Interview Tidbits: Granzella’s Kazuma Kujo and Bandai Namco’s Kensuke Tsukanaka
- People run away from the huge monsters you would often see in the special effects shows and anime from your childhood. We started by making a game where you can experience the feeling of being one of those people.
- As you would expect from a Kazuma Kujo game, there will be many choices.
- Depending on your choices, the heroine may come to think that you’re a terrible person.
- You won’t dare to see the end of the fight between Ultraman and Nise Ultraman. Because the hero is, to the bitter end, an ordinary person.
- Each work won’t crossover. You will experience various situations for each work on a stage-by-stage basis.
- Since we’re focusing on completing the main game, there are currently no plans for downloadable content. However, is it under consideration.
- Development is currently 75 percent complete.
Thanks, Hachima Kikou.
