relished waiting for and playing Rain Code's substories!

Although you didn't write or direct Tribe Nine's narrative. Do you, at least, know the story, dialogue and/or characters? Or had some writing input in either of the three, however small? ⚾️ 🧢 🏏

What thought is put into setting the day and date of a character's birthday? Are the days and dates intended to hold special significance to the character or audience? Or do they have a meta level of meaning?🎈

Mr. Kodaka: Which came first? Rain Code or The Hundred Line? You've described both of them as having taken 6-7 years of development; And that The Hundred Line (I'm playing the demo) was TooKyo Games' oldest venture. But since Rain Code released in 2023, I was under the impression that it was older?

Can I ask how many songs The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy will have? If you can't give an exact amount; may you compare it to the quantity of BGM in another of Takada's OSTs? E.g. Is it greater or less than the number of tracks in Rain Code? Danganronpa V3? Killer 7? Digimon Cyber Sleuth? Etc.

In World's End Club, the Go-Getters are able to reunite and reconvene at Shikoku, after their short spat in Kagoshima, thanks to radio waves bouncing off and echoing throughout the ionosphere. Does this actually transpire in real life? Where did you and Mr. Uchikoshi, find this cool fact?

Excuse me, Mister Kodaka; Can I please ask if this is going to be the first moment of gameplay in The Hundred Line? After the beginning cutscene? That is, the game starts with a 20-minute long opening movie before transitioning to this exchange. Marking it as the start of the game? Unless I'm wrong?

Did you see SAWTOWNE's parody of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc's Punishment, "After School Lesson," in their new MV "Confessions of a Rotten Girl/ft. Hatsune Miku"? I believe it's a double reference to both Naegi/Kirigiri and Enoshima's Punishments, actually? It starts from 1:37 and ends at 2:00.

Did Gambler's Parade end where you wanted it to finish? Did the publisher force you to rush the manga to its conclusion so that the manga's story had to be wrapped up prematurely? Or were you able to depict the full story you wanted to tell?

You've described The Hundred Line as the cumulative product of your, Mr. Uchikoshi's, and TooKyo Games' careers. Therefore; Will the game feature homages to you guys' past creative works like Infinity, Zero Escape, Danganronpa, Punchline, Akudama Drive, World's End Club, AITSF, Rain Code, etc?

I'm hopeful you'll be invited to tour various towns and cities around Japan and the whole world! In World's End Club, Mowchan talks of savoring a wide assortment of delicacies wherever he goes; And you post about food. If you were able to travel to anywhere on earth; What food would you like to try?

During my playthrough of World's End Club, I was thrilled to sightsee and learn about the prefectures of southern Japan up to Tokyo! Before returning to Kagoshima at the end. I was wondering;Will y'all ever write a road trip journey game like WEC that explores the northern half of Japan past Tokyo?

After completing World's End Club a week ago, I wanna ask. Was Reycho always planned to be revealed to be a robot? And that Pochi was an autounous AI whilst Yuki was an AI personality of MAIK? Or did this come after they were designed and the "death game that gets canceled" concept was iterated on?

Aniki Fan (Never Lose Heart ❤️ 💙 💜) @ethangarcia.bsky.social · Jan 6

I bought and completed World's End Club! It's the loveliest and most heartwarming game ever! ❤️ I want to thank You, Uchikoshi, Take, and everyone involved in the making of this game! I literally cried throughout the whole journey; Especially at The True End! And now I got my emotions back! 😭 TYSM 💖

My completion of World's End Club with 22 and a half hours! During and after watching The True Ending, I was bawling my eyes out! 😭

Thanks for answering 🙂 I absolutely adore his style of filmmaking! Do you have a favorite Tim Burton film or project?

Aniki Fan (Never Lose Heart ❤️ 💙 💜) @ethangarcia.bsky.social · Dec 31

I think Kodaka would agree with you! But he's consistently described Rain Code as having a Burtonesque aesthetic, so I would think Rain Code's setting is more like Tim Burton's 90s Batman films.

Aniki Fan (Never Lose Heart ❤️ 💙 💜) @ethangarcia.bsky.social · Dec 28

Is Rain Code's setting in any way influenced by the videogame Batman Arkham Knight, by Rocksteady Studios? Since in the latter game, Gotham is eternally dark and rainy as it's always nighttime. Or does the setting only draw inspiration from Heavy Rain?

Is Desuhiko actually a good musician and artist? Or is he just a poseur?

Aniki Fan (Never Lose Heart ❤️ 💙 💜) @ethangarcia.bsky.social · Dec 14

Can you recommend more story-driven games for game therapy? I don't know what to play after completing all of your and Uchikoshi's games?Or books for book therapy? Music for music therapy? Even films for film therapy? I want to spend my time wisely while waiting for The Hundred Line! 💯 😌
