Yugo and Yuna's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Boss-sama, you're just 17 years old?! Shouldn't you still be in high school?!" Yugo exclaid.
Yuna, still in shock, added, "Did you apply for early graduation?"
Zaboru scratched his head, slightly embarrassed. "Yeah, sothing like that..."
Yuna let out a deep sigh before giving him an impressed smile. "I can't believe my boss is younger than , but still... you're really sothing, Boss."
Yugo grinned widely and nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! You're seriously cool, Boss-sama!"
Zaboru chuckled. "Alright, alright, let's not dwell on that. Do you two have any questions?"
Yuna was the first to speak. "Boss, did you patent all of your gas and characters?"
Zaboru nodded. "Of course. I made sure to patent everything, and the legal docunts will be finalized once ZAGE officially launches."
Yugo tilted his head. "What about ZAS, Boss-sama?"
Zaboru gave him a confident nod. "Yup, ZAS is included."
Yugo suddenly frowned, deep in thought. "So... ZAS and your other gas weren't patented until recently? Weren't you afraid soone would steal your ideas?"
Zaboru scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Well... yeah, I kinda forgot to do it earlier. But hey, it's patented now. Besides, most people don't see video gas as a profitable industry yet. They still think it's a dead market after the Atari crash, so nobody's really looking to exploit it. But trust —this industry is going to explode again, and when it does, ZAGE will be at the forefront."
Yugo nodded with admiration, while Yuna tapped her chin, thinking of another question. "Boss, what if other developers want to make gas for ZEPS? Will you allow it?"
Zaboru leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. "I will, but under strict conditions. The Atari crash happened because anyone could make a ga, which led to an overflow of low-quality, cash-grab titles. While having a variety of gas is good, it also created an industry filled with garbage that ultimately led to its collapse. I won't let that happen to ZAGE."
Yuna raised an eyebrow. "So... how do you plan to control it?"
"I'll establish a quality control process. Any developer wanting to publish on ZAGE consoles will need to et certain requirents. I'll personally review their work—or hire a team to do so in the future—to ensure they et a standard of quality. We don't need an industry flooded with trash gas that ruin the market."
Yuna nodded, impressed by his foresight. "That makes sense... but what if people try to bypass your system and make their own unauthorized gas?"
Zaboru smirked. "I've thought of that. ZEPS and its cartridges have a proprietary security chip. If a ga doesn't have the official chip, the console won't run it. It's not a perfect solution, but it'll deter most unauthorized developers."
Yuna and Yugo exchanged looks of amazent. It was clear that Zaboru wasn't just thinking about short-term success—he was planning for the long haul.
"So," Yuna continued, "you'll be looking for more employees in the future?"
Zaboru nodded. "Yeah. Once the company officially launches, I'll need finance managers, sales managers, quality control testers, more programrs... and a dedicated lawyer to make sure no one can exploit loopholes in our policies."
Yuna was impressed with his strategic mindset. anwhile, Yugo raised his hand like an excited student. "Boss-sama! How many gas do you plan to release each year?"
Zaboru smiled. "That depends, really. But I plan to release a lot."
Yugo's grin stretched from ear to ear. He was beyond excited for the future.
As the siblings returned to work, examining the ZEPS console and cartridges, Zaboru leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.
'I hope that by introducing amazing gas from my past life, I can inspire other developers to create their own innovative titles. The gaming industry needs to keep evolving. I don't want it to stagnate like how Pokémon did in my previous life.'
Zaboru's mind wandered back to how Nintendo and Ga Freak handled Pokémon. The early gas were fantastic, and the franchise was a massive success. But as ti went on, the gas beca diocre, barely innovating, yet still selling millions due to brand loyalty. When a fresh new competitor like Palworld ca along with innovative gaplay, Nintendo and Ga Freak panicked and sued them, even going so far as to try patenting ga chanics.
'That's exactly the kind of thing I want to prevent,' Zaboru thought. 'Patenting ga chanics stifles creativity and innovation. Imagine if Super Mario Bros. patented jumping chanics, or if tal Gear Solid patented stealth and alert systems. The gaming industry would be full of restrictions, killing any chance of progress. No—gas should be about innovation, not legal battles. I'll make sure ZAGE helps the industry thrive, not suffocate it.'
With a determined grin, Zaboru looked forward to what the future held for ZAGE and the gaming industry as a whole.
