Baka is the studio behind the dragon girl raising roguelite DRAPLINE, which is set to launch its full version on September 24, 2026, adding a new mode and 25 new endings.
Baka's central project, DRAPLINE, is a dragon girl raising roguelite that entered early access in June 2025. It carries a 96% positive rating across more than 1,700 Steam user reviews, an Overwhelmingly Positive status, and has sold over 50,000 copies. The full version arrives on September 24, 2026, published by Vaka, and includes a new mode called DRAGON'S DISCIPLINE, unlocked after playing the existing DAYS OF TORNADO mode. This new mode leads to the game's true ending and includes 25 new endings, each with its own illustration, branching based on how the player raised the dragon girl. The new mode is substantial enough that DAYS OF TORNADO appears to be merely the first half of the overall game.
Developer Kanao composed a soundtrack with over 30 tracks for the full release. The price rises from 1,200 yen to 1,680 yen at launch, with a 20% off sale running until August 31. DRAPLINE will also appear at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at the Vaka booth. The studio's name also appears in the title of the anime Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts, which ABEMA streamed for free in August 2026, though the connection to the studio is not stated in these stories. Another story covers a Belle spinoff musical show, but it does not mention Baka as a participant.
