YOGYAKARTA The development of the game industry in Indonesia continues to receive attention, especially from the government. The video game industry is classified as the world of entertainment, technology, and the creative world. To understand how this industry is in Indonesia, take a look at the following short reviews.
The video game industry is one of the economic sectors which includes development, marketing, and sales. Meanwhile, the products that are the objects in this industry are video games.
The history of the development of the game industry in Indonesia itself is quite long. Chairman of the Indonesian Game Association (AGI) Andi Suryanto explained that the history of the game industry in the country can be withdrawn in the past 15 years. At that time, people's enthusiasm for games began to be high with the presence of Nintendo or Playstation console games.
"Zaman is mostly only a game industry player in Indonesia as a distributor, because it is still in the era of a console game," said Andi Suryanto, as quoted by Bisnis.
The console game era then shifted and began to enter online games. This era occurred around the 2000s. One of the games that at that time attracted a lot of public interest was Ragnarok Online. This game was developed by Gravity Corporation, a game developer based in South Korea. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the game's publisher is PT Lyto Datarindo Fortuna.
Around 2002/2003 finally appeared a local developer who named himself Matahari Studios. This company is funded by foreign investors in Indonesia, but has taken talent from the country to develop the game. Since then, another game developer has developed its own copyright.
The increasingly advanced gaming industry in the country has provoked the birth of game developers from Indonesia. Several developers are widely known, such as Agate Studio, Altermyth Studio, Toge Production, and many more.
The development of games in Indonesia is getting faster. Even now the Indonesian Game Association (AGI) appears. This organization aims to support and accelerate the growth of the video game industry in Indonesia.
We are led by active professionals with real experience in industry. Our membership consists of developers and video game publishers from Indonesia. We are trying to grow the industry through business development, human resource development, and regulatory advocacy," quoted from the official website of AGI.
