THE DEV ROOM

This Grasshopper Archives web series follows the jobs and antics of GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE. The series is published on YouTube in both Japanese and English. The earliest episodes censored most works-in-progress, although future episodes were more lenient, such as showing the practical model and artwork for a monster from ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN. The most recent episodes have returned to obscuring gameplay footage as ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN reaches its final stages of development.

Episodes

Nomenclature

• 突撃！開発ルーム (Totsugeki! Kaihatsu Rūmu, meaning Charge! Development Room)

Notes

• Similar to the 47th episode of THE DEV ROOM, which featured a fan visit from Deuffman, another visit from Paradise Hotel 51‘s Funny Man was shot and edited for the 49th episode. While GRASSHOPPER clarified both times that these guests had booked in advance, the episode was ultimately shelved due to concerns over a growing number of unsolicited visits from fans. The episode’s release was delayed from February 1, 2025, until its cancellation was confirmed on February 7. Eventually, a different 49th episode was released on June 19, 2025.
