Aiming to launch in 2026
We will first share participation updates as the service takes shape.
Creator-first game platform project
Bring works in progress
to their next encounter.
SHAKE4 is a game platform project that preserves the current state of games and creators, making them easier to discover and connect to future opportunities.
Project status
SHAKE4 is a project that has just begun.
We are preparing SHAKE4 with the goal of launching the service during 2026. Together with a range of partners, we want to build a better environment for people who create, play, and support games.
SHAKE4 means SHAKE for gamer. Centered on creators and players, we will shape a flow where games are discovered, reactions remain, and each work can lead to its next opportunity.
Built with partners
We are preparing the project with connections including 4Gamer.net.
Creator / gamer first
We design around the experience of people who make and play games.
Shaped with your voice
Feedback from early participants will inform the design.
Why now
Creating alone is no longer enough to be discovered.
More games are being made, posts flow away, and reactions from events often end in the moment. That is why creators need a place where the present state of their work can remain.
It flows awayReactions from social media and events disappear over time.
It does not remainReviews and articles scatter instead of becoming a history of the work.
It takes timeKeeping updates organized while developing is difficult.
Few touchpointsCreators have limited chances to meet players, media, and collaborators.
What is SHAKE4?
A place where a game and its creator activity accumulate over time.
SHAKE4 centers on a work page that gathers game information, creator activity, updates, events, articles, and links in one place.
Work page
Each work page keeps the game’s present and its journey.
Basic information, images, videos, links, event history, reactions, reviews, and articles can be viewed from one place.

4Gamer.net / Partners
Using 4Gamer.net’s support and partner touchpoints.
SHAKE4 will use 4Gamer.net’s knowledge and publishing reach, together with partner connections, to help works be discovered, understood, and carried forward.
We create opportunities for works to reach editors, readers, events, media, and partner networks.
Global
From Asia, toward a global audience.

Start from an easy first step.

Understand how SHAKE4 works and whether it fits your team.
Record screenshots, descriptions, and activity notes.
Use reactions, events, articles, and outside links as next steps.
