    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.

    Continuity and Change
    “Continuity and Change” is the philosophy that Matsuo Basho, internationally renowned haiku poet of the 17th century, had ultimately arrived at. Such a philosophy is what Genyoshi Kadokawa, founder of KADOKAWA SHOTEN, had considered to be the cornerstone of the publishing business he founded and had put into practice in his business.

    The constant pursuit of novelty brings visibility to what essentially remains eternally unchanged. The will to continue taking on new challenges without fear of change is what comprises the “KADOKAWA Spirit.”

    “Continuity and Change” is the Management Philosophy of KADOKAWA and what we will continue to aspire towards, to connect ourselves with the future.

    '...maintaining a resolute stance against anti-social forces & groups that threaten the order & safety of society...' (Internal Controls, 7.3)

    '...excessive consideration towards the will of superiors (especially the Chairman)...' (Corporate Governance Inspection Report, page 4).

    OP4 - Delicious Sales Data (Kadokawa sales data post-divestment, FROM SOFTWARE post-acquisition, 2014 & Spike Chunsoft post-merger, 2012).
    'The Former Chairman of Kadokawa is innocent until proven guilty thrown under a bus for political expediency, any callow insolence will be met with the business end of a powered up heavy attack from a Moonlight Sword. From behind. While stun locked. Levelled up like no man’s business could ever survive a blow like that to his weakest of points, the most vulnerable spot. A most frightful prospect. Indeed.

    Kadokawa Games is dead, long live Kadokawa Corporation! Except the Old One Chairman who’s in the slammer having been accused by the filth of being a very naughty Olympic boy. Out with the old in with the new. Could've been worse, least he didn't get caught doing cocaine like his party loving former Chairman brother. Bribery allegations are all super fine & space dandy, but recreational drug use, now that's a big no-no in Nintendoland. Straight Edge for life or its straight to the slammer. I’m in good company it seems.
    Yet to see a post-mortem on Kadokawa Games from either Kadokawa or Dragami Games but cannot help but feel the succession of underwhelming sales, particularly for Relayer coupled with the huge success of Elden Ring informed the decision to move on. Relayer is an interesting case, discarding much of the original work by an external developer with three years of development after being taken in-house & rebuilt by the God Wars team for release on PlayStation consoles. Relevant sales data for added context (some now held by Dragami Games) below:
    Who am I you say? Heh heh heh…didn’t you guess, why its Patches the New, True Chairman here, I'll be your guide for all things Kadokawa, FROM SOFTWARE, Spike Chunsoft, maybe even a little Gotcha Gotcha Games if you play your cards right. The studio, not the Olympic Committee. We already gotcha gotcha them. Tee Hee Hee. We own all sorts of things as well, but enough about my pilfered wares, why did the gaming division receive a spring clean in 2022, the year of your lord but certainly not mine. No siree, none of that worshipping malarky for me, not even Miyazaki The Great One. Sssh. I might not believe in him but I sure do fear his wraith.
    Disturb the slumber of His Miyazaki Majesty at your peril & its off to the B-Team for you!

    Patches the Destroyer of Bad Sales News

    ‘When even our own sales tracker is coming up short, it's time to clear out the dead weight. Threw ‘em all overboard but kept the Overlord. My kinda guy. But he better shape up sharpish cause those meagre sales just won't do. Patches the True Chairman accepts nothing less than massive abundance of blood & treasure. Some might say they’re one & the same. Hmm? Well never mind that, come ‘ere, take a look down this Kadokawa shaped rabbit hole. I swear it'll be worth your while, honest mate…hehehehe. What - don’t you trust me?’

    "FromSoftware is not the only one" Developing games that respect the original work without worrying about losses or risks. President Natsuno's strategy for rebooting Kadokawa's Games Business Division:
    ――つまり、コンソールではフロム·ソフトウェアがあり、スパイク·チュンソフトがあり、そしてモバイルゲームはKADOKAWA本体が出版やアニメの事業局と連携して進めていくわけですね。
    --In other words, FromSoftware and Spike Chunsoft are responsible for console games, and KADOKAWA itself is responsible for mobile games in cooperation with the publishing and animation business bureaus, is that right?

    夏野そうです。コンスタントに年間5本くらい出せるようになったら、熊谷を社長にして別会社を作ってもいいとは思っています。ただ、そうなると熊谷が責任を負うことになります。僕の配下でやってる限り責任は僕が取るから、冒険もできるんですよね。
    Natsuno: Yes. When we are able to consistently produce about five works a year, I would be willing to establish a separate company with Kumagai* as president. However, in that case, Kumagai would have to assume responsibility. As long as she is working under me, I will take responsibility, so she can be adventurous.

    Highly recommend looking over these last two in full, pretty damning all things told, while Geoffry Bunting's article, How much does From Software crunch? sure makes for a sobering read...
    Tokyo Olympic bribery scandal rolls on; company apologizes (Kadokawa Corporation CEO, Takeshi Natsuno at news conference).
    30-month sentence sought for ex-chairman in Tokyo Olympic bribery trial (Prosecutors request sentence for ex-Aoki Holdings Chairman, Hironori Aoki at the Tokyo District Court, set to make ruling, April 21st).
    Regarding the discussion in the Kadokawa Q3 results thread about self-publishing, Kadokawa Corporation own Spike Chunsoft, can expand its US division to handle future titles by FROM SOFTWARE, much like Atlus USA helped SEGA localise Like a Dragon titles. Also for gaining more staff, could enquire to acquire…Acquire from Gungho Online Entertainment. It would also have the added benefit of bringing the developers of Tenchu (FROM SOFTWARE IP) & Way of the Samurai (Spike Chunsoft IP) in-house to remaster/remake/reboot at some point in the future.

    Can see there is plenty of ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON discussion going on in the Media Create Discussion Thread, more than welcome to pick it up here. Don't forget that when discussing the sales potential of mecha games that there is more to FROM SOFTWARE than AC, there's more than enough Giant Robo to go around. Frame Girde, Murakumo, Metal Wolf Chaos (now available in XD!), Another Century's Episode 1-3 & R, Chromehounds, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn & last but no all means least Steel Battalion Heavy Armor. VR Remake when? Cause I really wanna falcon punch my cowardly, spineless colleagues right in the gobsmacker for real...I mean in the game. But of course you can catch up on the AC6 latest below:
    Have no fear my Sadistic Spike Chunsoft Chums you are not forgotten but never forgiven. Made in Abyss patch out, can now bypass the animu-tutorial & go off-brand rogue. Frontline Gaming Japan review by Johann C.K. is a useful primer for the uninitiated (innocence is bliss). Oh & don't think I didn't spot you delinquents Kenka Bancho Karate Bastards! discussing the disgusting future of the series. Never forget where you came from Y'sK the next time you go Otome, Kenka Bancho - gotta keep your Hood Pass Intact. Cause you never know when you're going back to basics. Think Japanese cult open world crime before it was Yakuza Zero Cool. Oh Bancho, didn't anybody tell you to never to go full Otome?!? Be sure to check out Shinjuku no Ōkami & Spike Chunsoft sickos can hope it gets the much needed Kamiwaza Way of the Thief treatment as we eagerly await its ‘large-scale title’. Any guesses on what it could be?
    Old interview, but this excerpt was published recently, I think is very relevant to the topic of OTII (and also makes me think the interviewer is part of the forum lol).

    Kodaka: The response from overseas has been great! There’s already things like fan art. It’s not easy to reach a wide range of people with an initial announcement, so Nintendo Directs are great.
    We talked about potentially making it multiplatform before, but this announcement made me realize the effect of narrowing it down to one platform. It would be a different story with an AAA title, but there are so many AA and A titles that it would get buried if it were multiplatform. It was Spike Chunsoft who made the decision to make it Switch-only, and I think it was a wise one.
    A common pattern I see with successful indie games is to release as a Steam exclusive, climb the Steam rankings, and be noticed by new people that way. The same can be said for the Switch: climbing the Switch rankings puts the game in front of a new audience. To reach those who don’t consume media, climbing the rankings is just about the only opportunity.

    Kodaka: Exactly, and if we made it multiplatform, it would certainly be buried and lost.
    Nintendo Direct has much more influence than State of Play, so that seems like an advantage of making it Switch-only. Although developed by other companies, Nintendo Direct announced Triangle Strategy while State of Play announced The DioField Chronicle, both of which are Square Enix games with similar needs, and yet their sales numbers are completely different. I don’t think that’s an issue with the games themselves. It seems like a difference in promotion from my outside perspective.

    Kodaka: Another factor in our decision to release it for the Switch was that it’s an adventure game. I think if another company decided to make a new IP for the Switch, they would have a hard time if it were mainly CGI because of the Switch’s hardware limitations. We were able to make Rain Code because it focuses mainly on the story. We’re going to release more promotional videos, some of which will feature the Mystery Labyrinth, so I hope the variety there catches people’s interest.
    Update: Nice find @brutaka3 - but why won't anybody buy a Vita? Gnosia found its fame there, rising up the charts before Switch & Steam ports, maybe Too Kyo Games & Spike Chunsoft noticed, or remembered how Danganroonpa started out on PSP & grew outwards. Alternatively its a post-rationalisation for any business decision made, still it'll be interesting to watch how it fares on Switch. Not just for being a timed exclusive, or a huge turn around by Spike (Chunsoft having a long standing relationship with Nintendo / The Pokemon Company) but for the wider adventure genre in Japan, moving away from visual novels, looking towards, adventure games made in domestically & internationally. (edit: typos, changes to improve & add more detail).

    “Assault Boost is an offensive action that helps close the gap between enemies and lets you quickly go from long distance to close range.”

    “Say you activate Assault Boost to make your approach while using machine gun fire and a missile salvo to stagger the enemy, then use your pulse blade to score a direct melee hit once you’re up close.”

    “The average movement speed across the game is somewhere between Armored Core 3 and Armored Core 5.”

    “But Armored Core VI has been developed to bolster the changes of tempo and combat. With instantaneous bursts of speed and sudden changes of tempo, combat can often reach the dizzying heights of say, Armored Core 4.” -

    Mr. Livingstone:
     Mr. Miyazaki, are you working on a new work at the moment?

    Mr. Miyazaki:
     I am preparing several new works at the same time, but I can't say anything about them here (laughter). I will get angry from various quarters, so please stay tuned to .......

    Mr. Livingstone:
     What games have you been playing recently? Please tell us about your personal life.

    Mr. Miyazaki:
     I have played some games from the "Fighting Fantasy Collection" that were not translated at the time. For example, Mr. Livingstone's "Port of Peril".
     As for digital games, I played "God of War Ragnarok" (PS5 / PS4) most recently, although this is half of my job. I also love simulation RPGs as a user, so I played "Tactics Ogre Reborn" (PS5 / PS4 / Switch / PC). On smartphones, it's "MARVEL SNAP" (iOS / Android / PC).

    Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
    'The first time I played one of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s games, I was miserable. I kept dying on the first enemy over and over again. But when I slowed down my approach, paying attention to the details, it all of a sudden clicked. I managed to defeat the enemy and advance further into the game. I earned my progress and felt a sort of rush! And as I moved forward in the game, I was much more deliberate, careful in how I explored this world. And in return the world rewarded me with tension, beauty, and surprises

    That’s why Elden Ring—his massively popular 2022 hit—is a great ambassador for video games and the unique feelings they can effect in the player, feelings that a passive medium like TV can never re-create. Miyazaki’s games make the player feel accomplished and smart—and it’s all thanks to his and his team’s uncompromising approach. He refuses to overexplain the mechanics or the lore, but rather puts his trust in the player to figure it out on their own.' - Neil Druckmann (Ninja Blade tier PC Port for The Last of Us: Part I)​

    “Humanity, perish.”
    [NSW/PS4*/PS5/Steam] Ancient Weapon Holly <RPG> (Acquire) {2024.03.08}
    *after tens of thousands of years, the release date for PlayStation 4 has yet to be determined (launched March 26, 2024)

    ▼Intense Combat
    In the dungeons, a moment's hesitation can be deadly.
    Breath-taking, intense combat awaits you.
    Face enemies with overwhelming strength and seize the fleeting moments of opportunity for strategic battles.

    ▼Strategically Lure Enemies into Pitfalls [Patches: an Autonomous Weapon resembling a girl after my own heart, tee, hee, hee]
    Break the ground and block the enemy's path.
    This is your way to survive.
    Predict the enemy's movements, create pitfalls, and capture them all.
    Strategic foresight, rather than straightforward combat, is essential in this game.

    ▼Exhilarating Action of Burying Enemies in Pitfalls
    Lure enemies into pitfalls and bury them with your own hands.
    The thrill of this moment is one of the game's main attractions.

    ▼Deepen Strategy with Holly's Evolution and Altar Unlocking
    Defeat enemies to acquire enhancement items.
    Use these items to evolve Holly and unlock the altar's functions!
    Experience a deepening of strategies as you play.
    With a skill tree format, a variety of enhancements are possible based on your strategy.

    Patches the Acquire Analyst.
    Patches the Name. Acquisitions My Game. Will keep this sharp-ish as I'm sure you're all busy pre-ordering RPG Maker WITH coming west this fall for Switch, in 2025 for PS5 and PS4. But as you wait for the payment to clear, here's a primer for all things ACQUIRE. OPs have not been updated, but that's ok, cause they're perfect the way they are, just like me hee hee hee...
    Ladies & Gentleman, I present to you the latest on the Acquisition of Another Century, courtesy of some Mad, Bad, Sad Detective work from yours truly, I was able to uncover the following:

    Consolidated Financial Results for FY 2023 Supplementary Material Query
    I have been reading the latest financial reports from GungHo Online Entertainment to find out more about the sale of Acquire to Kadokawa Corporation & its impact on the company results. Can you advise if the sale took place in the final quarter of FY2023 & is recorded in the reduction in consolidated employees & the extodinary profit booked in the Consolidated Financial Results for FY 2023 Supplementary Material quoted below?

    【Operating profit】
    [Salary and allowances]
    As of the end of the 4th quarter, the number of GungHo non-consolidated employees was 439 (an increase of
    27 from the previous year, and an increase of 17 from the previous quarter), and the number of consolidated employees was 1,387 (a decrease of 64 from the previous year, and a decrease of 100 from the previous quarter). Due to the bonus payments in the 4th quarter, salary allowances increased by 376 million yen from the previous quarter, amounting to 1,767 million yen. (page 2)

    Consolidated Profit and Loss Sheet (page 6)
    Extraordinary profit
    Gain on sale of shares of subsidiaries and affiliates - 682 million yen (page 6)
    【ガンホー】お問い合わせありがとうございます 管理番号:
    'First of all as you mentioned, the sale of Acquire took place in 4Q FY2023, and employees in Acquire are included in the reduction of consolidated employees of us.
    In addition regarding 682 million yen of the extraordinary profit, the profit which arose from the sale of Acquire is included in it.'
    Patches the New, True Chairman would like you all to know that Acquire was bought, fair & square with the proceeds from nothing but the most legitimate of businesses. I swear on your Mother's Life! Acquire company outline has an (undated) staff count of 148 so we cannot take a reduction of 100 at face value. However it should be noted that while the recruit page lists 139 as of June 1, 2020, the 2025 job listing page has Acquire with a cool 150 staff as of January 2023 so it had been going up. Which is what you need to build a team for AAA WOTS5+!!!!!

    While the overall amount could include other sales, the 'Extraordinary profit, Gain on sale of shares of subsidiaries and affiliates' category has been empty since the sale of Grasshopper Manufacture to Netease Games in 2Q 2021 when a cool 3.191 billion yen passed Killer 7 hands. Now maybe they had to pay a SUDA 51 premium for the GHM IP. But one thing is clear, Netease Games sure has a thing or two to learn from Good Ol' Patches' Kadokawa Corporation when it comes to negotiating an Honest to Ancient Gods, Hookah Hazey deal. Tee Hee Hee.

    If it’s not Edgy, it won’t pierce your heart.
    If it’s not Edgy, it won’t make a dent in common sense.
    As creators, we must sharpen our own sensibilities.
    Instead of copying someone else, let’s continue to polish our individuality.
    Our goal is to create a game that is the only one in the world.
    With the new excitement we create, we can make the game even more interesting.
    What’s the point of making a game for enjoying the unusual, if it’s just going to be round?
    Come on, let’s make it more Edgy.​

    Brief round up of the rest of the cards in the new Kadokawa Deck, but first we need to talk about the cheat card Acquire tried to hide up its sales sleeve. Watch『XALADIA: Rise of the Space Pirates X2』Second Trailer Don't blink, you'll miss the Wolf (in Sheep's clothing) as it turns out two of the characters in the XALADIA X2 key art weren't included in the game.

    "Don't skimp on praise for me, I deserve it!"
    [NSW/Steam] Hookah Haze <ADV> (Acquire/Aniplex) {2024.xx.xx}

    ◆Introduction

    It's the year 2xxx.
    On the outskirts of Akihabara,
    a new hookah lounge opens its doors to customers.
    Welcome to Hookah Haze!

    Before long, the rookie manager Toru Sumiki notices that socializing with the lounge's peculiar clientele has begun to change him.

    Tobacco flavor recommendations on social media affect who visits the lounge,
    weaving the twists of the story nudged in this or that direction by the choices the protagonist makes in the course of relaxed late-night conversations with his customers.

    ◆Story

    "Anything you want to try doing?"
    The protagonist, Toru Sumiki, loses the will to live after being diagnosed with a fatal illness.
    Toru's doctor insists he should make the most of the little time he has left,
    and he signs on as a temporary manager of a hookah lounge.

    Through his new job, Toru meets three very unusual girls.
    Although cheerful at a glance, they're battling with work problems or past trauma,
    searching for a place to belong.
    As Toru begins to bond with them through hookah,
    what will he find once the girls fully open up to him?

    April 9, 1984 - April 9, 2024
    I don't have any t-shirts to give away to Based InstallBase users but I can give forum thanks to users who posts their favourite OG Chunsoft memories only. No Spike, no Spike Chunsoft.

    Cause fuck you that's why Selfish Spike, you're the annoying younger sibling always crying when it doesn't get presents on someone else's birthday. Don't worry if you aren't familiar with Chunsoft, it's understandable when it never had an international division & post merger Spike Chunsoft only has a few titles available to buy. Boo! Here's a brief (by VN standards) primer:

    中村 光一

    Prodigious talent from a young age who submitted games to PC magazine I/O before entering the Annual Hobby Program Contest held by Enix & the rest is early Dragon Quest History.

    —DQ2 came out very shortly after the first game, too. You said it was delayed, but even then, it was less than a year between them. That seems unbelievably fast to me.​

    Koichi Nakamura: And yet we were constantly told “you’re late!” (laughs) [cries] 😥

    Full interview with Famitsu, as translated by shumuplations is an essential read, will pepper a few quotes throughout plus a couple other articles it has translated for you, starting with...

    No.

    Q8. What is the thing you want most in the world now?
    A house.

    Q9. What was the first game you ever played?

    Q14. Who is your favorite manga artist?
    Hisashi Eguchi. [Explains the T-Shirt in 428!]

    Q15. Do you feel a special pride for any of the games you've created?

    No.

    Q20. Is there a future to the career of game designer?
    If not, then I'm in trouble. [more like Troubleman!] :cool:

    CHUN
    SOFT

    —What led up to you deciding to start Chunsoft then?​

    Koichi Nakamura: Since high school, I had always thought I would go to Tokyo and start a game company. When I actually did make it to Tokyo and began college, I started talking about those plans with my friends. So four or five of us started using my apartment as our office, where we made games like Door Door mk II and Newtron.

    Then we said, hey, why don’t we try and register as an official corporation and rent out an office, even if it’s a single room. It was just before I was going into my second year of college, during spring break, that we went around with a realtor and found a good place, and Chunsoft was officially established that April.

    —I imagine many people from this generation don’t know the origins of the “Chunsoft” name… would you mind explaining it again here?​

    Koichi Nakamura: You’re probably right. (laughs) I liked mahjong in high school, and played it a lot. One of my friend’s nicknames for me was “Chun”, from the mahjong tile. We used that name for the main character “Chun-kun” in Door Door. That game turned out to be a hit, and we thought it was a good omen, so we chose Chunsoft as our company name.

    After having collaborations for the best part of a decade with Enix & Yuji Horii on ADVs plus four mainline Dragon Quest entries with a fifth on the way, it was time for CHUNSOFT to let fly:
    Otogirisou Origin Sales Story
    GIBwciJWYAALWj0

    —How were the sales?​

    Koichi Nakamura: We initially shipped out 120,000 units. At the time I remember wishing we had sold a little more (laughs), but Otogirisou had a really long tail, and we kept delivering extra shipments of 10 or 20,000 at a time, and ultimately it sold over 300,000. In the beginning, especially, it was often sold out, and people began to talk about it as this mysterious game: “I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it in stores…” Maybe it helped contribute to the scariness. (laughs) [cries some more] :cry:

    Sound Novel Evolution 1 - Otogirisō Sosei-hen (PS1, 1999), 2 - Kamaitachi no Yoru - Tokubetsuhen (PS1, 1998) & 3: Machi ~Unmei no Kousaten~ (PS1, 1999)
    Sound Novel Portable: Machi - Unmei no Kōsaten: Tokubetsu-hen (PSP, 2006), Kamaitachi no Yoru Triple: Mikazukishima Jiken no Shinsou (PS2, 2006), Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer (DS, 2006), Imabikisō (PS3/Wii/iOS, 2007 - 2012), Shiren the Wanderer DS2 (DS, 2008) & Shiren the Wanderer (Wii, 2008) to name a SEGA published game or two.
    428 ~Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de~ // Shibuya Scramble (Wii/PS3/PSP/iOS/Android & PS4/Steam, 2008 - 2018)

    Looking up both the 20th & 30th Anniversaries only to serve the highlight by comparism how pathetic 40th Anniversary celebrations. Nothing but a t-shirt contest, no reminiscences from key staff throughout the history of Chunsoft, let alone the failure to announce even a single new title, not even a remaster? Where's the love!? For what its worth, I've emailed both Spike Chunsoft in Japan & North America but for not let's round up with some memories by former programmer at Chunsoft who left to found none other than the mighty Climax Entertainment.
    GIBwVpcXoAADQni
    内藤寬
    Kan Naitō
    At my company Chunsoft, we’re fortunate to have many people of good character (laughs). Before things get too busy, we go on company trips together to strengthen our solidarity, and de-stress as much as possible.

    We also sometimes write plans for new games during these trips. Overall though, we don’t create planning documents for our games. We do have something, usually a copy of the pictures and text we brainstormed on the whiteboard. Whatever’s there becomes our planning docs. (laughs) And it sometimes happens that no one can read or understand what was originally written. (laughs) You know, technical issues, processing speed, and memory all come into play, so sometimes its better not to have a strictly defined planning document so early in the development process.

    In any event, these trips are a lot of fun. One time we went to Yomiuri Land and rode the roller coasters early in the morning, and everyone felt sick for the rest of the day. (laughs)

    BONUS BALLER ROUND
    Koichi Nakamura: There’s different genres, so I can’t say this will be true for everything, but with scenario/story based games, I think the important appeal is this: when you played it, did it make you feel like you got to lead another life? As game developers we must strive to capture that feeling. It’s a lot of trial and error.

    Yoichi Miyaji: Yeah. “Appeal” is something different for everyone. There’s as many tastes as there are people.

    Nakamura: Very true. I think of “appeal” as the feeling, “I don’t want to stop!” (laughs)

    Yoichi Miyaji: I think appeal changes throughout the years too. Sometimes conventional, sometimes cult. It’s good if you can ride that wave, and hook up other media trends. For example, no one’s going to enjoy a game about the Olympics if it’s released when the Olympics aren’t actually being held.

    Another thing is that games must have love in them. There are games where you can tell the creators didn’t have any love for what they were doing. Those games always suck.

    Nakamura: That’s a part of it, yeah. You want players to think that you, the creator, were really into it yourself. I think “love” is a good word for what players feel in that moment.

    Yoichi Miyaji: Yes, it is love! When you, Nakamura, pour your heart into a game you’ve made, that love comes through. The players really can feel it. It’s like “Nakamura, wow, he’s so awesome, what a guy.” It’s your stamp of personality.

    Nakamura: (laughs) [cries so hard it ain't even funny] 😭

    Announcing ISEKAI CREATORS Project!
    A Shared World and Lore that Welcomes Fanfiction and Expansion from Everyone!
    Creating RPGs are difficult, due to writing a compelling backstory or worldbuilding being quite a time-consuming task. Through ISEKAI CREATORS, we seek to help creators kickstart this process by providing a free back world setting that anyone can borrow and expand on!

    The lore of ISEKAI CREATORS was created by Takuji Endo from the FarEast Amusement Research Co.,Ltd. (aka F.E.A.R.). Endo is known as the mastermind of many TRPG lore and unique worlds for JRPGs. ISEKAI CREATORS’s lore is based on the genre of isekai (lit. otherworld – often about someone from the real-world drifting into a completely different world), currently popular in many Japanese manga and anime. The lore is designed in such a way with exciting, but just enough information to not deter the creativity and freedom of expansion for creators who wish to take part!
