ULTRA DANGANRONPA: Heaven of Despair

Ultra Danganronpa: Heaven of Despair is a fan-made, original story inspired by the Spike Chunsoft's DANGANRONPA directed by Kazutaka Kodaka. This story will be presented in the form of a web-series on Youtube.This story features brand new characters, a new location and an entirely original storyline that takes place in the canonical DANGANRONPA universe (specifically DR1/THH). However, there will be no direct connection to the canonical plot or characters. This project aims to tell its own story in a unique style, exploring new possibilities and put a whole different spin on the original formula.

Hello! This seems really interesting so I was wondering if I could get the link to this? I can’t find it anywhere...

If you’re asking for a link to our episodes, then, in this case, we don’t have any yet. Our story hasn’t been officially launched, and we’re not planning to do so anytime soon just yet. This project is still in development and there are many things left to do, we’ll put our episodes out only once we’re ready. In the meantime, we’ll be gradually posting updates on this project’s development through our social media. You can also join our Discord server to contact us and meet with the community. It’s also the place where we release the most frequent amount of updates.

Quando vão realmente mandar o vol 1?

I’m sorry that I can’t reply in the same language. From what I can understand from your question, you’re asking when or where we’re going to release our first episode. Right now, everything’s still in development and we don’t have plans to release any episodes anytime soon. There is still a lot to prepare for and we want this project to be completely ready first. Once we start releasing the story, they’ll all be on our Youtube channel and an announcement will be made through all of our social media. I hope that answers your question, and sorry in advance if I misunderstood anything due to mistranslation.

Isnit just me or does Gotaro look dofferent in the cast lineup picture? Sorry if I'm bothering ya it's just something I noticed 😅

Ah, yes. Gotaro has been through another redesign.

A lot has been going on within the project and this character in particular has been going through a ton of shifts in visual direction. He’s barely recognizable compare to what he originally started with. It’s crazy, isn’t it? Things have evolved over time and the old aesthetics we’ve given him isn’t really aligned with the project’s vision anymore, so I have to make a decision.

The new style won’t be to everyone’s taste, but it’s what I think is the best for this story onward. I hope everybody will give it a chance!

More sprite's transition animation experimentation.

Apologies for the absence of posts lately. Things have gotten quite busy, but we've been making progress! Here are some of the work-in-progress sprite animations.

Hello there I’m a new viewer of this ongoing Danganronpa project you are making. First and foremost I really love the cast the artist did such an amazing job second of all the animation looks very promising and the story plot seems very engaging already. Reminds me a lot like Danganronpa 3 and a bit of the novel series like Killer-Killer which I love so yeah... I wish you all the luck in bringing this project to life take as much time as you need because you got yourself a patient new supporter

Hey there, new fan! Welcome to the project! I’m glad you’re liking what we have here so far. It’s not much right now, but we’re doing our best. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and support. It’s really what get this project going. I can say for certain that there’s going to be a lot of progress being made in the next year to come. Everything’s looking better for us more than ever.

hii!! I’m really loving this project so far and can’t wait to see it progress more, I just wanted to ask if you can provide the discord link please? (If it’s open to public of course!)

We do have our own official Discord server for the project! It’s where all of our content and updates will be archived. It’s also a place where the staff, including me, regularly hang out to interact with people in the community. I’d encourage you to join, especially since this is where we would put out the most frequent amount of updates. You can join the server right now through this link below. https://discord.gg/NG56GAw

Also, what does it mean by having 'Judgement' as a talent? Is it basically critique or something else entirely? Just wondering.

We’ll keep that up for speculation for now and we’re going to get that answer together later down the line when the story has been unfolded :)

[heavennozetsubou]

Can I just say y'all's art is INCREDIBLE??? It looks like it could be from an official Danganronpa series!!!

Thank you! We aim for quality content in our series, and we’re doing our best to make it to be the best we can manage.

Here is a small preview of our development on the Visual Novel presentation aspect of our HoD project. Overall, things are coming along nicely!

[heavennozetsubou]

We've been working on a lot of things behind the scene these past months. We can't go into detail right now since they're not ready yet. However, we can show you some of our WIP footage.

[heavennozetsubou]

We're back!

We're very sorry for being absent for so long. We're now going to be resumed to posting again!

[heavennozetsubou]

Just looking at the visuals, woah. You should make an animated series at this point lol

We wish we could turn this series into fully animated show, that would be amazing! But since we’re just a small team of independent creators, we have to make compromises.

[heavennozetsubou]

We're back with our weekly character profile!

We're still currently making progress behind the scene. It's not very easy right now with works and schools starting to come back up again, but we're going somewhere with it.
