Premier Japanese VR Developer MyDearest Enters Game Publishing

Tokyo, Japan / June 1st, 2023 Japanese developer MyDearest, the studio behind the multi-award winning Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate and other outstanding VR titles, is excited to announce a new publishing initiative for VR games.

This new ambition from MyDearest comes from an unbridled enthusiasm for sharing our success with the rest of the video game industry. The studio hopes to leverage our years of experience and proven track record of getting games off the ground to deliver meaningful gaming experiences to VR gamers worldwide.

MyDearest understands that one size does not fit all when it comes to video games, so the company's multi-pronged approach can be tailored to what an individual title or developer needs. Some developers have already published their game, but might need some additional support to crack the Japanese market. MyDearest can leverage years of experience in its home country to help the game reach its full potential in Japan with a range of services that includes:

• Press releases
  
• Local media outreach
  
• Influencer and sponsored content relations
  
• Asset localization and creation
  
• Japanese localization QA
  
• Advertising campaigns
  
• Community and social media management
  
• Online and in-person events
  
• Video and live-streaming production
  

Other developers are looking for a publisher to get the game over the finish line and into customers' hands. For them, MyDearest offers the full suite of publishing services, such as:

• Platform relations
  
• International PR
  
• VR influencers outreach
  
• Asset creation
  
• Advertising campaigns
  
• Community and Social Media management
  
• Online and in-person events
  
• Video and live streaming production
  
• Customer support
  

Interested parties should contact [email protected] for any inquiries, regardless of how far your game may be in development.

The first game in MyDearest's publishing initiative will be the surreal, psychedelic VR puzzle game Squingle. Brought to life by the aptly-named Squingle Studios, the addictive, challenging, and clever title has players guiding rotating orbs through increasingly-complex cosmic 3D mazes. MyDearest is proud to help bring this indie gem to the Japanese market.
