Ocean Games

"At this moment in time, Ocean Games is one of the leading developers..." - IGN
Ocean Games (オーシャンゲーム - Ōshangēmu) is a Japanese video-game developer and later publisher founded on September 17th, 1981. Ocean Games has produced many well-known games and franchises, such as the Neo Racer (ネオレーサー) franchise, the Warp (ワープ) franchise, the Oracle (オラクル) franchise, the Year of the Dragon (ドラゴンの年) franchise, the Seven Seas (七つの海) franchise, and much more. Ocean Games have also made many merchandises based off of their gigantic library of games.
Not only have they been developing games for years, but they have also opened up a new branch of their company dedicated to publishing different manga based off of their popular franchises. The manga division of the company would not just focus on recreating their games in manga form, but would also be able to create their own original manga. However, they didn't just stop at paper. They also opened up another branch dedicated to making their very own anime shows, also mostly based off of their franchises. Much like the manga division, the anime branch of the company would also be able to create their own original content. They would also be able to acquire rights of different manga series to create new anime to be released around the manga. Both of these branches opened up in 1999, with the manga branch being named, "Ocean Manga" and the anime branch being dubbed, "Ocean Pictures". Both of these branches of the company have both seen their own success creating their own ideas and adapting old ones.
In the year of 1996, Ocean Games gained enough capital to be able to purchase a new development studio. This new development studio would be located in San Francisco, California. The studio would also be called "Phoenix Studios".
