It seems like I accidentally had some pretty bad and excessive thoughts in my mind.
Goto: "What do you mean by opportunity?"
Muto: "Since you're in the same band, you should be able to see each other every day. Before next Friday, find time to give me a video call, and then you can play a song for me."
Muto: "If your performance is acceptable, or if I see potential in you, I'll sign you and your two seniors together."
Muto: “Is this okay?”
Goto: "Thank you very much!"
The communication with Goto Ichiri came to a temporary end, and Muto Yu did not expect it to be so smooth.
The main reason is that he is so famous now. If it was just false fame, it would not have such an exaggerated effect. What is more important is the achievements behind the fame.
Three billion yen in three months, a high school student who just turned sixteen, an inspiring young man whose parents have both passed away, a brilliant game maker...
This is definitely someone else's child among other people's children.
Almost all of Muto Yu's peers who know about his deeds have admiration and envy as their first impression of him. Only geniuses who are not far away from him can feel jealous.
Back to the point, not only did he solve the band's problem, but he also took the initiative into his own hands. In the future, he could decide how to treat the band according to his mood.
Of course, they are all high-quality resources after all, so he won't treat them unfairly.
After all, money is just a string of numbers to Muto Yu. He really has no interest in the luxuries enjoyed by the so-called upper class.
If you want a long and healthy body, you can add points to basic attributes. As your physical fitness improves, your life level will also slowly improve. In the future, achieving immortality and stepping into the extraordinary realm will not be a dream.
If you want a good living environment, you can increase your skill level by points. With powerful abilities, you can easily grab a lot of money from the world. For example, if you upgrade your cooking skill to Lv10, you can make a magical meal that can extend your life by ten years.
If you want a strong power background, you need to accumulate points and increase the aura level. After cultivating for a period of time, a terrifying power with members who are loyal to Muto Yu and whose abilities are growing rapidly will gradually take shape.
So as long as the number of points is sufficient, Muto Yu can do almost anything. If there is something he can't do, it means that he doesn't have enough points!
On Saturday, Muto Yu got up early, washed up, changed into a more formal suit, had breakfast, and rode his motorcycle towards his destination.
When he arrived at the coffee shop fifteen minutes before the agreed time, he found three girls with very different styles already sitting in the six-person booth.
Speaking of which, since he came here, he always set out early, but the girl always came earlier than him.
He had never encountered such a situation in his previous life. It was good enough if the woman could arrive on time, but if she arrived earlier than him, he would have no chance of success.
Chapter 65: "To the Moon" Signing a Contract
"Everyone arrived so early! I arrived fifteen minutes early, but I'm still later than you."
"After all, Muto-kun is our boss. As subordinates, how can we keep our boss waiting for so long?"
Kasumigaoka said with a smile that they were quite familiar with each other in the group, so she could relax a little more now.
Of course, he still didn't dare to be too rude to Muto Yu. After all, he had no relationship with the boss, and an employee who dared to be disrespectful to the boss would not survive long in the workplace.
"Okay, enough chit-chat. I'm here to give you the contract today."
As Muto Yu spoke, he opened his briefcase and pulled out nine contracts, three copies for each person.
"Please take a look at the contract first. The notarized lawyer will arrive in a while."
In fact, there was no point in finding a lawyer to notarize the contract signed with the girls. However, in order to appear as formal and serious as possible, Muto Yu still did this matter more carefully.
The main purpose is to reassure the girls, and for Yu Muto, the side effect of the halo is a stronger and more powerful constraint than a contract.
"By the way, you can also find a lawyer to help you take a look at the contract to prevent any loopholes that may be detrimental to your interests."
"Then... let me look for it. I have a legal advisor at home."
After hearing what Yu Muto said, Eriri hesitated for a moment and raised her hand weakly. She was also a little worried that the other party might play some word games in the contract.
This is not paranoia, but because she has drawn many comics on this subject, she tends to think too much, which is a necessary vigilance.
"I've told you before, and I'll say it again. This contract is only for To the Moon. After all, it's a profit-sharing contract. Future games will need to be adjusted based on actual conditions."
Giving everyone a 1% share seems fair, but it is actually not. For example, in "To the Moon", copywriting is of paramount importance and music is also a decisive factor, but the requirements for art and programming are only that the characters and scenes are pleasing to the eye and the game runs smoothly without errors.
It is obviously unreasonable for Utaha Kasumigaoka to take a fixed 1% share of future games with weak plots and heavy gameplay.
In short, the subsequent complex systems need to be established bit by bit, and there is nothing that can be done if the systems are not perfect.
Naturally, the three of them expressed their understanding of this, but when Kato Megumi suddenly said, "I understand the president too," she scared the two people beside her.
If they are not careful, they will ignore each other. This incredible situation still makes them feel magical.
Of course, Muto Yu, who can observe Kato Megumi at any time, is also a very incredible existence in their eyes.
Soon, the lawyers hired by Yu Muto and Eriri arrived, and then the two lawyers each took a contract and began to review it word by word.
As for Yuu Muto, he naturally continued to talk about his own things.
"Speaking of which, the president hasn't given me the plot summary for 'To the Moon' yet. Did you forget?"
"I either forgot or I didn't plan to send it to you right now. You can't do two things at once. You should finish your work perfectly before worrying about anything else."
After answering Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, Muto Yuu paused slightly and then continued.
"The 'To the Moon' project is planned to be completed before the end of summer vacation, so we still have plenty of time, almost three months left."
"What if I complete the development tasks I'm responsible for early?"
Sawamura Eriri, who made the fastest progress, raised her hand with a curious expression on her face. The answer she most wanted to hear was that she could start developing the next game in advance.
But the actual answer is:
"If you complete the task ahead of time, you can move freely. You can refine your work and ignore the club's affairs for the time being."
"Eh? Can't you take on the next game's mission?"
"That alone won't do!"
On this issue, Muto Yu refused quite decisively, and even said that it was not a good thing for Eriri to finish it early.
It has been mentioned before that when a team works together to participate in a project, they must follow the project schedule management plan. Whether it is fast or slow, it will have a greater or lesser impact on the entire project.
Because the first work "To the Moon" was for everyone to practice and get used to each other, and there are not many people now, so Yu Muto did not formulate a strict progress management plan.
Afterwards, Kasumigaoka also asked a few questions related to game development, and Muto Yuya answered them one by one. Kato Megumi blinked, hesitated for a moment, took out her mobile phone, and sent a few private messages to the other party on Line.
Kato: "President, I feel that at my current self-study pace, completing the game program in three months is a bit of a stretch."
Kato: "Will I end up holding everyone back?"
After seeing the news, Muto Yu subconsciously looked up at Kato Megumi, who was still calm and composed. When their eyes met, he could feel a bit of inferiority and self-blame deep in the girl's heart.
Compared with the geniuses Sawamura Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kato Megumi is really just an ordinary and ordinary high school student.
This gap made her feel inferior, and she might hold everyone back, causing the game to not be completed on time, which made her feel guilty.
Muto: "Don't worry, I'll give you some special training later. Three months is plenty of time for you."
Muto: "If you don't believe in yourself, then you should believe in me who believes in you. Don't worry."
The comfort from Muto Yu also made Kato Megumi gradually calm down. In a corner where no one noticed, there seemed to be something indescribable in the girl's eyes when she looked at the boy.
Finally, the two lawyers put down the contract and gave the result that there was no word trap. Then the three girls (Party B) and Muto Yu (Party A) signed the first game profit-sharing contract in their lives under the witness of the lawyers.
"Okay, the contract has been signed, and enough of the small talk. Now we need to seriously discuss a very important issue."
"A very important question?" ×3
After the lawyer left, the three girls became nervous and serious when they heard what Muto Yu said. Besides their seriousness, there was also a hint of excitement that they themselves did not notice.
"That's the name of our club. Until now, our club hasn't decided on an official name. Besides the name, there's also a club logo."
Chapter 66: Determine the studio name and logo
After hearing what Muto Yu said, Kasumigaoka Utaha and the other two were slightly stunned. After looking at each other for a moment, they turned to him and asked in a strange way.
"Shouldn't you, as the club president, come up with the name of the club?"
"I did think of a name, but in order to consider everyone's wishes and also to allow for the possibility of a better name, wouldn't it be nice for us to discuss it together?"
Yu Muto is actually not good at naming, so he hopes to gather ideas from everyone to see if there are any better options.
"Then... President, could you please tell me what you think?"
When talking about serious matters, Kasumigaoka Utaha would call Muto Yuu "President" and use honorifics in her speech.
And Muto Yu had no intention of correcting this. Anyway, it would not affect the passive influence of the halo on the opponent's heart, and there would be no possibility of any difference in the relationship in the future.
"Well, let me throw some ideas in the air. I'm thinking of calling it Alpha Studios, after the first letter of the Greek alphabet, α."
"Alpha... I remember it also has extended meanings like beginning or first, right?"
After a little thought, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had the most profound literary foundation, gave her own evaluation, while Sawamura Eriri next to her also repeated it several times in her mouth, and finally nodded vigorously.
"This name is quite good and it sounds smooth. Why does the president think this name is bad?"
"Well, don't you think it's too simple?"
Seeing that both of them had expressions of great approval, it was Yu Muto's turn to be stunned.
"It's easier to remember if it's simple and clear. If it's too complicated and hard to pronounce, it will affect the popularity of the studio's name, right?"
Kato Megumi, who had been silent all this time, also gave her own opinion, which drew nods of agreement from Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others.
"Then... it's settled?"
"Well, Alpha is pretty good, and it's impossible that the president will only have a small club like ours under him in the future, right?
As more studios were built, starting with the name Alpha, subsequent names could be named using Greek letters such as Beta (beta/β) and Gamma (gamma/γ).
This ensures that the naming style remains consistent, while also keeping the names simple and clear.”
"Okay, then it's settled. The name of our small studio will be Alpha Studio."
Although at the beginning Yu Muto intended to start a discussion and let the three girls brainstorm to come up with a better name for himself, after listening to Kasumigaoka Utaha's idea, he felt that this simple style was also good.
"So, our next topic is the studio logo, which is displayed when each game loads, and is equivalent to our studio's business card."
After the name was decided, the next step was naturally to design the logo. As mentioned before, "Kayaba Akihiko" is a personal logo unique to Muto Yu. He can add this logo to the games produced by the studio, but he cannot allow the studio to use this logo directly.
Because Muto Yu wants to ensure the value of his golden signboard. As long as the signboard named "Kayaba Akihiko" does not fall, he will never worry about publicity issues in the future.
"I have a suggestion. Since the name is so simple, why not make the logo simpler, like the company president, Akihiko Kayaba's seal logo?"
Logo design can be considered an issue in the field of art, so it was Eriri Sawamura who raised her hand to speak out this time.
"Do you have any idea?"
"Just like this."
In response to Yu Muto's question, Eriri took out her notebook and started writing and drawing on it.
It still has the feeling of a square seal, but Kayaba Akihiko's logo is a square seal, while the one drawn by Eriri is a rectangular seal.
In the rectangular seal frame, there is a string of English letters αlpha. In addition, Yinglili replaced the first letter a with the Greek letter α, and added some artistic modifications, such as three-dimensional reflections.
It really looks like that, at least for Yu Muto, the logo has been approved. But for everyone's wishes, he asked Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi another question.
"What do you think? Any suggestions?"
"I know nothing about art and logo design, so I can't offer any suitable advice. However, I think the logo designed by Sawamura-san is pretty good."
"Leave professional matters to professionals. I also think this logo is great and I don't have any suggestions."
Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha gave their opinions one after another, and with the final nod of agreement from Muto Yu, the name and logo were finalized.
At noon, Yu Muto invited the three of them to a family restaurant for a meal to celebrate the official launch of Alpha Studio.
In the afternoon, Yu Muto went to the relevant department alone to submit documents such as the studio registration and logo. The newly registered documents included not only the name and logo of Alpha Studio, but also 25 other Greek letter studios of the same style and corresponding logos of the same style.
For Yuu Muto now, the registration cost is a small amount of money, which is better than having some problems in the future and wrangling back and forth.
Quietly, Yu Muto also registered social accounts on major platforms of the Twenty-Six Greek Letters Studio.
Although only Alpha Studio actually exists for now, it is still better to prepare in advance than to argue back and forth after someone else registers your trademark.
Now that Yu Muto has ignited the gaming industry, countless small studios are popping up like mushrooms every day.
These twenty-six Greek letter studios did not attract anyone's attention, which was what Yu Muto wanted to see.
At least before the game promotion begins, Muto Yu does not want to expose Eriri and the others to the media too early, as this will cause them considerable psychological pressure.
After all, no matter how talented they are, they are just high school students, and their ability to withstand psychological pressure is not that strong.
