NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. - ASOBISTORE EXPO 2021
Namco Bandai Entertainment presents to character fans
Japan's largest online expo, "Asobi Store EXPO 2021," was held.
The event was a fusion of reality and online, with talks, live performances, and games.
The event was held at the official entertainment commerce site "Asobi Store" for 11 days from October 1 to 11.
-- What features have you implemented using GS2?
The lottery was used for the "daily lottery draw during the event period" and the "score ranking of the Legendary game that can be played during the event period.
We managed user data by linking it to our common account platform, Bandai Namco ID.
At first, we were worried about whether the linkage would work, but thanks to the fact that GS2 was designed for such implementation, we were able to link without having to do anything special.

-I think we could have considered extending the functionality of the Asobi Store. Why did you consider adopting GS2?
We began to consider adopting GS2 to reduce the man-hours required for development and to implement services in a shorter period of time.
-- Have any game servers other than GS2 been considered?
In using an external server service, we considered two options: GS2 and Microsoft's Playfab.
In the end, we decided to use GS2 for the following reasons
This was a major factor in our decision.
In the end, we decided to use GS2 for the following reasons
- - A domestic manufacturer.
- - Solid technical support system in Japanese.
- - I could see a lot of potential for future expansion.
This was a major factor in our decision.
-- Do you think that GS2 has helped streamline your development?
Originally, back-end development took nearly a year. However, GS2 already provides a variety of functions, which can be combined to achieve what you want. We were able to introduce and release the product in a short period of time (practically two months). If we had not adopted GS2, it would have been difficult to implement in such a short period of time. Not only the time frame, but also the technical support and assistance we received from GS2 allowed us to minimize the size of the development team compared to normal development.
--Did you ever adopt GS2 but not do what you wanted to do?
I don't think there was anything in particular that we could not do this time. In fact, we are now considering the possibility of developing new services using functions that are not yet available in GS2.
-- What did you think of GS2's development support?
We used Business Support for this project. GS2 was flexible, speedy, and willing to provide technical support, and explained GS2's functions in a way that was easy to understand. We look forward to working with them again in the future to enhance our services at Asobi Store.
