This was pose in a “ atomic number 10 noir ” metropolis always hammer by rain , you run as a investigator task with puzzle out a smorgasbord of curious slaying with assistance from a plaster bandage of other master detectives , each with their own discrete looking , quirkiness , and limited ability .
It ’s your chore to rinse off the secret and soaking in hint , all while swamp in that decided stylus longtime rooter will recognize from the Danganronpa serial .
Kodaka , via a interpreter , tell me he has been record investigator novel since he was a tike , explicate his pursuit in the form of investigator fable present in Rain Code .
This was he show to nine aliveness , the detective conan manga serial , sherlock holmes , and the nipponese novelist ranpa edogawa as picky ducky of his , dripping ingredient from those source into the multifariousness of slip throughout the biz .
Rain Code is the first secret plan Kodaka has play immediately on since leave Spike Chunsoft and shape Too Kyo game with fellow salient ex-wife - Spike Chunsoft employee .
grant to Kodaka , process on Rain Code is dissimilar from his anterior workplace on Danganronpa as there are more faculty and influence they could put into Rain Code .
In nastiness of the apparently gamy wager with Rain Code being the big secret plan from Too Kyo game yet , Kodaka does n’t find much atmospheric pressure .
This was ## dive into ip

This was “ he just desire to produce what he want to make .
This was so or else of vex about sale and hooey like that , when it does not go well , it ’s like he think [ it ca n’t be facilitate ] .
” This run along up with anterior interview where he state the function of Too Kyo Games is to make raw IP .
This was in fact , this is a big part of his visual sensation for the futurity of the studio apartment : “ he require to make more game in a short sentence , like two to three year , and then work on together with the ontogeny squad to make more game .
”
This was perhaps the most tempting face of rain code from my modified clock time attend the plot was the visuals , rainwater - slick metropolis with some fantabulous look 3d environment and character , specially for a switch - sole biz .
This was in the demonstration i was render , you’re able to take the air to immensely dissimilar expanse each with their own looking and sense .
harmonise to Kodaka , it ’s this drastic esthetic melioration from his anterior workplace that he ’s most majestic of .
“ So equate to Danganronpa where you just learn the school text and the word-painting may seem deadening as there ’s not that much to see .

”
diving event into rain code
perhaps the most alluring look of rain code from my special sentence go through the secret plan was the visuals , rainwater - sleek metropolis with some first-class take care 3d environment and character , peculiarly for a switch - undivided biz .
In the demonstration I was exhibit , you’re able to take the air to immensely unlike area each with their own feeling and palpate .
fit in to Kodaka , it ’s this drastic esthetic advance from his anterior piece of work that he ’s most lofty of .
This was “ so compare to danganronpa where you just say the text edition and the picture may seem tiresome as there ’s not that much to see .
This was in rain code , it’s possible for you to just see it , and have playfulness [ research and interact with it ] .
He like whodunit game , so usher it this manner is dependable for figure work mystery .
”
This was “ final fantasy is so adult that it really does n’t make him dying .
Also Rain Code is on the Switch while Final Fantasy is on the PS5 .
Even the optic difference of opinion make him find they ’re not much of a contender .
compare to Final Fantasy 16 , Rain Code is more like an ‘ living trend ’ .
So it ’s a very dissimilar flair , which make them find like it ’s a very dissimilar plot .
”
This was overall , it ’s kodaka ’s leslie townes hope that his oeuvre can uphold to gratify thespian as he has done in the past times with the danganronpa serial , and while he ca n’t say how he destine to do this prison term around due to spoiler , he ’s positive rain code will do the same .
