Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 387 Lawyer game?
Chapter 387 Lawyer Game?
“Hey, have you been binge-watching any drama lately?”
“Following a drama? What drama?”
“It’s a drama about a lawyer, and it’s pretty good to watch. Komura-san, my favorite in TV dramas, does a great job. He and the criminals are at loggerheads in the court, which is really exciting to watch.”
In the company, two employees were taking advantage of their free time to chat about the TV series they were watching recently.
In Japan, watching TV dramas is very popular among the people.
Even now in the 21st century, the influence of an excellent TV series is still amazing.
Especially in daily social life, the Japanese rarely talk about the gossip of certain people around them, let alone offend other people's private affairs.
So discussing TV dramas and sports competitions has become their favorite activity.
If a good drama appears on the market, it will inevitably arouse a response from the whole society.
Zhu Youxing didn’t pay too much attention.
His interest in Japanese dramas is average, and he has only watched a few very popular ones, such as Tokyo Love Story and Lonely Gourmet.
At this moment, his thoughts are devoted to new game planning.
He does have a lot of pretty mature video game blueprints in his brain.
But he still doesn’t want to do it, or he doesn’t want to do these games yet.
But if I don’t do something, I feel a little bored.
Hence, Zhu Youxing thought about it but didn’t decide what game to make next.
“Hello, President!”
“President!”
Two employees who were discussing the series saw Zhu Youxing coming over, and they all greeted Zhu Youxing with admiration.
“Oh, hello, thank you for your hard work.”
Zhu Youxing also responded casually, and then devoted himself to the idea of a new game again.
This time he still wants to create some different games.
How about making a simulation business game?
Or make a city-building game like City Skylines?
This kind of city-building type of game is also very marketable.
In the era of the original world, construction games have always had a very stable audience, just like the situation of real-time strategy games.
This type of game requires patience. Sometimes playing a game of this kind can take dozens of hours, making it very easy to get addicted to it.
However, Zhu Youxing felt that the time was not yet ripe.
This kind of construction game will be difficult to operate when developed on a game console. On the contrary, this kind of game is more suitable for playing on a PC.
However, this kind of game can also be used as a bargaining chip. If there is any technical cooperation with the Morgan Group in the future, this kind of game can be used as an exchange condition.
Then building the game can be temporarily PASSed.
What should we do with the rest?
“Hey, have you watched any legal dramas recently?”
“Are you talking about the one on NHK? Of course I watched it! NHK has finally figured out how to make a good modern drama after so many years. It is really rare. Our whole family loves this drama.”
Zhu Youxing raised his head and saw several people not far away gathering together to discuss TV series with coffee.
Legal drama?
lawyer…
For some reason, an animated image suddenly appeared in Zhu Youxing's mind.
It was a man wearing a suit, with a hedgehog-like slicked back hair, and from time to time he would make some very exaggerated expressions.
Ryuichi Naruhodou.
This is the name of this character.
His profession is a defense lawyer, and the character comes from a game about lawyers.
Sometimes the audience for a game may be related to the social hot spots at the time.
If you happen to make a game that is very relevant to current social hot spots, it will receive extra attention, and it will also give a game product a certain chance of being out of the spotlight.
In the gaming industry, leaving the game generally means the expansion of the audience.
Looking at the people discussing not far away, it was obvious that the legal drama they were discussing was indeed very attractive.
Then, why don’t you just make this game called Ace Attorney?
This is also a relatively new type of video game.
Ace Attorney, this is a game that plays an important role in text adventure games.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the sales volume of a text adventure game is basically only around 20,000 to 300,000.
Mainly because the audience for this type of game is really small.
But Ace Attorney has become the brightest star among text adventure games.
Its original gameplay of solving crime puzzles through interrogation, as well as the ups and downs of the plot, have captured the hearts of players.
Even players who have not played text adventure games in the past, as long as they have come into contact with Ace Attorney, they will basically not give a bad evaluation. At most, they just don’t like to play this type of game.
In text adventure games that generally have sales of only a few hundred thousand, Ace Attorney can exceed one million, which proves that this series also has its own unique charm.
This million sales may not be comparable to games like Call of Duty, which are new year products and often exceed 10 million sales.
However, the small but beautiful nature of this series can also bring a lot of profits.
Zhu Youxing thought of another thing at this time.
We have previously agreed with the Japanese government that we will try our best to produce several games adapted from novels or film and television dramas.
Of course, I just hope to do it as much as possible, and I am not forcing Zhu Youxing to do it.
However, the Japanese government has given itself such a large piece of land, and has been giving its company many tax preferential policies. It would be really unreasonable if it does not give something in return.
It was incidental anyway, Takeyusei felt that he could use the Ace Attorney series to fulfill his previous agreement with the Japanese government.
Well, let’s just take this most popular legal drama at the moment as the target of adaptation.
Of course, it’s just a name. Ace Attorney should be done in the same way. At most, it will add some linkage plots, which will not have much involvement with the original script.
However, just making a text adventure game doesn’t feel like enough.
Ace Attorney itself has no technical difficulty, and the development will basically be smooth, so you can also develop other games at the same time.
By the way, if you don’t want to make a simulation construction game for the time being, you might as well make a life sim.
This series can be called a DLC mania, but this game still has quite a large number of fans. They are very addicted to the virtual life world. It sells very well in the United States, even if the price of the DLC in the later period is even higher than the main game. They will also spend money willingly.
This game is actually a good revenue-generating game, and its reputation is also very stable.
If the speed is faster, the development of the two games together may not take half a year. They can be regarded as supplements for different types of games.
