Thank you for enjoying chapter 2! It is over!
For an update about the future state of DRDT, please read this post (or attached screenshots):
Again, I am very grateful for everyone's continued support and patience. I hope you will continue to support me.
CH2P2 is being worked on, albeit a bit slowly. Thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, less related to DRDT chapter 2, here is a sneak peak of something else I've been working on...
(At the time produced a colored version but ended up not using it for anything, so let's post it now)
I think watching people's backs is interesting. For what reason does someone turn away from you, instead of walking by your side?
DRDT is returning on Friday, September 6th! The rest of chapter 2 will be released weekly at 7pm EST! If you need a refresher on chapter 2, please watch this recap video ->
I hope you will enjoy it! 🥳
Thank you for watching DRDT ch2 part 1. Because of health reasons there is going to be an indefinite hiatus. I know that it's not an ideal time to have a hiatus, and it might be a while before I come back, so I'm very sorry.
Thank you for your support.
Have you seen this trailer?
I've been a big fan of Kill/Cure from the start. It was a big inspiration for me to release my own fangan, so I'm very excited to see it! The trailer looks beautiful with a strong atmosphere, the team's hard work is amazing! 👏👏
On Friday 7/21, 12PM EST, a music video about a certain someone in Danganronpa: Despair Time will premiere:
It will mean a lot to me if you can enjoy it during this ongoing hiatus. If you like puzzles, you can enjoy it more. Thank you for your support
From the start there seems to be an issue of people not treating DRDT staff with respect as humans, and that issue has severely intensified with the release of chapter 2.
At the end of the day, it's just fiction. Don't make me regret ever making Despair Time, please.
Basically, this is my other Fangan, which is not DRDT.
If I had to describe it in one sentence, it'd be: "This is a story about a person who wants to become the perfect teacher."

Progress on chapter 2:
-Script completed
-95% CGs completed
-Started making episodes
-Finished episode 1
Let's work harder! I hope ch2 can be released soon!
Below, long hair style doodle!
I'm running out of things to give for updates because it's all spoilers now... Please imagine a really cool and expertly drawn corpse!! Now imagine a really cool and expertly animated execution!!!!!!
I haven't made that second thing yet.
54% finished
I apologize. While I tried to write some points of clarification on the past episode, it seems like it just made people more confused, so I'll delete it.
I'm releasing 2 "bonus episodes" sometime soon. "Bonus episodes" are extra content that features backstory and various sides of characters that aren't otherwise seen in DRDT.
The attached drawing is for interest and has nothing to do with the bonus episodes.
I finished writing the script for ch2 a while ago. But I still need to revise and make assets so it will be a while before I start making episodes. Ch2 is a bit longer than ch1 hope that’s okay.
Just an update is boring so here is a comic I made (1/2)
Here are some of the new sprites. And I completed another episode. I'm roughly 38% progress, although at this current rate, chapter 2 will probably release in 2023
That seems pretty far off... Maybe I'll think of more bonus content to entertain you in the mean time.
All of chapter 1 is completely done, except for the execution. Once that is done, it will be ready for release.
Again, thanks for your patience in waiting. The next time you hear from me should be a release date.
I wrote a progress report here, so please read it:
TL;DR: Chapter 2 of DRDT will be released in 2 parts, rather than all at once. It seems likely that Part 1 can be released in early/mid 2023, *but there is still a chance it won’t come out that early.*
Today marks 3 years since the prologue was released. I'm very grateful towards everyone who has supported DRDT during these times. I'll keep working hard, as always❗
(I don't have a special illustration prepared today, I'm sorry, it's been very busy... But 3 snails = 3 years)
Recently a very good and high-quality fanganronpa (Danganronpa F: Shattered Hope) released the first episode of their chapter 1. If you haven't already, please take the time to check it out!

I passed 10,000 subscribers on Youtube ‼ Thank you‼
I was very nervous starting out. But everyone is so nice, I feel like slowly but surely I'm coming out of my shell 🐣
I think that Xander's eye color might have been confusing. It changes colors, like a mood ring.
Xander's eye having different colors is just stylism on the artist's part and (probably) is not how it's seen in-universe.
75% done with the trial. I’m happy about the progress! Maybe the trial will be complete soon. Even though there are a lot of things that still need to be done, I’ll do my best to finish chapter 1 for you as fast as I can.
Chapter 1 of Danganronpa: Despair Time will begin release on January 22nd.
Need a refresher on the prologue? Watch this:
Just want to hear the voice actors in action? Watch:
I almost didn't notice, but today marks exactly a year since the prologue's release. I didn't know that I would last for a year, so I'm surprised!
Please continue to support DRDT for yet another year!
Sorry, I forgot about this account!
I work on ch1 every day, so progress as usual. About 48% done. Still aiming for a fall release, but it may be pushed back. I'll do my best.
Chapter 1 has around 60 (?) CGs in it. Here's one of them.
Reminder: As courtesy to others, when posting DRDT fan-videos on YouTube, please keep the title and THUMBNAIL of the video free of spoilers.
The next episode will be released on Friday as usual, but from now on, premieres may be posted later in the week instead of immediately.
Some things:
- To everyone requesting English subtitles on CH2: Sorry! I've been so busy! I'll get around to it one day, I promise!
- The last episode in P1 will say, in the episode, that it's the last episode in P1. It will be obvious when P1 is over.
As previously stated, the operation of DRDT fan-servers is only permitted under the condition that an age limit of 16+ is enforced.
It is also considered a violation of this requirement to look the other way when young people are evidently in the server.
I'm half an episode away from completing the daily life, so I decided to post a preview. I cobbled together the trailer in a few minutes, so don't take it too seriously
I want to say I'll finish chapter 2 in early-mid 2023, but we'll see
The daily life and investigation portions are complete (and have been for some time now).
I have written a longer post on what's going on with the development of this project for anyone who is interested: ()
*The results of this poll will not fix the lengths of future episodes; it will just provide a suggestions for my consideration. The lengths of the episodes in the remainder of chapter 2 cannot be changed no matter the result.
By the way, my preference is 15-20 minutes.
It posted just now (sorry, forgot to give the update in advance).
For the time being I'll resume only working on chapter 2. By the way, I'm almost halfway done?!??!? It's progress...
English subtitles have been added for all current and future episodes of chapter 2 part 1.
If there are discrepancies between the captions and the text, it is not intentional. Please let me know if I made any mistakes and I will correct them quickly.
Guidelines on cross-over with other fangans
Brief: Cross-over is not allowed. Do not explicitly reference DRDT in your official work.
