S/ Ogami Sakurako, NTV Reporter / This booth has games made by creators of ages ranging from high school students to their 60s on display.

The booth at this year's Tokyo Game Show features works by 20 creators to whom the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry provides support for business development.

Our reporter tried out a game.

S/ Ogami Sakurako, NTV Reporter / Whoa, it fell!

We spoke with the creator of this mountain climbing game.

S/ Hiko / I want people not just from Japan but from all over the world to play it.

Game creators showcased their works at the four-day Tokyo Game Show, which got underway on September 25 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, east of Tokyo.

The content industry, including games, is positioned as a core industry in Japan, with the export value at 5.8 trillion yen.

Japan is targeting 20 trillion yen in overseas content sales in eight years, an amount comparable to its automobile exports.

The country's domestic gaming industry is led by major companies like Nintendo and Sony, but globally, individual creators are starting to produce hit titles.

The government aims to support individuals to broaden the industry base and further expand the market.
