Chapter 20: Moving in (IV)

He wouldn't say he had the figure he wanted after all the abs were still incoming, his muscles were still developing, and he has yet to achieve the so-called 'zero percent body fat' status.

For now, he looked like the average guy that ate healthy and used the gym to stay fit. It was not much progress, but it was still mind-blowing, such a feat should normally be achieved by months of working hard but he had achieved it in only three weeks.

Apart from that, Renovatio was slowly gaining in popularity. Its campaign mode didn't have any in-app purchases so he could only make money from sales but even that was more than enough.

The game currently had more than eight hundred thousand downloads and the number were still rising even though it was slower than before.

He knew that the number of downloads was low for three weeks but considering that the game was just only released, it was understandable.

Though logically speaking, Renovatio had better controls, gameplay, plot and overall, everything better than most Triple-A games. It has not existed for as long as they have.

Call of duty: warzone had more than a million downloads in just twenty-four hours after its release but that was only because they had past titles under their name.

Renovatio had none of that so it's slow rate of download was expected however Nous had said it would pick up in the following week which was tomorrow.

These past three weeks could be considered sort of an opening week for the game. This was because as proven by the videos he found on TikTok; the game was slowly garnering a good following.

"Wait, Nous, exactly how much capital do we need to start the company"

[Which one?... Entering the auto or the VR industry]

"Both"

[To create a car manufacturing company, you would need around ten million dollars but that is only because you are in Nigeria and to properly enter the Virtual Reality industry, you only need around twenty thousand dollars]

Based on what Nous had said, he needed at least half of his net worth and more to enter the Auto industry, but he only needed a tiny portion of said net worth to start up in Virtual reality.

Considering everything so far, he knew that entering the Virtual reality industry was a necessity considering how the game was going. Renovatio may be a game that could technically be played almost eternally as a single player offline game.

However, the game also had a multiplayer version which according to all he had seen was basically a compressed virtual reality game. The game allowed for an even large map or in true terms, a whole planet worth of playable space.

The Multiplayer version of Renovatio allowed for what he called a 'second chance' as it allowed you assume various roles that one would normally have no means of achieving in real life.

The playable space was incredibly large, players could assume any position and even if there were missions to be played. Players themselves could also create missions and rewards of their own.

With how large and realistic the game normally looked; David felt it a sin to allow the multiplayer version to remain on PC. With all that, it was obvious that entering the Virtual Reality industry was a necessity... it could also allow him a new form of making money which came in forms.

The first was in sales aka the sale of the VR devices and the second would be adverts, it was ambitious but big companies would pay millions to get as much space anywhere that millions of people are gathered.

That was the beauty of advertisement, you don't need any degree, special training or anything of sort. All that required is a platform that is been accessed by hundreds of people at the lowest.

At the rate in which Renovatio was growing, He predicted that when he was ready to release the Multiplayer version, there will be millions of people playing the game.

With that number of people, it was expected that 98% of them will move to the Multiplayer version when it releases and if that happens, big companies will pay thousands of dollars if not millions just to advertise their products there.

David's mind ran through all sorts of options for making more money through the game. The Multiplayer version of such a high quality open-ended game allowed for a lot of possibilities.

Advertisment aside, there was also the potential to turn it into a real life version of the famous movie 'Ready player one'.

The movie showed the potential Virtual reality games and with the help of Nous, David didn't think he would lose our to it.

He could also somehow create a currency convert system that allows for the in-game currency to be exchanged for real money. Of course, he didn't plan to go broke supporting such a system.

If his advertisment plan worked then he could also introduce such a system and even allow for people to purchase real life objects from the online stores they find there

All of this though will depend on how influential Renovatio becomes. If it eventually gets to a billion users then Renovatio would officially because a second reality.

[Sir, I would advice you take things one step at a time. The sale of goods and services through Renovatio would indeed be a good money making scheme but for now, you just need to focus on creating a true company]

"I know, I know" David said as a smiled formed on his face.

It was like the popular Nigerian pidgin saying 'Imagination wan wound you' which meant 'Imagination wants to injure you'. He was thinking too much about the future which in itself is a good thing but he was only thinking about the positive parts.

Like everything in existence, even glorious futures had their obstacles that one had to face to get there.
