Another world Game Developers in Japan`s 1991-Chapter 227 - 204: ZAGE PC Gaming Department

Saturday, 8 march, 1992

After deep talk with his dad and Spending time with His family Zaboru went back to the office even though it's the weekend.

With March starting, Zaboru found himself more overwhelmed than ever. His workload had grown considerably, but he had faith in his team. He trusted his employees to handle the six highly anticipated game releases for March release, leaving him to focus on the company's expansion. ZAGE was growing at a remarkable pace. New talent was being recruited, and the recent hiring efforts for the PC gaming development and R&D departments had been a massive success. Many promising developers and engineers had already been interviewed by the HR team, and Zaboru was eager to get them on board. Now, seated in his personal workshop in ZAGE's first building, he had a mountain of tasks ahead of him.MGB Release didn't really affect him maybe because it's just yesterday they released.

He needed to finalize the detailed story and character designs for SpongeBob SquarePants before sending them to YaDo Animation. In his past life, SpongeBob became a global sensation, so he was confident in its success. His plan was to debut it in Japan first, ensuring it had a strong foundation before expanding internationally. Then, there was the Kamen Rider Black project. He had to recreate the iconic theme song, ensuring that this world would experience the same legendary opening that had captivated millions. He had already contacted Kyotaro-san regarding the music production, and everything seemed to be moving smoothly.

On the business front, ZAGE's expansion into the overseas market was progressing well. Emerald Wings had successfully imported the first batch of ZEPS consoles after a thorough quality check by their manufacturers. The games had already been translated into English, thanks to Zaboru's foresight in including English versions from the very start. The next step was for Saiko Machine and Mirai Manufacturer to establish dedicated production lines for translated games, something they had already begun implementing. Looking ahead, Zaboru wanted to introduce built-in language options for future games, at least supporting English and Japanese at launch. This would further solidify ZAGE's position as a global gaming powerhouse.

Taking notes in his planner, he turned his attention to manufacturing. He had plans to establish production facilities outside Japan that specialized in worldwide shipping, but before making any major decisions, he needed to consult with Ryan and James from Emerald Wings. Since they were ZAGE's partners in the U.S., their insight would be invaluable. Meanwhile, the handheld division was steadily progressing. Miyagi Batteries was making incredible advancements in developing the specialized battery technology he envisioned. However, the handheld console's development needed to accelerate, and for that, a fully operational R&D department was crucial. If everything went as planned, the newly hired engineers would start next week, pushing the project forward at an even faster pace.

The PC gaming department was another massive priority. If executed correctly, ZAGE could establish a strong presence in the PC market, a sector with immense potential. Unlike console gaming, the PC audience had a wider reach, allowing ZAGE to expand its influence beyond traditional gamers. If everything went smoothly, the first ZAGE PC titles would be ready for an April launch. He needed to finalize the game lineup, ensuring that their debut into the PC space was as strong as possible.

He leaned back in his chair and smirked. The first game on the list was an easy decision—Doom. This game was nothing short of revolutionary. In his previous world, Doom had proven itself as one of the most influential shooters ever created. It was infamous for running on almost anything, from ATMs to calculators. Its fast-paced, gun-filled gameplay was exactly what the American audience craved, making it a perfect launch title for ZAGE's PC division. Next on the list was SimCity. It was a brilliant game with deep strategic elements, and it had an appeal that extended beyond hardcore gamers. People from all walks of life could enjoy the thrill of city-building, making it an excellent addition to ZAGE's growing library.

Motion capture was another area he wanted to explore. Prince of Persia had pioneered the use of realistic animations in platforming games back in his previous world, and if ZAGE could implement similar technology, it would set their PC division apart from the competition. It was a bold idea, but one that could pay off tremendously. Additionally, he wanted to bring Tetris to the PC platform. It was a game that transcended generations, a simple yet addicting experience that casual and hardcore players alike could enjoy. Making it available on PC would further broaden its reach.

Finally, he considered bringing Warcraft: Orcs & Humans into existence ahead of schedule. In his previous life, the first Warcraft game wasn't released until 1994, but the current technology in 1992 was more than capable of handling it. If he played his cards right, he could introduce the Warcraft franchise early, setting the foundation for what could become one of the biggest strategy game series in history. The thought of shaping the future of PC gaming excited him.

Feeling inspired, he grabbed his pen and jotted down additional ideas. Perhaps he could even experiment with networking capabilities for future ZAGE PC titles. Online gaming was still almost non existent but if ZAGE could tap into that market early, they would be ahead of the curve. There were so many possibilities, and he was determined to explore all of them.

Zaboru put down his notes and stretched. His schedule was packed, but he thrived under pressure. With the right strategy and a bit of calculated risk-taking, ZAGE's expansion would continue at an unstoppable pace. The gaming industry was evolving rapidly, with Competitors that surely appeared here and there so he intended to stay ahead of the competition every step of the way.

"Heh. I hope ZAGE expansion will go smoothly"
