On April 27th, CyberAgent, Inc. officially launched its smartphone app “Pigg U” in Japan. The app is free to play with in-app purchases. It is compatible with iOS and Android operating systems.
“Pigg U” is a new service in the “Pigg series,” which has been operating since 2009. It is the first avatar communication app in the series to be offered in a 3D space, where users can play with each other while customizing their avatars and the surrounding environment.
The service’s tagline is “A character world overflowing with what you love.” It’s designed to let you enjoy three things through your avatar in a 3D space: “going out,” “creating spaces,” and “interacting.” Avatars can be dressed up with a wide variety of items, and the 3D space can also be customized to your liking. A system is in place to allow you to express your own unique style.
To foster interaction among users, there’s a feature that allows users to place the spaces they create as “spots” in themed “areas.” This system allows users to meet and play together with others who share the same interests. Aimed at users who enjoy fashion and space creation, those who want to talk to someone with a common hobby, and those who want their own private space, this will provide the first 3D avatar experience in the Pigg series.
