At VTC, we believe that video games are more than just entertainment; they are a powerful medium for cultural expression. Our philosophy, 'Not just making games, we are making culture,' guides our development process, ensuring that every product we create weaves in the rich tapestry of Vietnamese identity in a modern, engaging way.
We strive to create experiences where players can not only enjoy thrilling gameplay but also connect with and appreciate traditional values. Whether it's the elegance of the ao dai and the serene lotus motif in Audition, the spirit of camaraderie in Dot Kich set against familiar Vietnamese landscapes, or the heroic figures of Bร Triแปu and Thรกnh Giรณng in Gunbound Legend, VTC transforms games into bridges between our heritage and cutting-edge technology.
Our commitment has been recognized through numerous accolades, including multiple awards at Vietnam Gameverse and the prestigious title of Best Game Publisher. Over two decades, from 2006 to the present, VTC has consistently invested in innovation, developing beloved titles and expanding our esports ecosystem. We are proud to have built a strong foundation, continuously pushing the boundaries of what Vietnamese game development can achieve.
What truly sets VTC apart is our dedication to naturally embedding Vietnamese culture within our games. From depicting idyllic rural scenes and traditional attire to incorporating folklore elements, we ensure authenticity and resonance. This approach has even seen games like Audition play a role in promoting Vietnamese culture internationally, such as at SEA Games 33. As we look towards the future, with VTC consistently reaching finals in major awards like the Vietnam Game Awards, our 'Do local - Go global' strategy is proving successful, extending the reach of Vietnamese culture into the digital age.
