Stay tuned for all sorts of information about Bakin!

The "Bakin" in RPG Developer Bakin is taken from the name of a writer named Kyokutei Bakin, who was active in Japan in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

His masterpiece is "Nanso Satomi Hakkenden," the greatest full-length novel of adventure in the history of Japanese literature. The story is a tale of eight swordsmen (Hakkenshi), each of whom has a Chinese character of dog in their surname, who gather and fight together guided by the cause of the eight jade compounds they possess: Jin, Gi, Rei, Chi, Chu, Shin, Kou, and Tei.. It is a masterpiece that combines a wealth of exciting ideas with skillful composition, and is famous for being the inspiration for numerous Japanese manga and anime.

We named it RPG Developer Bakin with the hope that it will be a tool that will enable everyone to create wonderful stories like Bakin's in the form of games.

We would like to improve this tool with your feedback in the future.
