Now the game developers in this world seem to have really entered a strange circle.

If it wasn't for Yue Yecai's sudden mention of this matter, Zhu Youxing really didn't notice it too much.

This is not just an annoyance for the three girls.

It's not entirely because the three of them are a little ambitious.

Part of the reason is that the current general environment is also a bit towards the trend of touting big productions.

However, this is actually unreasonable.

A truly benign cultural and entertainment industry is that no matter whether it is a large-scale production or a small-cost independent production, there is an audience.

Especially independent production, in the entire industry, it can sit on an equal footing with large-scale industrialized games. Independent games are not much worse than large-scale production games, and independent games also have their own meaning.

In the film industry, there is such a very benign system.

First, some little-known directors try some directions that big productions have never tried before, and then conduct low-cost trial and error, and once independent films have achieved breakthrough results in a certain direction, big production films will follow. Then, dig deeper in this aspect.

In this way, small-cost independent films have a chance to shine, and high-cost films can also try and make mistakes with a very small cost to find a film and television production direction with a greater chance of success.

In this way, a very benign complementarity can be formed between independent films and big-budget films.

This system is also applicable to the video game industry.

Big-budget games cannot be easily risked, because hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake.

It is impossible for any capital to accept hundreds of millions of dollars in vain.

So independent games go first, and after exploring a successful path, let big production games expand. This is a very good direction.

However, the world is different.

The soil of independent games in this world is very shallow, and it can even be said that there is almost no.

Zhuyouxing has tried to encourage individuals to develop games several times before, and has also conducted several game development themed competitions.

But these have little effect. Most people will choose to join a game company directly after they have a certain game development foundation, participate in large-scale production games, and become a screw in large-scale production games.

Zhu Youxing appeared to be thinking very seriously for more than ten minutes, while Tsukino Cai patiently watched Zhu Youxing waiting for his answer.

Tsukino Aya knows Zhu Youxing very well. When he is thinking seriously, he doesn't need to disturb him. He just needs to wait silently. He must be thinking intensely in his brain now, and what he is thinking is probably not just asking questions for himself. The question is so simple, Zhu Youxing obviously thought of other things through what he said about the distress of the three girls.

"color."

"Um?"

"It seems like... I'm taking game development in this world in a direction that I don't particularly want to see."

Tsukino Aya was taken aback.

She didn't realize what Zhu Youxing was saying for a moment.

Zhu Youxing murmured: "This world seems to lack the soil for independent game development. This is actually a bit deformed and unreasonable."

Aya Tsukino said with some incomprehension: "Why? Isn't the game industry thriving now?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "That's true, but..."

But this is based on the fact that it continues to lead the industry.

Practitioners in the game industry in this world regard themselves as a benchmark, thinking that it is enough to learn from themselves, and just follow the path that Zhu Youxing has already stepped forward.

Zhu Youxing has truly become the godfather of the video game industry.

However, this also caused many people to look at him, and only look at Zhu Youxing.

Naturally, this brought Zhu Youxing an unparalleled influence. In the video game industry, he has the highest voice. People regard everything he said as the bible.

The light on his body was so dazzling that everyone ignored the occasional small spots of light under the light.

But after all, I am only a human being, and I am not a real god.

His strength is limited, and now he can continue to innovate, but when his inspiration is also exhausted, those who have been watching him may suddenly fall into a state of confusion.

At that time, Zhu Youxing even felt that the entire industry would bring about considerable turmoil.

This is not an exaggeration, it is very likely to happen.

The most successful people are also gradually declining. Does that indicate that the game industry will also come to an end? So this is the end of the industry's development potential?

Perhaps when I can't surpass myself again and again, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil no less than the collapse of Atari in my previous life.

Of course, this possibility is actually very low. Zhu Youxing, who has decades of experience in game development in his previous life, may not be able to present all the high-quality games in his previous life to the world in this life. He shouldn't need to worry. These things.

However, it is still not good for the entire industry, and we must find a way to change it.

At this time, Zhu Youxing finally came back to his senses, and looked at Tsukino Cai who had been watching him silently. At this time, Zhu Youxing suddenly felt a very touching emotion in his heart, which was a very rare emotion after coming to this world. There was a slight urge to do something, but he quickly suppressed his thoughts about the game.

"A Cai, just like what I said just now, the game industry shouldn't develop like this. We should find a way to let independent games have a certain right to speak."

Zhu Youxing's first thought was to use his fame to encourage more game developers to develop independent games.

But that’s not enough, it’s just encouragement, it’s like luck, hoping that a super genius will suddenly emerge from the indie game circle and develop a blockbuster super indie game.

If Zhu Youxing did this, he might as well spend his own money to buy lottery tickets.

Hearing Zhu Youxing's words, Tsukino Aya just asked indifferently: "What do you want to do?"

"I think..." Zhu Youxing's eyes sparkled, "I don't need to develop a game with my own name, and I only use my own strength to develop it, without relying on anyone, just like when I created the FC game console at the beginning. It will be the same, all the game development will be done by myself.”

From music, to art, to programming, level design, and gameplay design, Zhuyouxing participated in the whole process, and produced an independent game that only he participated in.

And this kind of blockbuster top independent game Zhuyouxing developed by one person has already thought of one, and it should be very suitable for this world at the moment.

In his brain, a simple 2D character, a hoe, and a picture of a letter appeared in his mind.

The name of this game is: Stardew Valley.
