Note will demonstrate a development platform for adapting story IP into games, the company announced on June 26. The project was selected for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's IP360 program, which provides subsidies for part of the development costs. The platform incorporates AI into planning, scenario design, asset production, and prototyping to reduce costs and personnel needs. Note said AI will be used only to improve efficiency in parts of the production process, not to replace creative work. The initiative combines Note's platform capabilities with the IP and media-mix expertise of its subsidiary Tales & Co., established in May 2024. Note plans to first handle game production and sales using IP from Tales & Co. and external partners.
