A New Years Revelation


Hello everyone, we would like to wish you all the best for 2019! The project is still being worked on, however most of it in the technical aspect so their is not a lot to blog about. Hope you have been enjoying the audiobook we are working on occasionally within the meantime of Danganronpa: Togami.

Here is some information we will be addressing

  1. Delirium Games: First and foremost, a very big thank you to Delirium Games, without your efforts we would not have come this far! In sadder news, Delirium Games has decided to spend more time IRL pursuing higher education and have left the development team. It is sad to see them go, however we wish upon them all the best for the new year and thank them for all they have done! This means that now there is only 1 main artist working on the game by them self (with possibly another who will occasionally make something for us however contact has been difficult. This leads on to the second topic

  2. Release Date: Originally the release date , when first conceptualized, would have been early 2018. The reason it didn’t come out is because it would have been, for the lack of a better term, really bad. Using premade tumblr sprite assets, an unfinished barely translated mess of a game with an OST more befitting of an addicts Mix Tape rather than a game. After searching around online we found that another team, Delirium Games, who had abandoned their own project, which we contacted and absorbed projects. This immediately put the scope of the project onto a larger scale, with better looking art. Now we seek to improve the artwork even further by doing more redraws of older sprites and such will be upcoming in the future. We have also found an Editor for the script who has done a tremendous amount of work for us, making the script much cleaner and easier to read. Because the scope of the project is so big now we would like to issue an official statement: There will be no set release date, however we are making sure it comes out as soon as we can. That being said, if you are an artist or programmer we could really use some help to make this as good as we can in as short of a time as we can.

  3. Minigames: Originally we did have minigames planned such as Hangmans Gambit, a Scrum Debate, and even a Zero Escape styled escape room sequence. However the programmer we had who was going to help with doing the games lost contact with us. Since none of us are specialized in programming the best we can continue to do is make the game how it was originally going to look, such as in the demo. Basically we will be cutting minigames from the game HOWEVER what we can do is something similar to how Danganronpa: The Animation handled them. Using a small cutscene to justify them (this will be easy for hangmans gambit but others may need just cutting entirely). Please let us know in the comments what you think.

  4. The OST: The results have come in, and the (definitely not biased) Poll says to revise the music and cut the fat. this means the OST for Danganronpa/Zero will be done from scratch with less music, but more appropriate fitting songs. (Secret File’s OST will not be changing) For now the OST online will stay intact until everything has been settled on. The video on the main channel will stay up as a legacy thing and a new one WILL be uploaded, however the smaller videos on the side channel will be going unlisted for when the new ost comes out.

  5. The Demo: Don’t worry, we have heard your cries! We have taken all of the feedback and criticism (including a certain incident) into consideration and will be doing our hardest to improve upon that to our full extent

Hope you all have a great 2019, thank you for following the development of Danganronpa/Zero
