Project Objectives
In collaboration with game production education institutions across Japan, this initiative aims to train a new generation of leader-type game creators who will further enhance the strengths of Japanese creativity through integrated, practice-based approaches that bring together academia, culture, and game production education.
At the same time, we will promote international exchange, collaborative projects, and exhibitions. Also as a formal institutional initiative, Ritsumeikan University has established the Research Center for ASOBI Creation (ASOBI meaning ‘play’) to build a sustainable foundation for long-term talent development and a robust framework for international collaboration.
Project Approach
Building on the industry–academia–government partnerships in game production education that have been cultivated in the Kansai region, this initiative will establish a program to develop creators with a global perspective and advanced, multifaceted literacy grounded in long-term and strategic thinking, by incorporating a new and strong partnership with Tokyo University of the Arts.
Furthermore, we are eager to establish a platform which allows game production educators to consolidate and share their knowledge for future standardization.
