Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"Zhuyou, what you mean is that you want to use movie special effects to show some game plots in the future, but will this be too different from the game itself? Will it easily bring a sense of gap to the players?"

Listening to Zhu Youxing's narration of the whole process, Tsukino Aya also raised her own doubts.

So far, Zhu Youxing is only optimistic about this field of special effects.

Most of the cutscenes added in the current games are 2D animations similar to cartoons.

Such cartoons will be easier to integrate with the game itself.

If you impose a cutscene with good special effects, it will still feel a bit inconsistent.

Zhu Youxing smiled and said: "I'm not preparing for the current game, I'm preparing for the future game. By the way, you should have seen the final fantasy 7 plan I released on the company's internal network before, right?"

Tsukino Aya recalled and nodded: "I have seen it, you plan to use a full 3D engine to produce this generation of games, do you plan to use special effects for this?"

"That's right, my idea is that in 3D games, it is necessary to use newer and more advanced technologies. Special effects and animations with better pictures are very necessary, while 2D games, of course, continue to use 2D animations."

Tsukino Aya nodded, she seemed to be able to roughly imagine what kind of state she was in.

The final fantasy 7 project released on the internal network is the work with the most planned content so far by Zhuyouxing.

The number of participants is estimated to be as many as 300, and at least three game development teams are required to work together.

Then some highly repetitive tasks need to be outsourced to save time.

Then there are music production people who need more than ten people, etc...

In all aspects, Zhuyouxing has almost stretched all imaginable configurations to the current limit.

Up to now, most of the games produced by the companies are still under the scale of 100 people. No one has thought about such a thing as a large-scale production game, and Zhu Youxing is the one who plans to eat crabs again.

Tell those companies who want to make games and are rich.

You guys want something big like a movie and make a lot of money? No problem, video games can also satisfy your desires, so please join us and let's develop the field of video games together.

In the development plan of Final Fantasy 7, the special effects team is also included. Zhu Youxing's request is to dispatch all members, and the special effects team in the United States will fully assist in the production of Final Fantasy 7.

The development budget alone has prepared 200 million US dollars. This is the entire development budget of the game, and of course it also includes promotional costs.

Now two development teams have entered the preparatory work, waiting for other staff to join in one after another, and then the game development will be on the right track.

All the game development of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment before can be regarded as small and big.

Because of Zhuyouxing's very foresighted mind, game development can save a lot of time and avoid many detours. Zhuyouxing knows how to do it the best, and will not encounter any major troubles.

But this time, it seems that they really want to get a big one, 200 million U.S. dollars, which is almost one-fifth of the reserve funds of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and all of them are invested in a game, which is a kind of gambling mentality.

200 million US dollars is more than the cost of Final Fantasy 10 in the original world, and Zhuyouxing's ambition is to truly make a game close to Final Fantasy 10 or even a higher level, so that the world can truly see the charm of the game .

For this reason, Zhuyouxing also deliberately raised the performance of the GS1 game console itself to a higher level.

It is estimated that the game console itself will not make much money this time, and it will not double the profit as in the past, but as long as the game can continue to make money, it will make money. Game consoles are only carriers after all. Machines can be sold more, and a certain degree of loss-making sales is required. The purpose is to expand the number of users and let more people spend money to buy games.

Tsukino Aya obviously still can't understand why Zhu Youxing suddenly invested so much labor costs in a short time.

Judging from the current state of game development, it is still possible to continue to make games with small and large scales, but from the player's point of view, it is definitely better to be able to play more enjoyable games.

"Okay, you can also help me during this time. The film and television company asked us to produce a one-minute sample within three days to see how our results are. If the results are really good, they will use our technology. , to provide data for us to make game special effects in the future.”

Zhu Youxing clapped his hands, making other employees start to act too.

Everyone immediately got into work, Tsukino Aya also temporarily suppressed the new idea in her mind, and followed Zhu Youxing to create a one-minute film and television special effect.

Three days later, in a temporary studio eight or nine kilometers away from Zhu Youxing's office, some film and television crews were chatting idly.

They just finished a day of filming.

Xinghai Unlimited is an ambitious work of their film and television company, and they want to enter the upper-level film and television circle through this series of films.

But the embarrassing thing is that there is not much money.

Fortunately, a new company suddenly appeared willing to help produce special effects at a lower price. They simply asked the other party to make a one-minute trial clip to see the effect. .

The assistant director said: "What level of special effects do you think the new company will produce?"

The director shook his head: "I don't think it's good. Now we all know that special effects are very expensive. They are willing to use very low prices to make special effects. How can it be better?"

"But I heard that it is a very famous game company, and they guaranteed with the senior management of the film and television company that they can produce qualified special effects."

The director said helplessly: "Those high-level executives are not professional. They only think they can save money. This is a waste of time. I am actually worried whether they can make a one-minute special effect in three days. If they can't finish it , just enough to refuse their cooperation."

Just then, a crew member hurried over.

"Director, a car came outside. They claimed to be from Youxing Special Effects Studio."

"Huh?" The director was taken aback.

Just after he finished speaking, this person came?

The special effects were really produced within three days. The efficiency is not bad, but it is hard to say whether it can pass.

"Let's go and see."

The other party has already arrived, so the director naturally needs to greet him. This is still a basic courtesy.
