"Everyone, this is the program developed by our company that can be used for ga developnt. I call it the ga engine. With this engine, the speed of ga developnt and future developnt in the era of 3D gas will be much more convenient. Now, let demonstrate it for you."
In a lecture hall in Tokyo, Takayuki stood in front of an audience of three hundred people, explaining the basic usage of the engine.
This class, rather than being a lecture, was more like a small-scale software product launch event.
After Takayuki explained the basic developnt frawork of first-person shooter gas, he began to focus on the role of the ga engine in it.
Originally, a basic program that would take dozens of people and at least a week of continuous work to write, Takayuki, relying solely on himself, successfully created the rough frawork of a first-person shooter ga using the engine alone.
This astonished everyone in the audience.
This was a path they had never considered before.
Previously, they had never thought about using software to reduce repetitive processes in ga developnt.
Or rather, so had thought about it before but didn't know where to start.
But this ti, Takayuki directly demonstrated to these three hundred people, and everyone present understood the value of it.
It was like possessing the ultimate artifact, even facing the final boss would be easy.
While explaining, Takayuki used the engine to create a relatively simple ga.
In just an hour, what used to take several people several weeks to build could now be created using the engine alone.
Then all that was left was to add various materials to this foundation.
The first-generation version of the engine certainly couldn't compare to later versions like Unreal Engine 4 or 5.
But even for now, it was impressive enough.
Especially the ti and manpower saved in ga developnt.
At this mont, everyone was thinking about how to obtain authorization for this software.
Only Hayakawa was considering whether it was possible for his side to create sothing like this.
In the end, he concluded that it was difficult.
The funding provided by the headquarters did not allow him to do such things, and he didn't have much money to pursue another developnt path.
Unless the ga industry could advance further.
Previously, following Takayuki's lead with the low-priced PN1 also gained Surai Electronics so confidence in the US market, but it was not enough to convince them to invest in a new developnt path.
However, the direction of the engine was good. Even if they couldn't create a mature ga engine like Takayuki's, it was possible to create a ga engine that would be helpful.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a bit down.
It seed that Gastar Entertainnt and the companies following them would continue to widen the gap, which was sowhat despairing.
But at this mont, on the stage, Takayuki seed to hear the thoughts of the crowd.
He looked at everyone and said, "I suppose you're all now thinking about how to obtain this engine, aren't you?"
Everyone looked at Takayuki. At this mont, not a single person spoke, the aning was already self-evident.
Takayuki smiled, "Actually, it's very simple, it's just a matter of exchanging benefits. I gain money and data, and you gain the right to use the engine."
As Takayuki spoke, he manipulated the computer, and on the large screen behind him, the authorization prices for this ga engine were displayed.
The authorization price for the first-party exclusive partners of Gastar Entertainnt was three percent of each ga's profit.
For third-party partners selling gas on platforms, the authorization price was four percent of each ga's profit.
Seeing this price, these people quickly began to calculate the pros and cons in their minds.
Just paying three or four percent of the ga's profit to use this engine for ga developnt was much lower than the cost of manually producing gas.
Seeing this authorization price, Hayakawa also felt a bit envious.
But he estimated that he wouldn't be within this range of authorization prices.
Surai Electronics and Gastar Entertainnt were competitors; Gastar Entertainnt couldn't possibly easily...
At this mont, Takayuki flipped to the next page of the PowerPoint presentation, and on the next page was written the third authorization condition.
For non-GastarEntertainnt partners, they could pay for the use of the ga engine once every ten years, with paynt possible annually, but the contract must be for at least ten years.
Hayakawa's thoughts were disrupted by this.
What's going on?
Does this an that Gastar Entertainnt's competitors can also obtain the right to use the ga engine?
But it's not charged as a percentage, it's an annual paynt, and the contract has to be for at least ten years. Hayakawa was very surprised.
What is Takayuki thinking?
Could it be that they're short of money now?
No, if they were short of money, they wouldn't allow paynt in annual installnts; they would require a lump sum paynt.
"President Takayuki, what does that third condition an? Does it an that competitors of Gastar Entertainnt can also use this engine?"
Seeing the third condition, soone among those present couldn't help but stand up and ask the question Hayakawa most wanted to ask.
Takayuki nodded, "That's right, that's what it ans. Actually, it's not limited to just that. The aning of non-partners can also include industries other than the ga developnt industry, such as future film and television special effects, engineering design, and so on. These are naturally not our company's partners, but they can still have the right to use it."
"Then... what's the price?"
"Well... that's an internal matter for us. We will customize it based on the basic situation of the non-partner."
There are different prices, and I won't tell you where they differ. Everyone understood.
If they are competitors, they will definitely demand more money, while for those in industries with no competition relationship, it can be relatively cheaper.
However, this is still very worthwhile. Hayakawa's eyes gradually lit up.
Buying for ten years is completely fine, and it's not a one-ti paynt, just pay annually.
If necessary, he could just buy for ten years and then have his employees continue to study this engine over the next ten years, ultimately creating our own engine. This could greatly save costs and help ga developnt.
Moreover, Takayuki just said that this engine is not limited to ga developnt alone; it can also be applied to film and television special effects, engineering modeling, and even so data environnt simulation experints.
Surai Electronics happens to have its own film and television company, so he can convince the film and television departnt to jointly purchase with us, using it to develop gas on our end while the film and television departnt uses it to develop special effects. It's truly a win-win situation!
Thinking about this, Hayakawa's originally sowhat bad mood suddenly improved a lot!
