MAXIMISE RETURN ON INVESTMENT

In order to maximise return of investment for our investors, community, and growth fund, STR8FIRE can support entertainment IPs to strategise, plan, and execute effective and efficient IP monetisation across animation, comics, toys, games, NFTs, immersive experiences, music and merchandising.

Based on Epic’s Unreal Engine and NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform, we have developed our custom-made 3D Pipeline Technology that enables us to create interconnected narratives across various media formats and monetise IPs across the transmedia story universe. Rooted in these technological advancements, we can design and build original stories in 3D that cultivate dedicated fan bases globally and offer long-term partnership and licensing opportunities across multiple, inter-connected channels.

Our network in the entertainment industry with distributors, publishers, streaming platforms, retailers, and production companies, helps open the market for the IPs that we and our community invest in, thus significantly growing monetisation and ultimately driving the token price in the secondary market. Our dedication to look after the investment interests of our community therefore is far more active than most other fundraising platforms in Web3 and Web2.

Services we can offer:

Cross-Media Integration

• Unified Storytelling: Developing a consistent narrative across different media ensures that the IP resonates with audiences regardless of the platform. For instance, a character from an animated series can appear in comics, games, and immersive experiences, creating a cohesive universe.

• Shared Assets: Using the same design assets across animation, comics, and games reduces production costs and ensures brand consistency. This is particularly effective when leveraging 3D models, character designs, and environments.

Merchandising and Toys

• Limited Editions: Releasing limited edition or exclusive toys linked to specific events, like a game launch or season finale, can drive demand and create additional revenue streams. Linking physical collectibles to NFTs is also a very effective way to onboard Web3 communities.

• Character Popularity: Popular characters from animation or games can be transformed into toys, action figures, and collectibles. The demand for physical merchandise often correlates with the success of the IP in digital formats.

Music and Soundtracks

• Concerts and Events: Hosting live concerts or virtual events featuring the music from the IP can create a new revenue stream, especially when linked to other media.

• Integrated Music Platforms: Music from an animated series or game can be monetized through streaming services, sales, and live performances. Theme songs or background scores that resonate with audiences can drive additional engagement and revenue.

Immersive Experiences

• Events and Exhibitions: Physical locations or travelling exhibitions that allow fans to immerse themselves in the world of the IP offer another monetisation opportunity.

• Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): Creating VR/AR experiences that allow users to interact with the IP in a new way can attract tech-savvy audiences and open up new monetisation channels

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

• Digital Collectibles: NFTs representing unique digital assets, like character art, special animations, or virtual items, can be sold to fans and collectors. The scarcity and uniqueness of these tokens drive their value.

• Community Engagement: NFTs can be used to create exclusive communities or offer special access to content, events, or decision-making processes, deepening fan engagement and loyalty.

Gaming

• In-Game Purchases: Monetising through micro-transactions, such as skins, character upgrades, or downloadable content (DLC), is a major revenue source in gaming.

• Cross-Platform Synergy: Integrating game content with other media, like using a comic’s storyline as the basis for a game, can attract fans from one platform to another, increasing overall engagement and monetisation.

Brand Collaborations and Licensing

• Collaborations: Partnering with other brands for co-branded products can expand the reach of the IP. For instance, a character from a comic book could be featured in a popular food brand’s packaging or in a crossover game.

• Licensing: Licensing the IP to third-party developers or creators for products, games, or merchandise expands the IP’s presence and generates additional revenue without the need for in-house production.

Unreal Engine 5's Role

• High-Quality Asset Creation: Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) provides powerful tools for creating highly detailed and realistic 3D models, environments, and animations. This helps in maintaining a high-quality standard across different media, from games to immersive experiences.

• Real-Time Rendering: UE5’s real-time rendering capabilities allow creators to develop interactive experiences, such as games or VR content, that are visually stunning and perform well on various devices, enhancing user experience and retention.

• Cross-Platform Development: UE5 supports development for multiple platforms (PC, console, mobile, VR/AR), enabling the creation of content that can be easily adapted for different audiences and devices, maximising reach and monetisation potential.
