## **Creation and Development**

Danganronpa Mauve was initially announced through the projects blog on June 15, 2019, when Hiro, the creator of Danganronpa Mauve, released the project's synopsis, name, and logo. Later in the year, character profiles for Erika Jumonji, Justin Blade, Hitomi Tadaira, Rintaro Tomoe, Shoji Shinano, and Rion Mikawa were published through the project's blog. Before this, Danganronpa Mauve existed for roughly five years as of February 2020. To create the game Hiro taught himself to use Photoshop and RPG Maker, later using the skills he learnt to create a base game with no illustrations. Throughout 2019 to 2020 Hiro posted multiple recruitment listings for Danganronpa Mauve, later recruiting two illustrators: MT(GUMT) and Carnival(카니발) on March 2020. A recruitment post looking for a video editor was published on February 1, 2021, which later closed on May 2021 when the team recruited Anbis (안비스) and Minn (As of June 2022, Minn withdrew from the team, It was forbidden to use her illustrations).

The demo prologue for Danganronpa Mauve later premiered through the game's blog on May 6, 2022, alongside a standing image of the entire cast. In celebration of the demo's release the team shared fanart from an anonymous fan. A week after the demo's release Team Mauve announced the recruitment of Anizi, alongside a teaser for Satsuki Kanna's splash art. On the same day, the team released an introduction page for the members of Team Mauve. The complete prologue was released on June 30, 2023. The new edition of the prologue introduced additional sprites for the characters, added and updated CG artwork, made edits to the game, added new scenes after the cast meet Monokuma, and introduced a new character.

Production for the first chapter started shortly after the completion of the demo, and ended around August 2023. Around this time the team released a splash art for Ukyo Sarashina, and later completed one for Satoshi Shitanda. Chapter One was released through the game's blog on September 27, 2023. Nozomi's profile was released on the same day. Since its release Team Mauve have continued to update the chapter; fixing errors' reported by fans and more. Just a few months after the release of chapter one Team Mauve introduced Aya (아야) to their team.
