A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 119

Meanwhile, Drakengard Games was steadily developing.

Panzer Saga continued to bring substantial profits to Drakengard Games. However, Patrick and Luca realized that, as a small game, Panzer Saga's ability to generate revenue was far inferior to large-scale online games.

As time passed and the initial excitement faded, they knew that if Drakengard Games could not continuously develop new trending games, it would soon be eliminated from the market.

They understood that in order to secure a position in the gaming industry, Drakengard Games needed to have a signature game—a game that could last and remain popular for a long time.

Though Panzer Saga had achieved success, it was still far from being a powerhouse game that could generate constant revenue and draw attention.

Fortunately, the success of Panzer Saga had given Drakengard Games its first substantial funding. But deciding to develop a large-scale game would require an enormous investment, with very high risks involved.

Although many venture capitalists were willing to invest in Drakengard Games, their terms were extremely harsh.

Some even demanded 80% ownership of Drakengard Games after investing millions or proposed terms that would put the company in impossible situations.

This was clearly unacceptable to Jack and Patrick.

Jack realized that while Drakengard Games had succeeded with Panzer Saga, investors generally viewed this as a fluke.

Many companies either succeeded by a stroke of luck or through capitalizing on a trend, but such success was often unsustainable.

Many people mistook this temporary success for their own ability, blindly investing, which ultimately led to the company's collapse.

Therefore, when deciding whether to develop a large-scale game, Jack and Patrick had to be cautious.

Patrick suggested a more conservative approach—using the existing funds to release a sequel, Panzer Saga 2, to ensure continued profits.

Jack didn't fully agree with Patrick's suggestion. He believed that besides upgrading Panzer Saga, they should also develop a new small game.

At the same time, Jack planned to recruit more gaming talent and form a completely new large team, focusing on the development of a big game.

Jack's ambitions were not to be underestimated. He wasn't satisfied with the status quo.

In this age of transformation, those who didn't move forward would fall behind. Only through striving for progress could they achieve success.
