Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1093 Ways to Improve Diversity

  Chapter 1093 Ways to Improve Diversity

   There should be many reasons why the average quality of independent games is not high. Zhu Youxing thinks that the biggest possibility is that the development of game developers is now in a bottleneck period.

  There will be times of prosperity and times of decline in the industry, which is very normal.

  However, sometimes if the period of decline is not contained to a certain extent, a vicious circle may occur.

  It’s like a restaurant. It used to cook good dishes, but over time, maybe people’s tastes have changed, or the quality has declined slightly, which inevitably leads to a decrease in revenue.

  The decrease in revenue may lead to a decline in the quality of dishes, and then fewer customers are willing to come, and the quality will become less due to another decline in revenue.

   After going back and forth like this, this restaurant is waiting to close.

  If you want to curb this kind of behavior, it is not just about improving the quality, but you have to have some unique tricks.

  It seems that there are not many people in the independent game circle who can come up with unique tricks.

   After all, people always like to go up, not everyone is willing to keep making independent games.

   Those who are talented will gradually be recruited by big companies, and those without talent will make relatively poor indie games.

   Those who can always maintain their original intentions and only want to make the game well, but they don’t ask for any big rewards are in the minority after all.

  The biggest feature of independent games should be diversification, not following the routines of conventional assembly lines of large manufacturers.

  A few days later, Bell Ryder reported the reason he found to Zhu Youxing.

  The reason is pretty much the same as Zhu Youxing's previous guess.

  Good game developers were attracted by the large-scale recruitment of companies such as Su Rui Electronics and Mickford.

  That's why Mike Fu and Su Rui Electronics have often made big moves recently, and their own talents have indeed become more and more.

   Of course, the consequence of this is that the independent game circle began to shrink.

"President, the indie game circle is a bit weak now, only a few well-known indie game producers are still insisting on making games on their own, and then releasing them on our platform. If we work hard in this direction, independent games may slowly disappear in the future.”

  Zhu Youxing shook his head: "It's impossible to disappear, there will always be someone who will slowly replace it, just like all kinds of independent movies, but it is indeed gradually shrinking now."

   "Then the president, are we waiting for someone to replace him slowly?"

   "Of course not, we have to take the initiative. Indie games are also a very important part of the video game industry. This part cannot be less, nor can it decline easily, otherwise the diversity of talents cannot be guaranteed."

  People who come from majors in regular schools will slowly lose their creativity as they enter large companies.

  For the benefit of big companies, they will try their best to meet the sales volume and make money desperately. As for the diversity of video games? Sorry, this is out of their scope.

   "Is the video game production contest still being held recently?" Zhu Youxing asked.

   "This is still being held."

   "How big is it?"

   "There are about three or four hundred people participating in each competition."

  Zhu Youxing smashed his mouth: "The scale is a bit small."

  Bell Ryder said: "What about increasing the bonus? Will it have an effect? ​​Let more people participate in the production of the game?"

"The effect of increasing the bonus will not be too strong. I hope to increase the diversification of the types of independent games. Simply increasing the bonus is not effective, but let's increase the bonus first. I will go back and think about other methods. By the way, next time When is our game development competition?"

   "There will be one in half a month, and it will be held in London."

   "Okay, I will be there in person at that time, and I will come and see for myself how the games developed by everyone are."

   "Boss, do you personally serve as a judge? That should attract a lot of people."

  Zhu Youxing said: "This can be regarded as a means of attracting people in a disguised form. I have to think about other methods."

   "Okay, I'll arrange it now."

  BeerRed’s work efficiency is very high. In the afternoon of the Japanese time, the official platform of Youxing Electronic Entertainment announced the news announcement of the next independent game production competition.

  Game producer, president of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, permanent honorary president of the World Video Game Development Federation, and a lifelong achiever in the history of world games.

  Mr. Zhu Youxing will personally participate in the independent game developer competition and act as a judge to evaluate the game.

   This has caused quite a heated discussion in the game circle.

  The presence of a big figure like Zhu Youxing is definitely big news. Some of those aspiring indie game developers didn’t want to go because they think that kind of competition is a waste of time.

  But when they heard that Zhu Youxing was present in person, they immediately booked a ticket to London.

   On the Japanese side, Youxing Electronic Entertainment also made separate announcements to domestic game developers.

  If you have a history of independent game development, Youxing Electronic Entertainment can arrange a special plane to go to London to participate in the competition, and the round-trip travel expenses will be borne by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

  If you have no independent game development experience, but have very good ideas and creativity, you can also participate in this competition. Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not short of this money.

  As for Zhu Youxing himself, he is currently staying at home while playing games and thinking about the independent game competition.

  It is still a bit difficult to discover more independent game developers simply through the competition.

  The scale of such a competition is a bit small, and there are not many people participating.

  There are not many people who can really develop games, but Zhu Youxing believes that people still have a strong desire to express themselves.

   But how to present the expressive desire of these people?

  By the way, the threshold of game development can be lowered again, so that more people who have the desire to express themselves, but those who are less capable in production can also have the opportunity to participate in game production.

  This can be regarded as a no-way solution.

   Then there are game developers from some big companies to join in.

  Issuing them a special certification certificate to add a certain amount of gold to their own resumes, so that if it is just to increase their success rate in future employment, they are also willing to come to the independent game developer competition to brush up their resumes.

  But there are still some symptoms, not the root cause, and independent games need to be diversified.

   click.

  While Zhu Youxing was thinking, he made a slight mistake on the handle in his hand and pressed a wrong button, which caused the character in the game to hang up directly, and the gameover appeared.

  Zhu Youxing patiently restarted the round.

   Not far away, the voice of coaxing the child can be vaguely heard.

That was my mother taking care of the child in her daughter's room. Mother Takeyou Masako really liked Takeyouxing's daughter. She also felt that a professional nanny was not as good as herself, so she always let the nanny do it. Look, I get a salary of more than one million yen a month for nothing.

  But the nanny was still in a panic, afraid that if she continued like this, she would lose her job, so she tried her best to make herself more professional and assist Masako Takeyou to take care of the children as much as possible.

   "Zhuyou, you have a lot on your mind."

  Zhu Youcai came to Zhu Youxing's side, and gently leaned against Zhu Youxing's side.
