Production and performance
Kazutaka Kodaka was credited as director and screenwriter for 'Hundred Days Warrior: The Final Defense Academy.'
The pace of the hundred-day story has been revised
Xiao Gao repeatedly reread "The Hundred Days of War" from the player's perspective, moving events forward or adding twists in potentially dull places, adjusting the pace of the hundred-day reading session.
The screenwriter arranged the performance themselves
This work allows the screenwriter to write and perform according to their chosen direction. Xiao Gao explained that lacking situational narration can easily cause discrepancies between facial expressions and voices, and this process helps reduce misunderstandings.
Repeatedly adding or removing emoji materials
When a performance requires adding new expressions, if there is too much material, it may be cut; Later, when it was still not enough, they continued to add more.
The trade-offs in combat dialogue
To continue the dialogue during the defense battle, Kotaka wanted to avoid creating a large number of branches based on the combination of dead members, so he chose the device to instantly revive characters.
Collect the outline first, then read the finished manuscript
In the early stages of development, Xiao Gao received the route outline for Uchi-Echi, but only read the final draft carefully after debugging was complete and the game foundation could not be changed.
Planning and presentation of 'Danganronpa'
Kazutaka Kodaka recalled the original "Danganronpa" in 2010 and said that the project was initiated by him and Komatsuzaki through discussions on script and art, with the name "high-speed reasoning action" appearing first, and the system then conceiving the name accordingly. The 2011 production talk further explained that the team used deduction and execution demonstration videos to show the company actual 2.5D performance. Komatsuzaki also recalled: after Kodaka introduced "Psychopop," he shifted his visual focus to emphasize a more trendy feel.
Terasawa recalled that the initial proposal submitted by Kodaka still needed a clear system; Kodaka then added Komatsuzaki's figure paintings and vivid colors, while Terasawa brought the new version into company discussions. Later, the two demonstrated directly at management meetings and advanced product production through review and review.
Script and performance for the 'Danganronpa' series
In the 2012 conversation, Xiao Gao said the story and specifications of the first game were often rewritten during development, and the sequel already had a foundation with minimal changes. When writing lines, he also chooses expressions and decides the performance, shortening lines on the spot when a particular reaction is too long; After adding images and other materials, continue to assess the presentation effect and refine the script.
The relationship mechanisms and feedback of the Danganronpa series
Xiao Gao designed the intimacy level in the first game so that players may still lose the character's experience even after investing, and it is linked to the growth of the judge skill. In Super Danganronpa 2, the team gathered the judges' results based on feedback and displayed them at the end, using 2D maps to reduce getting lost while moving.
The selection and selection of the score for "Hundred Days Battle."
Takashi first asked Media.Vision's sound staff to list the required tracks based on past works and battle needs; when writing scripts, he added missing music to Takada, and immediately added it to the game after Takada delivered it.
Facing scheduling pressure, the two kept the persuasion theme and canceled the plan to split the song by exploration area. The battle music was proposed by Xiao Gao in the direction of 1990s digital rock, using BOOM BOOM SATELLITES and others as references.
Combining special review with combat retesting
Kodaka and Gang recall that Takumi's special review was an added setting after the initial concept. The team originally wanted to add a retry system to the RPG combat simulation, but later made it Takumi's special subject, combining control functions with the script.
