I went to Tokyo Game Show 2025.
Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is Japan's largest gaming event and a globally renowned gaming festival. Held every September at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, it has two sides: a business day for industry professionals and a public day for general visitors. A variety of gaming-related events are planned, including opportunities to try out new games, talk shows with developers and voice actors, e-sports events, and merchandise sales.
Various games were exhibited from various manufacturers, and they were all eye-catching.
The highlights.
Every company was great, but what I paid particular attention to was the indie creators from all over the world.
I was able to play games made by creators at several booths and listen to stories about production.
At the booth I visited, 1, 2, or 3 people are making games, and it seems that they use Unity, Godot, and Blender for development.
These are familiar development environments that anyone can use for free.
Once again, depending on the idea, I realized that it is a field where you can compete with the rest of the world if you have one computer.
I'm sure if everyone has an idea, they can get started today.
“TokyoGameShow” will surely be a good stimulus not only for people who like games, but also for everyone who wants to become a game creator in the future.
A bonus.
Hardware booths were also quite popular, and game controllers, keyboards, handheld PCs, etc. were also displayed.
All of them are gamers' It was getting a lot of attention.
I was fascinated by the handheld PC GPD. It's small yet high-spec
, and seems convenient when working on the move.
