Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

After the arrival of the new year, the development of the game is back on track, and a number of games have been planned on Zhuyouxing's desk.

Among them, Resident Evil is the main project in a short period of time, and at the same time other game development must also be taken into action.

The second development project that I need to pay attention to is the Pokémon series. The last one was the Pokémon Sapphire Emerald launched on the GBA.

This series also launched a three-part look.

The Pokémon series of the previous life was somewhat suspected of being too lazy to make progress in the end.

And Zhu Youxing doesn't want the Pokémon in this world to become like this, even if it is really for making money, he must make decent money.

Therefore, he slowed down the development cycle and added some gameplay and functions on the basis of the original Pokémon series as much as possible. Even if there is no innovation, it is always no problem to launch more Pokémon.

For most players, Pokémon is like a childhood dream, and the basic disk will not be shaken at all as long as it does not die.

GSL should also launch the next generation of the Pokémon series, which is the fourth generation of the Diamond and Pearl series.

GSL itself also has the characteristics of touch, and it can also improve the picture quality of Pokémon to another level.

This project will be handed over to the fourth development team to execute.

Zhu Youxing ticked off the paper, and then looked at the next plan.

The third project that needs my attention is the new Monster Hunter. With the experience of the first generation, the production of the second generation will be more mature, and the cost will be reduced a lot. I only need to supervise the quality of the final game That's fine, no problem.

The development of the previous game took more than a thousand people, but this time a team plus a motion capture team of about 400 people is basically enough. The development cycle can be slightly longer, one and a half to two years .

Then, there is the fourth development plan, which is more tangled.

Zhu Youxing wants to develop the Three Kingdoms Warriors series.

This is also a fairly classic IP, and the popularity is always high. There are many people who like to experience the world of the Three Kingdoms. It can even be said bluntly that it is because of the appearance of the Three Kingdoms that the world understands the history of the Three Kingdoms of China.

It's just... now there is a small problem.

That is, many histories of the Three Kingdoms in this world are different from the allusions in the parallel world of Zhu Youxing's previous life...

This may be the reason for the different development directions of the parallel world. In this world, the main line of development of the Three Kingdoms has not changed, but the names of the characters are different, and they are also different from the characters Zhu Youxing was familiar with in his previous life. In this world, The Three Kingdoms of China did not have Liu Guanzhang, nor Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo and others.

In fact, it is not just the history of the Three Kingdoms in this world, but the trajectory of many ancient histories in this world is quite similar, but the characters are different.

It was not until modern times that some major events seemed to be back on track, and the characters at some key historical nodes did not change much.

This made Zhu Youxing somewhat tangled.

In fact, he still really wants to reproduce the whole picture of the original Three Kingdoms Warriors.

But the names of the characters are different, and his desire to make Three Kingdoms Warriors has weakened a lot.

Zhu Youxing is a very nostalgic person, even if the name of the character changes, he doesn't want to make it.

But the series of Three Kingdoms Warriors is not reconciled and a bit unwilling, so Zhuyou Xing got stuck here and has not started to develop it.

Otherwise, Zhu Youxing would have already started preparing to make Dynasty Warriors. This is also one of his own childhood memories. It felt really good to play at home with his dad who also loves to play games, one person and one controller for a whole night.

After taking a look at the plan, Zhu Youxing finally shook his head and decided to let it go temporarily.

This is Zhu Youxing's own heart knot, maybe at some point he will untie it by himself, and then he can start to do it.

Of course, Zhuyouxing is not unable to make other types of unparalleled games, such as unparalleled products derived from IP, such as Pirate Warriors, Zelda Warriors, etc., but finally decided to give up after thinking about it.

After putting this plan aside, Zhu Youxing felt that only three plans were not enough.

Now is the critical moment of competition, and we still have to come up with a few more works that can be sold. There are still quite a few well-known works, so... how about starting to make Half-Life and the GTA series?

This can be done, but the development of such a very pure European and American game based on the Japanese cultural foundation may be unacceptable.

Instead, it can be considered to expand the number of overseas game production studios to prepare for future large-scale productions.

However, GTA and Half-Life also have an extraordinary status in Zhu Youxing's mind. He still wants to wait a little longer, and he wants to wait for his team to be more experienced, and then let these two series debut. peak.

The current strength of the team still does not meet the standards in Zhu Youxing's mind.

If it doesn't work, Final Fantasy 9 can also be produced, but 9 is not that famous in the whole series. The development of this sequel is just to fill the regret in his heart. Compared with 9, he wants to make Final Fantasy 10 more.

It's just that Final Fantasy 8 hasn't been released yet, so it's too early to think about a sequel, and if you do it too quickly, the quality of the work will decline, or wait.

Dragon Quest also has a similar problem now, and this one has already reached the ninth generation, and the popularity of Dragon Quest is slowly weakening, because the gameplay itself is now relatively classical, and current players prefer fresh Exciting game content.

This is a historical law and cannot be influenced by manpower.

Forget it, there is still a long time after I can't think about it all day, and now my advantage has been maintained, and the pressure is not too great.

Zhu Youxing put his planning aside casually, and then began to check the latest data information and the executive letters sent to him.

The data information is all about game sales performance, copyright development authorization fees, and sales data of game consoles.

Under the insistence of Zhuyouxing, even though SFC has been discontinued, FC still keeps two production lines for continuous production. However, with the rapid development of technology, FC game consoles can now be made very compact and can Save more games through the new FC cassette, and even let the new FC models have a save function.

Even in this case, the production, packaging, transportation and sales costs of FC game consoles are not more than 1,000 yen per unit, which is the core of the game popularization strategy that Zhuyouxing has always insisted on.

Because it is cheap enough, FC has been selling well all over the world. No one will refuse a cheap and interesting thing.

Especially in low-income countries and regions, such cheap game consoles are more popular.

Up to now, the sales volume of FC has exceeded 300 million units. This figure is simply scary. Even in the record of his previous life, game consoles did not exceed 200 million. His own FC has already sold 300 million units. Forcing FC to continue its life, even if it has been almost unprofitable until now, Zhuyouxing still insists on selling it. If this is the case, ordinary companies would have given up this outdated product long ago.

But whenever Zhu Youxing sees players in some low-income areas playing FC happily on the Internet from time to time, he feels that it is worthwhile to persist in doing this. Games should not be high-consumption things, but Inexpensive products that everyone can experience.

The sales data of FC is afraid that even Yuxing Electronic Entertainment itself can't break it. FC game console will become a very important stroke in the game industry.

Other manufacturers may feel disgusted when they see the sales of FC. How can they play this?

Then, Zhu Youxing glanced at the sales data of the game again, and then his eyes stayed on a set of data.

Game sales data in Europe.
