Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

The chairman of the Cultural Industry Promotion Committee was very happy.

Because finally there is a cooperative project willing to stand up and promote IP.

This is the first one, so he pays special attention to it.

On the same day, he immediately contacted the people from NHK TV station and briefly talked about the matter.

The producer who was in charge of this legal drama in NHK felt nothing after hearing it.

It's just a derivative game. Video games were not their development direction before, and they didn't make any money in video games. So it's actually a very good result to hand over the game to a manufacturer with sufficient strength.

It's just that he didn't feel comfortable with the brand-new scripts proposed by the chairman with full copyright of the game and completely unrelated to their TV series.

It's as if the other party completely despises the TV series that he has worked so hard to produce.

Anyway, this is now considered a popular national drama, and the ratings are about to rise to the first place by leaps and bounds, and then the party that made the game showed that they don't care about this drama, which is quite uncomfortable.

But this can be regarded as a policy promoted by the government. Anyway, NHK doesn't care about the small benefits after the adaptation, so it just agreed to it for the sake of the government.

Of course, I can't make too much concessions. It's not too much to ask for a share of the copyright share, right? Otherwise, it’s a little inappropriate to give it for nothing. It’s okay to share a 35% copyright share, and they want to read the game script before making the game, so as not to make the game script plot too It's too outrageous, and the style of their legal drama is too different, so it's not suitable.

The president readily agreed.

The other party's request was very reasonable, even if Zhu Youxing didn't want to give a share, their government can still pay this sum of money, this sum of money is still not lacking, it is considered as a benefit for the first one to eat crabs.

It's okay to ask for the game script, anyway, the game will be produced sooner or later, there is no need to hide this thing, and it is impossible for NHK to leak this thing in advance.

The producer really didn't care too much about these, he is now focusing more on the production of this drama.

Now this drama is reaching a critical period, the protagonist and the villain in the story are undergoing fierce court defense, vowing to separate you and me to death, this story must be handled very carefully, the adaptation of a TV series to a game cannot be wasted He has too much energy.

After negotiating with NHK, the chairman contacted Zhu Youxing again.

Zhu Youxing has no objection to the two requests from NHK. The other party just wants a little copyright share, and he doesn't care about this amount of money at all.

At the beginning, the game of Ace Attorney relied entirely on word of mouth, but if there is a popular national drama in this world as a gimmick, it will definitely attract more players into the pit, and the copyright share can be equivalent to the publicity cost.

If you get the copyright share, then you can't just do nothing. You can add a few seconds of advertisement at the end of your episode to preview the game and attract traffic from Zhuyouxing.

There is also the matter of the script, which can be done first. The specific details of the script defense can be arranged slowly, but the main story of Zhu Youxing can be started directly now, and the other party can do it earlier if necessary.

Then, Zhuyouxing began to arrange some members of its development team to participate in several public court defenses.

If you want to make a good game, especially one with a modern background, it is very important to experience the environment similar to the game background.

This is the same as when Zhu Yuxing asked employees to participate in Budokan training in order to provide assistance for the production of Street Fighter.

After arranging some employees, Zhu Youxing began to conceive the outline of the script with the screenwriter of the group.

The main story line of the first part of Ace Attorney is a little bit fantasy, and it also involves ghost psychics. This was also to attract players' attention at the beginning.

If it was just a text story about lawyers arguing at the beginning, the player's interest would be greatly reduced.

It received more attention after adding a little fantasy color.

After the second part, it became closer to reality.

At the same time, because this series is very representative in text adventure games, Capcom, the producer of this game in the later stage, came to reset it almost every two or three years, which can be regarded as a model of low cost and high return.

The first part also added a lot of plots after multiple resets, paving the way for the subsequent second and third main storylines.

Ace Attorney certainly did not expect it to be so popular when it was first produced, so I did not consider launching the second part. But later, because the results were quite good and the rate of return was extremely high, the follow-up story gradually unfolded. The first part Also re-plan the new plot, and then stir up a wave of cold rice by the way.

The king of cold rice has basically been firmly established after two thousand years.

However, no matter how many times Ace Attorney makes a fuss, the sales are still very good. There are always enthusiastic fans who are willing to buy again and again, which is very magical.

Perhaps it is because the plot and gameplay of this text adventure story are really fascinating.

Even if it takes more than ten years, the gameplay will never become outdated.

It can also be seen from the side that Capcom really has two brushes.

The ups and downs of arranging a courtroom debate that should have been boring.

The defense lawyer Cheng Butang, played by the player, discovers the key contradictions of the case from various false testimony through ingenious reasoning, and finally finds out the real murderer of each case continuously.

In the end, the most iconic line in the game: "One catty of duck pears! (Dissent)" has become one of the most popular memes in the game industry.

Zhuyouxing must keep these features. At the same time, if possible, Zhuyouxing also hopes to dig out the puzzle-solving ingenuity of the buttons to a greater extent.

This has to rely on the efforts of the screenwriter and puzzle designers in the development team.

"Huh? Tsukino Aya why are you here?"

At this time, Zhu Youxing was discussing the advancement of the plot and the foreshadowing with the screenwriter, and Tsukino Aya suddenly came to the office.

Recently, her main job is to solve all the company's computer technical problems, and she can go wherever she needs it, but now there seems to be no technical problems here.

"I heard that you are developing a reasoning game, so I want to take a look."

Tsukino Aya's expression was as calm as ever, but there was curiosity in her eyes.

In fact, she can be regarded as a fan of reasoning. This is the first time that she has created a reasoning game in a game. Aya Tsukino really wants to see with her own eyes how this kind of game is created.

Of course, she felt that she might not be able to make this kind of game, because she is not good at conceiving puzzles, and she prefers to express the game's picture quality and technical skills in gameplay.

"Then take a look at the side, it just happens that there will be something you can help with later."
