Hey guys, 

Since I started hanging out in the forums, I've been seeing a few creators with HK flags or Cantonese names. 

Don't be shy about saying hello if you're around! Maybe we can get chatting about the HK indie game scene!

In terms of players, I think we're basically like everywhere else. Obviously, there's a massive demand for mobile games because people do a lot of commuting and want something brainless to click on. Many people have a Playstation or Switch at home.

In terms of game-making, I find that a surprisingly large amount of game development happens here and covers several genres and types. Although these games don't wear their HK origins proudly. I used to work for a company that would make games purely aimed for Portuguese audiences like Brazil and would never consider translating them into Chinese, for example. 

I've also worked for a HK-based company that brands itself as German... for... no reason? They feel like HK doesn't suggest quality to customers and try to hide their origins. Bit weird.
