The Game Tools & Middleware Forum 2024 (GTMF2024) was a premier business event for game developers in Japan, featuring an exhibition booth and participation in informative sessions by Mapbox. The event showcased innovative demo apps and map design tools under the theme "Location-based games that evolve with Mapbox maps." A highlight was the presentation of "Playable Location" data, which ensures safe gameplay by identifying off-limits areas and impassable roads. Mapbox's unique position as a "map development platformer" attracted significant attention from developers and game planners, while their participation in GTMF last year has boosted recognition within the game industry, with adoption of their technology in popular location-based games.
