about the project
The combination of both games in one product raised some challenges relating to the overall size of the game – including the content from both titles and with all three supported languages risked exceeding 5GB, which would have called for a progressive download system. It was a valid option that we were prepared for, but since then that 5GB limit has been increased, so it fortunately never became an issue.
Another thing one has to deal with is an upper-limit on the number of trophies/achievements for a single product – however, there had already been an earlier PS Vita release combining both games which also had shared trophies.
Finally, we had to fix some bugs and memory leaks that would appear if the player switched between the different versions frequently – the kind of issue that could easily have been missed with a less carefully done port.
about the game
Danganronpa 1-2 Reloaded compiles the thrilling narratives of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, offering players a double dose of murder mystery set within the confines of a deadly high school game and a deserted island life. In both games, players find themselves trapped with a group of other students, where the only escape is to commit the perfect crime without being caught. The series is famed for its blend of high-stakes visual novel storytelling, intricate murder investigations, and courtroom battles where logic and deduction are key to unveiling the truth.
The unique blend of dark humor, engaging puzzles, and moral dilemmas challenge players to think critically about justice and truth. Enhanced by stylish art and a compelling soundtrack, Danganronpa 1-2 Reloaded immerses players in a twisted world where every decision can mean the difference between life and death. It's a masterful combination of narrative depth, psychological intrigue, and the ultimate quest for survival.
