“What Is REM Digital Studios?” Q&A Presentation (Transcript) Q&A session brought to you by the REM Digital Studios founder and Director of Digital Operations (Rogan E. Martin) and Director of Finance (Vaughan J. Gushue).

(VG) What is REM Digital Studios Incorporated?

(RM) We are a Video Game and Application developer for our in-house developed games and use that knowledge and platform to publish the works of other developers. Just like in the book world where an author may choose to use the size and expertise of a publishing company to sell and represent their book, instead of, or perhaps in addition to, self publishing. We are a publisher of Games and Applications developed both by REM Digital Studios, but also other Video Game and Content creators; the developers.

(VG) As a game developer, how can REM Digital Studios help me?

(RM) Shared popularity from publishing with a firm containing a growing number of titles. Your game will receive a greater number of views and advertisements due to the economy of scale. For instance, if you were a book publisher, would you sell more books as a self publisher or if Harper Collins was selling your book? Now, REM Digital is not yet as large as Harper Collins, but we aspire to be. Here are a few points outlining some of the benefits of being a developer publishing with REM Digital Studios.

Shared Popularity

You gain shared popularity by publishing with a firm containing a growing number of titles. Your game will receive a greater number of views and advertisements due to the economy of scale. For instance, if you were a book publisher, would you sell more books as a self publisher or if Harper Collins was selling your book?

REM Digital Portal

Access to the REM Digital Portal, which you use as the repository for your game files. From your REM Digital Portal you can administer your web-space to publish information and content about your game(s), launch surveys, retain database information, host forums, etc. Additionally, you will also gain access to your REM Digital Studios email address. Enrollment in the Developer Wealth Pooling and Payout Program (DWPPP)* 3% of the Platform Payout for all games published by REM Digital Studios is retained by the corporation and remitted to a segregated account for the purposes of this program. This program provides an annual payout to the “Developer Pool”. Each Developer in the ‘Developer Pool’ is provided/issued up to one “Wealth Share” per game published (based on the definition of the Wealth Share - basically: 1 full share = 1 game that makes over $50 in “Platform Payout” per month for 1 year). Payout of the Developer Wealth Pooling and Payout Program occurs annually between January 20th - March 20th and includes a detailed statement of accounts.

Shared Copyright

By joining REM Digital Studios you do not give up any control or ownership over your work. You can publish your games and applications independently and keep your profits and operation completely separate. REM Digital Studios works with you under a Shared Copyright configuration.

Knowledge

We teach developers how to publish themselves and with the knowledge they gain working with REM Digital Studios and their retained ownership over the copyright, the developer can publish their own game at the same time or in the future if they wish to do so. To assist in achieving this goal, we provide extensive Documentation for developers to better their productions, maximise advertising, and streamline the publishing process.

(RM) How will platform fees impact revenue?

(VG) Off the bat, most “Platforms” retain around 30% of each dollar generated. Of the revenue paid out by the “Platform” (we call this the “Platform Payout”), the Developer is paid 72%; with the remaining 3% deposited into the DWPPP fund and 25% retained by REM Digital Studios Inc. to fund operations. Thus if your game sold for $1.43 - The Platform will remit $1.00 to REM Digital Studios - of which you would receive $0.7 or seventy cents for each sale. This works out to over 50% of the generated profits going to the developer.

(RM) What’s this going to cost the Developer?

(VG) There is an initial operational cost assumed for conducting reviews and approvals, providing REM Digital Portal Access, and then publishing works. Most of the cost that is borne by REM Digital Studios is indirectly compensated by the shared copyright that REM Digital Studios gains; however, there is a $250 fee that we charge but even this is internally funded and taken out of the Developers compensation at a rate of 25% per payout amount remitted to the Developer on a quarterly bases. We call this program our “Internal Work Funding Program (IWFP)”. It’s a way for Developers to fund certain business activities within REM Digital Studios while not paying out of pocket. (RM) I should mention that this Internal Work Funding Program (IWFP), the Wealth Share, and Developer Wealth Pooling Payout Program (DWPPP), along with the Developer’s Direct Compensation are all clearly laid out in the Developer Contract. We call the contract the: “Video Game & Digital Application Publishing Agreement”.

Afterword

(VG) Before we go I want to state that as a growing organization employing a novel business model in the Video Game and Application space, the possibilities for REM Digital Studios and by extension the Developers, and especially those Developers that take an even more active role within the organization, are only limited by our dreams and aspirations.
