Danganronpa Creator Kazutaka Kodaka Only Makes Games He Likes

In a brief interaction on social media, Danganronpa series creator Kazutaka Kodaka commented on the type of games he creates. In his statement, the developer explained that he values creating games that he himself likes and prefers to make distinct projects rather than “perfect” games.

Kodaka first shared two posts on his personal social media account on December 18 and 19, 2023, about the physical edition of Rain Code currently being discounted, and added that this was “a chance to play the best visual novel and the best detective game” with “the best stories and characters.”

When another user stated that Kodaka was “feeling himself,” the developer once again shared a post going into detail about the type of games he creates. Kazutaka Kodaka emphasized the importance of liking the projects he works on, regardless of how well they sell, and his wish for people with similar sensibilities to play the games he makes.
