Tokyo Game Dungeon is without a doubt the most popular indie game event in Japan today.
Representative Mr. Iwasaki himself is an indie game developer, so the event is unique in that it is designed from a developer’s perspective, but as a result, it is a good environment for visitors, and it is a good experience for both exhibitors and visitors. It’s a good event for both parties.
The extremely popular Tokyo Game Dungeon has finally run out of requests to exhibit, and an exhibition has been held exclusively for novel games and student-developed games, called Gaiden.
In this article, we will introduce some of the exhibiting titles and tell you about Tokyo Game Dungeon Gaiden.
The first thing I would like to introduce is “Entrepreneur Fubu – Startup with Nobunaga Oda!?”.
A ported novel game where you learn about startups with Nobunaga Oda. Investors and startup managers are actually involved in the development, and the content is authentic.
The demo version is currently available on Steam, so please give it a try.
Next, I would like to introduce you to the “Criminal Isolation World”, where you wander around a city only for criminals.
“Criminal Isolation World” official website
The first part of episodes 1 to 4 of this title has already been released and can be played on a PC or Android browser, so I would like you to try it out.
This is a novel game with an atmosphere where you come into contact with the truth of various characters in a world where only the consciousness of criminals is confined.
There are also mini-games, so you won’t get bored with this title, and you’ll be interested in what happens next.
The last game we would like to introduce is “On a Summer Night,” a Japanese-style novel game created by Team Wagashi.
It was created by two creators from overseas who are also fluent in Japanese, and a Japanese version of the demo was on display.
It’s a well-crafted novel game set in a nostalgic townscape with a pure Japanese feel, and I’m looking forward to its completion.
You can download the demo version from Steam, so please give it a try.
So, Tokyo Game Dungeon Gaiden had a lot of good games on display, but to be honest, I didn’t get to see many of the booths because it takes a long time to try out novel games.
However, there was a collection of flyers at the venue, so even if you couldn’t play, you could take the information home with you. This kind of consideration is what you would expect from Tokyo Game Dungeon.
According to the organizer, Mr. Iwasaki, the demand for novel games is increasing, and this Gaiden was held in response to multiple requests.
Games have a wide range of genres, and I find subcommittee-like exhibitions like this to be very interesting.
Novel games have relatively few engineering requirements, and are one of the genres that are suitable for non-engineers to start working on as game developers. In terms of authorship, it would be suitable for indie games.
I look forward to holding more novel game exhibitions in the future.
