Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 70 work overtime! work overtime!

 Chapter 70 Working overtime! work overtime!

In an office at the headquarters of Surui Electronics Group in Minato-ku, Tokyo, several people were having a meeting.

The leader was a man in his thirties, who was holding the one-week sales data of the PN game console he had just obtained.

 After a whole week of sales, their results can be said to be pretty good.

“According to statistics, a total of 24,347 copies of PN game consoles were sold in the first week. This is a very good response and means that users have great confidence in our products.”

 He is the head of the newly established game business department and is responsible for all content related to electronic games.

At the same time, this is also the first time that he has held the position of minister of a department, and he has a rather bold and adventurous attitude.

After a period of preparatory work, their business department has formed a team of fifty people, including game development and game software development teams.

Faced with an emerging industry, Surui Electronics entered very quickly, mainly because it is really not difficult to imitate red and white consoles. Surui Electronics can still quickly produce brand-new game console products with a lot of manpower.

After all, it is a giant group with a strong industrial foundation. They are not afraid of anyone in the field of electronic products.

 Several team leaders felt relaxed after hearing the sales data.

They were also a little exhausted during this period of time due to the rush of work. Knowing that the sales data was not bad made them feel relieved a lot.

The minister smiled: "This is a very good result. Thank you for your efforts. However, we should continue to work hard and not take it easy. This emerging industry of electronic games does seem to have great potential."

ˆAccording to their general survey, many of the people who bought it were players who had already purchased red and white consoles.

And they chose the PN game console simply because it claimed to have better performance and better quality products. No matter how you look at the game console of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it has a rough and inferior plastic feel, which gives Surui Electronics a Great opportunity.

Furthermore, each game can only be played for an average of ten days on average.

Now in Tokyo, which has just experienced a small game boom, many players rush to play one game and then can't wait to play the next one. They are eager to play more games, just like dry Sponges crave water.

Although some games are highly replayable, how can they be as good as new games?

Youxing Electronic Entertainment can only launch one game every month, which is too small in number, and the games it launches every month can only cover one category. If it is a genre that you don’t like, players will You will have to wait for a long time.

The PN game console fills this gap very well.

 There are three games in the first release. It’s hard to say the quality, but the quantity and sincerity are indeed enough.

The minister took the chart and said to everyone: "What we have to do now is to continue to increase investment. Not long ago, Zhuyou Electronic Entertainment just announced a pistol-type handle, which triggered a wave of craze. Who in your engineering department knows this technology? ?Can you explain the principle to me?"

 The team members responsible for engineering development looked at each other.

 They haven’t even heard of it.

 The handle can also be made into a gun shape?

 Then they shook their heads, having no clue.

“This is a product that has not yet been released. It has been in the trial stage. It is normal that you don’t know it. This is the information obtained by the investigators I sent out. This thing has not even been advertised.”

"We can't get more detailed data on this product for the time being, but I hope that once this product is released, you will be able to create a similar product for me as soon as possible, and you must circumvent their patented technology. Understand ?"

 The people in the engineering development team were confused after hearing this.

  Our competitors have to dismantle their products on the first day of sale and then manufacture similar products as soon as possible. This simply does not treat us as human beings. Research and development work is not that easy.

 But this is Japan, a country where overtime is prevalent, especially when the bubble bursts, which exacerbated this phenomenon.

Furthermore, I heard that this minister was formerly a deputy director of the Marketing Management Department. He obviously did not understand how difficult it is to overcome engineering and technical problems.

The head of their group had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

 Then, the minister looked at the game development team, which has the largest number of people now.

"I need you to produce four more games within a month. There must be no delay. Now is a good opportunity for us to capture the position. We must completely occupy this market."

 When game developers heard this, their eyes suddenly felt a little dark.

 They had almost dozens of people produce three games in succession.

And they were all a group of people who had no idea about video games before.

After more than half a month of studying some game programs for the Famicom, they found three relatively simple games, and then hurriedly worked on them.

 Now asking them to make four games a month is simply not treating them as human beings.

  The reason why Zhu Youxing was able to play so many games by himself in the first month was entirely based on the memory of his previous life.

Those mature game production templates have long been clearly on the chest. He can say that the game can be said to have no waste at all.

 But other people in this world have never systematically learned how to play games.

 Even if it is imitation, it is impossible to directly steal other people's code and use it. That is the stupidest way. If the other party wants to sue for infringement, it will be accurate and the reputation of the entire company will be damaged.

First, they need to dismantle the code and understand how the entire program works, and then re-build their own game framework and stuff content into it. With the occasional detour, after they have thoroughly studied the three simplest games, they only have After half a month, they were almost ready to move into the company for the remaining half a month.

The head of the game development team said with a grimace: "Minister, four games a month is already beyond our upper limit. It's not that we don't want to do it, but we want to make games of the same quality as our competitors. This is definitely not enough."

“Then why can people release six games at the launch of the game?” the minister asked with his eyes widened.

You want to know, we still want to know.

“Could it be that the company had already made corresponding preparations before it was established? In fact, their game development did not only take a month.”

"Impossible." The minister shook his head, "I have already investigated this company before. When the company was founded, this game console appeared simultaneously, and then several games appeared one after another in the following month. trial."

"According to the game release model of Zhuyou Electronic Entertainment, a small part of the game must be developed first for people to try out, and then the finished game is developed for sale. If the finished product is already available, there is no need to try it out. , wouldn’t it be possible to make money earlier by selling finished products directly?”

"But…"

"No need, but, didn't you also produce three games in the past month? Keep working hard, the salary will definitely not be less. If you have any difficulties in life, you can just ask them now. I will try my best to help you solve them. And I only have one request, to produce four more games in different categories within a month."
