Meeting in Hanoi with Unity, March 18 2011

IGDA VN Meeting V

            For the first time of its young existence, IGDA Vietnam has received guests coming from a major company of the global video game industry.

            Thus, Mr John Goodale and Mr Tom Higgins came in Hanoi the 18th of March to present the Unity software in front of an enthusiastic audience composed of representatives of game studios, media specialized in video game and amateurs having passion for game development.

            Once again the VTC Company kindly hosted the meeting and has collaborated in organizing the event with the IGDA Vietnam Chapter.

            It’s important to notice that, despite the bad weather, most of the studios that are incubating the first generation of pure Vietnamese games were present at the conference. Among them we can cite VTC Studio ( that holds 4 game projects), Emobi Games ( Dien Bien Phu - 7554 project), MusicKing (MMO music and dance game project named The King), VCCorp Game, 3DVN… This demonstrates how appealing is the Unity Engine for the game development community in Vietnam.

            Our guests presented the history of the creation and development of Unity and made demonstrations of the software. The new version has impressed the audience since the reputation of Unity is to be only efficient for small games or prototypes but the demonstration showed that we can also do great games with advanced technologies using Unity. This in addition with the low cost, the ease of use and the multi-platform portability show how the software is suitable for the vietnamese game developers and the local market.
