Guest: Masashi Kimura from room6
Born in 1972, 50 years old. After graduating from a computer vocational school, aimed for the game industry but couldn't get hired, becoming a business engineer instead. Inspired by the iPhone released in 2007, he became independent and started a business in 2010 wanting to develop for the iPhone. Realizing that game development could also be done on the iPhone, he began developing mobile games around 2013.
From around 2015, he exhibited at numerous indie game events both domestically and internationally, and started developing console games for Nintendo Switch around 2017. Through connections made with developers at events, he began the indie game publishing business in 2019. In 2020, he started managing the indie game label "Yokaze," which collects games that immerse players in the world.
