November 27.
Raimon found that the sale was just a poorly written script, with random ideas and a folder of Dungeons & Dragons gas they had organized for so ti. The mistakes were clear. And Raimon felt that he disappointed Billy, by all his actions.
-I got the ga, - he sent a ssage, still disappointed and worried about the poor imitation. He hadn't counted on things developing in this way. He sent the data to RPG Platforms and looked at his next purchase. He would have to travel to Maryland to et with Steve Parks, but now he had much less confidence in what he could and couldn't do.
He continued his journey to Lux Animation without first going to the area being developed for Billy. There, he would have an apartnt all to himself. The building housed 14 apartnts, each 90 square ters, along with comrcial spaces on the facade covered by expensive clothing brands. There was the plaza, the museum, and another famous restaurant in the area. Two acres were reserved for a fast-food area, with the best locations that Billy wanted for his food company.
-I expected you to take much longer than expected, - said Joseph Blinky.
-Well, it was a folly. Interplay got the better of us. However, now I think it's best to wait for Billy. He'll know what to do, - said Raimon.
-It doesn't matter. If Billy sent you to buy them, it was for a special reason, and I don't think he's telling us everything he should. However, Steve Parks has already made the deal for Elder Scrolls. He exchanged a license for the engine developed by ID Software for the sale of their video ga and paid $800,000 for them to continue developing the ga, along with sales percentages. He ntioned that as long as they can keep doing the work well, they'll have ownership of the ga, and he even left negotiations open, - said Joseph Blinky.
-From now on, let the negotiators do things for their own business, - thought Raimon, while taking a seat. Being swindled, the anger in his heart could not be cald. For the first ti, he went up to the fifth floor of the company and started sorting out the accounts, from Lux Animation, Lux Distribution, and Lux Comics, to stocks. Over the next few days, like a hunting dog, he concentrated all his anger on his work, along with long conversations with Jim Gianopulus. They began to lay out the first steps to develop the television program, which already had a video ga for sale but hadn't caused much sensation, as it was an online ga.
Joseph received the task of expanding to a second team by Billy. He had to make a ga according to his specifications, and later he would assign new and different tasks.
Billy now had no negatives. He would consu all the great RPG platform gas he knew and expand to a third team. For now, the Pokémon, Baldur's Gate, and Fate series franchises were enough for gas in the next twenty years.
The Fate series was a historical RPG ga featuring great heroes of history, starting with Joan of Arc, followed by Arturia Pendragon, Gilgash, Sigfrid, Achilles, the Fifty Thieves, and the story of Emiya Shirui. Additionally, Divinity, Triangle Strategy, Valkyria Chronicles, and others could fit into animated series, similar to X-com.

During the following days, he had many talks and schedules, although he stayed in space if Billy's assertions were true. He only smiled at the ti of departure for him. It was 1997 when he could use his constant source of inco that was beginning to earn. The extra inco from advertising and toy sales added at least 3 to 4 million dollars monthly, along with video ga and comic sales of at least 9 million dollars monthly. The monthly profit was enough to continue his extracurricular activities, such as buying shares in Marvel and investing in technology companies.
Autodesk's revenues were generating extra inco to continue investing in the company, and now they were sufficient to invest in 3D software developnt. However, what paid the bills were the high revenues from movies. In December, they would receive royalties from The Lion King, with international box office earnings and so dostic, totaling $243 million, of which $90 million remained after paying off so credits and debts. The company was now focused on one thing: the Star Wars franchise. Scripts had been approved, and by the end of 1995, filming would begin, with a probable release date in 1997. The next film would start production in 1997, with a probable release date in 1999, and the following one had no fixed date yet. However, expenses kept increasing due to the studio they wanted to build in San Jose. The investnt for the construction of the entire studio began at $12 million, dedicated solely to Star Wars for now.
Microsoft assigned a special employee for the developnt of the video ga company. They appointed Phil Spencer as the official developer, and together they planned the sale of the various loans they made.
-Well, you were right. Seeing the contract you have with Sony and the clear facts that they've created a video ga company, it's evident they'll enter the video ga market. But what gives more clarity is the news that on December 6, the PlayStation 1 will be released, a console by Sony, - said Phil Spencer.
-in that case, I think I'll make the licensed ga for Microsoft, as promised. It can only be used for two updates of the company, then there'll be a price for its use that we'll set based on the success of the ga, - said Billy, finishing the final test of his ga, one that would be hailed as one of the best of its ti, Jewel Blitz, and then he would imrse himself in Candy Crush developnt.
The licensing terms also did not exceed six years, which was a crucial piece of information, as lengthy developnts often falter. It was clear that the company would be under allied video ga corporations, each developing their own ga houses, and both investing in console production. Profits would be higher than with other consoles because the gas sold belonged to each company, and console sales would be split evenly.
Each contract was evidence of an ongoing negotiation, such as the license. All terms were binding. Billy's capital was both industrial and social, as he would provide the extra products for the gaming console, along with the roadmap and funds.
The investnt money from each party was $50 million, but Billy would have to invest $80 million since Microsoft's technologies and factories would be used. Billy was the creative director and co-president. The list of options for the company's birth required all the assertions he ntioned to be fulfilled in the coming years.
-Well, let's hope for your ga. If you can make a ga for February 1995, which is when we'll launch Windows 3, - Phil Spencer ntioned.
-Don't worry, we'll have it ready. However, you should know that these kinds of video gas are not so easy to make. I might make updates to the ga in the coming months, - said Billy.
-We understand. For now, let's focus on the routine details of ga delivery, - Phil ntioned, concluding the eting. The four three days of constant etings had many things that were important in their way for both companies
