"It’s been hard to keep a secret"

A new retro-style JRPG called Tako no Himitsu has been announced, boasting an impressive line-up of developers from notable franchises. Deneos Games is leading the charge, following their successful title Save Me Mr Tako.

The game will feature music by Motoi Sakuraba and Masanori Hikichi. Scheduled to launch on Kickstarter on July 10th, the project is anticipated to captivate JRPG enthusiasts.

What are your thoughts on the involvement of such experienced developers in a Kickstarter project? Would you support this game to see it through development?

    Really misleading headline.

    Motoi Sakuraba (Golden Sun) and Masanori Hikichi (Terranigma) are both on-board to create music for the game

      Yes, the headline feels very disingenuous. They are working with composers from those games… I don’t feel they are going to have the same influence some game designers would have had.

      Yeah, if they’re the only people from these games involved, that’s more than a bit ridiculous.

      This game involves staff from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Namco’s Tales, Shining Force, Mario Golf and Star Ocean!

      Also, that’s just one person and he makes music.

        I absolutely love Terranigma, it’s one of my all time favorite RPGs, but I don’t think the soundtrack was particularly noteworthy, especially compared to all the great things that game had to offer.

        The really interesting things about that game were the combat and the whole world creation & development that you did.
