Tokyo, Japan (via the Web) – Our digital world tour in 2021 didn’t stop in Europe! Just a month after our virtual trip to Germany, the vertwo team set our sights on the absolute heart of the Asian gaming and pop culture industry: the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2021.

From Thursday, September 30th to Sunday, October 3rd, 2021, Co-Founders Marco Armando and Jimmy Primadi logged into TGS 2021 ONLINE. The legendary event was celebrating its massive 25th anniversary with a primarily virtual format, and we made sure our studio was right there in the digital mix.

Why TGS?

When you think of top-tier storytelling, breathtaking art styles, and legendary character designs, Japan is always at the forefront. For a creative studio like vertwo, expanding our network into the Japanese ecosystem is an absolute must.

Marco and Jimmy utilized the TGS Business Matching System to connect directly with international developers, publishers, and fellow creators. The goal? To sniff out new business partners, discover fresh IPs from the Indie Game Selected Exhibit, and explore collaborative opportunities to bridge the gap between webtoons, animation, and video games.

The Digital Vibe

TGS 2021 ONLINE was a nonstop stream of inspiration. Even though we were shaking hands through screens instead of walking the iconic halls of Makuhari Messe, the energy was electric. Between watching the official exhibitor showcases and jumping into targeted virtual meetings, our founders gained invaluable insights into where the global entertainment market is heading next.

Whether it’s finding the perfect indie game to adapt into our next hit webtoon or learning how interactive media is evolving, our virtual trip to Tokyo was a massive win for the team. Stay tuned, our global hustle never stops!
