One of the wildest, weirdest, and most bizarrely morbid gaming franchises of the past decade has, without a doubt, been Spike Chunsoft’s Danganronpa series. As celebrations continue for the visual novel/RPG franchise’s 10th anniversary, the man behind the madness – Kazutaka Kodaka – has shared some of his thoughts on his cute culling creation.
In a new video interview, curated by documentary makers Archipel, Kodaka discusses some of the influences and ideas behind the creation of Danganronpa and its many sequels and spin-offs. Kodaka talks of his love of Koshun Takama’s notorious novel Battle Royale, as well as his appreciation of the works of film director David Lynch. Checks out so far.
