Reona Takahashi, Representative of LeonaSoftware, delivered a presentation at Taipei Game Developers Forum (TGDF) 2026 in Taiwan, sharing the development experience behind Thumbylina, an original game device combining a virtual pet game with a Pomodoro timer.
TGDF brings together game developers in Taiwan to share knowledge and experiences related to game development. During the presentation, Takahashi discussed the planning and development of Thumbylina and received positive feedback from attendees.
This was Takahashi's second speaking appearance at TGDF. Both presentations were selected through the conference's open call for speakers, rather than through sponsorship or invitation. The event provided another valuable opportunity to share knowledge with local developers through our ongoing engagement with Taiwan's game development community. Although our time at the conference was limited, we gained valuable insights and opportunities to connect with fellow developers.
Following the TGDF presentation, we showcased our game currently in development, Crazy Localization (瘋狂本地化), at the GAME LINKER Summer Developer Meetup held in Yuanshan, Taipei.
The game's demo was first unveiled at Taipei Game Show. As the Traditional Chinese version is being developed with Taiwanese players in mind, we placed particular importance on gathering direct feedback from local players and developers during the showcase.
Engaging with Taiwan's game development community is an important part of our activities. We look forward to continuing to share our development experience and creating better games through ongoing exchanges with players and developers in Taiwan.
