The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is only days away from its April 24 release date, which might still feel like a lifetime to the games' co-directors Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi, who say the tactical RPG was a significant financial burden.
Kodaka, who also created the Danganronpa murder mystery games, suggests in a new, translated interview that "raising the funds" for Hundred Line "was extremely difficult" since it was his and Uchikoshi's studio Too Kyo Games first original IP. Uchikoshi is perhaps previously best known for the Zero Escape series.
