Developed by Tokyo Virtual Theory and led by former PATAPON director Hiroyuki Kotani, the upcoming rhythm game RATATAN officially launched its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign today. Surprisingly, the campaign reached its initial target of 20 million yen within just one hour. This initial goal is intended for the development of the PC platform version, with subsequent funding targets include 50 million yen for an online mode and 75 million yen for a version compatible with consoles.
RATATAN is led by Hiroyuki Kotani, with Nelnal as the illustrator, and Kenmei Adachi (also worked on PATAPON) as the composer. The game's content is expected to be richer compared to PATAPON, with the classic rhythm action gameplay being continued while incorporating various new elements, including more randomness and fresh mechanics, as well as introducing new characters.
