Another Reboot

Matt's awsome idea corner.

So first idea to save the industry (or more like an opportunity)*snips from my post on pori

"I had a thought – could this infact be an opportunity for jast (bare with me a moment)most of the stuff on the list is completly legal in the states and they’d have quite a hard time banning it due to those rule things the Americans have (American people may be pretty mad but their Courts are quite good and you can wrap stuff up in courts for decades – and yanks hate being told what to do.)

Now if the Japanese companies are heavily reduced in their abilities to operate in Japan could they not operate via JAST the companies transfer rights to JAST have a nice royalty deal and Jast release the game from their US branch (subbed of course), the Japanese fans can then import at higher costs netting jast and the original developer a nice return."

Thought number two;
Games companies could split into two, an art company and a text game company (bare with me) the text game company has all the writers and story people, they make a "text adventure game" that has hooks for images but no images.

The art company meanwhile makes art that will hook into the "text adventure game" and sells it as art packs. Now once the text game is out any company could make art packs for it, also any writing company could make text adventure games compatible with various art packs or parts of them.

The two things are seperate and sold by seperate companies either could be enjoyed on their own, one as a novel the other as a set of naughty slides, bring the two together and you have magic. It also seems like a uniquely Japanese solution, much like tentical porn and little black lines.

The other thing is these art packs could be used by anyone for games as the art pack publishers couldn't say "you must use it with these titles" as that would make it too much as though they were a single product (even though they are - but arn't) so it means people who can't draw can write games that can be used with legit quality image pack. And hey if you're an awsome artist then you can make art packs and sell them to go with various games packs.
