A company making Christian-oriented games, known as Hummer. That's just opening oneself up for mockery.[/quote]
I'm pretty sure the name is meant to be a reference to how people hum in church or something. It's still stupid, though. :P
(Looking through the Chinese Hummer page) So their controller thing is apparently "Assiduous"? I think it'd be more accurate if they took the last 6 letters off that.
Moving on to something more relevant, using the mystical powers of Google Translate, I think this team are directly connected with Dragon Co. From what I could understand, it says that Dragon were formed in 1997 and apparently made games for the Famicom and Super Famicom. In 1999, they (possibly Tommy Xie on his own) started developing games for the Mega Drive and supposedly the Game Boy. The last paragraph I looked at makes no sense, but I think it says that Hummer Software were formed in 2005 and carried on doing on Dragon Co. did before. Oh, and they made some TV games, but I've got no idea what's up there.
The list of games on the archive consists of Mega Drive games as far as I can tell. Sonic is listed on there, not sure if they got the license from Sega but I somehow doubt it. Fortune Fighter's description sounds a lot like Iraq War 2003 for the Mega Drive. There's a cricket game for some odd reason. Death Caliber or whatever it's called is apparently based off 9/11, and it's for the Mega Drive so it's probably another port of Metal Slug. You could apparently download the games at one point but of course, Wayback Machine can't do that.
One thing that's really weird is that in the "Job" section, the descriptions seem to consist of tags to pornography and pointless references to Alex Trebek and Pokémon, all written in Italian. Then again, that seems to have been a hack, because the latest update has a standard description in Chinese.

It's a shooting gallery game... that uses the D-pad rather than any sort of light gun. Oh, yeah, and with *really* bad cursor precision.
Oh, also? It's credited in-game to Glorysun. Maybe Glorysun were the publisher and Hummer the developer, or something like that?

I'm guessing either you're right on that presumption, or they're the same company. That said, I'm not familiar with Glorysun.
heres Glorysun's website: http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20030201095545/http://glorysun.com/ (http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20030201095545/http://glorysun.com/)
sounds like they did use the Tomsoft dev kit, the English page mentions "SEGA debugging tools(nouse hardware)" &
"Music tool for SEGA.it can transplant MIDI to SEGA music". & they had a research branch in Xi'an.. so I'd guess that either both Glorysun & Hummer were spun off from Dragon, or they at least worked together somehow.
