Super Game Empire

Kawashima Kou packed up his backpack, loosened his tie, then unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, looked at his watch, and at 6:30 pm, he had been working overtime for an hour.

Today is the weekend, and now it is private time. Kawashima Kou finished packing his desk and workbench, turned off his computer, clocked in and got off work, and greeted other Sony employees who had not left. He secretly wondered where to go today to solve the dinner. He went

Can you just solve the problem of convenience stores near your home? Or should you invite a few friends to drink together?

"Hi baseball bat!" Kook Kawashima carried his briefcase and just walked out of the company building not far away. When he walked towards the subway entrance, he heard a familiar voice and couldn't help laughing.

"Rotten Tomatoes, didn't you get off work on time an hour ago?" Kyo Kawashima saw Sosuo Fukuda standing in front of a black sedan and trotted up to meet him: "Where is the rotten egg?"

Fukuda Shoo laughed loudly and gave up the back window. A lazy and slightly depressed voice came from inside: "Kawashima, it's your private time after get off work. Can you not mention the company's affairs?"

These three are the designer trio of PC transplanted versions in Sony's "Zombie Siege" project department. The three of them nickname each other and often come out to mock each other.

Several people were riding in a car with a smile. Kawashima Kung and Miki Ryo, nicknamed "Stealed Eggs", sat in the back row, Fukuda Sora sitting in the co-pilot, the driver was a strange man, Kawashima Kung asked: "This one

yes?"

Fukuda Sorao turned his head and smiled strangely and introduced: "Takahashi Yu is a good friend of mine, a fellow game producer. I will tell you a game made by their company. You must know. "American Pie"!"

Kawashima Kou widened his eyes and couldn't even close his mouth. Under the mocking of several friends, he raised his thumbs up and exclaimed: "This game is very good! I've bought a full set..."

Hahahaha... It turns out that each of them has treasured this 18-banned adult game!

The four of them were so happy that they laughed. Takahashi Yu was even more proud. He looked at the two behind from the rearview mirror and said loudly: "Since you three are my customers, I will treat you tonight!"

Weekends are synonymous with relaxation. After a drink at the restaurant, the four of them didn't even drive the car. They staggered to the nearby bar and continued to drink and chat to see the beautiful women.

During the meal, the distance between several people was much closer. The four of them were all young people of twenty-three or four years old. They lived a casual life, but they didn't have much extra money. Sony gave them not too high.

They are all game designers who work in programs, and working overtime is common, and they all complain and complain.

Takahashi Yuuo eyes were sleepy and held the beer toast several people: "Why come to our SZone company, although our company is not many people, the game he made is very popular! The movie "American Pie" will be released in the first half of next year

, Now our new game "The Last Road" is forming a research and development team. Are you willing to join?"

The game "The Last Journey" is just a high-end, atmospheric and high-end adult game. Several men use their little remaining awake consciousness to try their best to exert their imagination. They gather together to lust/smile/smile

stand up.

A few people took a sip of wine. As the best skilled person in the trio, Kawashima Kou took the lead and said, "Sorry, although Sony did not treat us well. But let's change jobs to SZone, it's not very good to do this.

Bar……"

Fukuda Sorao and Miki Ryo also nodded: "Although Sony has little authority to us, at least it is also an internationally renowned large enterprise..."

Takahashi Yu asked drunkenly: "Did you ever think about working alone? You have good ideas, why don't you give it a try? Young people don't look for opportunities to experiment, will you stay at Sony for the rest of your life in the future?"

The three of them were silent, but not long after, Takahashi Yuu came over with a bottle of wine and changed to another topic. He drank with everyone without getting drunk and danced with the beauties, and had a lot of fun.

Last week, after Ken Kutaraki forced them to concentrate on making the PS version, Ko Kawashima once planned to resist the order and secretly made the game privately, and was approved by Fukuda Sorao and Ryo Miki.

However, Sony has strict laboratory rules, and R&D personnel prohibit the source code from being brought out of the company, so they need to copy the game based on their memory. It is obviously impossible, and the workload is too large.

Think about it again, if the game is successfully produced, who will be given to, who will be the future benefits, how will they apply for their patents, what role will Sony play in the middle, all these problems are very difficult and easy to do.

Break the enthusiasm of the three.

The drunken people went home separately, sleeping in the dark. On Saturday night, Kawashima Kou was woken up by the phone call from his home. Miki Ryo called him and asked him to come out for dinner and discuss the matter.

After Kawashima Kou washed up, he took a taxi to the designated location of Miki Ryo. Fukuda Sorao had arrived in advance, but the friend he just met yesterday was not here, so he changed to another foreigner he didn't know.

"Hello Kawashima! I am David Smith, the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region of KTT Company in the United States, responsible for the sales and promotion of KTTGame in the Asia-Pacific region!" This strong man with high nose, blue eyes is a typical American, very enthusiastic,

It was a bear hug from the way up.

Kawashima Kou looked at Miki Ryo in confusion, and the latter introduced: "I met David on the release date of "Need for Speed". We have been in touch for the past few months. I asked you to come, and they also asked me to do so.

I……"

When the staff arrived, a sumptuous meal was delivered. When David was having a great time, he said meaningfully: "I heard that there was a division within Sony. Some of them were interested in starting a business by themselves? How about joining our KTT company? We can

Ensure that rich resources and excellent game distribution platform are provided, it will definitely give you the most flexible autonomy!”

The three of them still didn't answer this, but it can be seen that they were very moved.

David was not in a hurry, and several people were having sex while chatting. He said that KTT's beautiful prospects were scattered, and said that KTT was an international giant PC game giant that beat EA and was not afraid of Longteng, with a bright future.

, those who are interested are welcome to join, and the best treatment for the three of them will be given to them.

After the banquet ended, David Smith, who was treating the guests, said goodbye drunk, the three of them finally couldn't help but look at each other and found a convenient seat on the street to sit down.

"Do you think something is wrong?" Fukuda Sorao recalled: "Takahashi Yu is my classmate from Waseda University. After we graduated, we went our separate ways. It is rare to meet once a year. He suddenly came to me, but it didn't seem to be specifically for me.

It seems that we are here to win over the three of us to change jobs."

Miki Ryo also pondered: "David means that he hopes we will join KTT, but I am not optimistic about the competition between them and Ea and Longteng, and Longteng is also developing towards PC games."

Koko Kawashima sighed: "I don't know who the next one is? Long Teng comes here in person? In addition, I think the most confusing thing is that the three of us are really worthy of their support and poaching?"

The three of them were silent, and no one could tell why. They were just the lowest-level programmers and unfamous low-level programmers. Why did Sony reject their creativity and so many companies rush to ask for it? Is their thoughts?

, really has the characteristics of a hot-selling game?

On Sunday, as expected, Ko Kawashima met a person who made him feel creepy - Wang Zhe, the president of Fengyun Game Software Company, nicknamed "Black Heart King". Everyone knows that Fengyun is Longteng's earliest division in Japan.

In the company, Wang Zhe was the giant sword that turned Japan upside down!

Wang Zhe directly brought the other two people to Kawashima Gong's house. The question was straightforward: "Are you willing to resign from Sony and join Fengyun Games?"

This... the result of the discussion last night was that if Longteng sent someone to contact him, they would first ask about the treatment and then agree.

Kawashima Kou asked in confusion: "Is this appropriate? Poach directly from his competitors?"

Wang Zhe sneered: "Your chief designer, Dero Fujiwara, is originally from Longteng Company. Sony can bring him over to "Zombie Siege". Why can't I recruit a few Sony employees?"

Kawashima Kou and the other two were shocked. They didn’t know that the serious and old-fashioned chief designer, Takaro Fujiwara, was actually a Longteng employee!

Wang Zhe continued: "Any other company can give you everything, Longteng can give you, and we guarantee that after your group joins, you will not be affected by anyone other than Longteng CEO. The platform is open to you and allows you to

Free play, just like Capcom, Korome, Bullfrog and other studios, you can also keep your own studio brand!”

Creating your own studio brand is a very memorable thing. In the future, all the games they make will have their own logos. Do game development just hope to reach this point?

Wang Zhe put out all the benefits and soon the three of Kawashima Kou came to the cave. He decided that starting on Monday, the three of them would take the initiative to resign.

It took only one week, on September 15, 1995, Kawashima Kou and his three successfully resigned from Sony Entertainment Computer Company, all of which were the reasons that the three had different ideas from Sony Company!

This made Ken Kutaraki furious. He personally questioned the three of them and received the same tough response. He was determined to compete for the suspension of development of the PC project!

Everyone paid a high penalty of 2 million yen, and nothing was taken away, leaving it all to Sony.

Three days later, they also gave Sony a gift. The nhk TV's exclusive interview program made a detailed comparison of the unfair treatment they received at Sony and the super high-standard treatment given by Fengyun Games.

"Who got away with it?" This is the theme of this episode, which makes Sony company stand at the forefront again! (To be continued...)
