Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 461 tragic two companies

   Chapter 461 Miserable Two Companies

   Zhu Yuxing made a pause gesture at this moment, making these people who were a little dazed and discussing temporarily quiet down.

Then he patiently said: "I know you may have a lot of questions now, because this game development seems to be different from what I have taught you before, but what I want to say is that game development has never been absolute. The formula, because video games have always been a thing full of unknown fun, just like in movies, there are comedies, tragedies, cool dramas, and sadistic dramas, and there will always be some audiences.”

The person in charge of the fifth group, Yuki Uesugi, couldn't help raising his hand and said, "I can understand the benefits of abusing players in terms of plot, but if you abuse players in terms of difficulty, is it possible that the audience is very small? This should be the case. It's cold, isn't it?"

"Who said that? Sometimes you may actually underestimate the masochistic psychology of players too much. Of course, the difficulty must not be too exaggerated, and there must be a limit, and this limit is also very learned. We can take this slowly. , everyone first follow my plan to build the basic framework of the game, and the remaining difficulty aspects can be adjusted at the end."

   The main development difficulty of Monster Hunter this time lies in the action design of those so-called giant dragons and strange-sized creatures such as big monsters.

   This is the real core of this game.

   It is very difficult to make a monster that is convincing enough in every way.

   This probably requires the cooperation of multiple groups and the Numerical Research Department, which is something they have never studied in the past.

Most of the creatures in the previous games were either relatively simple in design, or were simply humanoids. These were very simple in action design. Most of the previous numerical researches focused on humanoid creatures. This time, it really started from scratch. .

  From scratch means that this will be a test, which is very challenging for everyone.

   Now, as the top game companies in the industry, these game development teams are definitely not lacking in the courage to challenge difficulties.

   First of all, the art team must act immediately. They need to create a live monster creature one by one before the modelers and program developers can cooperate well.

   applied for a few foreign aids for several teams on a whim, such as zoologists, biologists, and ecological environmentalists, and finally they even wanted to find a linguist.

  Because Zhu Yuxing also suggested that if possible, it would be better to create the hunter language of this world. The hunter language will be completely different from the traditional language. This is a way to better reflect the reality of this world.

   Although the hunter language is really superfluous, Zhu Yuxing just wanted to do it.

   Regarding the foreign aid the team requested, Zhu Yuxing waved his hand quite simply and agreed.

   It doesn’t cost much to hire such an expert.

  The scale of development this time is already another work that costs hundreds of millions of dollars in development costs. The money to hire a few experts is not enough for a fraction of the entire game development, so there is really no need to save money in this regard.

   And these relevant experts are also very happy to come and help.

   After all, no one will refuse to have money.

   But in this way, it is difficult to keep the game development that could have been kept a little secret.

   Take Yuxing's side has just concluded the new game development meeting, and there have been related rumors from the outside world.

   First, a member of an unknown outsourcing team leaked information anonymously on the Internet.

   It is said that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment once again spent huge sums of money to make an excellent game, and it still plans to launch it on the handheld. This time the battle is very big, and I am afraid it will be comparable to the original Final Fantasy 7 development.

   And Final Fantasy 7 has achieved an astonishing sales volume of tens of millions so far, and it is the highest-selling game on the GS1 console.

   This time, Zhu Yuxing once again led the game development, obviously wanting to replicate his previous success on the handheld again.

  After hearing the news, people in the industry have behaved differently.

   First of all, Suri Electronics is on the verge of an enemy, because the two companies are now the most direct competition.

   Hayakawa Zhito convened the team at the first time, hoping to find some solutions.

   Even if the final result of the response is failure, if nothing is done, it is very likely that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will be smooth sailing, and their game console industry of Surui Electronic will not be easy to mix in the future.

   On the other side of the ocean, the United States, there is still a half-dead game console company, and the response is rather pitiful.

  Lilda.

   This is a company that once had a small success in the entertainment and cultural industry.

   They have made several relatively successful electronic entertainment products, which are considered a small hit in the US market.

   Before Youxing Electronic Entertainment entered the US market, they were still able to fight back and forth with Suri Electronics at that time.

   It was also at that time that Lilda tasted the sweetness of video games.

Just because of the inherent concept of physical assets in the Americans, they did not take the game itself seriously at first, but regarded the entities such as game consoles and cassettes as important things. At first, they thought that the game was useless, and they were not selling Games, but plastic pieces like cassettes and entertainment products like video game consoles.

  When there are no strong competitors, they mix well.

  It was just that after Yuxing Electronic Entertainment came to the United States, their situation took a turn for the worse. Their game console industry lost almost no resistance. It was very miserable.

   Later, they also tried to resist several times, relying on the US government's suppression of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to win some markets, but they still lacked high-quality games themselves.

   Then when the company kicked out its original founder, Huck Brown, things quickly hit rock bottom.

   The mobile game consoles they had previously admired were only a flash in the pan and eventually disappeared.

   Until now, Lilda has been considered dead in name only.

   But this is also slightly better than the other one.

   Another company called Hongguo Company was originally in the personal computer business, but because of the slow development of the personal computer business at that time, they wanted to find a new growth point and finally chose video games, but in the end they also ruined themselves because of some wrong decisions.

   When the current management of Lierda saw that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was preparing to develop a new large-scale game, the reaction was called indifference, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

   In other words, they already know that they have long since become the billowing dust of the times, and there is no scum left behind.
