About the Keynote

CEO Notofu took the stage to announce DreamCore's vision, future product concepts, and the 'DreamCore Creator Economy 1.0' initiative.

Future Product Concepts ── Evolving Across Four Themes

The company will evolve DreamCore based on four themes: 'Create,' 'Play,' 'Earn,' and 'Open.'

- Create ── Enabling anyone to make games in any way The platform will be enhanced to allow game generation from text, photos, hand-drawn sketches, and even voice conversations with AI, alongside features for generating 3D characters and backgrounds, and an Android app.

- Play ── Making created games playable for everyone Initiatives include cross-platform multiplayer between smartphones and PCs, cooperative/competitive play, voice chat, and integration with streaming services.

- Earn ── Turning creation into a viable profession This is the core of the 'DreamCore Creator Economy 1.0,' an ecosystem where creators are rewarded for their work, which will be detailed later.

- Open ── Becoming a foundation for developers, companies, and IPs Plans include releasing a developer kit 'DreamCorePro' and SDK, an 'AI NPC' feature for conversing with in-game characters, expanding support to devices like LINE and Meta Quest, and collaborating with anime, music, and sports IPs.

Bloggers, YouTubers, TikTokers ── The Next Wave of Creators are 'Short Game Creators'

The history of the internet is a history of new creators emerging. The company believes the next wave of creators will be 'short game creators.'

Game development has traditionally been a field with a high barrier to entry, requiring specialized programming knowledge, expensive equipment, and long production times. The company aims to remove this final barrier.

Anyone in the World Can Be a Game Creator with a Single Smartphone

DreamCore allows users to create games as if having a conversation, using only a smartphone. This opens the door to game creation for people who do not own a PC, cannot afford one, or live in regions where PCs are not widespread. This initiative aims to replicate the innovation of short-form video, which created a global community of video creators with just a smartphone, but in the realm of gaming.

The Birth of Unseen Games, Entertainment, and IPs

When people who have never made a game before become game creators, it will lead to the emergence of new games, entertainment, and IPs that could not have originated from the traditional game industry.

An Existing Foundation

'DreamCore Creator Economy 1.0' is not just an ideal. A foundation is already growing on DreamCore, with many creators generating and publishing games daily. Games can be shared worldwide with a single URL, and the platform features global leaderboards, automatic translation into six languages, and has a track record of corporate collaborations, such as a promotional game for a TV Tokyo program.

The World Envisioned by DreamCore Creator Economy 1.0

The company envisions a system with four pillars to reward game creators:

- Works Become Income A system where creators earn revenue as their games are played. This includes revenue sharing based on play counts and will support tipping/donations from fans.

- Characters Become Assets Characters created on DreamCore can be registered. When these characters are used in other creators' games, royalties are paid to the original creator. This turns characters into 'assets' that continue to generate income. The company plans to extend this system to corporate IPs and official characters.
