Popular geolocation social game "MyTown" came over to Japan

Geolocation social game "MyTown" goes Japan. Yumemi performs localization and the administration in Japan.

We were able to play MyTown until now in Japan. However, unfortunately it was not so popular. because the Geolocation games are popular in Japan for several years and there are many rival titles.

Therefore Yumemi changed the design of MyTown boldly.

These are original MyTown

The colors are vivid. It is a cool design.

These are MyTown Japanese ver.

Kawaii design:)

Most of the systems are the same, but the designs are entirely different.

The designs of the icon are different, too.

Japanese snack uses a social game for promotion

I found the interesting social game example. This is Japanese snack "PRETZ".

PRETZ gives the social game for promotion "Odecoke PRETZ" in mixi.

"Odecoke PRETZ" is geolocation social game using the GPS function of the future phone.

The avatar of "OdecokePRETZ" is a package of PRETZ.

Users can gets virtual goods according to migration length. And we change an avatar using them.

However, though regrettable, this social game can be played only in a future phone and it's only Japanese support. The Japanese must appear abroad.

At Apple Store Ginza, Toyko last night...
