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. Zhuyouxing himself believes that the biggest possibility is that game developers are now stuck in a bottleneck period.

 The industry will have periods of prosperity and periods of decline. This is very normal.

However, sometimes if the period of decline is not curbed, a vicious cycle may occur.

 It's like a restaurant. The dishes it cooked before were good, but over time, maybe people's tastes have changed, or the quality has declined slightly, which inevitably leads to a decrease in revenue.

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

 If this goes on, this restaurant will be closed down.

To curb this kind of behavior, it is not enough to simply improve the quality, but also to find some unique tricks.

There don’t seem to be many people who can come up with unique ideas in the independent game circle right now.

After all, people always like to move up, and not everyone is willing to continue to make independent games.

Those with talent will gradually be recruited by large companies, while those without talent will produce relatively poor independent games.

There are only a few people who can always maintain their true intentions and just want to make good games without asking for any big rewards.

 The biggest feature of independent games should be diversification and not following the routine of the conventional assembly lines of big companies.

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

 The reason is quite different from Zhu Youxing’s previous guess.

 Good game developers have been attracted away by large-scale recruitment by companies such as Surui Electronics and Mickford.

 That’s why Mickford and Suri Electronics have been making big moves recently, and their own talents have indeed become more and more abundant.

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

"President, the independent game circle is a bit stagnant right now. There are only a few well-known independent game producers who still insist on making their own games and publishing them on our platform. The others have either joined larger companies or are working in the government. If we work hard in this direction, independent games may slowly disappear in the future.”

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "It is impossible to disappear. There will always be someone to slowly replace it, just like various independent films, but it is indeed shrinking now."

“So, President, are we waiting for someone to slowly replace him?”

“Of course not, we have to take the initiative. Independent games are also an important part of the video game industry. This part cannot be reduced and cannot decline easily, otherwise the diversity of talents cannot be guaranteed.”

 People who have a professional background in regular schools will slowly lose their creativity as they enter large companies.

 For the benefit of large companies, they will do their best to meet sales volume and make money. As for the diversity of video games? Sorry, this is not something they are considering.

“Are the video game production competitions still being held recently?” Zhu Yuxing asked.

 “This is still being held.”

 “How big is it?”

“About three to four hundred people participate in each competition.”

 Zhu Youxing said, "The scale is a bit small."

Belred said: "What about increasing the bonus? Will it be effective? 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 diversity of independent game types. Simply increasing the bonus will not have much effect, 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 when the time comes, and I will see for myself how the games everyone develops are going.”

“Boss, will you be the judge yourself? That should attract a lot of people.”

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

 “Okay, I’ll make arrangements right now.”

 Belred’s work efficiency is very high. In the afternoon of the same day (Japanese time), the official platform of Yuxing 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 Electronic Game Development Federation, and a lifelong achiever in world game history.

Mr. Zhu Yuxing will personally attend the independent game developer competition and serve as a judge to evaluate the game.

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

The presence of big names like Zhu Yuxing is definitely big news. Some of those independent game developers who were originally very ambitious did not want to go because they felt that such competitions were a waste of time.

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

In Japan, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also separately announced the announcement to domestic game developers.

Those who have a history of independent game development can have a special plane arranged by Youxing Electronic Entertainment to go to London to participate in the competition, and the round trip expenses will be borne by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

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

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

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

 The scale of such a competition is a bit small, and the number of participants is not large.

 There are not many people who can actually develop games, but Zhu Youxing believes that people still have a strong desire for expression.

 But how to present these people’s desire for expression?

By the way, the threshold for game development can be lowered again, allowing more people who have a desire to express themselves but are less capable in production to have the opportunity to participate in game production.

 This is considered a no-op solution.

 Then, game developers from some large companies can also join in.

Issue them special certifications to add a certain amount of value to their resumes. In this way, if it is simply to increase their success rate in future employment, they are willing to come to the independent game developer competition to brush up their resumes.

 However, there are still some symptoms that cannot be solved, and independent games need to be diversified.

 Click.

  While Zhu Yuxing was thinking, he made a slight mistake with the controller in his hand and pressed the wrong button, causing the character in the game to die directly, and gameover appeared.

 Zhu Youxing patiently restarted the game.

Not far away, you can faintly hear the sound of coaxing children.

That was her mother taking care of the child in her daughter's room. Her mother, Takeyu Masako, was so fond of Takeyusei's daughter. She also felt that professional nannies couldn't compare to her, so she always let the nanny do it on the side. Look, you get a salary of more than one million yen a month for nothing.

But the nanny was still panicked, fearing that she would lose her job if she continued like this, so she tried her best to become more professional and assist Takeyu Masako in taking care of the children as much as possible.

 “Zhuyou, you are very worried.”

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