And players enjoy free games. Because something they have been doing since the start of this project, in 2022, is making the games they produce available for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has a problem. <strong>Until now they were presented at BitSummit, an indie game festival held in Kyoto, and then uploaded to Steam, but only for Japanese users<\/strong>.
