Why Kids Divine game is called first? What Indonesia did not exist before the game? Said David admitted before he has a lot of people in Indonesia have made the game, but why Divine KIDS called Game First Indonesia?

From the first computers were created and entered in Indonesia until now, David was sure there must be some people in Indonesia who never make a game. These games are made using a computer before they will be prossor pentium era like today.

David himself made airplane games “Siege” (1992) with the underground program during SMA.Game GWBASIC were distributed to friends his own because of their hobby. During high school and is making the game, David had heard of a game Indonesia, although not seen directly. What he played was alien games.

(When actually there are already some games Indonesia, even though his character is taken from the foreign characters like Street Fighter or Dragon Ball, or the American comic character, or games that spread is limited as David made the siege. Game in English, there are also translations of foreign-made games foreigners, there are also games edits of foreign games, etc.. Is the game could be called Game First Indonesia later? example: Dragon Ball – Game First Indonesia?)

In the eyes of David’s time a comic that comic and gaming Indonesia is less developed, less passionate, less known to the public. David is a manufacturer of underground comics and games feel Geregetan see this. What could a David do? Just recently graduated high school ….

During a lecture at the ARO Leprindo (D3 Medical Optics Eye), despite heavy initial step-mocked and ridiculed, finally comic Solid Kids who initially underground (read friends among themselves) be lifted up …. of course issued to the public through the struggle.

What about games? David felt he could not make a game that college there (because it is not taught to make games in the medicine). Akhrinya take courses in FSRD Univ.Tarumanagara, learn about design while studying logic programming. Undergroundnya game which was originally stored only: Divine KIDS be published and distributed to the public, first in CHIP magazine. David is really determined to begin the second game to help lift Indonesia’s underdeveloped. He believes many people just want to advance the game determined to Indonesia.

After a few games are made, David began to think about building a foundation for the game “Divine Kids” her. The first is a sense of caring will be Law and Intellectual Property Rights. Didaftarkanlah characters and logos Kids Divine. Capital comes from savings in college working part timenya. Perhaps the rare time that people create an original game plus the game to register the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights. David is committed to advancing Indonesia started that second game. With marketting strategy and design knowledge learned in college, David tries to make a promotion for Kids Divine order is known. Promotion strategy that can be searched surprising and interesting to be listened to! Strategy goalnya hope: Community Game Indonesia Indonesia is relatively widely know it exists!

Semarang, January 27, 2005, the Indonesian Record Museum (MURI) gives award to David “First Game Makers in Indonesia (Divine Kids)”. Here are 2 things formally endorsed that David Setiabudi is the first game maker Indonesia and Serial Game First Game Divine Kids as Indonesia. Award Bpk.Jaya submitted directly by Suparna, founder of MURI. Attended also by Kak Seto Mulyadi supporting David continuously since first thesis about the game.

There are Pros and Cons about the Game First Indonesia (GPI) is: there is a notion that years of making games Kids Divine was 2003-2004, when there are games Indonesia in the year before, though his character from the Japanese or American, which is important LONGER year. Some say the important games in Indonesian language, made translations from foreign citizens or foreign games is not a problem. Lots of views on the appropriateness of it bearing the GPI.

MURI and some proffesional gaming magazines in Indonesia, with their respective policies (can be in terms of the original character of Indonesia, Indonesian language, widely spread, citizens, and others) have chosen as the Game First Kids Divine Indonesia.

In the deciding game Serial Divine Kids as GPI, MURI-editor and editor of gaming magazine proffesional NO bribes / corruption.

If there are individuals who feel other games more worthy of the GPI, then it is up to each individual.

The development continues … do not be gaming Indonesia developed only by 1 or more workers. Therefore molded containers Kids Divine Associates for game makers who welcome anyone. It’s a game that was made still jauuuh of foreign games; But the starting point is expected to be large, whether or not Divine Kids Succeed Associates who want to bring the game progress Indonesia depend on state support, the media, investors, peers, and gamers Indonesia.

“Game First Indonesia”, is the starting point for development of the game of modern Indonesia, Indonesia wheel of a static game development and many people do not know about the existence of gaming Indonesia, initially shocked by the pros and cons GPI, then people began to realize the existence of Game Indonesia, then the will be competing to make the game Indonesia, and eventually is expected to compete with foreign games. Such hopes and plans for advancing the game David Setiabudi Indonesia.

Since MURI and editorial-editor of the magazine the game open the eyes of Indonesia, now we can see a lot of race-race event to make Indonesia the game, the TV stations began covering games Indonesia, the passion to make games increases, and others. May the dynamic development of the Indonesia game continues.
