"Why is there a new game released? I remember that Youxing Electronic Entertainment's recent game development cycle is very long, and it will take at least one or two years to produce results. Could it be that you are talking about the Olympic game?"

Myron Keith is now very wary of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

But he needs to know immediately if there is any disturbance.

Even the games released by Youxing Electronic Entertainment are considered good days for him.

Grand Theft Auto is expected to have results in a year, the new Final Fantasy series may have to wait two years, and Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda will also take two years.

The only game that is going to be released in the near future and is supervised by Zhu Youxing himself is the 2020 Olympic Games.

However, according to the investigation, it is known that this game is of a cooperative nature, not a key project of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but a product to help Japan conquer the Olympic Games.

This type of game is also a novelty for a while, and there will not be much repercussions.

"No, it's a game made by Zhu Youxing himself, and now the trial version is released in the crowdfunding area of ​​independent games."

"Indie game? Produced by Zhu Youxing? Why did he do this?"

Myron Keith really didn't know about this news, because this was not the official activity of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it was a game developed by Zhu Youxing himself, and there was no publisher.

"His purpose is to continue to promote the influence of independent games and expand the circle of independent games."

"In other words, this game should be mostly of a ticket nature?"

Myron Keith breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just an independent game, so you shouldn't worry too much.

I really let myself have a false alarm, this guy Zhu Youxing is really restless, he will always surprise you suddenly.

The person in charge of the game department said: "Maybe it's really just for fun, but I've played this game, and it's quite interesting."

"That's okay, an independent game will definitely not affect our overall plan."

Myron Keith didn't take it too seriously.

He also knows that independent games are a minority after all.

Until now, he hasn't seen any independent game that is so popular that it becomes a trend.

Wait... it seems that there are.

He remembered a game called Stardew Valley.

The identity of the producer of this game is very mysterious, and he is also well-known in the independent game circle, but in recent years he seems to have disappeared and no longer makes games.

It seems that the sales volume of that game has exceeded 10 million, and it is also the first time that people have seen the charm of independent games.

No, probably not, that level of indie games is hard to come by.

His subordinates said that the producer of Stardew Valley is the top genius in the independent game circle, and this kind of game idea often comes from a flash of inspiration, even the game producer himself is difficult to reproduce The splendor of Stardew Valley.

Didn't this person also choose to cooperate with other people to make games like Dead Cells later?

This also proves that it is difficult to be popular alone.

"Okay, I understand this matter, you just continue to release games at your own pace, and the company's team will give you the greatest support."

Seeing that the boss has already said that, it is hard for him as a subordinate to say anything more.

However, he also believes that it is difficult for an independent game to have much influence.

There is no need to adjust the original company strategy for this game.

In the past one or two months, Mickford has arranged many large-scale game releases.

They just plan to take advantage of the fact that several other game companies have not made any big moves for the time being.

In the game industry, Mickford is indeed well-known, but it is not up to the first-class level, so he can only take the opportunity to make a fortune when the first-class companies do not release games.

Previous infinite worlds have proven that this path works.

...

Kazuo Murakami still felt very superior.

Even though he has already played the trial version of The Binding of Isaac badly, and played almost all the gameplay in the trial version once, he still feels that it is not enjoyable enough.

The combination of Isaac is very good in terms of equipment matching, and the difficulty of each level is just right, not high or low, as long as you play a little seriously, you can get a very great sense of accomplishment at the beginning.

Even when he's not playing the game, what he's thinking about lately is how to equip in this game, and then try it when he gets started again.

At this moment, he felt that the time passed really slowly. How did it take so long for a month?

It would be nice if it could come sooner.

There are many people who have similar thoughts with Kazuo Murakami.

Because this is an indie game with tens of millions of dollars in crowdfunding, it means that at least one million players have pre-ordered the game in advance, just waiting for the game to be officially released.

One month is not long, and it actually passed quickly, but it is really a torment for these players who are waiting for the game to be released.

Every day is counting the days and waiting for the game to go online.

Because of the fame of Zhu Youxing, The Binding of Isaac has far more influence than the original game from the very beginning. Not to mention ordinary gamers, most independent game developers also choose to pre-order this game.

This is an independent game made by Zhu Youxing himself, which represents a benchmark.

If it can achieve extraordinary success, it means that indie games still have great potential.

Ueto Hayakawa of Su Rui Electronics also noticed the movements of Zhu Yuxing himself, knowing that when he was engaged in some other things, he did not fail to understand like Myron Case.

It may be because he has been with Zhu Youxing for more than 20 years as both an enemy and a friend, and he has a good understanding of Zhu Youxing himself.

Everything Zhuyouxing does is definitely meaningful and purposeful.

Even if Zhu Youxing is currently making an independent game with only one person participating in the production, it must not be underestimated.

Therefore, Ueto Hayakawa specifically told the game team not to invest too much publicity work in the near future, and not to release blockbuster game works in the near future, so as to avoid crashing with Zhu Yuxing.

At the same time, he also arranged that he would get the official version of the game on the day when the game of The Binding of Isaac was released, and then he would experience the game with the team to see if there were any merits.

So one month later, on the day the independent game The Binding of Isaac was released, Ueto Hayakawa and his staff stayed up late at night waiting for the game to be unlocked, and prepared to experience it for the first time.

Looking at the clock approaching twelve o'clock, Ueto Hayakawa looked at the employees around him.

"By the way, I remember that there is a trial version of this game. Has any of you played it?"
