Japanese mobile game company Spicy Soft introduces a system of 3-days off a week

What kind of thing do you imagine about the labor circumstances of Japanese companies? Nonsense custom and rule? Strict hierarchical relationship? Overtime work? Gender discrimination? Racial discrimination? Sexual harassment? Power harassment? Bullying? Violation of labor law? Unfortunately all of them are facts. Probably the Japanese labor circumstances is the most inferior in developed countries. Meanwhile, Japanese mobile game company Spicy Soft introduces an interesting welfare program system. This is "3-days off a week".

Usually, Japanese companies are system of 2-days off a week. However, Spicy Soft stops work on Wednesday as well as the weekend. Besides, the amount of salary of staff does not decrease. In other words, a day was fixed, but increased in the paid vacation of staff. They test this October 1, 2014 - February, 2015, and if there is not a problem, this becomes their official company regulations. They demand understanding and cooperation to business partners. If this is received, some Japanese labor circumstances may change.

Following them, they broadcast TV commercials of three kinds of Hay Day in Japan from tomorrow. Shiori Kutsuna of the actress appears in these.

She emphasizes the comfort that can play a game only with one finger, cook cakes like the game with friends, and play a game with the boss and work friend.

In Japan, TV CM is still effective for the advertising of mobile games. Japanese mobile game companies examine TVCM broadcast when their game titles pass about 500,000 ~ 1 million downloading. Supercell made efforts in advertising of Clash of Clans until now in Japan, but on the other hand, Hay Day was quiet under cover of it in Japan. These CM may improve it.

New studio of GREE released a beautiful art mobile game "el"

GREE established new game studio Wright Flyer Studios which developed a games for smartphones technically in Tokyo. And they released a beautiful art game for free.

el is horizontal scrolling action game of the designs such as the shadow picture. The boy who woke in a prison has an adventure in various places and meets various people with the umbrella which can fly the sky.

The boy collects the feathers which shine while avoiding obstacles. This game is simple, so we can enjoy fantastic artwork enough.

However, we notice that this is tragedy whenever we advance stages. Well, the theme of the story of this game is war.

This is a really cool game. However, to our regret, GREE releases this only in Japan now. I think that they should release this in the global region.
