Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 802 bold idea

Chapter 802 A bold idea

  801

 “Why do you need so many people?” Hayakawa Ueto looked at the other party with a dull expression.

 At present, Surui Electronics’ game development team has a total of more than a dozen development teams.

Each team now has an average of about two hundred people.

 This is a company with quite a large number of people among all game companies.

  If there were not so many development teams, it would be impossible to compete with Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the game market. I am afraid that they would have been completely crushed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Hayakawa Ueto also knows that only with sufficient developers can the quality of the game be improved.

  However, there is also a certain upper limit on the number of people in game development. Currently, a development team of two hundred people is considered normal operation. No matter how many people there are, there should be no need.

 And this person wants to increase a development team to more than a thousand people as soon as he opens his mouth, which is a bit much.

 “This…is related to a game class I once participated in.”

 “Game classroom? What game classroom?”

“That... I hope you don’t mind, President, it’s a game class of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment that I attended. I was lucky enough to meet Zhu Yusei himself in that class.”

This person seemed a little cautious when he spoke, fearing that he would cause dissatisfaction with Ueto Hayakawa if he said that he attended lectures given by Surui Electronics' competitors.

However, Hayakawa Ueto was quite calm.

 Participate in the class of Youxing Electronic Entertainment?

So what, I have participated in it myself.

Although he participated quietly at the time, no one except Youxing Electronic Entertainment knew that he had attended that class.

Hayakawa Ueto, who had participated in that class, knew that Takeyusei was really capable. You could indeed learn a lot by participating in his class. He did not need to mind the competitive relationship between the two parties without learning the other party's advanced ideas.

 In that case, you will only be complacent.

 Speaking of which, these words were all said by my father.

Hayakawa Ueto calmly signaled: "Continue talking."

"In that class, I learned a new game development concept, which is game industrialization. Everyone performs their own duties. In this process, all repetitive and tedious processes are solved in the simplest way possible, so that Everyone can have time to think about more details and gameplay in the game. Thousands of people can quickly develop a standard game, and at the same time, a thousand people also have a thousand ideas to improve the gameplay and details of the entire game. Detailed padding.”

 Simply put, this is simply relying on the accumulation of people to achieve qualitative change.

“President, I know that this may increase a lot of labor costs, but I think this is an opportunity to achieve transformation. Speaking of which, have you, the president, paid attention to Assassin’s Creed, which was recently released by Youxing Electronic Entertainment?”

"Assassin's Creed? Of course I know, it's quite famous recently." Hayakawa Ueto blurted out.

 This game is already quite famous in the gaming circle.

But maybe it was because he had already heard about Zhu Youxing. After hearing that Zhu Youxing participated in the development of Assassin's Creed, he subconsciously believed that success was inevitable.

This person said a little shyly: "Actually, I also participated in the development of this game, but the time was very short at the time, but this is also my honor."

 “Huh?” Hayakawa Ueto was stunned.

The person in front of you has also participated in the development of Assassin's Creed?

 “Why? Why are you involved in development?”

The person immediately explained: "This was also one of the courses at that time. The course lasted for seven days. At that time, there were just over a thousand people participating in the course. More than a thousand of us were engaged in various game development industries. Similarly, in this course, all our students participating in the course will work together to develop a prototype of a game according to Zhu Youxing's guidance, and then it only takes us one week to build the entire game framework. During this period we Countless sparks of ideas have also collided. In fact, if I say it a little boldly, the success of Assassin's Creed should be regarded as our share of the credit?"

 This is really unexpected news.

Hayakawa Ueto had never heard of this before.

 He looked at the others: "Have any of you participated in that course?"

 At this time, two of the other people who had just been promoted came out and raised their hands.

“President, we have also participated. In fact, if you play this game now, our names are still in the credits at the end.”

 Hayakawa Ueto was a little silent for a while, and then he noticed something. He suddenly raised his head and looked at these people again: "Wait a minute, you just said that you spent a week developing the general framework of a game?"

"Yes, I have to say that this is a miracle. To be honest, without Bamboo Youxing, we can't imagine that if there are enough people, game development can be so easy, and everyone's collaborative work efficiency It will be so strong."

Hayakawa Ueto thought for a while and nodded and said: "Takeyusei does have this ability. I'm afraid no one can do this except him, but it's really hard to believe."

　　The main framework of Assassin’s Creed was completed in just one week.

 He has not played this game, but he has seen the trailer of this game.

He was deeply impressed by the realistic game scenes in the game trailer.

 But just like before, Hayakawa Ueto has taken it as inevitable that the game developed by Takeyusei will be successful, and there is almost no doubt about it.

 Then, he realized that he had overlooked something very important.

  Is the reason why Zhu Youxing is so successful just because of his own abilities?

These people just said that they also have a share of credit for the development of Assassin's Creed.

 No, I must experience this Assassin's Creed for myself when I go back.

ˆHis previous fixed thinking made him forget to study the competitor's products, which has to be said to be a mistake.

 Learning the strengths of others is what people like him should do, rather than wasting time.

“So, President, what do you think of this suggestion? Increase manpower.”

 “This needs to be seriously considered.” Hayakawa Ueto said.

 The addition of so many employees in one fell swoop was at a time when the game department had just been reintegrated.

 He can decide how many people to lay off, but he cannot completely decide how many people to recruit.

 Unless he can be sure that it is really feasible.

 It’s just that everything seems to be unknown now.

 So he decided to go back and study Assassin's Creed first.
