Yes, we still have a forum.
Publisher NIS America recently interviewed the producer of the FuRyu-developed action RPG Crymachina, Fuyuki Hayashi, asking about various facets of the upcoming title.In one such question, Hayashi revealed why this title has an all-female cast. At first, he detailed his dislike for the discrimination some people receive over their labels, influencing the decision to incorporate machines into the story so the “human” label wouldn’t become a distraction.Additionally, this distaste for labels was a reason why the cast is wholly comprised of females—the usual automatic associations of love resulting in a man and woman being together impacted this choice, too.Some of the major themes ...
- Can you tell us about what inspired the various settings for CRYMACHINA? (Ex: Eden, the Imitation Garden etc)My biggest sources of inspiration were the manga series Blame! by Tsutomu Nihei and the manga version of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. I also enjoy reading novels like The Night Watch series by Kouhei Kadono and Jukai no Hotori by Hirotaka Tobi. Upon revisiting them after the completion of CRYMACHINA, I could really see the influence they had on the game.- What inspired the Dei Ex Machina and their unique character designs? Are they based on anything in particular?When coming up with the Dei ex Machina (mechanical gods), my first thought was to make them parts of a multi-agent system. In terms of worldviews that consist of multiple god-like beings, I looked to Gnosticism as a reference. Visually, the Dei ex Machina differ in their appearances, and each one was the product of much discussion with the character designers (Yoshi. and Rolua).- What new storytelling techniques did you try in this title that you have not used in previous games?Until now, I've made works that followed a "looping" structure. This game ...

Tominaga: Since the last numbered game was released, new hardware, such as the PlayStation 5, was released. It would be very difficult to create a new numbered game for multiple platforms suddenly. That’s why we decided to make a new title after [Sisters vs Sisters and GameMaker R:Evolution]. I think we will actually be able to bring the new titles after the release of the five new Compile Heart titles.The last new numbered ...

Not much information was shared regarding this project besides a few character renders and the fact that it’s planned to launch in Japan in Summer 2024 for unspecified platforms.Additionally, because the title is a spinoff, the developer will be able to be more creative with the overall direction, setting itself apart from the mainline series. We’ll keep you all updated on this exciting project. It’s worth noting that ...
Unfortunately, practically no details about the project itself were shared since the focus is currently on the newly announced spinoff Death end re;Quest Code Zion. Still, it’s neat to finally have confirmation on this project since, for those unaware, fully completing Death End Re;Quest 2 granted a new opening movie highly teasing a continuation of the series.It’s worth emphasizing that ...
