A sensory onslaught of sights, noises, and interactive activities filled the convention floor. Leading gaming studios, independent developers, and hardware vendors erect complex displays to display their most recent works. Unreleased games, virtual reality adventures, cutting-edge gaming accessories, and interactive installations that blend the real and virtual worlds are all available for visitors to try out.
And not only the people from the gaming community came but also from the side of rich people who by design didn't know much about gaming but had money to spend and invest in these games that could earn them money much later and it greater amount.
Robin was one of those wealthy men as well. But of course he acted like normal here like any other investor, and not the ruler. Guards weren't necessary for him, anyway. As Yamamoto once said 'why would he need guards when he himself was the guard?'. Although Robin wasn't particularly strong, he was currently unbeatable when speaking in terms of human standards
And the country was too secure for anyone to know his real identity and even try something funny here. And so Robin explored the conference with his companions. This was the first time he had ever been to a gaming conference.
The event saw the announcement of numerous games. Although North Korea set an extremely strict deadline for displaying their products, it was too big of a deal to allow it fall through the cracks, so game development firms pulled out all the stops.
The much anticipated Vice City 6 was finally given a trailer and people loved it. The studio had been working on this game for a while, and now it was finally ready. And that was not all even Bethesda showed some visuals from Elder Scrolls 6 and this made the people go crazy.
Even Robin was excited by it, and he personally congratulated Ted Howard and enquired further about the game. Even though Robin wasn't a huge gamer, some games are too dear to his heart. He spent his youth playing Oblivion and Skyrim. He even made investments in Bethesda and the game itself so that it could be developed more quickly and effectively.
The majority of Robin's time was spent at the conference, where he donated money to games that he believed would be useful in the future. He observed someone working on one Naruto game. It was "someone" because the person doing it was merely creating the game on their own and did not own sole rights to it.
A man by the name of Osiris was developing an open-world Naruto video game. Typically, Bandai published the Naruto video game and had the sole rights. However, this guy was taking a big risk and doing the work all by himself.
Even though there was still a long way to go, the game wasn't all that horrible.
Even after demonstrating his RPG game, there was hardly anyone to support him for two reasons. The first was that, even if he developed a Naruto movie, Bandai would eventually receive the proceeds due to the name's copyright because he lacked the necessary permission.
The project was also too grandiose for a single person to complete without assistance from a team. The first reason was primarily to blame for the lack of a suitable team, and his desire alone had brought him to this point. When Robin became intrigued by his game, he inquired.
"What if I grant you the Naruto license. Can you put a team together?
Osiris was delighted to see a well-dressed man approach his little booth and witness the sole trailer he had created for the game to attract attention from the general public. Osiris, a fervent lover of both Naruto and video games, had self-taught himself how to design games and had made it his life's work to create a top-notch Naruto RPG. Once he had created a pre alpha of the game, he sent emails to Bandai and Kishimoto's public domain in an effort to garner their attention.
But no one spoke up. After months of trying, he gave up and just concentrated on expanding the game and making it visible to the general public. He came here more for the fun and the attention than for the money. He only came for the gaming convention because he had heard such great things about the city and was interested in seeing what new games will be released there. He chose to display his game on his standard laptop in a cheaply-rented area of the massive conference purely on a whim.
As expected, there wasn't much fanfare and those who came to see the game were disappointed to know that his game wasn't official. Even though he didn't know Robin, the way he was dressed gave the impression that he was wealthy and well-connected.
"Uh Sir... Hello.. Good afternoon .. Don't you want to look into the game first and then decide what you want to do with it?" Osiris enquired. He didn't know much of formal decorum so he just greeted him like he did to others in his life and spoke directly.
"My Secretary here would have flagged me before I was permitted to meet you if the game was awful. Your portfolio is extremely excellent, from what I've read." said Robin.
"I'm grateful. I am trying my best." said Osiris. He was a light-skinned Scandinavian man with a light-brown short crew cut on his head, and like most gamers, he was dressed for the conference in a button-down shirt and pants. It was clear that he had come in purely for enjoyment and wasn't really trying to draw attention to his game.
He was little taken aback that this random Indian man that had shown up on his 'doorstep' knew about him and somehow the words of this man gave him hope. A hope that he could make a great game with some help.
"What about it, then? Will you be able to take the job and lead a team if I allow you to get the license on the game?"
"Lead a team?" Osiris failed to get what Robin was trying to say.
"Yeah. You have the bed and you will have to sleep on it. Don't you think so? If I make Bandai give you attention, you also need to reciprocate in the same manner. Now are you up for the job?" Robin enquired.
"Uh.. I am just a game maker. I don't have any skills of managing a team." Osiris' response was brief. He felt that leading a team would be bad because he lacked managerial skills.
"You don't need to think on that. You just need to provide your ideas and the team will help you build it. Moreover the team might also help you in return by providing their own version."
"Uh.. Are you really serious of giving me the license? I have tried contacting Bandai a thousand times and still no response."
"That is where I come in. I can make Bandai give you the maximum attention but I won't invest in the game and in return I will need 10% of the profit the game will make in the future." Directly, Robin said to him.
"10%?" Osiris hadn't anticipated a proportion as low as that. For someone who would simply introduce him to someone else, it would not seem like a huge deal, but in this day and age, contacts are quite valuable.
"Why? Too much?" Robin enquired while furrowing his brow. He initially intended to pay for the entire game, but he eventually restrained himself and realized why he was actually here. While he and Osiris were discussing, Sauvik and the rest were all watching the game. Suffice to say that even someone like Rita who didn't have much knowledge on games were hooked on by seeing the visuals and weebs like Sauvik and Rita's husband were very much excited and wished to play such a game in the future.
"No.. No.. I am just surprised that you will not be investing and just allow me to have contacts with Bandai and even let me have a team for it." Osiris shook his head and said.
"Good. The people from Bandai will approach you in a day or..." The smile that had been on Robin's face the entire time disappeared when he felt his phone vibrating. For various reasons, JARVIS had put on a particular vibration, and this vibration indicated that a bad situation of some sort had occurred.
He quickly took out his phone only to discover that he was receiving a message.
"The signal had been sent."
Cathrin who was holding his arm from the side felt a bit of tug from her boyfriend and that was enough of an indication to know that something had happened.
"Hon.. Is everything alright?"
"No. The signal had been sent."
Cathrin, Sauvik and Rita understood what he meant and their faces became grim.
"I need to leave. Myrene please help him make contact with Bandai and make the necessary arrangements." Robin said.
