The Hundred Line Creator Clarifies Odds of PS5 Port Are 'Very Slim' As Studio Is on the Brink of Bankruptcy

I will buy it to support them.

It's a great game, probably one of my favourite games of the year so far. Surely there's a publisher willing to buy them in the worse case scenario, maybe even Spike Chunsoft since the style of game already suits them (since they are made up of ex employees anyway).

Maybe they could try kickstarter?

I hope they don't go under. I would buy it, but can't afford it right now. I've just added it to my wishlist, so if it goes on sale, I'll grab it.

The game is good but too expensive.

I picked it up on Switch since I was looking for a good portable game. I have no prior experience with the Danganrompa games so I was coming in fresh and I'm really enjoying the game so far. It's kind of reminds me of 13 Sentinels a bit with the whole Visual Novel/SRPG setup. Turns out that makes for a really good combination!

Hopefully it will do well enough for them to continue operations. I might even look into picking up the Danganrompa games after I finish this one.

@Mattock1987 are you for real? How much do you think it should cost? Up to 100+ hours content there potentially.

@Korgon to support Too Kyo games, maybe a better option for people to pick up Raincode: master detective archives. Danganronpa is probably the better game, but raincode is more likely to keep them afloat.

I’m not surprised about the situation. They’ve taken a long time to not really do very much. Taken some gambles on phone gaming that I doubt worked out. For core games it’s only really their second and Rain Code did not do particularly well(I haven’t even bought it yet, although I will buy it next time it’s on sale, best I can do I’m afraid).

On the plus side their new game has a peak CCU on Steam of around 20x Rain Code+.

Pick up on switch even though I have an expedition to complete before I can get round to it. I prefer to play this type of game on PlayStation but I suppose if we all wait it may never come.

I hope they can continue but that thumbnail on switch certainly isn’t helping. I went right by it in the new game section of the switch E shop and only found it by searching.

I guess in Japan they can’t do GoFundMe type things to help him out?

@Meowmixes98 You're the hero we need!

Great attitude to have. We need to do our best to keep talented studios afloat, it's a win for everyone who likes playing quality games.

Id buy day one on Ps. With Pc i will wait for dumpster pricing like most there

@Wraggadam
I haven't heard of that game. I'll give it a look though.

I'm enjoying it so far. Hopefully things work out for the developers, as they do seem to be taking a risk with this.

Bought it on Steam. So have other people, it seems, considering it's obliterating all of their previous releases in terms of player count.

It's a wild, ambitious, incredibly weird game, and it will hopefully find its audience.

@danzoEX Loads of Japanese devs have done Kickstarter stuff. Even famous devs like Keiji Inafune who worked on Mega Man, Onimusha, Street Fighter etc.

He later clarified on Bluesky that he wasn't talking about porting it to PS5, and that the chances of that are very slim. He was referring to bilingual support only.

Well dang, I think I better hurry and support them. I’ll get it on Switch, next paycheck.

I will have to look into it. I am a fan of both series but I was uncertain about this one.

They're games I respect from a distance. Like a "not for me, but lots of people I respect are into them" kinda thing.

I'm getting a switch I think. Not one for handhelds but I gather you can put them on a tv so il do that. Yes it was this hundred line game that made me consider it,then I found out the new ai the somnium is switch only so as an uchikoshi fan that tipped me over the edge. The latest famicom detective vn looks good too.

@crimsontadpoles is it really good?iv never done any turn based tactical type games so that's the only thing I'm cautious about. Is it easy enough for a beginner to get to grips with?

@Gravytrain From what I've played of it so far, it's been great other than a few minor nitpicks. In terms of difficulty, there's some challenge to it, but it's not been overly frustrating yet. If you fail in battle, you can just retry the current wave, so it's fairly forgiving. Plus, you can freely switch it between regular difficulty and easy mode if you wanted.

He said the same about Master Detective Archives and we all know how that ended. It will be on PS5 in 2026 guaranteed. Pretty obvious as well since they are on the verge of bankruptcy, they need as many buyers as possible and the easy option is to be on more platforms.

Speaking as somebody firmly on the outside looking in, surely the bulk of the work is already done and the costs of porting the game are far outweighed by potential additional sales?

maybe sony could give them a loan or buy the dev outright..

I'm in no rush. If the game doesn't get a PS port in the next few years I might buy it on Switch. I wonder if the studio will still exist by then...

@naruball Was gonna say this. I'd be down for donating $25 to the cause as they are a solid developer!

I'm sure it'll get here eventually

At this point they're basically depending on Switch sales as over on PC a huge part of the target audience is playing COE33. As much as I'd like a PS5 port, I could still play it on PC or Switch but I'm too into Oblivion and the aforementioned game. They couldn't have known about Oblivion but I think they really underestimated the appeal of Clair Obscur. Probably due to the Japanese not really rating Western games.
