About Asobi.tech
[Ah – So – Bee . Teku] Founded in 1997. The name Asobi.tech, and the logo represent two halves of a whole, a merging of Eastern/Western gaming philosophies. We have taken the Japanese word for Play, Asobi, and an English word for a type of Science, Tech. Bringing them together, to give us Asobi.tech – the Science of Play. The year of 2020 brought many challenges to us all, but gave Asobi.tech a chance to refocus. Quang is now dedicating 100% of his time and resources into Asobi.tech, taking it from a part time to a full time studio. Going back to our roots we completed and self published Super JetPak DX, a physical Nintendo GameBoy game.
