[p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Stay tuned for “1000 Princes 2”![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]

[p]Q1: What changes will happen after the developer name is updated?[/p][p]Dear Princess players, the developer name of the otome game *1000 Princes* will gradually change from “琴研 Ginyan” to “4Ducks & You.” In the future, the developer and publisher names displayed on the game store page, the startup screen logo, and even the identities of those replying in the forums will all be updated.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]Q2: Why will it be changed to “4Ducks & You”?[/p][p]The experience and feelings of Princess players have always been the most important. Delivering an otome game that is immersive, authentic, and sweetly romantic is the mission of *1000 Princes*.[/p][p]In future individual route storylines, your small squad of 1,000 princes—the “Four Ducks”—will make their appearance. Led by YaBo, their otome game studio will begin recruiting new members. You will join them and work together with the four princes to develop the otome game *1000 Princes.* Various details of creating the game alongside the Four Ducks princes will also be embedded in the game. Therefore, the developer name will be “4Ducks & You.” [/p][p]YaBo is a prince of the Duck Kingdom and also the game planner of this development studio—a core figure. Therefore, replies in the Steam community will also be made personally by him and the other members.[/p][p]For interviews with the Four Ducks, please see: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Q3: About the original developer name[/p][p]琴研 Ginyan once used her personal photo as her avatar, appeared on camera in videos introducing the game development process, and occasionally mentioned fragments of her daily life. Although she originally hoped—like many other developers—to let players better understand the ideas and details behind the development of this otome game, she later realized that these seemingly ordinary actions actually violated a major taboo in otome games! [/p][p]When Princess players are falling in love with the princes, why should an unrelated person appear? Why should a woman named “琴研 Ginyan” be talking on and on about game development in videos or articles? Although players never explicitly pointed this out, when Ginyan saw other female otome game developers wearing masks while explaining their development workflow, she deeply realized that what she had done was not sincere communication with players, but had unintentionally become a strong intrusion and violation.[/p][p]Optimizing *1000 Princes* is not just about adding and updating content, or improving and expanding the technology. It also means empathizing more deeply with players’ thoughts and feelings—never doing anything that harms their emotions, makes them uncomfortable, or causes dislike and displeasure. [/p][p]Princess players will always come first and are the most important! [/p]

[/p][p]Hello everyone, I’m Ginyan, the developer of 1000 Princes. 1000 Princes is planned as a series of games, powered by AI. The price of Volume 1 of 1000 Princes: Born to Love You went from the initial price of $1.99 to the final price of $2.99, and this price actually consists of three parts:[/p]

[p]1. The game itself
2. DLC (wallpapers, music, stickers, and various assets)
3. ★ Commercial IP License[/p]

[p][/p][p]This article focuses on the IP commercial licensing part. I call this IP licensing plan the “1000Princes’ Partner Program” (1000 Princes’ Partnership Plan), or 1000PPP for short.[/p]

[p]In short, ★ all players who purchase the game will receive the asset pack and automatically obtain commercial IP licensing. You may print the images and other materials from the asset pack onto your physical products for sale, without paying any additional IP licensing fees.[/p]

[p][/p][p]As the developer, I do not take any share of your product sales profit, because your products help promote 1000 Princes. I benefit from that already.[/p][p][/p][h3]Part 1 — The Purpose of 1000PPP[/h3][p][/p][p]In otome games, players receive affection and protection from the 1000 Princes, gaining emotional and spiritual value. Outside the game, in real life, I want players to also gain real, tangible economic benefits—by printing 1000 Princes on their products and selling them through various commercial channels.[/p][p]Many of the princes in 1000 Princes run companies or careers. As virtual characters, they carry the important role of bringing players glamour, romance, and sweet stories. I hope their titles and backgrounds are not just empty setups—if the princes can “share” business concepts and experiences, inspiring players, and if their images can be printed on player-made products for sale, then players may gain both emotional value and financial value through 1000 Princes.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Part 2 — Details of the 1000PPP Commercial IP License[/h3][p][/p][p]Once a player purchases 1000 Princes, they receive the asset pack, which can be used personally or for commercial product development and sale. Anyone, anywhere, anytime, in any language can participate.[/p][p]Basic commercial examples:[/p][p](↑ The image of Pearl Prince ZeXian printed on a mug. He will appear in an upcoming new episode. He always drinks milk tea with this mug. He has rhinitis and is very sensitive to smells, but he loves the scent of milk tea. Produced by player/vendor ooo.) [/p][p]For example, if you run a small online mug shop, you can print the 1000 Princes on your mugs and sell them online.[/p][p]If you are a student, you can print the 1000 Princes on notebooks and sell them to classmates. [/p][p](↑ The image of Square Kingdom Prince Lingtian printed on a bottled water label. He is drinking water. Pure mineral water is the preferred choice of military academy cadets. Produced by player/vendor ooo.)
[/p][p]If you run a small bottled water company, you can print the 1000 Princes on your water bottles and sell them to customers. [/p][p]These are just initial simple ideas. More detailed plans and examples will be provided in the future. [/p][p]But please note: [/p][p]♦ Do NOT print the characters on illegal (pornographic, violent, gambling, etc.) or restricted products.[/p][p]♦ This is NOT an exclusive license. All players who purchase the game receive the IP license. This means you may print the 1000 Princes on clothes—and other players can also do the same.[/p][p]♦ Please label: 1000PRINCES (1000 Princes)[/p][p]♦ The developer does not share profit. However, if your physical product causes quality issues (e.g., you print a prince on your juice cup and someone gets sick after drinking it), I am NOT responsible, because I only provide virtual assets and have no control over product quality. You must be responsible for your product’s safety and quality.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Part 3 — How to Find the IP License Asset Pack? [/h3][p]♦ If you are inside the game: [/p][p]Click the red coffee cup icon in the top-left corner of the main menu. This will open the folder where you can download the “1000 Princes Series” virtual goods for free—including PC wallpapers, ringtones, songs, stickers, and more. These files are pre-included in the game folder.[/p][p]Note: When you click to open this free-download folder, the game interface may cover the window, making it look like nothing happened. Simply move the game window aside to see it.[/p][p][/p][p]♦ If you are not running the game: [/p][p]You don’t need to launch the game. You can access the folder directly from the Steam client. [/p][p][/p][p]This folder was previously named “❤The Princes’ Workshop❤”, now it’s called “Free Download”, and may be renamed again in the future. But it will always be easy to recognize.[/p][p]Virtual DLC materials are usually placed in the following path: ...Steam/steamapps/common/1000PRINCES/(folder name). The path can be a bit complicated.[/p]

[p]Here is an easier way to access the folder:[/p][p]STEP 1: In the Steam client, right-click 1000PRINCES (1000 Princes)[/p][p]STEP 2: Click Manage[/p][p]STEP 3: Click Browse Local Files[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The folder contains various ready-to-use materials (images, music, stickers, etc.). You can directly apply them to your products. There are still only a few materials at the moment, but more will be added continuously.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Part 4 — What the Developer Will Do[/h3][p][/p][p]As the developer, I will continue focusing on game development. In quantity, I will provide more abundant and higher-quality story content and character materials for players, and organize each prince’s traits so players can find products that match each prince’s background and style for commercial creation. In quality, I will work to raise the popularity and likability of the 1000 Princes, making players feel that the princes have real commercial value for physical merchandise creation. [/p][p]This way, players can enjoy the game while also creating products to earn income. [/p][p]The 1000PPP plan is currently only in its early stage. It will continue to improve and expand. I look forward to everyone’s participation. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. Thank you![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
