A possible hope of variety of games produced in South Korea?

-

Since early 2010, the Korean gaming industry has been stagnated deeply. While indie game developers struggle to find financial support to keep developing, the bigger game developing company renews their already 10 years old IP with the exact same format of billing and play style.

It has not been changed since the pandemic. Even so, there has been outstanding progress to new trials and development past decade as we all know.

But still, there might be a possible hope that the Korean gaming industry seeks a new and various genre of the game that gamers and different generations can play… very slowly.

If you are a gamer, you might already see gamescom 2021 opening night live. Literally, in that live event, we all can see so much new and exciting content and story of the game that are currently developing and getting ready to be out there.

One of them has caught my eyes. 

It’s not just because the developer is based in South Korea. Their motivation of how it starts to developing is all about generations every human being got through and for family. And it’s DokeV!

As the developers walked through their motivation how to get into this idea for a new world and how a Korean-themed-packed game can be created in the short video here, This game looks what most grown-ups are experienced once or twice through their childhoods. What’s more amazing to watch and interesting is that these Korean elements are almost zero cultural differences to someone who knows zero things about the childhood of ordinary Korean.

More importantly, gamers all around the world could feel like this game is another version of Pokemon in the open world. Like we can call it K-Pokemon. Pokemon has got into almost everyone since it’s released with a different version of content from a child to an adult. If DokeV could capture Pokemon’s generations to generations sensibility and nostalgia for gamers around the world, it could be a hit for a household family game.

My heart still goes to Henry Cavil for the Superman though...

I really didn't have any breath hold when I get into the theater. My superman was the one who was portrayed by Henry Cavil. Still is. But now I can accept the version of Superman that James Gunn gave a life. The Superman has a human heart despite the fact that their biological parents told him to rule human beings. (I should say that I don't fully understand why his biological parents have to become some sort of villans. They didn't portray like this in any other previous Superman movies before.) The Superman has his own way of wits whether his wits come together with people around him. The Superman has ordinary human parents who raised him full of love. His father made my heart warm with a single sentence which is very touching. The Superman has metahuman friends where there was a complete opposite from the previous movies. It also makes him more human being even though he is like the most powerful being in that universe. This version of Superman shows every creature can g...

Valorant the game you may want to play

Riot's first and new FPS game went beta test for NA and EU regions. Before beta test went live, last weekend was boosted by gaming community for Valorant. Twitch teamed up with Riot Games and dropped beta test keys for who watched their famous streamers on Twitch. Today was not the different but there are gamers who still want to have the beta key though. (Obviously the most scapegoat at the moment on Twitch is OW as they are losing their viewer of the games.) I was able to wake up early last weekend and then started to watch DrLupo 's streaming where he answered the chat's various and repeatable questions based on what he played the game. And then he had around an hour's session with two Riot's developers for the game: Game Director: Josh @roitziegler Execute Producer: Jane @riotsupercakes So here are Q&A summary: (If you find any incorrect Q&A here, please correct me.) Beta phase? Riot will distribute more beta keys as time goes by. (한국에선 언제하...
