Danganronpa Creator Declares He Will Only Make Games He Likes, Regardless of Sales
In a recent announcement, Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka expressed his determination to only create games that he genuinely enjoys, regardless of their commercial success. This statement comes after Kodaka enthusiastically promoted his latest game, Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, which is currently on sale on the Nintendo eShop.
Kodaka proudly declared Rain Code as “the best visual novel ever,” touting its compelling story and characters. In response to some critics, he reiterated that he is proud of Rain Code because he genuinely loves the game and is ready to create more games that resonate with his personal taste, even if they may not appeal to a wider audience or achieve high sales numbers.
“I only make games that I like. So I don’t care if the game sells well or not. I like making games that stand out more than being perfect. And this is not a game that everyone will like. I just want people with similar sensibilities to me to come buy as many of my games as possible,” Kodaka wrote in a tweet.
While many gamers support Kodaka’s commitment to creating games based on personal preference rather than commercial viability, some have raised concerns about the challenges faced by indie game developers who may not have the freedom to adopt a similar approach due to financial constraints and the need to maintain relationships with distributors.
Despite the mixed reactions, Master Detective Archives: Rain Code has garnered positive reviews for its character design, engaging storyline, and captivating soundtrack. It has achieved a commendable sales record of 300,000 copies worldwide, proving to be a successful venture catering to a specific niche audience.
