2. Game Business
(1)Overview
Summary of MD&A

• Net sales increased due to firm orders in the operation support field, where the company has expanded its workforce since the previous fiscal year, as well as the transfer of rights to a game title that had been under in-house development and the posting of sales associated with progress in the development of an existing project.
• Operating income increased due to transitory profit factors, including the transfer of game title rights as mentioned above and a decrease in development costs.

(2)Projections for each business segment
Game
The high progress rate toward the full-year operating income forecast in the first quarter was mainly due to transitory profit factors in the game business, including the transfer of rights to game titles that had been undergoing in-house development and a decrease in development costs. The personnel utilization rate, which declined due to the cancellation of development projects that occurred in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, is improving. With several projects coming to an end in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the anticipated downward impact on earnings was covered by orders of short-term projects. Therefore, the downside risk may be delayed to the second quarter of the fiscal year. There are no changes in the forecast of the game segment as of this moment.
Mobile
The mobile business is generally progressing as planned. There are no changes in the forecast of the mobile segment as of this moment.

'Well there you have it, I did say things would be different this year...a promise kept is a promise delivered. That being said, making top secret moves upfront to get ahead of the money-making game is all well & shogi prodigy AMD sponsored dandy but there's still much work to be done. We've nominally got 4 (count 'em!) console/PC games in development but the transfer of rights sure raises questions. Just what does the future hold for tri-Ace & friends? Not received a response from NJ Holdings from a query sent a fortnight ago, so will have to wait & see if they ever come back to me. But in the meantime I shall be updating the NJ Holdings Output Strategy thread with details of Synduality: Echo of Ada from TGS 2023 & giving it a southern hemisphere spring clean.'

LATE EDIT: Spelling, typos, clarity, fixed mistake on cut off date (it was 4 console/PC titles as of November 10, 2023 after all!) & corrected the commentary as a result - need to do better. ​

Dia bombing but it still didn't hurt bottom line I guess?

Between that, Synduality's delay and Gemdrops showing up tri-Ace, kind of a rough fall for NJH.

役職・氏名 経営企画室長 野澤 創一
Position & Name Soichi Nozawa, General Manager, Corporate Planning Office

Soichi Nozawa has been much too busy making bank for the syndicate(d banks) to reply to my silly questions...until yesterday. Without getting into details (as mentioned previously, appreciate the detailed replies & don't wish to push my luck) it helped clarify detail from the Annual Securities Report. The loans carry over on a quarterly basis with no change in Q1 FY6/24 (see examples of recent short & long term loans on page 16, but the amounts are small so I didn't include them in the auto-translated snippets). If & when a longer term deal is reach or paid off in a lump sump the 'Going Concern' notice in the Financial Reports will be removed. Until such time, the most pressing topic is (ok so it's probably a Nepro Mobile storefront but I have puns!) whether or not Game Studio employees in Kyoto are still in splitting short hairs distance of CROWN JEWELS Waxing salon. Asking the important questions here!

INTRODUCTION
ワックスとマシンによる施術をご用意
Wax and machine treatments available
​

お仕事帰りやお出掛けのついでにも気軽に立ち寄れる四条烏丸エリアに店舗を構え、スタイリッシュな雰囲気の中でムダ毛ケアが楽しめるサロンとして多くの方にご利用いただいております。レディースだけではなく、メンズ脱毛にも対応しておりますので、ヒゲや胸毛、VIOなどのムダ毛にお悩みの方はお気軽にご相談ください。男女どちらのスタッフも在籍しているため、デリケートな部位は同性のスタッフに担当して欲しいといったご要望にもお応えいたします。ブラジリアンワックスでの施術とマシンによる施術、どちらもご用意しております。

Located in the Shijo-Karasuma area, where you can easily drop by on your way home from work or on your way out, our salon is used by many people as a place to enjoy unwanted hair care in a stylish atmosphere. We offer hair removal services for men as well as women, so please feel free to consult with us if you have any concerns about unwanted hair such as beards, chest hair, or VIO*. We have both male and female staff, so we can accommodate requests for sensitive areas to be handled by staff of the same gender. We offer both Brazilian waxing and machine waxing.

*Now I know what you're thinking, what on earth do me furry delicates have to do with anything. Is this another AMD sponsorship deal with Sōta Fujii for its patented LogiCORE™ IP Virtual Input/Output (VIO)? ...maybe. But its also a term for your unmentionables hairy husbandry secret as Arnold Zwicky reveals all. I'll never look at an NFL O-Line the same way again.

Searching on “VIO hair removal”, I eventually [uh-huh] discovered that VIO is Japanese terminology for the bikini zone, with the initials standing for..

V line (the pubes and genitals), I line (the perineum), O line (the anus).​

Guess that also helps to explain the funky taste of Coca Cola flavoured Milk that has got TIME Magazine all in a fizzy tizzy. Gives me a flimsy pretext to say, got (carbonated) milk? As to whether or not the CROWN JEWELS irradiation output is strong enough to overcome even the most insurmountable beast-salarymen that has defeated home devices...time for real talk.

Dai bombing but it still didn't hurt bottom line I guess?

Right I'm meant to be replying to users. TLDR = I don't know. Could be in the next quarter, much like Kadokawa reporting Elden Ring revenue from outside Japan a quarter later. Game Studio is mentioned specifically in the Japanese only Annual Securities Report for the FY ending June 30, 2023 as the group company posting a loss. However it should noted this doesn't mean they are insolvent anymore than it did when tri-Ace when mentioned in the previous year. Wit One posted a profit on the back of strong orders. It's biggest studio with over 300 staff (I believe this increases to over 400 when including Wit One Okinawa) & appears to be doing well enough as Operation Support is mentioned several times in the report as being up YoY).

As for its impact on finances, might have to wait until the 1H Report as this quarter (due early-mid February) mentions the profits being front loaded with potential risk on the back-end.

Between that, Synduality's delay and Gemdrops showing up tri-Ace, kind of a rough fall for NJH.

Synduality: Echo of Ada is a really interesting, not to mention ambitious title I wish to write more about in the Output Strategy thread at some point. My working hypothesis is the second year loss which appears to have triggered a clause in a loan agreement requiring NJ Holdings repay in full by June 30, 2024 (subject to quarterly roll overs mentioned above) may help explain why it waited until the last week of the previous financial year to announce the second downward revision. But don't take my word for it! Cause I know nothing. Seriously I don't!

I wonder what the transfer of rights game could be. Probably nothing of significance.

It has me most intrigued all the same, would be great to have a fuller understanding of IP owned by NJ Holdings & its group companies, any partially owned/licensed to separate from contract work. Speaking of intrigue, I'll leave you with this nugget of ongoing R&D work by tri-Ace - what could it possibly be using its property ASKA Engine on & why is it Exist Archive 2 & not...

(3)研究開発活動 ゲーム事業において、主に(株)トライエースでゲームエンジンの研究開発活動などを行っており、当第1四半期 連結累計期間の研究開発費の総額は32百万円であります。
(In the game business, tri-Ace Inc. is mainly engaged in R&D activities for game engines, etc. Total R&D expenses for the first quarter of the fiscal year under review amounted to 32 million yen. (page 4)

Beyond the Labyrinth VR! I jest but it'd actually be a cool idea, maybe team up with Amata K.K. (Last Labyrinth, playable with or without VR), CharacterBank (RuinsMagus) to co-develop. As for being 'shown up by Gemdrops', well its goes to show that as Square Enix owns the IP, contracts can be made with tri-Ace, TOSE, Gemdrops or anyone else for that matter. Ties into the rough fall comment, think NJ Holdings has to self-publish on a regular basis, either a single publisher or all group companies (Game Studio, tri-Ace & Wit One) individually. Takes cash-money tho'!

Not a great quarter for them

Money was made, it's something but yes the first half report alongside the subsequent analysis Q&A will help give us a better sense if it's able to offer more detail on any recovery plan.

ゲーム事業 当セグメントにおきましては、(株)ゲームスタジオ、(株)トライエース、(株)ウィットワン、(株)ウィットワ ン沖縄及び(株)テックフラッグにてゲームの開発受託及び運営受託等を行っております。 売上高については、前期から人員体制を拡大してきた運営サポート分野の受注が堅調に推移したことに加え、 自社開発を進めていたゲームタイトルの権利譲渡や既存案件の開発進捗に伴う売上の計上により、2,278百万円 と前年同期と比べ327百万円(16.8%増)の増収となりました。 セグメント利益(営業利益)については、自社開発を進めていたゲームタイトルの権利譲渡に伴う売上の計上 や、開発原価の減少等の一過性の要因が重なったことにより、利益が増加いたしました。この結果、212百万円 のセグメント利益(営業利益)と前年同期と比べ210百万円(9,375.9%増)の増益となりました。
In this segment, Game Studio, tri-Ace, Wit One, Wit One Okinawa, and Tech Flag are engaged in game development and operation on consignment. Net sales increased 327 million yen (16.8%) year on year to 2,278 million yen due to firm orders in the operation support field, where the company has expanded its workforce since the previous fiscal year, as well as the transfer of rights to game titles that were being developed in-house and the posting of sales associated with progress in the development of existing projects.
