A real-time battle is the prosperity now in Japanese social game market. However, it occurred in the reality world, too. I wrote that Japanese social game developer gloops charged Grani yesterday.

Grani announced the press release about this today. According to it, they deny all the contents of the accusation of gloops. They insist that they developed all including specifications and the source code in themselves. Furthermore, they insist that gloops disturbs their business, and think about charging gloops reversely.

It is rare that an intense accusation battle happens in this way in Japan. This will become the fierce battle like their social games.

I wrote the procedure in vsmedia and here until now. However, I examine it to write it in TECSHAR from now on.

TECSHAR is a platform sharing know-how of DIY. Users can post procedure of every DIY such as Design, illustration, handicrafts, electronic work, 3D data, 3D print goods, gadget etc...(well, the things which readers of O'Reilly's magazine Make: seem to like). It just opened today, but has some post.

This is the first service of Japanese startup Techin. They perform service and a project about DIY mainly on a 3D print technology. They are going to provide education service "Tech In Academy" with upgrading of TECSHAR. In addition, Techin is the startup which Japanese serial entrepreneur Kazuma Ieiri established.

The tie-up with characters is similar to them. However, anyway it's cute! We can meet Hello Kitty through own's avatar.

Furthermore, we can play in her room, play Gacha and get various Hello Kitty virtual goods.

I think that this attracts a lot of LINE users and helps global expansion of LINE Play. Because Hello Kitty is in the whole world.

Square Enix established a development studio in Indonesia

Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. established a development studio PT. SQUARE ENIX SMILEWORKS in Surabaya, Indonesia.

SQUARE ENIX SMILEWORKS is the first Southeastern Asian subsidiary of Square Enix. They have already performed administration and the artwork drawing of social games of the Square Enix group.

In addition, they developed the mini-game of 2D virtual world Nicotto Town which a Smile Labo, one of the subsidiaries of Square Enix ran. They develop the new network game from now on. As the part, they are going to release an Indonesian version of Nicotto Town.

Many people miss this, but this is big news. Nicotto Town is the well-established virtual world of Japan. The number of the users are one-tenth of Ameba Pigg, but They open earlier than Ameba Pigg and continue service solidly more than 4 years. Japanese Virtual world have not succeeded until now any place other than Japan. Because virtual goods business was not established(purchasing will of Japanese virtual goods and the virtual currency is crazy!). However, a market and users of rising nations evolve every day. Probably SQUARE ENIX expect for it.

Because MacPro was too cool, the Japanese played with this

On June 10, Apple announced new Mac Pro in WWDC.

Because the form was too cool, many Japanese played with this. These are those parts.

Many Japanese associated foods to see MacPro somehow. They were called midnight foods terrorism because holding time of WWDC is the midnight in Japan time.

Of course there are the works except the foods, too. Such the fan art continue still increasing.
