[Hi, play the above track as you read this]
[Hi, play the above track as you read this]
Hello there,
My name is Ntienyong but people just call me Ntee, that way they don't pronounce my name like a spell from Harry Potter.
I am a 3D Environment Artist and a Unity Developer with over half a decade of experience.
I could start off by talking about my journey and how I became a game dev and all but that's not the mission.
It's not to walk you through some adventure of how I climbed up a hill and spent 40days hungry(that's not what I did though) to come up with this idea.
The goal here is simply to tell you the idea and the idea is simply this.
What if we could do to the games industry what Nike has done to the sports industry?
Damn! what's with this riddle, get to the point Ntee.
Alright alright.
Let's break this down to simple parts.

THE INDIVIDUAL (SENSE OF IDENTITY)

THE INDIVIDUAL (SENSE OF IDENTITY)

If you went to a random sports rally or retreat, it's simple what you would see, everyone there would either be wearing Nike, Adidas, Puma, New balance, etc.
Although it's a random event not hosted by any of these brands, it's somehow the universal uniform of the sports world.
Each having it's unique message that the individual wearing it resonates with, “just do it”, “you got this”,etc. And some other person that put them on because that’s the only thing their friend had available for them.
Now when you go to a gaming event or convention, what have you got? Random tees and polos, probably still Nike sneakers, etc. You get the point.
So we want to create a brand that although at the center of it we have people from the games industry, it's message simple speaks creativity, passion and innovation. A message that can speak to individuals even outside the industry. Just like Nike’s message of motivation and winning can resonate with individuals outside of sports.

INDIVIDUAL COLLABORATIONS AND CELEBRATION

INDIVIDUAL COLLABORATIONS AND CELEBRATION

Recently, the longest time spent playing a game was broken by an individual who spent over a day playing a game. He probably got a load of money and more.
Now let's say this was a record broken in sports. The player would probably have a custom made shoe by Nike to honor him.
Individual collaborations exists on a major level in sports with Nike have shoe lines for Kobe, LeBron and Jordan. Not to mention the latest sneaker sweeping the market Nike x Travis Scott.
While this would be hard to achieve in the games industry I won't lie with most people here being introverts but I believe it's something that can be achieved with the likes of Thomas brush who has made major impact in game development, PewDiePie(although has stopped streaming) was leading the entire Youtube space streaming games before Mr. Beast came in.
While these may not sound or in this case look like magic(get it), well I believe because it hasn't been done or tried out.
Other ways of achieving this effect is by creating limited edition merch and sent to a set of individuals in the space.

STUDIO & COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS

STUDIO & COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS

Have you ever seen Nike logo on a particular club jersey and wondered how it works?
Well master you're in luck because up your sleeves you got a brand of magic that never fails🎶🎶 - lol(if you know the song, you're a real one)
Back to the story - well here's how it works. Let's say the club is Liverpool, so Nike and the club will reach an agreement for a certain amount Nike will pay the club, the once that is done Nike with handle all of the clubs apparels, match kits, training kits, special day kits, etc. and then for every shirt sale the club makes, Nike keeps a higher percentage and pays the club the rest(based on agreement) so in the end, that's how the deal goes.
We want to bring that same thing to the games industry, no more bleh t-shirts and plain hoodies, Studios could actually show up to events, conventions and all looking like 6 bags of fire and best of all we don't just save the studio time and money; which we will, we will also be generating some for them.

So now you have come to the end of your journey through my mind, I hope you enjoyed the ride.
This is a perhaps detailed breakdown of this idea. If you read this far, then I really mess with you.
I should probably put this into Chatgpt and let it rewrite this entire thing properly, but nahh – I’ll leave it like this to show I barely passed English in school.
Thank you again.
Peace and Love✌🏾
