lecongvu Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It was in 2000 that Shouzou Kaga created Tirnanog gaming company. What I want to ask is for anyone familiar with the Japanese video game scene to explain to me how Tirnanog (or these start-up gaming companies in general) got their funding for the first game? The concept of crowdfunding did not exist back then, right? Did Kaga use his own money, make a loan, or ask investors? I have been playing the two TearRing games, which I guess cost not a small fortune for all the works put into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slumber Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 As a former prominent Nintendo director, attached to the creation of a big-name Nintendo franchise, I imagine it wasn't very hard for him to attract investors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has got to sell them something, right? I have been wondering how no one back then had foreseen that Nintendo would try to take legal actions against Tirnanog the moment they release a tactical RPG title. If only Kaga had doubled down in making TearRing Saga more different to Fire Emblem like Berwick Saga was--The PSOne could support that level of gameplay, right?
