A few days ago, I met with the most amazing orchestra artist in Vietnam.

He performed pieces from Genshin and more.

And it was absolutely amazing to hear in person.

I hope we can get him and his team TUSO to perform at IGVN Awards 👀

His name is Sơn Mach. Link below

@rarereversee Animation so good, it could be a part of the main game

[The Scourge - Tai Ương @rarereversee]

And today, “Counting Sheep - Đếm Cừu” is finally complete.

A few months ago, we received an email from a group of students asking for permission to use the story and characters from The Scourge in an animated video for FPT Color Up 2026.

What impressed us wasn’t just how thoughtfully they approached us, but also the respect they showed for something our team had spent years bringing to life.

This year’s theme is “Tales from the Village – Tales from the City | Chuyện làng – Chuyện phố”.

The group chose to reimagine the world of The Scourge through a lacquer-inspired visual style, combining traditional Vietnamese aesthetics with an eerie, horror-inspired atmosphere and motion graphics.

What we love most is that the lacquer-inspired style (Sơn Mài) is more than just a visual treatment, it also gives the story a stronger sense of Vietnamese culture.

The characters are still familiar, but the group’s storytelling and visual direction have given them a completely new life.

Seeing the characters of The Scourge reimagined through the creativity and dedication of these students was honestly incredibly moving. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into creating something this beautiful.

If you have a few minutes, please check out the video and show them some support! We hope you absolutely crush it at FPT Color Up 2026! ❤️

This won’t be another IGVN news feed.

It’s a founder’s view of building the things I wish Vietnamese indie developers already had.

If you make, publish, cover, or care about indie games, welcome.

That’s all! Love you all!

I’ll share the messy middle: building the awards, showcases, websites, tools, global connections and the decisions, experiments, and mistakes along the way.

Recently I played Half Left demo by @HalfLeft_Dev 🇻🇳. This game is similar to Endoparasitic but you're in a wheelchair and stuck in alien-infested facility

This is the moment where I panicked because I am being chased by tens of aliens while I am rowing on a wheelchair
