On the other hand, TCG production requires specialized knowledge, high costs, and complex supply chain management. The barrier to entry remains high for individual creators and small to medium-sized enterprises, and many ideas are currently buried without being realized.
## Solutions Provided by "Toretsuku"
In response to these market challenges, "Toretsuku" offers comprehensive support from planning to manufacturing and sales channel development, significantly lowering the hurdle for TCG production.
- **Cost Advantage**: Compared to conventional TCG production, "Toretsuku" offers plans that allow production to start from 1 million yen. This reduces initial investment, creating opportunities for more companies and creators to realize their dream of an original TCG.
- **Integrated Production Support**: A specialized team provides total support, from "game design that builds the world view," which is the foundation of a TCG, to "high-quality card production" that affects product quality, and "illustration production by professional illustrators."
- **Small-Lot Production Capability**: Even when large initial orders are difficult, "Toretsuku" supports production from small lots, enabling flexible strategic deployment such as market testing and limited sales.
- **Sales Channel Development Support**: "Toretsuku" also provides "support for sales channel development" to bring completed TCGs to the market, ensuring that products reach their target audience. A significant feature is the ability to utilize a proven game engine that has already sold over 120 million yen in trading card games.
