Gotcha Gotcha Games is preparing to launch RPG Tsukuru U2U, its first PC Tsukuru title with 3D-style P2D graphics, while managing community fallout from a planned forum closure that it reversed after user outcry.
Gotcha Gotcha Games announced RPG Tsukuru U2U on May 21, a new PC entry in the Tsukuru series that uses the Unity engine and a P2D depth expression system to create HD-2D style visuals. The game supports assets from RPG Tsukuru MV and MZ without modification and uses a fixed camera to simplify creation. A map editor demo was shown at BitSummit PUNCH. The series uses the Tsukuru name domestically and keeps the Maker name overseas.
Three weeks later, on June 12, the company reversed a plan to close the Tsukuru Web Forum and RPG Maker Forums. It had initially scheduled the forums for closure and deletion of all content as part of a transition to a new official forum. Widespread criticism from users, who said the shutdown would destroy decades of accumulated community knowledge, assets, and plugins, prompted the reversal. Gotcha Gotcha Games said it is now considering archiving the forums instead.
The two stories show a studio moving forward with a major new product while managing a community relations crisis over preservation of legacy user content. The forum reversal came after the U2U announcement, meaning the company faced backlash on a separate issue from its product launch. No further details about U2U's release date or pricing have been provided.
