Set in the background of its original comic book - Slam Dunk and focusing on rendering the original style, Slam Dunk Online will introduce all the characters debuting in Slam Dunk. As an online game, Slam Dunk Online is expected to provide players both offline and online gaming fun.

According to the cartoonist Inoue Takehiko, author of Slam Dunk, all members of Slam Dunk Online's dev team are working hard on the game development by following the principle of respecting the original worldview, characters and basketball. This is also what Inoue Takehiko hopes. And he said that he's looking forward to the day when the development of Slam Dunk Online is completed.

Editor's Summary: At the sight of the Korean company Goorm, I just thought of the various games it has developed, like the Keroro Gunso series , Trinity Online and We Online. Well, I really think that most of Goorm's games display a cute style. Actually, I like Slam Dunk cartoon very much and also look forward to Slam Dunk Online. I only hope this game will not be developed as a free style game.
