TYPE-MOON Studio BB

[Comun]

The best comparison I can come up with is Too Kyo Games.

Too Kyo	Studio BB
Formed with 7 experienced members in 2017	Formed with 7 experienced members in 2019
Initial line-up of projects was 1 anime, 1 small game, 1 medium game, 1 big game, and 1 gacha franchise.	Initial line-up of projects was 1 small game, 1 medium game, and 1 big game (the medium game is a remake)
Took 3 years to release the small game, a smaller game that wasn't in the initial line-up of projects, and the anime.	Took 3 years to release a trailer for the medium game
Took 5 years to release the anime prologue of the gacha franchise.	Took 5 years to develop the medium game mostly in silence about it.
Took 6 years to release the medium game (it was pretty unpolished imo).	Haven't taken 6 years yet.

Yeah. This entire fandom is cooked.

Genuinely curious, is it normal for a game development studio to not release any single product for 5+ years since its inception?

ill assume this is just a visibility issue, and theres plenty of 5 year or older game studios that didnt put out any product but we dont know of them so they fly under the radar, unlike Studio BB which launched itself by advertising itself with a game trailer in a series we care about

[Kotonoha]

Advertising things that they have barely started working on is an homage to the TM Ace 1 Tsukire/Mahoyo/Girls Work triple announcement. The true Type-Moon spirit.

No, not really. Most game studios cannot release nothing for 5 years and expect to still receive funding.

[Lighthot]

Oh yeah, Studio BB has 2 other games they're working on. I kind of forgot about that

depends where you think the funding comes, spending time working on other studios games, who the hell tracks down ALL the companies in the credits.

as for Studio BB, i`d have to check all the game credits but does Studio BB really not appear on the credits of Tsuki-Re and new Mahoyo, when they even roped in Delightworks/Lasengle to work on them

[abdu11]

Niino explicitly said in an old interview that his team has nothing to do with TM's own internal projects like Tsukihime remake and that he is the same as other players when it comes to that. And no, they aren't credited in the remake and Mahoyo HD's credits from what I remember.

It's from the first post Niinou made about the new studio. He say he created Studio BB to make 3 games. In production order, they are:

1) Mid-sized project. Produced in association with another company. Closely related to a pre-existing Type-Moon title. Development started in August 2019.
2) Small project. Produced entirely by Studio BB staff. Brand new title set in the Type-Moon canon. Development predicted to start in January 2020.
3) Large project. Produced in association with the main Type-Moon studio. Original Type-Moon-based title, not canon. Development planned to start after the conclusion of the first two projects because those are being used to get the team trained and familiriazed with how Type-Moon works, but 2019 Niinou predicts he can get the large project released in 2024 or 2025 (well-aged comment).

1 was later revealed to be EXTRA Record, if it wasn't clear enough.

[Lighthot]

Watch the small project get released years after they finish developing Extra Record

unfortunately for Ninou, turns getting the team familiarized with Typemoon , as in reading all the typemoon content, takes years

Wonder if Studio BB will be handling all games, including the VNs now with the parent just being a holding company

[Petrikow]

They won't.

[Noa]

This is in like 20 minutes isn't it

[fumei]

I assume a stream or something since there's no way they just shadowdrop the game like this, but there isn't any stream up on BB's youtube channel or anything either.

[Noa]

I assumed it would be a trailer.

[Comun]

The coming soon tweet only says "Fate/EXTRA Record".

[Spheromancer]

Well, whatever it is, we'll find out soon.
