It has the capability to discern which character is speaking by analyzing their dialogue, recognizing characters’ genders and age groups. Our technology can glean and deduce the fullest spectrum of information from a narrative, including the emotions of characters, the dynamics of their interactions, and intricate character depictions, translating this data into various forms of content such as images, videos, and sounds.” He further added, “This technology enables ODDNARY users to experience a level of engagement and immersion far surpassing that of conventional audiobooks. I am optimistic that ODDNARY will significantly enhance the service quality of the storytelling content platform industry.”    박원중 기자 (park.wonjun.ja@gmail.com)storytelling inaugural storytelling platform contest encouragement web novel

Hyper-Casual P2E gaming platform TNT participates at BWB 2022 in Busan

TIA, a blockchain-based P2E platform developer, opened a booth at the "Blockchain Week Busan 2022" event held at BEXCO in Haeundae-gu, Busan, for three days from the 27th to the 29th. TIA is currently switching proven games in Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, with about 2 million MAU (Monthly Active Users) both locally and globally in Web 2.0.   The company will release "Bounce Brick Breaker," "2048," "Fly Fish," and "Jungle Trip" on one P2E platform called TNT (Treasure & Trophies), along with "Swipe Brick Breaker," a hyper-casual game with 30 million cumulative downloads globally.   An official from TIA stated that BWB 2022's booth opening was a very meaningful experience, and it offered the opportunity to introduce TIA and TNT platforms to domestic and foreign visitors while sharing information and expanding its base through networking with industry officials.   The company also signed an MOU with TDI Group and announced that it will release only proven games in the market by combining TDI's AI and Big Data technologies with TIA's blockchain game technology. Another exclusive license agreements for 18 Web 2.0 game IPs owned by TDI was also signed with TIA. A TIA official said, "P2E is still in its infancy phase, so it is focused on generating profit rather than gameability, which accelerates user departure if inflation in the value of goods intensifies.   TIA's goal is to utilize TDI's big data and AI analysis technologies to introduce game genres that have already been proven in the market on the TNT platform and will focus on users enjoying games and creating a structure that can help the company reach its profit goals.   이동희 기자 (lee.donghee.ja@gmail.com)platform gaming tnt platforms platform developer industry officials
