Nishino Ryohiro of Kong King, a talent and author, has released the action game “CHIMNEY TOWN” for Roblox. The game is based on the world of the picture book “Poupelle of Town Chimney.” Planning, development, and operation are handled by EbuAction Co., Ltd., and the original story is supervised by CHIMNEY TOWN Co., Ltd.
The game takes place in “Chimney Town,” a town shrouded in smoke. Players board a flying ship and aim to reach an altitude of 4,000 meters. Along the way, players will travel to sunken ships to collect fuel materials and defeat enemies as they climb higher. The game can be played by 1 to 4 people, and players can cooperate with friends. The game is free to play and is available for PC, smartphones, tablets, and consoles. Supported languages are Japanese and English, with other languages supported by Roblox’s standard automatic translation function.
Nishino positions Roblox as a communication space for the next generation of children, and states that it is becoming an entry point where IPs and users first meet. The aim of CHIMNEY TOWN is to allow users to experience the world in a simple way and to spark their interest in the IP “Poupelle of Town Chimney.”
In addition, we are currently running a crowdfunding campaign where supporters can have their names displayed on signs, posters, and small lanterns within the game for one year. The target amount is 500,000 yen, and we have already raised 310,000 yen. There are four types of rewards available, ranging from 30,000 yen to 150,000 yen, and all of them have a limited number of slots. The supporters’ names will be designed to look like fictional shop names that match the game’s world and will appear in the game’s townscape.
