There are people who abandoned their stable jobs as big companies and Hollywood and entered game development.

Their indie game was well received at a recent game show.

Reporter Choi Kwang-hyun reports.

CEO Park Jin-man, who quit a large company and entered game development at the age of 40.

Starting as a one-man developer, he is now the representative of a game company with five employees.

The game he produced was a 'metal suit'

It is a game that reinterprets the 'metal slugs' that conquered arcades in the 1990s.

[Park Jin-man / Representative of the game 'Metal Suits' : When I was young, my uncle used to play at an arcade. Since then, I've been playing Megaman and Metal Slug for a long time, so I had a desire to make it.]

{메탈}'Metal Shorts' features 13 different kinds of 'suits' with different characteristics.

This suit allows for a variety of battles.

[Park Jin-man / CEO of the game 'Metal Suits' : It's about to be released, but it's still scary. I'm dreaming of IP, which started with a game called Metal Suits, becoming a movie and animation.]

The game 'The Relic', which has an immersive story and a dark fantasy atmosphere, is its strength.

Park In-hyuk, who produced the game, was an artist who was in charge of computer graphics in Hollywood in the past.

I left my stable job because I fell in love with the charm of "communication" I felt in the game.

[Park Inhyuk / CEO of the game "The Relic" : We decided to challenge because we thought that we could deliver emotions, emotions, and feelings that only the video can deliver in the game]

First of all, this game catches the eye with colorful graphics.

It is then fun to target 80 types of bosses with dynamic movements.

[Park Inhyuk / Game 'The Relic' CEO: Indie game itself can be defined as a challenge. My goal is to create a company that can enjoy our games.]

New indie games complete with ideas and enthusiasm, throwing off stable jobs.

These indie games, which were showcased at G-Star in Busan and received great reviews, will meet gamers next year.
