Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Cyberpunk 2077 is a very playable game.

According to the normal game release rhythm, the general game popularity can last for about a month.

If it is longer, a little more than a month will be about the same.

However, due to too much content in Cyberpunk 2077, whenever the popularity seems to drop a little, many players will discover the new gameplay and fun of this game, and then continue to maintain the popularity of the entire game.

But it’s also easy to understand. This game is the most costly game so far. When other game manufacturers still maintain large-scale productions of around 100 million US dollars, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment directly rushed to the development cost of 1 billion US dollars.

In the end, after Zhuyouxing statistics, the total cost of Cyberpunk 2077 is estimated to exceed one billion U.S. dollars.

Several development teams have not been disbanded yet.

Their next task is to develop more character identities.

There are also main missions to update the game.

A new branch of the main story is added outside the main story, allowing the protagonist to explore other places before the final ending.

This new area to explore will also have a footprint close to the size of Night City.

And then there will be the online mode of Cyberpunk 2077 and the later maintenance and operation. Zhuyouxing intends to treat Cyberpunk 2077 as a long-term operation project.

The future online mode will also be a money-absorbing weapon.

When Cyberpunk 2077 was released for a month, other game developers felt that the time was almost ripe and it was time to release their own games.

Then they excitedly started the publicity campaign.

But when the game was officially released, the sales of all their games were at least 30% lower than originally expected.

A game that would have sold a million copies could only sell 600,000 to 700,000 copies.

This is a bit of a loss for the game company.

At the beginning, they couldn't find the reason. They didn't know why players didn't buy their games. Obviously, according to past habits, their game sales should be good.

Is it just like what Zhu Youxing once said, games with industrialized assembly lines will also have an upper threshold.

As there are more and more games on this kind of assembly line, players will gradually get tired and feel that this kind of big production is getting boring, just like a Hollywood movie with big special effects and big production.

Crazy piles of special effects can't bring matching benefits, and only those that are qualified in terms of plot, picture, rhythm, etc. can be welcomed by people.

Many game companies are beginning to struggle.

After finally finding a way to make money without losing money, I just lived a good life for a few years, so it's gone forever?

But the fact is that most players are still immersed in Cyberpunk 2077.

Even if you are not immersed, you will subconsciously compare these released games with Cyberpunk 2077.

Then in comparison, other games are simply unpalatable.

After eating delicious food, it is difficult to accept those so-so food.

But this is only a short period of time.

When you eat too much food, you will also get tired, and people will want to eat hamburgers and drink Coke again.

Of course, there are also companies that don't believe in evil, and will release games one after another in the next month.

In the end, their results were not satisfactory, but a more obvious trend can also be seen.

As the release time of Cyberpunk prolongs, the sales of games that will be released immediately after are getting closer and closer to the expected sales.

Only then did these developers realize that the popularity of Cyberpunk 2077 has not subsided.

Only after players get tired of playing Cyberpunk 2077, will a large number of players consider buying new games.

These developers have nothing to do about it. Who made Youxing Electronic Entertainment so powerful that it has no rivals in the field of video games.

The only thing they can do is wait patiently for the heat to pass before releasing their game.

For this reason, Mickford, Su Rui Electronics, and Brown Entertainment all decided to postpone their key games that were originally expected to be released.

Their key games have also invested a huge amount of resources, and even a slight mistake may lead to major troubles in their company's operations.

Not all companies can have the confidence of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

...

Zhuyouxing finished the day's development plan, and the next few development departments have new development tasks.

The Mario series is the ultimate magic weapon of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Zhuyouxing has launched a new generation of Mario Maker in the Mario series, with better picture quality and more playable content.

However, the overall development difficulty of this game is not high. It mainly relies on the player group to spontaneously create a complete form of the game, which is equivalent to the primary version of the game mod. Players only need to consider creating an interesting map.

The power of the crowd is great, and enough people can contribute their wisdom to produce more interesting and interesting content.

The Legend of Zelda is also in the development plan. The Legend of Zelda Kingdom Tears has just announced the general gameplay of a game before Zhuyou Star Trek.

But the simple display of gameplay also makes this game full of charm, and countless players want to buy this game like crazy.

Although Zhu Youxing didn't have the chance to play the Legend of Zelda Kingdom Tears in person, it is no problem to reproduce it in this world relying on a mature industrial system.

And Zhuyouxing is a little bit proud, that is, the Legend of Zelda he created is at least relatively high-quality, and the switch performance garbage that players in previous lives have gradually criticized has been solved by Zhuyouxing in this world.

The latest handheld has performance close to the PS4 level of the previous life, and it is basically no problem to meet the high-definition picture quality of 1080P plus 60 frames.

Then, other game development projects are regular sequel development tasks.

There are latest racing games, latest football games and basketball games.

These have a stable player base, as long as the quality is not reduced and the picture quality is improved, then the game will not worry about selling.

There is another project in cooperation with the Japanese government in this plan.

Zhu Youxing finally thought about it, and temporarily gave up the road of making film and television adaptation games.

You can't lower your own style in order to meet the requirements of the Japanese government, and do some ordinary games that are suspected of changing skins.

In any case, we should do something more distinctive.

Speaking of features, there just happens to be a new game type that is more suitable for development now.

This type can be called a hodgepodge game, and the gameplay is all integrated into one game. The name of this game is: Tokyo Olympics.

The name is very simple and straightforward, directly telling all players that this is a game in response to the opening of the Tokyo Olympics. In this game, players will be able to experience various events and activities that will occur in the normal Olympic Games.

This game Zhuyouxing intends to make it a little more serious. First, add the IP of many well-known characters under his command to the Olympic Games, allowing players to play well-known game characters to participate in the Olympic Games. IP blessings can make this game more attractive. , and then ask the development team to visit several national Olympic teams on the spot, investigate the personality traits and strengths and weaknesses of each national team’s Olympic players as much as possible, and give a sufficiently realistic gaming experience within a reasonable range.

Zhu Yuxing lowered his head and seriously wrote about the planning of this Olympic game, intending to release it before the Tokyo Olympics.

A development team of 1,000 people should be able to get it done within a year.

Then……

Beep, beep.

Just as Zhu Youxing continued to work on game planning, the phone on his desk rang.

Zhu Youxing took advantage of the opportunity to connect, and then went on to write about the planning of the Olympic games.

"President Takeyu, I am Ogi, the new station director of TV TOKYO."

"Damu?" Zhu Youxing froze for a moment, "What about the previous one?"

"Oh, that's right. The previous director has been promoted to the permanent director of the newspaper."

"Then congratulations to Director Oki, I'm sorry that I've been busy recently and haven't paid attention to TV Tokyo's affairs, so I have the opportunity to have dinner together."

"Haha, thank you President Zhuyou for your congratulations, but I'm not here to ask President Zhuyou for your congratulations. I have something here. It seems to be the cooperation between the director and you before. Is it the production of a certain animation?"

Animations... oh yes, Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

Zhu Youxing nodded: "There is such a matter, did he entrust this matter to you?"

"Yes, he specifically told me to take this cooperation project seriously. Now what I want to report to you is that the producer of this animation told me that they have completed the complete animation and can arrange screenings at any time, but this project does not It’s not our leadership, we can’t directly decide the screening of this animation, so we need to report to President Takeyu first.”

Finally done!

Zhu Youxing's eyes lit up.
