TOKYO, JAPAN – September 1, 2021 – Japanese indie game creator community asobu will premiere their second-annual Asobu Indie Showcase in English and Japanese on Twitch and YouTube (embeddable direct link for premiere) today, shining a spotlight on current and upcoming titles from Japanese indie developers. The video also features localized Western indies already available or coming soon to Japan, promoting indie games in general to a market where they've gained a real foothold and increasing awareness in recent years.
A full list of games featured in the video can be found at the Showcase website, asobu-events.dev, or again by watching it (of course!) on asobu's YouTube or Twitch channels. Additional showcases are planned for the future.
With introductions to more than 60 different games in both Japanese and English, interspersed with messages from the games' creators themselves (and a few surprises), the video demonstrates the volume and variety of the vibrant Japanese indie dev community that asobu is working to support.
Those interested in the Japanese Indie community and / or their games are encouraged to check out asobu's website, and join their growing Discord community where they can meet other creators and fans.
Asobu is a not-for-profit community organization designed to support independent game creators in Japan. It’s made possible by generous contributions from our supporters: Kodansha, Kowloon Nights, PlayStation, and ID@Xbox.
