Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 753 Change starts from now

 Chapter 753 Change starts from this moment

  752

 Beautiful women are always popular.

The release of Bayonetta can be regarded as setting an example for the entire industry.

Developers who were timid before saw the popularity of Bayonetta, and they all realized that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment may have made a lot of money this time.

 In the past, many game manufacturers were somewhat influenced by the group of people with the loudest voices, and had to make the characters as unattractive as possible. For this reason, some works even attracted a lot of infamy.

However, at that time, the shareholders of game manufacturers who did not understand games did not understand it.

 Obviously these are the things you want, but why are the sales not good in the end?

 But now they finally understand.

The guys with the loudest voices are not necessarily gamers.

 Gamers really don’t have that many ideas, they just want to play some fun or good-looking games.

 In this process, players who pursue picture quality and players who pursue gameplay can be considered equally divided, and among them, the easiest aspect to develop is definitely the picture.

 Because this can be won entirely by relying on technology.

So immediately after Bayonetta, each game finally began to create more beautiful characters without restraint.

“Boss, I have said before that our game characters should look better, because only in this way can we save our company from bankruptcy.”

In a certain game company, a game producer with a stake finally couldn't help but confront the company's boss at a public meeting.

 He couldn't bear it long ago.

　　When the boss recruited them before, he said very nice things about giving them creative freedom, or letting them develop games to their heart's content without considering the cost of the game.

However, in reality, it doesn’t matter if it is hindered by funding. Game development is definitely not smooth sailing, and the biggest obstacle is the lack of funding.

But game development and movies have similar benefits, that is, there are ways to make money without money, as long as your creativity is clever enough.

Isn’t this how the current hot independent game scene has emerged?

 However, what he couldn't stand the most was another kind of discomfort, that is, the boss above began to restrict the direction and content of their development.

 At the very beginning, the boss began to ask them to develop the most popular games at the time, and they could no longer limit themselves to the good games they wanted to create.

 Following that, the boss began to restrict the character images they developed to be as inconspicuous as possible, because this way they would not be targeted by the loudest group of guys, and it would be better to make money quietly than anything else.

 In the end, the main creator of the game broke out completely. After Bayonetta was released, he finally found a reason to confront the boss of the game company.

"Boss, look at the game Bayonetta. It's fun enough in terms of gameplay, but it's definitely not the top game of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. However, this game is widely popular, so why not? Do you understand the players’ choice? They will definitely not like that kind of deliberately ugly image. What people pursue in the game is a beautiful experience outside the real world. They don’t want to bring those unpleasant feelings in the real world into the game. inside!"

The boss of this game company was silent at the conference table, listening to the accusations of the main creative staff.

 The main creators of this game are already very obvious in their behavior, but the video game industry is a very young industry today, and it is very different from other industries.

And now his company is indeed facing a business crisis. If no changes are made now, all his investments will be in vain.

“So, do you have any good ideas? According to you, we just need to create good-looking characters?”

"Of course it's not absolute, but it can at least bring about some changes, at least so that we can't be manipulated by a group of guys who are not players in the first place. Those guys are obviously not our users, so why should we develop according to what they say? A game?"

The boss finally relaxed a little, and he said: "Then you give it a try, but I don't have much money now..."

The main creative staff immediately said: "Don't worry about this. If I am here, at least I can keep the team going for a while, and we can work hard to develop a good enough game during this time!"

The boss said with a wry smile: "If it could be so easy to develop excellent games, we wouldn't be running poorly now."

"No, boss, our direction was wrong before, but now we still have a chance to save it, because we are so careful and there are many excellent resources and materials that have not been used. Now we can save it in time and develop an industrial standard game. "

 “Industrial standards game?”

"That's right, we also need to change the character image and give up those ugly characters. This time we will develop the game to our heart's content, but all this requires your permission, boss. If you don't agree, I may do it now Just resign.”

 Hearing these words from the main creative staff, the boss finally had no choice at this time.

 At this moment, the future of his company is probably in the hands of the main creator in front of him. The only thing he can do is to provide as much financial support as possible.

Looking at the company he worked so hard to create, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will no longer restrict you. You can do whatever you want. But I still said what I said just now. I really There’s no money left.”

“Don’t get me wrong, we’re not trying to save the company, we’re trying to save the game we’ve worked so hard to create.”

 “Then...just do it.”

Hearing the boss’s affirmative reply, the creative staff finally breathed a sigh of relief.

 Be able to develop the games he wants to create. This has always been his wish, and now he can do it.

 While other people in the meeting were barely able to breathe, the creative staff could confront the boss, so they wouldn't even think about it.

But seeing the main producer of the game convince the boss, they were all happy.

At least the boss is not so obsessed that he can’t listen to anything he says.

 After the meeting, the producer quickly returned to the office of his small game development team.

 At this moment, the core team has already been waiting for the producer’s return.

 “How is it? What does the boss say?”

The producer smiled: "The boss agreed, but there is no salary, but we have regained the right to change the game."

 “Long live!” These people cheered after hearing this.
