Will Wright has been a game producer sihe 80s, and in his journey of game development, he has delved into the uable sce behind creating them. Each game is a new creation crafted by creators who pour their entire being into a particur game.
I have studied game designs for a month to respond to Billy Carson, a child, and his pany Lux ics, who arrived with a fantastic proposal over thirty days ago, breaking all the molds that Eleic Arts has desired sis iion.
Retly, he had ahusiastic meeting with the entire produ team and, together with his brilliant illustrators, they are seeking to unravel whether it is feasible for the pany to develop this game. They sider factors like finances, development capabilities, and most importantly, satisfying their paying pyers. No more selling recycled games like Atari did during the market saturation of 1983.
Therefore, despite having a strong initial proposal for the game being developed, a good idea alone is not suffit for the gaming industry, especially in this era. There are a series of possibilities that ot be addressed at the moment, and the pany's future ot be risked, even with its love for video games.
The reasons behind this decisiowofold. First, due to the limited teological advas of the time. Game produ requires puter skills, and nowadays, the tools that facilitate this industry are ten times more plex. Sed, due to the industry's pt during this era, given the signifit colpse it has experienced over the years.
-Therefore, it is not possible to proceed with the game. At Eleic Arts, we regret that we ot establish a long-term retionship, but this is the nature of things. At this moment, the pany ot accept the tract proposal, - said Mr. Wright.
With regret and a hint of sadness in his heart for this missed opportunity, he decides to move on from this retionship that could have geed great profits. Above all, it's about Eleic Arts and its future in the gaming industry.
-Yes, sir, it's a shame that as a pany, we ot colborate with Lux ics. I hope to have some ta the future. The pany is always willing to establish a retionship with Eleic Arts, - Anne said, feeling a bit disheartened by the bad news.
-Very well, if possible, we would be delighted, - Will Wright remarked.
-Mr. Wright, before you go, perhaps you could tell us about some people who could help us fulfill our purpose, - Anne asked.
-I will send you some names, although I only do that. There is no guarahat they will decide to produce yame, - Will Wright said.
-That would be great news for me to hear. - Anne said. - Do you know my fax number so you sehe information? -
-Don't bother, I will call you or have my secretary send you the tact details of those pahat help you create those games. Additionally, I will provide you with a letter of reendation. Give me a week to sort out this little matter, Miss Anne, - Will mentioned.
-Perfect, without further ado, I will eagerly await your call, - Anne responded.
Based on their research, pahat had a good reputation during this era were Sega of America, which has a presen the try and could serve as a ung pad. Atari Games, although uain of the potential outes due to the numerous setbacks the pany has faced, and Nintendo of America, although not necessarily a game producer, the tact could lead them to Japan, the birthpce of video games.
Factory produ has multiplied, and they aim to double the entire produ to meet the demand. They lost some money by resg Dark Horse ics, which has caused a series of inveniences and has been a headache to resolve. The produ is less profitable, and the shipment has reduced profits.
As the Carsons arrived at the pany, only the owner of the pany would enter with suthusiasm. Mr. Thomas Carson, father, and representative of Billy, had been postponing discussions on nent matters until his beloved little genius returned.
-A's a pleasure to see you! - Billy said.
-Likewise, who would have thought that two weeks away from the pany, and the world would almost e crashing down, - Anne sarcastically remarked.
-Oh, e on!" Billy said. - You're an intelligent person with great abilities, - Billy added.
-Well, e to the feren. I have some important things to discuss, - Anne said.
The Carsons followed her closely, with hesitant looks on their faces.
-Well, now that everyone is here, we have received a profit of one million two huhousand dolrs (1,200,000) for December 5th, 1989, not ting the dedus for taxes, -Anne announced.
-Wow! That's a lot of money, - Billy excimed. - What are the sales statistics? Where is all this money ing from? - Billy questioned, almost incredulous about the sudden increase in revenue.
-Well, it's obvious from the ic book sales. Almost all of our characters have been selling oer another non-stop. Even if we increase produ on a small scale, it wouldn't be enough. We o buy another printing mae to keep up with produ or enlist the serviike Richardson. We have tax exemptions due to officially having twenty employees, - Anne expined.
-Well, let's buy a mae," Billy suggested. "But let's not increase the number of employees too much. With twenty employees, we make it work if we buy another printing mae? - the young man asked.
-With twenty-four employees, you operate four produ lines per employee, - Anne replied. - However, we need a supervisor who knows order processing, and employee protocols, and hahe workload better than I , - she added.
-Done, I will post the job offer at the employment agend in the neer, - Thomas said.
-So, how will the pany's expenses be allocated? - Anne asked.
-Well, a 200 bonus for the employees and a 500 bonus for you. Set aside enough money for a mae. We will look for pahat are bankrupt or fag financial problems and inquire about purchasing their equipment. Alse for the necessary repairs and renovations to the factory and its facade, - Billy expined.
-Noted. Will you do something about the lot? There's plenty of free space, and it would be good to maintain it, - Anne suggested.
-Right, make the necessary arras for the surroundings,- Billy agreed. - By the way, how much space do we currently occupy in the factory? - he asked.
-Well, we only use what used to be the loading warehouse. So, we have the entire office area in the rear, which sists of three floors, and as hall oop floor. That ats for almost 70% of the premises. We only utilize a small portion of the factory, - Anne replied.
-Hmm, I see, -Billy pondered. - Sometimes, it's more cost-effective to demolish and rebuild. -
-Let's do as usual: keep a financial cushion of 100,000 in savings at the bank, pay the saries for this month, and take care of the necessary structural repairs, - Billy instructed.
-The rest be reied in stocks, - Billy tinued.
-Wait, about that, I ducted a study on the panies you previously highlighted, and I have an idea, although I don't see many good opportunities. But you're the boss, - Anioned.
- you give me the data and names of those panies? I don't remember them all," Billy asked.
-Microsoft's stock is priced at 49 ts per share. Apple's shares are valued at 98 ts each, - Aated.
She paused as she reviewed the data.
-Walmart Stores Inc. has a price of 4.30 per share, - Anne added.
-Well, buy as much of those stocks as you . Hmm... How much money we i in stocks? - Billy asked.
-Around 800,000, although it's not advisable to i in such a votile market, - Anne replied.
- That much! - Billy sighed.
- Well, our numbers are stable, - Anne said, smiling.
-Make the bonus double. It's the end of the year, and Christmas is approag. Everyone wants to spend a little, - Billy suggested.
-I 200,000, 65,000 in each stock, - Billy instructed.
- So, 65,000 in Microsoft stocks, 65,000 in Apple stocks, and 65,000 in Walmart stocks,- Anne summarized.
-Yes, - Billy firmed.
- Son, are you sure you want to i nearly 200,000 in stocks of pahat don't have a good growth outlook? - Thomas questioned.
-Absolutely, - Billy replied resolutely. - Oh, wait, i an additional 65,000 in World, - he added.
-Noted, - Anne said.
-There would still be 500,000 left. Do you want to save it in the bank or... - Aarted to ask.
-I it in real estate, - Billy interrupted. - What do you think, Father? I'm thinking of buying a house in Los Angeles for our rip, - he said.
-That's a good idea, but the real estate agent hasn't found a suitable offer. The price is quite high, - Thomas expined.
-Well, let's i in San Jose then. How about a residential building? - Billy suggested.
-I don't think that's a good idea, son," Thomas responded. "Let me ha. I'll work with the real estate agency to find some iing properties. Who knows, maybe I'll e across something intriguing, -he added.
-No, Dad, I almost fot. There's a new pany called Pixar, and I'd like to i in them. You know, propose a business iment to them. It's simply perfect, - Billy said.
-Pixar? - Thomas questioned.
-Yes, they specialize in 3D animation. It would be great if we could i with them,- Billy expined.
-Well, that's my job, - Anne chimed in. - I'll call Pixar and see what I arrange, - she said.
The December meeting cluded.
