Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

At the end of the meeting, it was a summary of game sales and a brief introduction of recent industry trends.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment's game sales are not very meaningful now, and Zhuyouxing no longer regards this as a game qualification standard, because Youxing Electronic Entertainment has grown to the point where any game that is not bad in quality can be won Pretty lucrative.

At this time, Zhu Youxing realized that if these guys continue to use sales as the only consideration for game development, then everyone will definitely develop in the direction of lying flat.

This is the reason why those well-known game developers in the past and later developed games in a flat style.

The volume is large enough, even if the game is almost a reskinned work compared to the previous one, it is still a big seller.

The examples that must be mentioned here are FIFA, COD and several other games.

As long as they launch a sequel, sometimes even if there is no change in essence, they still have tens of millions of sales, which is very exaggerated.

It seems that players buying their games have become a kind of inertia.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Zhu Youxing will look for other game development assessment standards.

Statistics on sales at the meeting were simply reported.

What follows is a questionnaire about the players.

This is the strategy Zhuyouxing plans to implement recently. From the player questionnaire, see if you can find some answers, some answers that can help the game continue to thrive.

"Seventy percent of players want Final Fantasy 13versus to have a new battle mode, just like the previous Final Fantasy 7 remake. Obviously, there is a bigger market for real-time action combat games now."

"Forty-five percent of gamers want a smartphone version of the Forza Horizon series, even if the graphics are worse."

percent……

All kinds of data are presented in front of every participant, giving them some reference for later games.

"Recently, the number of game console players online at the same time has decreased, roughly to about 73% of what it was a month ago. We have also analyzed the specific reasons. It should be related to the current Olympic Games. Most of the attention, I think we should not waste too much money on publicity and promotion now, it is not worth the loss."

"Then what should we do next? Develop the game step by step?"

"That's the only way, what else can I do besides this?"

After the data report is over, the rest is the time for the participants to chat. This time is also a good opportunity for everyone to learn about the department's dynamics.

Especially the dozen or so ministers of the game development department, each of them chatted with each other like good friends, and at the same time exchanged their recent experiences on game development.

Zhu Youxing heard something from the side.

These guys seem to be a little absent-minded.

But that's right, most players and ordinary people have already been attracted by the enthusiasm of the Olympic Games, and their employees are also ordinary people, so naturally they will also be interested in these hot news.

"Hey, it seems that the Olympic Games at the end of this year will add some new events. It seems that there are skateboarding competitions and fast rock climbing. Have you paid attention?"

"No, is this thing interesting?"

"It's quite interesting. I've been looking for relevant information for nothing recently. I've actually been thinking about making a game about extreme sports, and putting all the extreme sports games I'm familiar with into the game to experience."

"Well, would anyone be interested in this kind of game?"

"I think there will be. First of all, you see, extreme sports themselves can stimulate people's adrenaline, so extreme sports themselves should also have this feature, coupled with the entertainment attributes and achievements that come with the game, let players every time Each stage has different rewards, so the basic structure of this game is completed."

"but……"

"But what?"

"I'm actually thinking about collecting more materials and taking the team to see more things about extreme sports, but the recent time is really relatively small."

"That's right, the pressure on game development is still quite high recently. The Resident Evil project on my side has just been approved, and all the work is about to start preparations."

"So is my Monster Hunter, and a new Monster Hunter game is also in development."

Everyone showed a look of distress.

Zhu Youxing saw it and felt a little funny in his heart.

All the words of these guys should be talking to themselves.

They should really want to get permission from themselves, a permission to take a little vacation.

And it just happened to be during the Olympic Games at this time, so there was no need to say more about their purpose.

Zhu Youxing said: "Okay, you guys, stop pretending, and pretend to do this kind of thing in front of me. I'm not interested in seeing you acting here. There is still half a month before the opening of the Olympic Games. In the last half a month, get all the existing work done, don't leave a tail, let the work at least reach a level where it can be temporarily suspended, and the development will not be affected by the interruption, and then the whole company will take a vacation, and only the basic maintenance personnel will be retained. .”

Everyone was overjoyed, obviously this strategy was successful, they managed to get their president to listen carefully to their opinions.

"Hey President, you are more reasonable. I have already made an appointment with my wife and children to watch the Olympic Games together. Of course, my work will definitely not be delayed!"

"President, I will definitely not delay, and the work will be arranged step by step."

"President, I can assure you that my game development plan will not be affected. Grand Theft Auto 5 will definitely be released next summer!"

At this moment, there are still several heads of the game development department in the United States. They participated in this meeting through remote calls, but in fact at least two of them are already in Japan, but they haven't dared to talk directly to Bamboo. You Xing confessed.

Now that Zhu Youxing directly allowed them to take a good vacation, they felt at ease.

In fact, Zhu Youxing also felt that it was time to take a good vacation.

Although the company has always adhered to the strategy of not working overtime easily in recent years, it has indeed had almost no formal rest time in recent years

Only some official holidays are still implemented.

Obviously, there were still some companies' collective holiday activities before.

The main reason is that the pace of game development is accelerating, and Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not immune.

And this time it happened to be during the Olympic Games, it seemed that I really should take a vacation, and at the same time, I could also take a vacation.
