Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 524 new area

Chapter 524 New Areas

  523

The game Stardew Valley is very legendary.

  This is a farming simulation management game that was developed entirely by one person and took five years.

It is inspired by the ancient Harvest Story, as well as a series of similar games such as Minecraft and Animal Crossing in the later period.

　　Stardew Valley cannot be said to be the master of these games, but it does present the characteristics of these inspired games very well. It is a very rare top-level independent game.

 And the person who made this game

　　The work of just one person, until the time of Bamboo Star Crossing, it had already created a horror work with sales of 20 million.

You must know that Stardew Valley was released in 2016. At that time, top masterpieces were everywhere and there were as many sandbox games as dogs. Many people were dazzled by these top-notch cool games.

But Stardew Valley still relies on its very unique temperament to attract every player who plays this game, and becomes obsessed with Stardew Valley.

However, it sounds a bit staggering that it took one person five years to develop such a game.

 But the fact is that this person himself is not very efficient in developing games. Five years is very little time for him to be in a state of efficient development.

At a certain period of time, he even needed the help of his wife to maintain his life. But this is not because this game developer is deliberately fishing. The more reason is that he is developing alone, and the development process There was almost no reference from anyone, and he had no idea whether the direction he was taking was popular or correct. It was all a mystery.

Such a situation will also cast a shadow in his mind, and he will begin to doubt whether the game he developed is good enough.

 But Zhu Youxing doesn’t have to think about it that much.

 First of all, he is now a top game developer, and he is very proficient in the use of various creative ideas and various gameplay methods.

Even if he was allowed to return to his original world, he would definitely become a top game developer. After all, it was the experience gained from many top games in ten years.

Next, Zhu Youxing is also a very efficient person. At least he is not too fussy during the process of developing games. In addition, he has a very mature development path and knows how to make it. This can actually save a lot of time. .

I made a rough estimate and found that under ideal conditions, I should be able to complete the initial development of Stardew Valley in one to two months, which means adding mainstream gameplay content, such as farming, decoration, and mining. , as well as social activities and other functions.

These are enough, and then he will gradually add more functions in the future to make this game more and more full.

“Zhuyou, do you just want to set an example for those three girls because of their troubles?”

When Aya Tsukino heard about the game development plan conceived by Takeyusei, she felt it was a little outrageous.

This time he wanted to develop the game by himself, and almost did not rely on the help of a second person to develop the game. This should actually be considered a very inefficient behavior for the current Bamboo Youxing.

Zhu Youxing originally had no reason to do such a thing, but now he suddenly wanted to do it. It seemed that he only had one reason to set an example for the three girls.

"So, but not entirely. It was you who told me about the situation of these three girls that reminded me of the current industry situation. In fact, I still want to make more game developers realize that games should not just be It’s just a big production.”

Zhu Youxing doesn’t hope that the game industry will really be unable to move without him. He also hopes that people in this world can continue to release their creativity and create excellent games.

 His original intention has not changed so far, which is to play excellent games created by people who play this world. It is still a bit boring to just copy the games from the previous life.

 Now that we have a direction, we can get started now without further ado.

He doesn’t plan to use his fame this time, and he doesn’t even plan to launch the game on his home console and handheld platforms from the beginning.

 His target is the PC platform.

I just happen to be trying to train PC users to get used to using my own Battle.net game platform. This platform is similar to STEAM in the previous life, and now it is also a platform with hundreds of games.

It’s just that apart from the first-party games like StarCraft and Doom on Zhuyouxing, there is nothing else to play.

Nowadays, many netizens jokingly call this the game launcher, which is dedicated to playing games such as Doom and StarCraft.

It’s not that game developers in this world are not doing their best and have not gained favor and attention on this game platform. It’s just that most players are still concentrated on home consoles and handheld platforms, and games on the PC platform still seem a bit weak.

 But PC is a great soil for independent games. If this soil can be allowed to bloom with its due charm, then the mission of Stardew Valley will be truly accomplished.

Takeyusei immediately put down the controller and returned to his bedroom. He couldn't wait to start a new round of game development, leaving Tsukino Aya alone and messy.

Zhu Youxing returned to the bedroom and turned on his desktop computer, and then tried to log in to a user account that he had not logged in for many years.

　　Nintendo is the master of the world.

 This meme is completely incomprehensible to people in this world. It is a romance that only belongs to Zhu Youxing.

He has not used this account since he used it to guide Kazuo Murakami, the current leader in game reviews.

 Because he felt that the more he used it, the easier it would be to cheat, and since Murakami Kazuo has become a leader in the field of game reviews, he no longer needs to use this account for anything.

However, after many years, he thought of this account again.

 Seeing this familiar account name, Zhu Youxing once again felt a sense of intimacy.

 Just use this username to create a new platform.

However, this alone is definitely not enough.

 What is his purpose? The purpose is to allow independent games to have their own market, but at the same time, I also want to encourage the three girls and let them understand that video games do not require large-scale production all the time.

 Independent games are also very good. If they want to enter this industry, independent games are actually a more suitable channel.

Then the process of his own development must be well demonstrated to these three girls. As for the method of demonstration, Zhu Youxing has already thought of it, which is to present it in the form of a documentary.
