Gogh Welcomes Multiplayer Functionality

In a major update, Ambr, a Tokyo-based company, has released the multiplayer feature for its PC game, "gogh: Focus with Your Avatar," expanding the horizons of collaborative productivity. Now, users can enjoy a brand new experience working together in virtual spaces, enhancing their focus while utilizing the unique platform designed to cater to the direction of their tasks.

The multiplayer capability allows users to either publish their custom rooms or visit the rooms of others who are currently open to the public. If a room is set to public, it appears on the "Open Rooms" list, allowing anyone to join. For those who prefer a more exclusive experience, rooms can be limited to participants who possess a specific Multi-Room ID that they choose to share.

Within these multiplayer environments, users can showcase their ongoing tasks through displayed icons above their avatars. They are also able to engage with others using various emotes, fostering a sense of community even in a focused setting. The "Focus Mode" feature offers an added layer of tranquility, enabling users to minimize notifications, such as entry and exit alerts as well as greetings through emotes. This allows for undisturbed work without the distraction of chatter or constant interactions. Notably, both text and voice chat functions are absent, ensuring that users can concentrate on their work freely and effectively.

During the open beta testing periods in August and September, Gogh achieved record-high simultaneous connections, surpassing even its launch figures from April. Positive feedback flooded in, with users expressing their enjoyment of the multiplayer rooms on social media. This success not only showcases the appeal of the platform but positions Gogh to deliver a unique blend of a focus game and a multiplayer experience, reaching a broader audience worldwide.

Vertical-Format Photo and Video Capture Feature Added

Alongside the multiplayer feature, an innovative vertical-format photo and video capture capability has also been introduced. This update streamlines the user experience for posting to popular vertical video platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts, catering to the trend of vertical content consumption on social media.

The promotional period runs from September 30, 2:00 AM to October 7, 2:00 AM, followed by an additional unique sale from October 7, approximately 2:00 AM to October 21, around the same time.
