Sega R&D1 (2011-2015)
Division of Sega Corporation
Founded: 2011
Headquarters:
Japan
2011
2015-04-01

R&D Dept. #1 (第一研究開発本部[1] also called R&D1[2] and R&D#1[3]) was the first arcade division of Sega. It acted as the natural successor to Sega AM1, just with the Amusement (AM) moniker dropped. It also had more public presence, including its own website and social media accounts. It was succeeded by Sega Interactive R&D1 upon the founding of Sega Interactive in April 2015. The R&D website ceased many of its activities 2 months later[4] and became inactive in early December 2017[5].

As a melting pot of many previous departments, R&D1 developed a variety of different products, including mobile games[6] (e.g. Chain Chronicle, Fuuin Yuusha! Mine Tou to Sora no Meikyuu) arcade video games[6] (e.g. maimai, The World of Three Kingdoms), medal games[6] (e.g. Horuka x Toruka, Hokuto no Ken Battle Medal), arcade games for kids[6] (e.g. Zukan no Tamago, Uno Challe) and other products[6] (e.g. Toylets, Rec Check Golf).

While the majority of R&D1's mobile efforts saw international release, all their arcade games remained in Japan except for Operation G.H.O.S.T., though maimai would later expand into international territories[7].

The R&D1 Supporters Site was launched in 2014 to offer benefits to players of their biggest community-driven arcade titles: World Club Champion Football, Chain Chronicle, Code of Joker, and The World of Three Kingdoms[8].

Sections

R&D 1 contained the following sections:

  • Produce Section (プロデュースセクション)[9][10]
  • Planning Development Section (企画開発セクション)[11][12]
  • Soft Development Section (ソフト開発セクション)[13]
  • Design Development Section (デザイン開発セクション)[14]
  • Design Technology Section (デザイン技術セクション)[15]
  • Div. #1 (開発1-1部)[16]
  • Div. #1 Sound Section (開発1-1部 サウンドセクション)[12][17]
  • B&E;Development Dept. Sound Section (B&E;研究開発部 サウンドセクション)[18]
  • Div. #2 (開発1-2部)[19][20]
  • Strategic Planning Office (戦略企画室)[21][22]
  • Management Office (運営室)[23]

It also contained a dedicated mobile game section named MOBILE WORKS Team, which developed games like Chain Chronicle and Hyakki Taisen Emaki[1]. There also existed the RED WORKS Team, which seems to have been involved with animated shows such as Live Animation Heart X Algorhythm[24].
