Joe Chen
Joe Chen currently serves as a game director at Akatsuki Taiwan Inc., and has been in the industry for 14 years, working on multiple well-known MMORPGs. After the rise of mobile games, he now focuses on globalization and operations, but he is still a hardcore developer deep in his heart, hoping to create a great game from Taiwan that can be popular all over the world someday.
The Differences of The Dev Process Between Taiwan and Japan
The video game industry in Japan dominated the console game market in the past, but then struggled through the era of MMOs. How did they recover from that and regain massive successes on the current mobile game market?
After working in Taiwan-based studios for 10 years, Joe switched to Japanese game studios, and observed similarities and differences in how Taiwanese and Japanese studios approach game development. He will talk about his experience, in the hope of giving more perspectives and insights into the matter, and how Taiwanese game developers can approach the Japanese market.
