• “We are developing R-TYPE FINAL2 using Unreal Engine 4. The screenshots and videos you can see on our Kickstarter campaign page are also what have been produced using Unreal Engine 4.”

• “We are currently trying to solicit cooperation from the sound creators of the first R-Type, asking for them to participate in this project. We we will talk to many other creators who have involved in the development of the past R-Type series.”

• “As with the previous R-TYPE series, the player can freely change the speed of his/her machine while playing the game. In addition, we will continue to adjust the speed of bullets and the movement of the Bydo to be close to the those in the past R-Type titles.”

• “We are sorry to inform you that we do not have the rights to the past R-type series titles.”

• “If we can successfully finalize R-Type Final 2, we will be able to start thinking about the further development of the franchise.”
