Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

The mainline process of Final Fantasy 7 is about ten to twenty hours, of course, the text dialogue time should be excluded.

This is not too long in the main line process in previous role-playing games.

But if you do some side quests and play some small games, a role-playing game can be played patiently for sixty or seventy hours.

This is now considered the standard length for an RPG.

In the past, some game companies wanted to increase the overall duration of the plot, but the final results were not very good. Many comments thought that such a long story made people feel sleepy.

However, the real reason is not that the main line of the game is too long, but that the content is too repetitive.

Those developers who want to deliberately lengthen the game time can't find more elements to add in a short time, they just simply increase the repetitive content of the game itself.

But this time Zhuyouxing wants to open up the whole world view.

GS1 is the door to a new era, and Zhu Yuxing hopes that Final Fantasy 7 can be that key.

In the face of Uesugi Yuki's question, Zhu Yuxing directly answered one and not enough, which made everyone stunned.

The gameplay, world map size, content, plot, etc. proposed by Zhu Youxing in the project proposal have all directly improved a dimension, which was not dared to think about in the past.

And they just imagined that the cost of such a game development would not be low. The labor cost of a team of 400 to 500 people is not a small number, let alone other resources. This is somewhat tantamount to a gamble.

In the past, the development of games has always been controlled within a certain range. Generally, the investment of a game is less than five million US dollars, and only a few of the top series games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment have reached tens of millions of dollars in development costs.

This also makes many people in the industry always think that game development is of this magnitude, and the cost investment will not be too exaggerated.

Although it is not that no one has thought about such things as large investment and large return, no one dares to be the first person to eat crabs, because the cost is a bit high, and once the large investment cannot recover the cost, the entire company may be dragged down immediately collapse.

Moreover, there are not many companies that are capable of making large investments to produce games. They are still in the exploration stage, so they are naturally more cautious in terms of capital investment.

The bigger the company, the less likely it is to take risks easily.

In the film and television industry, it is not uncommon for a film and television company to go bankrupt directly because of a large investment film.

What's more, the video game industry is still a completely fledgling field.

"President, isn't that enough? Then we can make the game even bigger in the future?"

"That's right, this is just a tentative start. I have already prepared 100 million US dollars for the investment in this game, and I will have at least 50 million spare funds at any time."

This is a verification of his company's game industry system. After so many years of experience, Zhu Youxing believes that his company still has the strength and can definitely develop a good enough game. Now it is only a chance, and Final Fantasy 7 is like this a chance.

The initial investment of 100 million US dollars really surprised everyone. This directly stretched the upper limit of the previous game development cost to ten times. It sounds like gambling.

At this moment, Tsukino Aya came to the conference room at some point, and sat alone in the corner of the conference room, listening to Zhu Youxing draw a big cake there.

When she heard Zhu Youxing mention the development investment, she was also a little surprised, but soon she also showed a look of longing.

With such capital investment, the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized will also be unimaginable. If it is really successful, this will definitely be an opportunity to detonate the industry.

It's a pity that she doesn't have that much money, and she doesn't have that much manpower and material resources to drive, otherwise she really wants to be the first person to eat crabs.

In Zhu Youxing's view, the investment of this 100 million yuan Academy of Fine Arts is actually nothing more than a small scene.

Which of the large-scale 3A games of later generations is not an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Big investment will bring big return, but the risk is also extremely high.

However, with the mature game model of the predecessors, the risk Zhu Youxing took is naturally infinitely reduced.

Even if it really loses, 100 million US dollars is still affordable. Now the company has 7.8 billion US dollars in reserve funds, and it will be no problem to burn three or four games of this scale. Dare to have a good time.

Yuki Uesugi obviously wanted to say something, Zhu Yuxing raised his hand and interrupted the other party: "I know what you want to say, I will answer you directly, I can afford the money, and the company will not have any problems because of it , you just give full play to your creativity, now you only need to worry about your lack of creativity, and you don’t have to think about other issues.”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youxing looked at everyone solemnly, with sincere eyes.

"In the past, we were limited by the capacity of game cartridges and the performance of game consoles, which prevented us from making better games. This has always been a regret of mine, so this time, I think it should be possible. Try to expand, and at the same time prove our company's development strength, in the past, we have been leading the industry, this time the new era is coming, I also hope the same."

Leading the industry again, this is very ambitious.

But Zhu Youxing did have the confidence to say such things.

Because he has been leading the development of the industry in the past.

Uesugi Yuki didn't say anything, and the other two also remained silent.

But there was excitement in their eyes.

It was the excitement of finally being able to give it my all.

Now that the president has said so, the only thing they can do is to make the content of the request the best.

On the one hand, this meeting is to issue general tasks to everyone, and on the other hand, it is actually equivalent to a mobilization meeting.

Mobilize everyone to join in this gamble.

If successful, these participants will also receive huge benefits, a substantial increase in game development experience, and an increase in reputation.

The leaders of the three major game development teams will inevitably become more famous, and their status in the industry will also rise accordingly.

Especially Yuhe, he just became the head of the development team not long ago, and this game development may make him a blockbuster.

The only regret is that this is not the game development he led alone, otherwise his fame and status should be even higher in the future.
