Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 900 A difficult job

 Chapter 900 A difficult job

  900

 It is an idol, the kind that is living and movable.

It is not the kind of photo that is placed on the altar to burn incense and worship Buddha every day.

Of course, those who place Takeyusei on the altar to burn incense and worship Buddha are usually ardent fans, and Ishii Chika has not yet reached that level.

 But her admiration for Zhu Youxing is also undisguised.

 “Hello, President!”

As soon as Takeyusei came out, Endo straightened his body and looked at Takeyusei respectfully without hesitation.

 Hello Endo-san, how is the character program development going today? Are you..."

Endo was very happy to hear that Takeyusei could call his name without hesitation: "President, I am leading the newcomers who have just entered the company to familiarize themselves with the office space. As for my work, I have temporarily completed what I am doing. Content, later I plan to continue to write program codes for other characters according to the content given by the character designer."

Takeyusei has only known Endo for the past few days, because he is currently working hard to promote the design of passerby characters in Cyberpunk 2077. Endo and more than a dozen employees are the core of programming in this area, and Takeyusei will occasionally go there. Looking at the status and progress of their work, you will naturally become more familiar with them.

“Is this the one?” Takeyusei looked at the young-looking Ishii Chika again.

When Chika Ishii saw Takeyusei looking at him, he immediately became a little panicked and quickly bowed and said: "Hello, president, my name is Chika Ishii, I...I am a fan of Qi..."

Zhu Youxing said with a smile: "Welcome to our company. I hope you will like it here in the future, but you don't have to bow to me here. In our company, there are no troublesome rules like other companies. Stand tall and straighten your chest with confidence." Just look at me."

Chika Ishii was a little stunned.

 At school, she had actually long been accustomed to the relationship of superiority and inferiority.

 This is very common in Japanese social structure.

Each person's class is absolute. If a subordinate disrespects his superior, he may be greeted with various punishments.

 However, President Zhuyou doesn’t seem to care about this at all.

 No, not only President Zhuyou, but also other people in the company, she also noticed that everyone seemed to have a very equal relationship.

This is actually the habit of Zhuyouxing, and video games are an emerging industry. This industry started relatively late, and the average age of each person is not high. The age relationship also means that these young people are generally not used to it. A strict superior-subordinate relationship.

With the promotion of Zhuyouxing's company philosophy, this aspect has been weakened even more, making the atmosphere of the entire company feel quite wonderful, and it is indeed an outlier among many companies in Japan.

However, in fact, there are some signs of this kind of corporate class structure in Japanese game companies in the original world.

 After all, human nature does not really want to be inferior to others, but it is just that occasionally there is a lack of opportunities to activate human nature.

“Okay, you guys are busy, I have other work to do.”

 “Good president!”

Watching Takeyusei leave, Ishii Chika couldn't help but murmur to herself.

  “He is truly a legendary figure.”

 “What?” Endo didn’t hear clearly.

“I mean, President Zhuyou is really a legend. I originally thought I would be nervous when facing him, but after I actually saw him, I didn’t feel that way at all. Instead, I felt very...comfortable.”

Endo said with a very understanding expression: "I was about the same as you when I entered the company. Later, after meeting President Takeyu several times, I was completely convinced. I am afraid that only such people can continue to make such achievements. What an excellent game, because he has no interest in engaging in office politics at all, and he doesn’t want other people in the company to engage in such a trend." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then continued, "Ishii, you will have many opportunities to interact with me in the future. When you meet President Zhuyou, you will be able to better understand the feelings of everyone here."

"I see."

“Okay, I’ll take you to your work station next, and it’s time for me to do my own work.”

 …

  Zhu Yuxing left the first game development department and went straight to the third development team.

 The development work of 2077 is also being carried out intensively over there.

While working, he had little extra time to do other things, and all the work was done by several departments interspersed with inspections.

 In fact, he can completely let his employees do other game development.

 But for Cyberpunk 2077, he has some personal emotions mixed in. His emotions towards this game are very unique.

He also wants to use his own hands to create a more perfect Cyberpunk 2077

There is actually nothing wrong with the story structure of the original game. The problem lies in the fact that the game is not fun enough and it is lower than expected.

So, in this world, he strives to make a Cyberpunk 2077 that exceeds expectations

For example, every character in the original game was really like a walking zombie, reacting according to established procedures without any emotion.

For those who have played the game Red Dead Redemption 2, I understand that the passerby characters in Cyberpunk 2077 are really rubbish.

Each passerby character in Red Dead Redemption 2 really looks like a living person, at least so that players will not feel any sense of dissonance in a short time when meeting these passerby characters.

 This is success.

 So, since 2077 has a shortcoming in this aspect, let’s make up for it.

 As for spending money? That's not a big problem.

It doesn’t matter how much money you invest in this game, it’s all about realizing a dream about cyberpunk and 2077.

It’s just that making every passerby character vivid enough has temporarily encountered some bottlenecks.

In the elevator, Zhu Youxing has been frowning and thinking about countermeasures.

How did you make every character in Red Dead Redemption so vivid?

 Relying on crazy piles of program data?

That may be possible, but the data carried by the game will probably be of a very terrifying magnitude.

Leaving aside the question of how much money it will cost, first of all, after the game is finished, what kind of game console and computer can run it in the face of such a huge amount of calculations?

 Game development is also an art.

  It is an art about trade-offs.

  Sometimes, in order to allow more players to experience a game, we have to make certain trade-offs on the originally designed game.

  Just like those online games in the original world.

After making money, those games will actually be eager to improve some game graphics to make themselves more attractive.

But at the same time, the only reason for them to give up this idea is that once the game graphics are improved, it may dissuade many low-configuration players.

 In this world, players with low-configuration computers and game consoles are the real mainstream.

 So, it is really difficult to make the game characters vivid without stacking too much data calculations.
