Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

The outside world is talking about this new company, mainly because of Lorenzo and the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

As for the game producer himself, it seems that he has become a little transparent existence.

Many self-proclaimed professionals in the game industry analyzed it in various media.

From the capital reserve of the company's establishment, to the resume of the company's core producer Mr. Nintendo, and then the size of the company's personnel.

The final conclusion is that the company may not make much money.

Even if you make money, it may take decades to get back the money.

The investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is a bit of a loss.

These professionals are more implying in the media that other capital tycoons can invest in themselves. They have greater potential than Nintendo, have experience in developing large-scale games, and have sufficient manpower. Unlike Nintendo, starting a company requires first Get enough people.

And it is said that more than half of these people gathered are college students who have just graduated.

That's it?

Such a game company brazenly talked about making a large-scale game from the very beginning, and many people couldn't help laughing out loud.

Let’s talk about the battle royale game, so far no company has been able to make money. It seems a bit ridiculous for a new company to make money when it first comes up.

The outside world is full of suspicion, but inside the new company Nintendo, it is calm.

Employees throughout the company are in no mood to pay attention to outside discussions.

Because if the work is not done, it may affect the bonus.

Let’s not talk about what the game made by this company will be like, no overtime, and bonuses for finishing the work quickly, which is not something other companies can easily give.

Such a boss is still very good.

Except for one thing that's confusing.

That is, the boss has been wearing a hood with a smiley face mask since the meeting until now.

Isn't he hot?

Everyone is skeptical.

Why is this Nintendo so mysterious, even the voice seems to have been changed.

It's okay to hide it from the outside world, so why hide it from your own company?

I don't understand, I don't understand.

Of course, the boss is still a good boss.

"The restriction given to the player is to shrink the map every time a period of time, and force the player to squeeze towards a certain center position."

Zhu Youxing wore a huge smiling face and was behind a programmer to guide the game development.

"Shrink the map? Does that mean destroying the entire map? This is a bit technically difficult."

Programmers are in a bit of a bind.

"Of course not. It's actually very simple. You only need to set a circle in the program, and then set a fixed time to let the circle shrink slowly. Players outside the circle will not be eliminated immediately, but will gradually lose blood. That'll be fine."

"That's it... that seems a little easier, I'll try to do it."

The programmer seems to understand that this is indeed much simpler than previously imagined, just to add some mechanism settings to the map.

Marcus occasionally observes the movement of Zhuyouxing,

He would go to the program development area to guide the development of functional gameplay, and then he would go to the art team to guide the creation of art.

The program is as simple and efficient as possible, without redundant content, and the art is mainly cartoon, which can reduce the workload to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it will not make the game look too mediocre.

Marcus also found more and more that the development of this game was very smooth.

Is the strength of the world's number one independent game producer so powerful?

He also thought that Mr. Nintendo was just a guy who liked to fight alone, and he was definitely not very good at developing games in teams.

To be favored by Lorenzo is like winning the lottery.

However, judging from the progress of work in the past month, Lorenzo is obviously quite ahead of his time.

Mr. Nintendo's game development management ability and foresight are unparalleled.

Usually, the development of a game will go through project approval first, and then it will take several months to determine the general direction and core gameplay content of a game.

Then this direction and gameplay content will continue to change during the development process.

Because not all gameplay can be created immediately.

Some game producers propose too outrageous gameplay, which will cause the finished product of game development to be seriously out of touch with the pre-imagined.

Infinite Worlds was one such game from the start.

There is a huge gap between publicity and expectations.

If it weren't for the good reputation that was slowly reversed later, this game would probably become one of countless bad games.

Of course, there is also this game that was really lucky to be embraced by Youxing Electronic Entertainment and won the support of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This is also a lucky part.

As for Mr. Nintendo, the gameplay he developed is very mature.

Sometimes even the gameplay that the programmer came up with is too complicated, and Mr. Nintendo will take the initiative to lower the difficulty, and realize it with the most concise program under the premise of ensuring the gameplay.

Judging from this efficiency, it seems that it is really possible to develop this game within half a year.

In fact, the game Fortnite is not too difficult to develop a game.

One hundred people gathered on a large map, and then added the settings of the poisonous circle, and then added the settings of construction and dismantling, and the playing time was controlled within 30 minutes.

In fact, the prototype of this game has basically been completed, and the rest is to add details to the game.

At the beginning, Lorenzo spent 20 million US dollars to buy the company the right to use the full-featured Unreal Engine for two years, which greatly improved their development efficiency.

With the blessing of Unreal Engine, the development speed of this game has soared like a rocket.

It only took two months for the follow-up, the basic framework and prototype of the game have been completed, and it is no longer a problem to play directly.

At this time, Lorenzo appeared again, and he came forward to obtain the Morgan Group's cloud server service at a lower price to ensure that players would not have any network problems when playing in online mode.

The Morgan Group started out with operating systems and the Internet. They claim to be the number one in terms of network services. Few companies dare to challenge their status.

Then when the development came to the third month, the development of Fortnite was basically completed, and the efficiency was extraordinary.

And this only took more than a hundred people.

"Very well, everyone has worked hard. The game you have made is very good. If there are no accidents, this game will undergo the first round of Internet testing in a week, and then it will be officially released. If everything goes well, maybe in In two months we can witness a miracle."

In three months, and three months with almost no overtime, a game of good quality was completed in this way, and the more than one hundred people felt a little dazed.

They also noticed that such a battle royale game is indeed too simple.

There are only a few ways to play, and because of the cartoon style, there is no need for realistic graphics, and the performance requirements for computers and game consoles are even lowered to freezing point.

To the extent that notebooks seven or eight years ago could barely run games smoothly.

Marcus himself felt unbelievable, this game... just finished like this?
