DOMO Team (DOMO小組, DOMO Xiǎozǔ) is a division of the Taiwanese company Softstar Entertainment.
History
The DOMO Team was created to develop Xuan-Yuan Sword, which was released in 1990.
The lead programmer, Tsai Ming-hung, chose the name DOMO Team as he sought to credit the entire development team. This name was chosen from the Japanese word for "friend", tomo (とも), to mean that all team members were friends, without distinction of rank.
During the development of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2, much of the development team, including the project leader, left the Crazy Boys Production Group midway through production. Softstar Entertainment brought the creator of the Sword and Fairy series, Yao Zhuangxian, back to Taiwan from China to finish the project within a tight deadline.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2 was completed by the remaining members of the Crazy Boys along with members from the DOMO Team, the latter of whom was developing Xuan-Yuan Sword IV at the time, and was released in 2003.
