How much different is Donkey Konga compared to Taiko? Wouldn't it have been simpler to adjust already existing tools (i.e osu) to export to whatever proprietary format Donkey Konga uses instead of making an entire new editor and reinventing the wheel?

Admittedly, this may be a disappointing answer: when I started working on Konga Beat, I didn't fully grasp the extent of the rhythm game modding scene. I was so excited to make a dedicated editor that I just went for it.

Only when I was deep into working on Konga Beat did I discover editors like Moonscraper and Peepo Drum Kit. Even then, I was having so much fun working on Konga Beat that I wanted to see it to completion.
