Old School Gamer Magazine interviewed BOKURA: planet developer Tokoronyori to discuss the retro adventure/puzzle game with retro visuals. The sequel, BOKURA: planet, is set to launch on PC via Steam in early 2025. Developer tokoronyori and publisher Kodansha Game Creators’ Lab present a two-player-only space journey that takes a unique twist after crash-landing on a mysterious red planet. Players must communicate via voice chat to solve bi-dimensional puzzles.
BOKURA: planet is designed for two players on separate devices, offering a collaborative experience where players navigate through challenges without seeing each other’s screens. The game draws inspiration from analog games like murder mysteries and tabletop RPGs, translating the enjoyment of these games into digital form.
During development, Tokoronyori faced challenges with past code lacking comments, making it difficult to understand certain features. Nevertheless, the developer persevered and gathered inspiration from sci-fi novels like Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Despite the crowded marketplace, Tokoronyori aims to create a unique and engaging experience for a niche group of players. The developer’s past experiences as a solo game developer have been crucial in bringing BOKURA: planet to life, emphasizing the importance of creating immersive experiences for players.
Looking ahead, Tokoronyori plans to continue creating unique games that offer new experiences to players. The developer hopes that BOKURA: planet will leave a lasting impact on players’ gaming experiences. Players are encouraged to wishlist the game and look forward to its release for an amazing gaming experience.
