Impact the game industry and Japanese economy through commitment and dynamic ideas.

The game industry is Japan’s largest content exporting industry and has grown into an extremely important one in its own right.  In order for Japan to lead the global game industry, it needs to be the source of great content with energized game developers to drive that great content.  For this purpose, Matchlock believes that the following principles are of utmost importance.

・Internationally competitive development

・Taking calculated risks to undertake technically challenging work

・Making our core business of game design attractive to the best talent

 

Matchlock Corporation addresses needs regardless of form, makes its own implementations, takes practical risks (responsibility) , and, when the high road to game making presents itself, we travel down it to follow through on our mission and provide thought leadership to make a contribution to the game industry and Japanese economy.  The origin of our company name, Matchlock (a type of musket), is a weapon that ushered in victory for the Oda Nobunaga-led military at the battle of Nagashino.  But, his victory was not won simply by using matchlocks, Nobunaga realized his winning ways with the following capabilities.

・Foresight to recognize the importance of new technologies like the matchlock with far-reaching implications

・Tactics to capitalize on methodologies that enabled maximizing the full potential of new technologies like the three-step firearm

・Strategies that invested in maintaining and training for the mass production of matchlocks to bring a new methodology to fruition

 

We don’t stop at simply using and providing technology and ideas, we put them to their maximum use in processes and bake them into the company name while laying the framework to enable strategies so our company can bring life to comprehensive implementations and proposals as well as bring about innovations.
