The future of the games at G-Star - Good small-medium sized companies... Part 1
: Through this event, I got to be assured that the quality of games are standardized worldwide. The graphics, the movements, interactions, and the characters... were well embodied on the mobile platform. Some were brilliant.
In other words, the quality I usually see on the games published my major Korean game companies was I saw on the games by the small companies at this G-Star... Somewhat, the quality became a basic for every games should have!!!
The future of games? It can be summarized by those keywords, "Borderless", "Platform free" "Worldwide competition".
1 | Not enough time to see all the details of all the games... there.. |
This day, I've seen the major games and played them. After that, I went to B to B convention halls. And then I've got only 3 hours to see all these games... in which I would see all of them. I expected that there would be about 15 games.. but there were 40 games!!!!
The games were diverse. Some were with brilliant ideas, some were daring and new. And the quality was not bad. It was like boundless competition. Of course, far later there will be small groups of successful companies left like PC games... But now? So amazing... So many different kinds of games...
I felt that, now you can make a game just with 1 notebook computer at home. It's everywhere and not that difficult. Now the market is the world.
Here are the list of the companies I've seen.
Crazy Farm
Coming with a word "VR Ground", which is from 'playground'. As you can guess from the word, VR becomes a playground for kids. And this game is playable by non-HMD players. And the game itself is very simple.
You can download the game here

According to the descriptions on the website, it's game-specialized community which is intended for sharing ideas and knowledge, creating games and educating each other. I've tried this, which was quite simple, comparing with other platform. Of course it's not that easy for kids just to learn. It needs a learning curve. On web site, you can make something to interact here. I saw some possibility here to be used as a educational tools for teachers.

Below is the screenshot
It was like a simplified flash, which I felt after using this. Kids can make something for fun and teachers can make some inter-active teaching materials which can be used online. And also anyone can make something small animation or games...
: The common 3 items connecting puzzle and conquering lands altogether. It needed some thinking power in higher levels. And the theme of the game was good, which is to protect Pelicans polluted by environmental pollution. Quite good and fun game.

A clicker game... I've come to know of this kind of game here. It was about tabbing so fast to complete a mission.... I thought that this might be a good game for players who don't want to be so serious in gaming...
And this kind of games were made many here by this company.
