The June 18 Nintendo Direct broadcast unveiled Too Kyoo Game\u2019s brand-new RPG The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. <\/strong>The long-awaited collaboration between Danganronpa series writer Kazutaka Kodaka and Zero Escape creator Kotaro Uchikoshi is set to be published in early 2025 by Aniplex. The despair-filled game\u2019s announcement has been met with an overwhelming response from fans of both creators, but it seems the project had a rather rocky start, as revealed by Kodaka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent interview with Famitsu<\/a>, Kodaka, who is the director and scenario writer for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, reveals that development of the title started 6-7 years ago, right after Too Kyoo Games was established. The game was initially supposed to be published by another major publisher, but the project went through \u201cnumerous difficulties\u201d and ultimately fell through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite the initial project for Kodaka and Uchikoshi\u2019s game reaching a complete halt, the creators were confident in what they were making and decided to restart development on their own, keeping the core concept but revamping characters and other elements. According to Kodaka, the team planned to make Hundred Line an \u201cindie-scale game,\u201d but as the title\u2019s concept, characters and scenario solidified, they realized that they would not be able to create their ideal game without expanding the scale of development. \u201cWe decided to take the plunge and…take out a loan,\u201d Kodaka recalls.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Tookyo Games' first in-house IP game. We have invested all our money and human resources into this game, and in a sense, it is an epic indie game. I will also have an English dubbing ready for release. Your support is needed! We spread this game to the world!\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/YJYTxoJYvn<\/a><\/p>— Kazutaka kodaka\/\u5c0f\u9ad8\u548c\u525b (@kazkodaka) June 19, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
