Direct3d and competes in Horror genre

Direct3D, it was the NVIDIA API, and it was designed to support games, especially 3D games.

And Direct3D was much better than the OpenGL platform, and KiShin really wanted to assist NVIDIA in making Direct3D the major platform to support games.

Why?

Well, if Direct3D became the primary 3D graphics API for PC, especially Windows, the operating system of Microsoft, KiShin's partner, and by having Direct3D supporting it, NVIDIA can become the de facto standard for PC gaming, like in Shin's previous life. Direct3D will really help NVIDIA gain a significant market share and establish themselves as a major player in the graphics card industry.

And Direct3D will open doors to new markets. Direct3D's popularity extended beyond PC gaming, finding applications in other areas like simulation, visualization, and design. This enabled Nvidia to expand its reach and tap into new markets beyond just games.

And through KiShin's existing partnership with Microsoft, KiShin will propose to work with Microsoft to optimize Direct3D for NVIDIA GPUs, leading to smoother and faster gaming experiences.

And with these NVIDIA-driven innovations, with the API, NVIDIA may surpass other graphics card companies such as ATI (later AMD), etc. Direct3D provided a common platform for showcasing these advancements, leading to faster, more powerful GPUs for everyone.

In short, with Direct3D, NVIDIA may elevate its position in the graphics card market, and Direct3D is also one of the reasons why NVIDIA became the key player in the PC gaming industry in Shin's previous life.

As Direct3D also fueled innovations and performance improvements for NVIDIA GPUs development, and Direct3D will also contribute to NVIDIA's financial success and brand recognition...

Shin already informed Will Gates, for the development of Direct3D.

As Microsoft currently dominates the computer industry with their operating system and software regarding office work or something.

And after a few days, Microsoft agrees to collaborate with KiShin regarding Direct3D support for Windows.

Since Direct3D will significantly enhance the Windows operating system's gaming performance, it would be foolish for Microsoft to disagree. With the Direct3D platform, improvements in PC game performance will make a noticeable difference. Moreover, KiShin and Microsoft are already partnered in the development of Unreal Engine.

Through Unreal Engine, Microsoft has produced high-quality games that have made a mark in the PC gaming market.

Upon completing the production of video games through KiShin's collaboration, KiShin and Microsoft are currently working on a video game that is nearing completion.

The video game is titled "Civilization."

The game instantly became Will Gates' favorite.

Designed by Shinro Suzuki and other Microsoft designers, the game revolves around kingdom building. Given Will Gates' childhood dream of becoming a king or ruler, the game "Civilization" is truly entertaining for him.

Having played its beta, Will Gates spends his free time enjoying "Civilization," feeling that the game has enhanced his management skills. The gameplay involves turn-based strategy, resource management, a technology tree, and elements of diplomacy and war.

Although "Civilization" was supposed to be released, Will Gates, who became its beta tester, delayed its release as he suggested to KiShin and the Microsoft team to enhance the game further. The game is finally about to be released after Will Gates was satisfied with the results.

In California, USA, in a certain household, Jomar was currently browsing the internet.

Yahoo! had gained attention among his friends, as they could email each other through Yahoo Mail and the like.

Jomar became an internet user when his school initiated a program to spread awareness of internet technology.

Supported by the WorldCom and KiShin Foundation programs, KiShin Foundation even provided computers to their school equipped with internet from WorldCom.

Because of this, Jomar also got accustomed to the internet while using computers in the school library equipped with internet.

As a result, his friends or classmates also had the opportunity to have a Yahoo! account and register on the KiShin website.

It was because of KiShin that there were computers equipped with internet in their school, so KiShin would also promote their website.

Not to mention, Jomar and his friends loved video games, so they didn't hesitate to register on the KiShin website to stay informed about the latest updates regarding KiShin video games.

On the forum, there is a small banner with the text: "New PC game! Let's welcome another KiShin FPS video game that is much superior to the Doom series, Quake!!!"

With just the text and a low-quality image of the video game title "Quake," Jomar was already quite curious about the game.

Considering it's a PC game, and he has the latest computer equipped with the latest Windows operating system, he really wanted to see what the video game is like.

Not to mention, the KP Software that offers video games a way for online multiplayer. People felt that PC gaming was much more superior than console gaming with its online capabilities.

Unlike consoles, which were not yet equipped with online gaming, it was more like solo gaming, except for two players with another controller connected to the same console. There was really no way for multiplayer options online like PC gaming.

Console gamers argued that console gaming was superior because of the quality games released on consoles, such as Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot, and sequels of Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, and so on. With the latest video games made by other video game companies, console gaming was also entertaining enough.

"Looks like I'll have to use my remaining allowance..." Jomar sighed. As a high school student, he only gets a modest monthly allowance, and now, it seems that he has to save money to buy the video game called "Quake."

Meanwhile, in the Tora-Suzuki conference.

"We can see in the report that we are playing catch up with the KS1 estimated sales. We were only able to dominate the market with our TSX Fusion for a few weeks before being left behind once more in Japan," Taro Ikeda said with a solemn expression.

"Well, it's because we have fewer attractive games to offer for our TSX Fusion while KiShin is taking advantage of their famous and established IPs such as Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Donkey Kong to attract customers for their KS1," Itori Tanaka said.

"The only way to surpass KiShin in sales is to release better video games than what we are releasing now," Nikko Tabata said.

"A better video game, huh..." A Tora executive nodded as he stroked his chin.

"At least in a particular genre, we could slowly surpass KiShin's video games in that specific genre," Seki said with a smile.

"Yeah, and that's when our horror genre video game comes in, which is about to be completed..." Itori Tanaka said with a smile.

"That video game is a horror genre aiming to surpass KiShin's Resident Evil, right?" Shiko said with a smile.

"Yeah, and it's called 'Religion of Nightmares.' I have high hopes for it," Itori Tanaka nodded as he spoke.
