Dear indie-developers,
I am a exchange student living in Seoul heavily gearing my education towards the gaming industry. I have recently attended the G-NEXT Game Jam.. It’s a game jam that was organized (or subsidized) by the Korean Government at the Startup Campus in Pangyo Gyeonggi-do, South-Korea. The theme of the gamejam was SUMMER STORY. I must say that the games that I saw at the game jam were quite amazing. All of them looked really good and many of them were true to the theme of the gamejam.

Miss Tsunami is a game were you play The Demon Lord, who happens to be a cat. You are a master of tsunami’s and it’s your job to destroy the city of HaeWoonDae. It was super satisfying to see the wave hit as many buildings as possible. I thought it was a nice touch that The Demon Lord was a cat, because we all know that catz = ev0l. I loved it.

Mosquito VR is an game that is really funny and has mosquito’s as the main theme. It’s a VR game were you are a mosquito that is trying to suck the blood out of a human. You hide in and around furniture, waiting for your human to walk by. Right now the game was a bit clunky, but I see high potential for the game. It was already so much fun trying to hit the human without dying.

When you’re in Korea, you should definitely check out the indie scene here. It’s quite amazing to experience the creativeness here.
