Super Shark

Super Shark is running a free beta test of RPG-Cobo, an open-source 3D RPG development tool, through early access planned for autumn 2026.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 10

Super Shark announced RPG-Cobo, a 3D RPG development tool that requires no programming knowledge. A free beta test began June 5, 2026, and runs until an early access launch planned for autumn. The tool supports high-resolution voxel graphics, PBR rendering, global illumination, a voxel map editor, an event editor, database functions, and AI-powered translation. Completed games can export to Windows, web, iOS, and Android.

RPG-Cobo is led by Yutaka Owada, a CyberStep founder who worked on GetAmped and Onigiri. The tool is fully open-source and commercially usable, placing it in a crowded field of game-making tools with a focus on modern graphics features and accessibility for indie developers.

The two stories, published five days apart, both cover the same announcement. The later story adds the detail that RPG-Cobo is open-source and led by Owada, while the earlier story emphasizes the no-programming-required pitch. No other projects or updates from Super Shark are mentioned in the provided stories.
