You may not be familiar with the name PAON DP Inc., but this game company has garnered attention in the Japanese gaming industry for its unique style and bold approach. Founded in 1999, the company aims to provide gaming experiences that stand out from the rest, tackling a wide variety of genres. Let’s explore the appeal of PAON DP and the secrets behind its growth.
One of PAON DP’s defining features is its inheritance of numerous intellectual properties from the veteran game company Data East. This allows them to revive nostalgic classics like the “Glory of Heracles” series, “Kūga” series, “Karnov,” “Chelnov,” and “Windjammers.” Remaking these titles with modern technology and introducing them to a new generation of gamers reflects the company’s passion and adventurous spirit as game developers.
PAON DP has expanded its business beyond just game software development. In 2003, they entered the market for developing LCD screens for gaming machines and began creating simulators and actual LCDs for Daito Giken’s pachislot machines. This diverse business expansion highlights PAON DP’s flexibility and technical expertise.
In 2007, PAON DP forged a new path as a publisher. They began selling game software under their own brand, not only focusing on game development but also investing in marketing and sales strategies. This bold move demonstrates PAON DP’s strong confidence in their games.
In 2010, PAON DP entered the smartphone game development sector, swiftly adapting to the growing mobile gaming market. This move symbolizes their commitment to constantly exploring new possibilities and evolving flexibly to meet changing market needs. By tapping into the booming smartphone market, PAON DP has reached a broader audience of gamers.
In 2015, PAON merged with DP Corporation and was rebranded as PAON DP Inc. This merger allowed them to build a stronger corporate structure and deepen their partnership with Daito Giken. By sharing the same president, they’ve strengthened their unity as partner companies, laying the foundation for future growth.
PAON DP is a game company with a bold approach to reviving classic titles, flexible business expansion, and quick adaptability to new markets. Their multifaceted strategy and rich experience are sure to continue bringing fresh ideas to the gaming industry. Keep an eye on PAON DP’s future developments.
