Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

This matter was not a problem for Hayazawa Airi, and she easily helped to contact a few Budokans that were considered well-known in Japan.

They were very interested in being hired as consultants, especially if Zhu Youxing was willing to pay a fee.

Now even some well-known Budokans are not doing very well. Japan's economic bubble affects all aspects, and they are also short of money now.

However, they also put forward their own request, that is, they hope that their Budokan name can be added to the list of the produced games to help them increase their reputation.

The Zhuyou star agreed directly, this is a matter of mutual benefit, just adding their names to the end list at the end of the game, which is actually more useless than traditional film and television dramas.

Only players who have actually played the game and cleared the level will be able to see the ending credits list.

Generally speaking, 30% of the game's clearing players is already a pretty good statistic, and how many of these 30% of people can patiently read the list of producers is even more difficult to say up.

Several martial arts gyms have agreed to send their outstanding disciples to their company to teach in person in the future, and there is no need for the programmers to go out to study by themselves, which is equivalent to saving the programmers a lot of travel time.

Of course this also requires an additional fee.

But now is the time to use money to save time, and Zhu Youxing will naturally not be stingy.

It's just a pity that the current motion capture technology is only barely usable, and the accuracy is not good at all. In terms of details, programmers still need to fine-tune the program one by one, otherwise Zhuyouxing would like to directly complete a set.

It is better to use 2D for the best action fighting games now, and consider real 3D motion capture action games after the industry is almost mature.

In this way, the fourth team spent almost a month in the development of Street Fighter to record various fighting data, including various popular fighting techniques around the world.

Back then, Street Fighter's hot sale probably also had such a hodgepodge of reasons.

People all over the world have similar ideas, and want to see who wins and who loses when different fighting skills from all over the world fight together.

After Hayazawa Airi helped contact the Budokan, he devoted himself to the development of the game console again, and Takeyusei began to review and check the games produced by the second, third, fourth and third teams one by one.

The second and third games are relatively simple, but they must not be careless. The expectation of Zhuyouxing is to be as perfect as possible, and it is almost impossible. Only in this way can it attract more players to the maximum.

At the same time, in the Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area of ​​the United States, Songqiao really moved people into a brand new office building.

At present, the overall size of the company in the United States is only a dozen people.

In the early stage, so many people are completely enough. Anyway, the United States is not the main area for game development, and the main development areas are still concentrated in Japan.

Minoru Matsuhashi fell jet lag for a short while, and immediately started to work, more devoted than others.

She cherishes this job very much, so she hopes to gain a firm foothold here no matter what.

Before the company's site selection was completed, she ran around looking for car manufacturers to cooperate with, but the replies she got were all NO.

These automakers have absolutely no regard for video games.

This is also normal, and the overall number of gamers in the United States is now only a few hundred thousand.

Su Rui Electronics is also working hard here, but the effect is not very good. According to Zhu Youxing, the games developed by Su Rui Electronics before are more biased towards Asia-Pacific culture, and Europeans and Americans will be relatively slow to accept it. .

Su Rui Electronics did not expect this before, so the game development did not shift the focus to Europe and the United States.

Now only racing games and basketball games are selling well.

However, because the average price of each game in the United States can be directly sold for more than 120 US dollars, the profit is seven or eight times higher, so only a few hundred thousand players still make a lot of money.

Some young people in the United States saw such a high profit margin and quickly invested in it.

Programmers in the United States are generally stronger. They easily attract many players with better game effects and make a lot of money.

From Zhuyouxing's point of view, the entire American region is actually a gold mine waiting to be tapped. The mere hundreds of thousands of players are not worthy of the total player base in the American region.

After the office location was basically settled, Matsuhashi immediately began to contact advertisers and major retailers in the United States non-stop.

In the United States, it is not as easy to sell products as in Japan. Because Japan is fighting in the local area, it must have more convenience.

If you want to sell foreign products in the United States, you need to negotiate with retailers.

The most important of these are naturally those sections that sell electronic products and children's toys.

In front of the headquarters of Woodson Department Store Co., Ltd., Minoru Matsuhashi sorted out his clothes, then took a deep breath and stepped into the headquarters of one of the American retail giants.

Matsuhashi walked to the front desk and politely said to the receptionist, "Hi, I'm here to see the sales manager David."

The front desk raised his head and said, "Do you have an appointment?"

Matsuhashi shook his head: "No, because I have contacted your company many times, but have not given a direct reply. Now we need to talk to your company about the sale of a new product immediately."

The person at the front desk said apologetically, "I'm sorry, ma'am, it may be that our company is approaching the end of the year and we are busy with business, so the middle and senior management don't have much time to spare. If you have products you want to sell, you can consider coming back after Christmas. "

"Then I just want to find your manager David, can't I?"

"Sorry ma'am, no, we can't be sure when you will see Manager David without an appointment."

Matsuhashi was a little reconciled, she said: "I am willing to wait, just give me two minutes to introduce our company's video game products to you, I believe you will be interested."

"Okay, ma'am, you can go to the tea room and wait."

The front desk raised his hand to indicate a room on the side of the hall that said tea room.

People who don't have an appointment usually just go there and wait.

However, people who generally enter the tea room basically stay there all day.

Especially in this day when Christmas is coming in two months, retail giants are often the busiest at this time.

Halloween promotions in November and Black Friday in December all need to be prepared in advance.

Songqiao also knew it in her heart, but she still had to try her luck.
