Kodaka: When we were developing Danganronpa, there actually wasn’t anyone in charge of the scenes. So that meant that the story was developed first, and then the backgrounds and scenes were created after the fact, and I’d have to describe the details as they were being designed. However, for Rain Code, the background and scene designs were created by one of the illustrators, Shimadoriru. When I created the scenario it was a collaborative effort where Komatsuzaki-san and the Shimadoriru would have discussions about how the story works. So unlike with Danganronpa, it was all happening at the same time. As a result, the setting feels like it’s much more in line with the vision we had for the story.DLC 1 Ch.

"Valve's content review team, the group that made the original decision, has re-examined CHAOS;HEAD NOAH and decided to reverse course and allow the game to ship on Steam, as is. We've also examined the process that led to the previous decision about CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, and made some changes to avoid situations like this in the future."2022: [NSW/PS4/XB1/XBS/Steam] RESEARCH and DESTROY (Implausible Industries) // [NSW/PS4/XB1/Steam] AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES – nirvanA Initiative // [iOS/Android/NSW/PS4/Steam] Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp // [NSW/PS4/Steam] Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness (Chime Corporation) // [GOG/Steam] CHAOS;HEAD NOAH (MAGES) // [NSW/GOG/STEAM] CHAOS;HEAD NOAH / CHAOS;CHILD DOUBLE PACK (MAGES)
