In recent years, “MIT” has suddenly become every brand’s effective marketing slogan. In the past, Taiwanese preferred to buy imported goods, including Italian, German, French and Japanese products. However, the trend seems to have changed in recent years. As if finally waking up to reality, the government started to encourage enterprises to promote local brands and the media suddenly shifted a positive attitude towards “Proud of Taiwan” and is now advocating it energetically. Even consumers have started to become more patriotic by acknowledging “MIT” products. We never realized that Taiwan finally has what is called a “national brand” until

gdex 2012（Gamania Developers Exchange）Official Launch: July 2nd -13th !   A good R&D organization, in addition to having a well-rounded talent pool, creativity encouraging environment and an efficient R&D management process, another crucial key is whether or not it could establish a sound sharing culture.  Research and developing games is a creative-intensive job.

GJP announced that Langrisser Tri-Swords, a webgame adapted from the classic console war-chess game, :Langrisser, is to conduct its official open beta test!  Langrisser is initially a console game series created by Masaya, the software division of Nippon Computer Systems.

Before I get into the subject, I’d like to begin with a slogan from Nokia’s commercial, “Hunan Technology”. Through the design of emotion, a life-less product is given a friendly feeling, no longer a cold product or webpage. In fact, in the process of design, it does not always come from a brand new concept, on the contrary, we seek for something that is already rooted in people’s subconsciousness. I believe no one has ever taken a serious look at the footer on the webpage. Footer design is the most easily ignored or underestimated part of the webpage design.

For the longest time, the Olympic Games, held every four year, have been the heart of global attention.  All the best athletes gathered in one place, aiming to be faster, higher and stronger. It is a fight for the individual as well as the country. During the Olympics, the world seems to become ‘flat’, there is no time difference and no linguistic, cultural or ethnic barriers. All the audiences cheer for exceptional performances done by the athletes, regardless of winning.  Do you know that there are 76 countries in the world that have not won any single Olympic medal?

Sportsmanship of Olympics, the spirit of daring to challenge, fight and never give up and the pursuit of glory, are thoroughly embodied within each unit in Gamania. Operation is the unit that stands on the front line and thinks about how to win a battle in the market. They are like elite soldiers of Gamania group, doing market observation, adjustment, strategy proposal and execution etc. In this article, G!VOICE interviewed the manager of BU4-GTW, Marco and asked him to talk about Maple Story, a game that rewrote the history of Gamania and the challenge and obstacles behind the successful

In the Olympics game, the athletes accumulated years of hard works, sweated in numerous accounts, and gained countless support and encouragement before they could win a precious trophy. In Gamania, each glory and accolade is the joint efforts and result of Gamanians across the units. R&D uses their creativity to design games; operation unit plans the strategy and product marketing; brand center controls the image of the brand etc. Gamanians are like a big family where everyone stands on the same line. We strive for glory and encourage each unit to participate in regional brand competition so that the

Gamania Brand Director, Ahbin   Olympics 2012, the classic symbol of Olympics, the 5 interlaced Olympic rings hung high on London Bridge. These 5 rings represent the five inhabited continents of the world, united by Olympism and friendship, and formed a big ‘Olympic family’. The principle of fair competition eliminates the cultural difference and racial discrimination and therefore, Olympic Games become the ultimate honor indicator for athletes around the world.  When Gamanians challenge themselves and pursue honor, exactly what do they fight for? That’s right, they fight for Gamania. Every reformation, and the honor gained from contest were evidences

What would you do, if Taiwan’s tourism is handed down to ordinary people like you and me? You’re thinking, a country’s tourism affect many people’s livelihoods. Such significant task should go through the authority so that it could be packaged nicely and consistently. How could it be left to ordinary civilians, who may do a botched job?    Sweden thinks otherwise. Swedish Tourism Board initiated a campaign, “Curator of Sweden”. The Board thinks that “A country is constituted by people! There is no single channel that could claim to be the sole representative of whole Sweden and therefore, rather

G!VOICE Recommend: “In 1984, the rock band, Anvil joined the to-be-mega-bands such as Bon Jovi and Whitesnake for world tour and enjoyed the glory on stage. Back then, their music even influenced Slash, the former guitar player of Guns N’ Roses and Lars Ulrich, from Metallica. Such influential bank should have made it in the music scene, right?
