A FANTASTIC Danganronpa Fangame | Project: Eden’s Garden - Prologue Review & Dev Interview

[@NezumiVA]

As for the time-honored pinned comment question: What's your favorite fangame/fan project of all time, and why? (Doesn't have to be Danganronpa related, but it can be!)

[@decayingfairy3996]

Currently? SDRA2 or Lapse, yes they’re the only two fangane series I’ve seen but they’re very good

[@Redberd36]

Did you happen to play the game early? Or is this a placeholder video type deal before you make the real one?

[@SilverBulletBill21]

So far the ones I have seen are Lapse and both of the another games and I liked all of them

[@The_Humbugg]

Lapse and DRA another are up there tbh… for fan games in general probably Pokémon brick bronze LMAO

[@mellomanic6767]

my least favorite part of the series has always been the first victim never getting much screentime so i really like the prologue involving a mock trial that allows you to see more of everyone

[@99percentOrangeJuice33]

That’s what makes me think the ultimate producer is going to die first

[@TrulySomeone]

@@99percentOrangeJuice33 i’ve love mark and all but sadly i think he’ll die too. i’m hoping he’s not the first victim at least!!

[@enbie_pal]

@@99percentOrangeJuice33 I could be wrong, but following Danganronpa logic I think Kai and Eva are going to be our chapter 1 case. I think Eva is going to be the victim and Kai the killer. But I can be wrong. This fan game prides itself on being unorthodox. They have guaranteed that chapter 3 will not have a double murder, and a muscular will not die in chapter 4. This could open the door to numerous possibilities! We could have a double murder in chapter 1, more than 2 victims, a killer surviving execution, multiple endings, or the spotless arriving at the wrong conclusion. Depending on what direction they take, the game could be extremely hard to predict. The only rule we have gotten so far from the prologue is the game will end if there is 1 blackened or 2 spotless.

The fact that they had a mock-trial where even the first victim participate is something I wish Danganronpa done it. Not to mention that wrong answers are fully voiced and everyone alongside the protagonist talk during the closing argument.

Late comment but the fact that all characters help someway or another a lot more then the average dangan character

[@chabashira3]

This isn't exactly related to the prologue but my god words cannot describe how much I LOVE the "__ students remaining" art. It really makes them all feel like they care about each other. They're all talking and smiling (exempt from a few characters) and it's going to be heartbreaking seeing them slowly blank out. I also wonder if the art will change over time? Will some characters start to smile and talk as well as they warm up to the group? Will some characters frown and look lonely if the character they were friends with/talking to dies? Sorry I'm just so fixated on the Surviving Members art it's just so cool and creative to me

[@clover.8147]

Indeed, it's so cuteeee

[@maddie0867]

Oh my God someone finally mentioned this. The students remaining art is literally the cutest thing and like you also mentioned its going to be really heartbreaking to see more than half of them disappear from that art. I also hope their faces and expression changes when the next person to them dies. I cant stop talking about this art and all the potential it can have. I dont know i just really like it🤭

[@thespeedyyoshi]

“I can see Wolfgang being a great ally…” Honestly, I see it the exact opposite way. To me, because we’re playing as the “antagonist” or at least that type of character, Wolfgang seems to be our direct opposite, and is likely the “protagonist” to the character we play as. Especially with how the end of the prologue class trial is set up, it feels more like they’ll constantly be direct enemies than anything else, even if that is for the reason of Wolfgang being (seemingly) so kind and gentle at heart.

[@echo8844]

his sprites look like they could easily have a more crazed or hysterical expression even in the same poses. i adore him and he's probably my favorite so far. almost all my favorites in the official series have either murdered, attempted murder, or murder someone themselves, (except naegi yay) so the fact i love wolfgang already makes me fear he will end up with the same fate.

[@JoshArtisto]

I agree. I'm also suspicious of Wolfgang since his design is wolf in sheep's clothing.

[@thespeedyyoshi]

@@JoshArtisto i get that, and truthfully I’m worried too. But wolf in sheeps clothing is a little obvious in my opinion. I have a feeling they might flip that. Maybe make him a Sheep in wolf’s clothing. That could be a fun twist haha

[@JoshArtisto]

@@thespeedyyoshi Yeah I also considered that as well haha.

[@thelexicon7294]

Yeah, something about those sprites and the "getting a little bit heated about doling out due justice" gave me Komaeda war flashbacks. But nobody in their right mind would just lift Komaeda wholesale, that would be way too easily recognizable. I have faith that these devs will do something fresh and interesting with him.

[@AaronL0905]

Honestly I am glad to see a DanganRonpa fanproject actually come to something instead of kinda happening and then disappearing from the face of earth

[@Wince_Media]

54:40 as someone writing a fangan-thing, I can really relate to Sozzay talking about how writing the mystery is like solving the mystery yourself. Recently I've been struggling how to prove one of my killers as the killer, and then I came up with an ingenious way, and this has happened multiple times

[@Christian-gr3gu]

Bro share your story man

[@Wince_Media]

@@Christian-gr3gu fun fact, I'm actually planning on doing just that in a video since I feel kind of burnt out from writing it. I have written the scripts for the prolouge, the chapter 1 daily life, the chapter 1 trial, and the chapter 2 trial (weird order, I know), but as I've gained interest in doing other things, I'm planning on sharing the story for the whole thing

[@saifuusuri]

The pathos mechanic is a mix of white noise and absorbing, but it also seems to have a little bit of the lying mechanic from V3 in there as well. That is, the fact that the pathos is optional and deciding whether or not to use it opens up small branching paths and alternate dialogue. From the way the pathos tutorial is worded however, it seems like they're *always* optional. Most of V3's lies were optional yes, but there were some mandatory lies here and there. The pathos tutorial mentions that you can always progress the debate with pure logic though.

[@MIAM_MIAM_CUISINE]

I kind of hope that's the case, tbh as much as I loved the idea of an Ultimate Debater character using emotional arguments to progress the trial over logical ones at times *in theory*, in practice I've never been a huge fan of the Flashback Bullets mechanic in practice & I found the mechanic kind of clunky to use during the demo personally

[@Cardboard449]

@@MIAM_MIAM_CUISINE you should let them know in their devlogs (or wherever else they check for feedback) then, if you haven’t

[@sleepyxzzx4762]

when i played peg, i went through the logic route for the nonstop debate where the pathos logic was provided, both because my computer was WAY too laggy for me to both absorb the statement and shoot it with the allotted time, and also because the logic was just easier for me to grasp. i was really confused when other people mentioned using the pathos statement because it didnt occur to me at the time that there was more than path to take. the different options likely wont amount to much more than an some extra dialogue, but it does open up an idea of choice where visual novel detective games dont usually give you much.

[@endplanets]

You know its going to be good because even the title is informative: Eden's Garden. The Garden of Eden was full of animals who could talk (or at least the snake could). All the antagonists so far are animals... and all of the Ultimates have animal elements on their clothing. And our protag has a snake tie.

[@jessicalaplant9306]

I absolutely adore how jet has a seatbelt tail. Like such good design

[@kheechuu]

The prologue has definitely made its mark in such a brilliant and charming way, the interview segment of this video especially highlights how passionate and humble the team is to work together on this project and continue to grow as it progresses.

honestly their points about the stereotypes surrounding fangames is completely true. i hate to admit it now, but when i heard only the prologue was done i was thinking "oh this will probably be the only chapter for years and might just get dropped forever" but hearing how hardworking, passionate, and dedicated the team behind it is, im honestly super excited it sounds like the game will be free, and they arent acception any donations, which is even more impressive to me. im sure a game this polished can't be cheap to produce, and i really admire them sticking to their values. im eagerly awaiting the full game and im cheering everyone working on the project on!! thank you guys for taking the time and effort to show love towards the original games and the fanbase ❤

[@Maplestarknight]

I am losing it at how cute Jett is, he has a SEATBELT TAIL. I hope he gets away with murder ❤

[@binkiebrew]

BTW it's such a breath of fresh to see poc especially a black character. I really hope Desmond doesn't get killed early on. I hope him and Wenona survive at least till ch4

[@echo8844]

yes i noticed the diversity as well! while danganronpa has a japanese cast in the original series, the representation for other ethnicities and skin tones was offensive at worst, and lacking at best. i appreciated that the two visibly brown/black characters have their own character traits and arent reduced to stereotypes (thinking about the ultimate farmer and angie from the original series here, i found their designs to be quite uncomfortable) and at least one, desmond, is visibly black or part black (judging by his hair being locked). while i do think it's important for tan/brown japanese people to also get representation, it kinda sucks that almost all the representation in dr is of a single ethnicity (barring the previous examples). i also noticed there was a fat character whos main focus isnt food or being gross/a pervert. she seems quite sweet. we also havent had any fat female characters (unless im forgetting someone) and i love that we get to see one in a fan game ❤ very excited for this project

Hot damn, that's an incredibly good looking game! This being made for zero money is both amazing and a shame. Amazing because, well, look at it and a shame because if money was involved Chunsoft might go all AM2R on it. Hopefully it can be seen through to the end on passion because it'd be a shame for it to end up in the "amazing potential never realized" bin.

[@shiromatsunoki]

I've never really played any fangames at all. None of the ones I saw really interested me. They would get me into the series they were a fan project of and the main titles instead of the fan work. But after seeing what Eden's Garden has to offer, I'm really excited to play it for myself soon, it's really promising!

[@10carflo22]

I have to agree with the non stop debates killing the frame rate. The only other area that was even close to that bad was the open garden but that was still fine. The nonstop debates were so hard because I had to replay over and over just to hit the weak spots, missing 95% of my shots.

[@francisfatta]

I didn’t think you’d be covering this, but I’m glad. This new game is gonna be awesome!

[@AnimeSimp234]

Sozzay is very well spoken. It's easy to see how they're the lead writer for the game.

[@whym6438]

I think the idea of a quiet, introverted music producer nicknamed "Mayhem" is actually pretty believable, and I kinda relate to him.

[@biscuitporkasmealchoice6741]

Glad someone else had an issue with having to walk so close to things to interact with them. I thought I was going insane for a moment, remembering how close you needed to be in the official games. But otherwise, I am floored by how incredible this project is! It really avoids the pitfalls of many fan projects I've played and even the mainline games. Most importantly for me, the game seems to have a very clear idea of what it wants to accomplish thematically already, one of my largest worries with any visual novel. Plus, I'm not sure if I've really seen anything else that feels like it has such a well rounded cast of characters that can actually intertwine in interesting ways! Everything is so incredibly filled with potential that my only worries with this game are silly theoreticals with how they might be squandered, which makes me all the more happy to hear how there's a fairly extensive writing team for this project.

[@KaiboStudios]

10:56 If Jett dies, I'm going to freaking cry. Please protect him! He is the goodest boi!

Just played the Prologue for myself, and I really quite love it! ^^ No spoilers, but the characters are all delightfully entertaining in their own ways, and the technical side of things did well in preserving that DR gameplay feel. This was a joy to listen to, thanks to everyone involved in making it. :)

[@maxiargos1971]

I just heard about the drop of the game and got really happy of it. Then later in the day today I watched some random vtuber on twitch play the game, and it turns out he voiced one of the characters. I think it was the ultimate marksmen? I need to check again. So that was a nice to see along with this video! So glad you covered it!

[@Jivetalkin13]

I like that they all have some sort of animal motif going on with them.

[@jensewas]

Yes, playing the prologue i thought jett sounded like scooby doo. Definitely intentional since his helmet is dog related.

[@0ctaviaPony]

I would like a mouse sensitivity setting for the exploration sections but the game is honestly incredible so far. Its far and beyond above what I would expect from a fan game. They've gone all out to really make this feel like a Danganronpa. Also I'll say, without going into specific details. Ive noticed things that feel very off in the story that intrigue me and I've already got a theory about it.

[@Ldawgerino]

Would be intrigued to hear the theory:)

[@benign_canine3423]

I'm actually really fascinated to see the writers' inspirations in this project, some of these definitely got me both intrigued and excited for what's to come. Definitely interesting to see just what inspires people and how they carry that work with them

"we dont want a on the meat bone incident" me thinking about how in their own prologue trial i knew what they wanted me to say but not how to get there and my connections made sense to me but were wrong and then i eventually gave up and went through the whole list idk if im alone in that though. the trial's logic wasnt hard (it was extremely simple really) but i didnt know how they wanted me to convey the info right lol

[@aegisblze]

Damon is the Master Debater

[@cblazerc]

Before I played through the prologue, I thought Eva would definitely be an early death. Now I'm having second thoughts about that, but maybe it's just bias speaking (she's one of my favs, alongside Damon and Ulysses).

[@jaydenlobbe7911]

Considering how the game is called Eden's Garden and her name is one letter off from Eve while Damon's got that Snake Motif going on and his name is one letter off from Demon, I do doubt they're going to kill her off so soon, especially when the Prologue seemingly implies a conflict with Damon and Eva against everyone else

[@cblazerc]

@@jaydenlobbe7911 but they said they won't do the tropes, and Eva dying first would be following one of the tropes.

[@jaydenlobbe7911]

​@@cblazerc I said I doubt they're gonna kill Eva off so soon, not the other way around I think it would also be a waste to kill her first because Class Trials would definitely be more interesting if she's alive, especially if she's one of the suspects

[@JoshArtisto]

I'm always impressed with these kinds of fan games due to the sheer amount of detail and quality they are for not being a paid product. And one thing that made me love the Danganronpa series is the music. And I was impressed with the music in Eden's Garden which made me happy. It's just a little bittersweet that it releases in episodes because the wait for the next part is always going to be rough because I want more! lol

[@josephm.1237]

One sonic video and then back to Danganronpa. Funny how life works sometimes

[@NezumiVA]

Lol, blame the generosity of the devs! We'll be back out of DR zone again right after.

[@Spodumene]

Not gonna lie, I spent most of my playthrough completely forgetting this was a fangame.

[@kamikaze4311]

Something i love about the mangaronpa section is that it's not only Damon explaining, but also the others. It is that little something that adds more to that sentiment of an united group that will unfortunately get separated with a grim reaper called Death. Cannot play it because my PC is ass, but i did watch the entire prologue and it was very interesting. I know he may not last that long but PLEAAAAAASEEEEEEE let Jett (the ultimate drag racer) live, i love that dog helmet boi.

[@yellowstarproductions6743]

[@baristascallmewolfgang]

Nezumi, I am begging you to look into Your Turn to Die and Zero Escape!!!!! I think you would like them based on your Danganronpa videos, and they are soooo good and have so much to talk about!! The whole part where you are talking about how "wait, i genuinely don't know whats going to happen" is something that I felt strongly when playing these games. They have the added bonus of being a bit less systematic than Danganronpa (especially Zero Escape) and you feel like, scared for the characters throughout. Like "holy shit, wait, are these people gonna die? What the heck is going on??" And while YTTD isnt finished yet, its had some great twists!! Zero Escape is also very interesting because it has some of the wackiest twists, some of which are SO FANTASTIC ...and others which kinda miss (especially in the third game). I think my experience playing those games was similar to how I felt with Danganronpa, just... better lol Edit: And yeah, i forgot to mention, this comment was inspired by the people mentioning these two games as influences btw

[@GameMaster-sh7tr]

6:58 I had the same issue actually, I didn’t record but the text was going much slower at times even though I had the text speed up. It’s mostly likely my computer though, it’s probably just having a little trouble running the game.

[@justcommoncurt]

I haven't quite finished the video, but I had a thought cross my mind while I was binge watching Nezumi's coverage of Danganronpa that I'd like to share as a potentially great Trial 3. Spoilers below for the danganronpa games, so proceed with caution. We really haven't had a good 3rd trial in any of these games but if the third trial *has* to be a double murder I would love if they explored an idea that combines aspects of Celeste/Hifumi's murders in the first game, and mix in some of the murder rules from V3. My idea would go a little something like this. Build up two characters in a budding relationship then have them each go for their own respective murder with the support from the other. The thing about a double murder trial is that you can get away with revealing the killers pretty early on because the trial participants will still need to figure out who committed which murder and picking wrong would still be a fail state. This way you could easily have the two intentionally confess false information to try and lead the investigation in the wrong direction. ...this would be where things could start getting spicy. We can absolutely use Nezumi's idea from V3 Trial 3 to make it so only one of these killers will be punished, and the other essentially getting off Scott free but still stuck in the murder school. With investigators figuring out which crime was committed by which, the case would come down to who killed who first in order to figure out who would be punished and...well, have the two murderers turn on eachother, volunteering facts that hadn't been shared before as well as straight up lies to throw the other under the bus with the added anxiety that one of these proven killers will be getting off scott free with their crime and will be living amongst you for the remainder of the killing game. I feel like this would be fairly solid in terms of gameplay and the tone of absolute despair that these cases seem to bring out in people and changing around the formula of how these trials play out by revealing the killers early would be pretty *chef's kiss* Let me know what you think about this and if there could be any tweak/details that could be changed.

Influencer: Philanthropist, Journalist (maybe like a crazy tabloid guy), Daredevil (like meme challenges) 3. Music Producer (which is fine by itself, but the other tech-savvy talents make it less interesting): Dance Instructor, Beatboxer, Jazzercise Specialist, Disco Dancer

[@thenagito]

I've been wondering... In one of your DR videos (I can't remember which one, I think it's either DR1 or DR2) you made a passing comment about Kingdom Hearts, and I can't help but wonder if you're ever planning to do a retrospective series on that like you did for DR? Obviously not months and months on end for the whole series, because it's like 15 full-length games and that would take WAY too long, but maybe in-between other projects? Just wondering, because Kingdom Hearts and DR are my two favorite video game series of all time.

This might be a personal bias, since he gives me such Wilbur Soot vibes, but I have a very strong feeling that Mark is going to be a crazy killer. Chapter 3 blackened potentially? He seems very quiet, so I feel like him going off the rails is very possible. Then again, that might be too easy, so they might also try to take that concept that seems expected and switch it.

ngl when you said Wilbur Soot vibes my brain immediately went to Ulysses lmao

[@macaronnie8406]

now that you mention it though, i can see Mark somewhat loosing it at a later chapter, probably after Jett dies because they seem like they're gonna have a wholesome and heart wrenching relationship

That, and his animal symbol is an allegator/crocodile (creatures best known as "silent killers" that slowly drag down and suffocate their prey). Theist common theory is that there's going to be a gut wrenching betrayal between him and Jett.

16:20 waaait… OMG THATS A DETROIT BECOME HUMAN REFERENCE!!! 28 Stab wounds is an Iconic catch phrase, Eden devs be cultured FR-

KZbin "translated" this to jeans

[@UhhOlivia]

this legit feels like danganronpa 4, its even better than v3 so far imo

[@twonio]

Wolfgang is really giving me Tsurugi Kinjo vibes (as in from Danganronpa Another) if he was less of an arsehole. I have a feeling Damon might butt heads with him for similar reasons to the conflicts Kinjo caused in DRA

[@gamingdudedonal3312]

Is the 28 stab wounds thing a detroit become human reference? Idk i just saw a clip where the guy said that

[@DARS_04]

16:20 Is that a fucking Detroit: Become Human reference?!
