Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi creates a game company - Hacks assemble

[Adolf Von Merkel]

Too Kyo Games, the mysterious game companed announced earlier this week, is led by Danganronpa series creator Kazutaka Kodaka, Zero Escape series creator Kotaro Uchikoshi, and other well-known creators, Famitsu reported.

Seven key figures are leading the company:

• Director / Scenario writer: Kazutaka Kodaka (Danganronpa series)
• Composer / Arranger: Masfumi Takada (Danganronpa series, 100 Sleeping Princes & the Kingdom of Dreams)
• Illustrator / Character Designer: Shimadoriru (Danganronpa series, Fate/Grand Order)
• Director / Scenario Writer: Takumi Nakazawa (Ever17, Root Double)
• Novelist / Scenario Writer: Youichirou Koizumi (Break-kun Core, Ultra Despair Hagakure)
• Director / Scenario Writer: Kotaro Uchikoshi (Zero Escape series)

“The object of this company is to do something new, which is the creation of a new IP commonly known all over the world and in a future we will make indie games by ourselves,” Kazutaka Kodaka said in a statement. “This new company enables us to move freely towards the goal.”

Four new projects are currently underway at Too Kyo Games. Here is a piece of concept art and bit of information about each project:

Project #1 (Game)
“A Game with a Kodaka x Uchikoshi Joint Scenario! ‘Limit’ x ‘Despair.'”

A video game that all creators of Too Kyo Games will concentrate their abilities on. The genre has not revealed yet. Kodaka and Uchikoshi will make the scenario together.

Project #2 (Anime)

“Everyone is a Villain.”

An anime in collaboration with Studio Pierrot. The original author is Kodaka and the character designer is Komatsuzaki. They will depict the image of action films in the 1990s such as Pulp Fiction and The Professional.

Project #3 (Game)

“A Children’s Death Game, By Children, for Children.”

An action adventure game by Kodaka as a general manager, Uchikoshi as a scenario writer, and Nakazawa as a director. The concept art drawn by Take (illustrator, known for Tawagoto) represents school children playing death game. It is very shocking.

Project #4 (Game)

“A Spike Chunsoft x Too Kyo Games Dark Fantasy-Esque Mystery.”

Collaboration of the development team of Danganronpa and Spike Chunsoft. Kodaka actually started this project before his retirement of Spike Chunsoft. We imagine a kind of cyberpunk world from this art. Komatsuzaki designs the characters, Shimadoriru designs background, and Takada directs the sounds.

This would led to good games/VN or a trainwreck who delivers funny memes to laught at the story.
My favourite/the one I'm more hyped is the third project because Uchikoshi/takumi combo.

I mean, I know Kodaka and Uchikoshi are friends, but this is looking good.

I'm in favor of all of this. An anime that styles itself after stuff like Pulp Fiction of all things? Oh my yes. The games look interesting, and while I'm not sure about Limit x Despair since there's so little info on it, I do have a soft spot for death game scenarios, so the third one looks really interesting. The last one also caught my eye, because seeing Team Danganronpa and Spike Chunsoft get together to make a dark fantasy mystery game outside the realm of the death game genre(or subgenre, however you wanna call it)does sound interesting.

Looking forward to more information and eventual results.

I hope Pierrot contract good animators for it. The director is the Persona 3 ones, tho.

and while I'm not sure about Limit x Despair since there's so little info on it,

I feel the same, I also fear that the mix of uchikoshi and kodaka would be very bad.
Still, I'm curious of it.

I do have a soft spot for death game scenarios, so the third one looks really interesting.

Takumi is a good director and is a VN freak who love to make weird VN's narrative.I'm a little suspicious because he want to try different genre, I hope Uchikoshi isn't crying to him to make a VN with 3D cinematics because LiS and TWD games are cool(Takumi found a company after his departure from Kid since like in 2005, so I think he knows how to work with a budge).

The last one also caught my eye, because seeing Team Danganronpa and Spike Chunsoft get together to make a dark fantasy mystery game outside the realm of the death game genre(or subgenre, however you wanna call it)does sound interesting.

Yeah, I hope the change freshen up their ideas to make the story.

Looking forward to more information and eventual results.

I agree, I hope it doesn't become a trainwreck like other times when some directors/writers found a company and people hype them.
