They\u2019ve since gone on to release their own titles such as <em>Abyss Memory Fallen Angel and the Path of Magic<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the company divides their new employees into teams to develop their own original games for the final stages of their training. The company\u2019s BykingRooKIES brand was created for releasing these games. To be released, the promotional videos and video interviews with the developers for a game need to receive at least 5,000 views or the game must get at least 100 likes. With this year\u2019s batch of games, it looks like all of them met these requirements.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u3010Byking\u3011\u5c3e\u7551\u793e\u9577\u304b\u3089\u306e\u91cd\u5927\u767a\u8868\u2461\uff01\uff01\uff01\uff01\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BZ0_2HcmNUw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as a final note, each of these games requires a controller to play.
