Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"Hey, have you been following dramas lately?"

"Chasing drama? What drama?"

"It's a drama about lawyers, and it's pretty good. In the TV drama, my favorite Xiaomura-san performed really well. He and the criminals are arguing in court. It's really cool to watch."

In the company, two employees were chatting about the TV series they were watching recently in their free time.

Chasing dramas in Japan is very popular among all people.

Even now that we have entered the 21st century, the influence of an excellent TV series is still astonishing.

Especially the Japanese seldom talk about the gossip of some people around them when socializing, let alone offend other people's private affairs casually.

So discussing TV dramas and sports games has become their favorite activity.

If there is a good drama on the market, it will inevitably arouse the repercussions of the whole society.

Zhu Youxing didn't care too much.

His interest in Japanese TV dramas is average, and he has only watched a few very popular ones, such as Tokyo Love Story and Lonely Gourmet.

At this moment, his mind is devoted to the new game plan.

He does have a lot of pretty mature video game blueprints in his brain.

But he still doesn't want to do it, or he doesn't want to do these games yet.

But if you don't do something, it will feel a little boring.

So Zhu Youxing thought about it and didn't think about what game to make next.

"Hello, President!"

"President!"

When the two employees who were discussing the episode saw Zhu Youxing approaching, they greeted Zhu Youxing with admiration.

"Oh, hello, work hard, thank you for your efforts."

Zhu Youxing also responded casually, and then once again devoted himself to the idea of ​​a new game.

This time he still wants to create something different.

How about making a business simulation game as well?

Or make a city building game like City Skyline?

This type of city-building game is still very marketable.

In the era of the original world, construction games have always had a very stable audience, just like real-time strategy games.

And this kind of game is played with patience. Sometimes it may take dozens of hours to play a game of this kind, and it is very easy to get addicted to it.

However, Zhu Youxing felt that the time was not yet ripe.

Developing this kind of construction game on a game console will cause operational difficulties, but this kind of game is more suitable for playing on a PC.

However, this kind of game can also be used as a bargaining chip. If there is any technical cooperation with Morgan Group in the future, this kind of game can be used as an exchange.

Then the construction game can be temporarily PASSed.

What is left to do?

"Hey, have you watched legal dramas recently?"

"You mean the NHK one? Of course I watched it! NHK has finally managed to produce a good modern drama after so many years. It's really rare. Our whole family likes this drama very much."

Zhu Youxing raised his head and saw a few people not far away were gathering together with coffee and discussing TV dramas.

Legal drama?

lawyer……

For some reason, an animated image suddenly appeared in Zhu Youxing's mind.

It was a man in a suit, with a hedgehog-like back hair, and from time to time he would put on some very exaggerated expressions.

Wright Dragon One.

This is the character's name.

And his profession is a defense lawyer, and the source of the character happens to be a game related to lawyers.

Sometimes the audience of a game can also be related to the social hot spots at that time.

If you happen to make a game that is very relevant to the current social hotspots, then you will receive extra attention, and at the same time, a game product will have a certain chance of being out of the circle.

In the game industry, going out of the circle generally represents the expansion of the audience.

Looking at the discussions of those people not far away, it is obvious that the legal drama they are discussing is indeed very attractive.

Then, why don't you just make this game called Ace Attorney by the way.

This is also a relatively new type of video game.

Ace Attorney, this is a game that plays an important role in text adventure games.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the sales volume of a text adventure game is basically only 200,000 to 300,000.

The main reason is that the audience for this type of game is really quite small.

But Ace Attorney has become the most dazzling star in the text adventure game.

Its original gameplay of solving crime puzzles through interrogation, as well as the ups and downs of the plot, have captured the hearts of players.

Even players who haven't played text adventure games in the past, as long as they have been in contact with Ace Attorney, basically they will not give bad reviews. At most, they just don't like to play this type of game.

In the text adventure game with a general sales volume of only a few hundred thousand, Ace Attorney can exceed one million, which proves that this series of works also has its own unique charm.

This million sales may not be comparable to Call of Duty, a game that often sells tens of millions of new year products.

But the smallness and beauty of this series can also bring huge profits.

Zhu Youxing thought of another thing at this time.

I made an agreement with the Japanese government before that I would try my best to produce several novels or games adapted from film and television dramas.

Of course, I just hope to do as much as possible, and I didn't force Zhu Youxing to do it.

But the Japanese government has given itself such a large piece of land anyway, and has been giving its own company a lot of tax incentives. It really doesn't make sense if it doesn't do something in return.

Anyway, by the way, Zhu Youxing felt that he could use the Ace Attorney series to complete the previous agreement with the Japanese government.

Well, let's just take this most popular legal drama as the target of adaptation.

Of course, it's just a name, what Ace Attorney should do or how to do it, the most is to add some linkage plots, which will not have much involvement with the original script.

However, just making a text adventure game doesn't feel like enough.

Ace Attorney itself has no technical difficulty, and the development will basically be smooth, so I can also develop other games at the same time.

By the way, if you don't want to make simulation construction games for the time being, just make a Sims life.

This series can be called a DLC maniac, but this game still has a large number of fans. They are very addicted to the virtual world of life, and it sells very well in the United States. Even if the price of DLC in the later stage is even higher than the game itself, They will also be willing to spend money.

This game is considered a good income-generating game, and its reputation is also very stable.

If the speed is faster, the development of the two games together may not take half a year, which can be regarded as a supplement of different types of games.
