Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 281 super high cost

   Chapter 281 Super High Cost

   "Bamboo You, what you mean is that you want to use movie special effects to show some game plots in the future, but will this be too different from the gameplay of the game itself? Will it easily give players a sense of gap?"

   Listening to Take Yusei's description of the entire process, Tsukino Aya also raised her own doubts.

   Up to now, Zhu Yuxing has only unilaterally optimistic about this special effect field.

   And most of the cutscenes added to the game are still 2D animations similar to cartoons.

   Such animations will be easier to integrate with the game itself.

   If you impose a cutscene with good special effects, it will still feel a bit inconsistent.

   Take Yuxing smiled and said, "I'm not preparing for the current game, I'm preparing for the future game. By the way, you should have seen the final fantasy 7 plan I released on the company's internal network before, right?"

   Tsukino Aya recalled and nodded: "I've seen it, you plan to use a full 3D engine for this generation of games, do you plan to use special effects for this?"

   "Yes, my idea is to use newer and more advanced technology in 3D games, special effects animations with better pictures are very necessary, and 2D games, of course, continue to use 2D animations."

   Tsukino Aya nodded, she seemed to be able to roughly imagine what kind of state she was in.

   The Final Fantasy 7 project released on the internal network is the work that Take Yusei has planned the most content so far.

  The number of participants is expected to be as many as 300 people, and at least three game development teams are required to work together.

   And some highly repetitive tasks need to be outsourced to save time.

   And then there are more than ten people in music production and so on…

   In all aspects, Zhu Yuxing has pulled almost all imaginable configurations to the current limit.

   Up to now, most of the games produced by the company have remained below the scale of 100 people. No one has ever thought about making a big game, and Zhu Yuxing is someone who plans to eat crabs again.

   Tell those companies that have the heart to make games and are still very rich.

   Do you want a big movie-like production and make a lot of money? No problem, video games can also fulfill your desires, so please join us as we develop the field of video games.

   In the development plan of Final Fantasy 7, the special effects team is also included. Take Yusei's request is to dispatch all members, and the special effects team in the United States will be full of firepower to assist in the production of Final Fantasy 7.

   The development budget alone prepared 200 million US dollars, which is the entire development budget of the game, of course, including the cost of publicity.

   Now two development teams have entered the preparation work, waiting for other staff to join in one after another, and then the game development will be on track.

   All of the game development of Youxing Electronic Entertainment was considered to be a small and a big one.

  Because Zhu Yuxing has a very foresighted mind, game development can save a lot of time and avoid many detours. Zhu Yuxing knows how to do it the best, and will not encounter any big trouble.

And this time, it seems that I really want to get a big one, 200 million US dollars, which is almost one-fifth of the reserve funds of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. All of them are invested in one game, which is very gambling. mentality.

200 million US dollars is more than the original cost of Final Fantasy 10 in the original world, and Zhu Yuxing's ambition is to make a game close to Final Fantasy 10 or higher, so that the world can really see the charm of the game .

   To this end, Zhu Yuxing also deliberately raised the performance of the GS1 game console itself to a higher level.

It is estimated that the game console itself will not make any money this time, and it will not be able to earn twice as much as in the past, but as long as the game can make money all the time, it will be earned. The game console is only a carrier after all. The game can be sold more, but it also needs to be sold at a loss to a certain extent. The purpose is to expand the number of users and let more people spend money on games.

   Tsukino Aya obviously still doesn't understand why Zhu Yuxing suddenly invested so much labor cost.

  According to the current state of game development, it is still possible to continue to make games with small and broad, but from the perspective of players, it is definitely better to be able to play more enjoyable games.

"Okay, you also come to help during this time. The film and television company asked us to produce a one-minute sample within three days to see how our results are. If the effect is really good, they will use our technology. , to provide data for our future production of game special effects.”

   Zhu Yuxing clapped his hands, and the other employees started to act.

   Everyone immediately went to work, and Tsukune Aya also temporarily suppressed the new idea that was in his mind, and followed Zhu Yuxing to create a one-minute video special effect.

  Three days later, in a temporary studio eight or nine kilometers away from Zhu Youxing's office, some film and television crew members were chatting idle.

   They just finished a day of filming.

  Xinghai Infinite is an ambitious work of their film and television company, and they want to enter the upper-level film and television circle through this series of films.

   But the embarrassing thing is that there is not much money.

Fortunately, a new company suddenly appeared that was willing to help with special effects at a lower price. They simply asked the other party to make a one-minute pilot clip to see the effect. If it didn't work, they would consider borrowing money to find a better company to do special effects .

The assistant director    said: "What level of special effects do you think the new company will produce?"

  The director shook his head: "I don't think it's very good. Now we all know that special effects are expensive. They are willing to do special effects at a very low price. How can it be better?"

   "But I heard that it was a very famous game company, and they assured the top management of the film and television company that they could make qualified special effects."

The director reluctantly said: "Those high-level executives are not professional, they just think they can save money, this is a complete waste of time, I am actually worried about whether they can do a minute's special effects in three days, if they can't do it. , just to refuse their cooperation."

   Just then, a crew member hurried over.

   "Director, a car came outside. They claimed to be from Yuxing Special Effects Studio."

   "Huh?" The director was taken aback.

   He just finished speaking when this person came?

   Really made the special effects within three days, the efficiency is still good, but it is difficult to say whether it is qualified or not.

   "Let's go and see."

   The other party has already come, so the director naturally needs to greet him. This is a basic courtesy.
