Day in the Life of a Japanese Game Designer



A Day in the Life of a Japanese Game Designer also know in Japan as a Game Planner for a Japanese Development Company. This is life working in Tokyo in the Japan Game Industry developing games for mobile devices. It includes the average work day and typical working hours of a Japanese office. If you want to learn what it is like working in the Japan game industry then this video should help provide insight on the type of work life and work culture in Japan. Shuta works as a Lead Game Designer aka Game Planner at Colopl. One of the largest mobile game developers in Japan popular for making casual mobile games like Shironkeo Project, Meow Meow and Star Acres. With about 800 employees in their Tokyo office, their creative teams produce a wide variety of mobile games. As a Japanese game planner, it’s important to have strong management and communication skills. It’s not enough to be creative and come up with ideas, but a planner must also be able to organize these ideas, create proposals and specification documents in order to effectively communicate their ideas to their teams. Apparently, it took a total of 7 years of development to complete the game Neko Golf. In fact, the development itself froze after 4 years, but then was later restarted and the team restructured when Shuta joined the team 3 years ago. For many playing the game, they’ll probably never truly understand how much time went into creating it, but for the team I’m sure there’s a great sense of completing the game.

I’m from TOKYO JAPAN, I’ve been living here for a long time. I’ll be your Tokyo Travel Guide, taking you to the spots I love as well as showing you what to do all around Japan and maybe sometimes overseas. I’m also into Tech so you’ll see a few videos about my drone and other cool toys I discover. In short, the channel is all about what I Love, Japan, Food, Travel, Tech and most likely coming FROM-TOKYO, my home.

    As a software engineer myself I'm a bit surprised they're using VS Code editor for C# coding … does the company not buy their programmers full licence for Visual Studio? Or does the guy prefer simple editor over IDE? Anyway, very interesting video, it's refreshing to see that not all Japanese companies are those stereotypic conservative corporates full of salarymen in suits, bowing in front of their yelling bosses 🙂

    I enjoyed his apartment, simple and cosy, without 34534 devices and cables and toys on display. The colour of the walls don't hurt my eyes, which is something outstanding considering the region.

    I have never found a company who doesn't code in english, it is prety much the defacto lanugue needed for coding.

    Paolo happy new year hop hop hop

    A fresh game designer who discusses with others and waits for the final decision of the superiors who risk their money Game! Being addicted to games is like being addicted to food to become a ball in a conbini
