Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Later in this parallel world, 2007 was hailed as the starting time of the smartphone industry.

And 2008 is known as the time period for smartphones to compete for hegemony.

All kinds of smart phones are springing up like mushrooms after rain, which is simply unstoppable.

In 2008, it seems that any small company is full of ambitions to make smart phones, intending to get a piece of this chaotic market.

This is somewhat comparable to the video game industry in the mid-1990s.

In contrast, video games have declined somewhat.

Or to be precise, there is a decline in video games on individual handheld game consoles and home consoles.

Especially at the beginning of 2008, video games fell into a slump.

"The most popular thing now should be the smartphone industry. What we should do is to invest more money in the smartphone business instead of video games!"

Many investors have been very fond of investing in video games before.

Because it can indeed make a lot of money.

But this year is different. This year, more hot money is invested in the smartphone market, and the investment share that video games can get will decrease rapidly. It used to be a bit rich and powerful, and the game team can be counted on the scale of 100 people at every turn. , The game production cost can be produced in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Su Rui Electronics also had two video game works with an investment of over 100 million U.S. dollars last year.

As of today, one of them is barely paying back, and the other is making a small fortune.

This small profit is the "Sun Knight" that took the game of the year

Although there is no loss, but for capital, this is tantamount to a loss.

All they want is to make a lot of money.

Now that video games obviously can't make a lot of money, and looking at the other side, smartphones seem to be booming, so any fool knows what to choose.

Surui Electronics' video game business unit inevitably fell into a disadvantage in this competition.

At that time, the importance rating of the game business department of Surui Electronics was declining rapidly, followed by the overall decline in the salaries of employees in the department.

This is indeed quite disappointing.

As the top player in the video game industry, Youxing Electronic Entertainment did not seem to be having a good time at the beginning of this year.

The announcement of several works did cause a heated discussion, but it didn't last long, because game development still needs time, and before it was released, it could only let the heat be attracted by other products.

Mickford can be said to be the hottest company at the moment, and Myron Case, who was once regarded as a bereaved dog, has once again become the object of countless people's attention.

He is also known as the first successful entrepreneur of the 21st century.

Everyone follows his example.

The smart phone MK2 is also a big seller, welcomed by countless people, and even caused a fashion trend, which is really unimaginable.

Myron Keith was very satisfied with the results of this series of results.

That's what he wanted to see.

Everything he ever predicted has come true.

This proved that his previous judgments were all correct.

No one will underestimate his judgment anymore!

He believed so firmly.

Then he glanced at the sales results of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the first quarter of 2008, which he obtained from the grapevine.

The whole is not as good as before, and he can't help smiling.

The enemy who was once his biggest headache is also declining.

Let me just say that the video game industry should not be so hot, it seems that this is just a flash in the pan after all.

What people really like is high-tech, or something that looks more fashionable, and video games now feel like they can declare that they can go to the grave.

The new era will be his.

However, there are also some good products in video games, such as Tetris, which is one of the few video games he recognizes.

But he did not admit that he really recognized the existence of video games, but separated Tetris from video games.

I just like this work, not the game itself.

It's just a pity that this work I like cannot be logged into MK2.

Wait... Maybe at this time, you can consider logging this work on your mobile phone?

He gradually conceived some ideas in his mind.

Then, he picked up the phone, ready to do something.

...

In the Tokyo headquarters of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, Zhuyouxing participated in the development of the game as usual.

This time there are three main games, Bayonetta, Nier Automata and Final Fantasy Crisis Core.

These three games are excellent works that require a lot of effort.

The game development of other departments is also going on, but those games Zhuyouxing can rest assured to let his subordinates do it.

Mario's derivative works, Wario Manufacturing, and Luigi's Haunted House, as long as there is a mature framework, you can let your hands do it.

Zhu Youxing even encourages them to use their imagination as much as possible, even if it is a loss, he can afford it now, as long as it can stimulate the creativity of employees.

The production of Monster Hunter World is now coming to an end, and Zhu Yuxing does not need to pay too much attention, he just needs to release it step by step, and his work is over.

The release of Monster Hunter World is also scheduled after the Star Carnival.

"Zack must die. This is something that can't be helped, and it's an unchangeable ending."

"Meixiang, can Bayonetta make it more sexy? I want her movements to be more gorgeous and elegant."

"2*B can also be made a little bit sexy. This is not pure kitsch, it can be regarded as a kind of catering to the market, and it is also a kind of high demand for design. This is why I firmly believe that only women know beautiful women best. How to create it."

Zhu Youxing is running around in three game development departments. Even though he is in his thirties, he still seems to have boundless energy and never gets tired.

It seems that the only BUG-level perk that is full of energy can continue to be maintained.

Some employees even found that Zhuyouxing seemed to be able to rest for several days and nights sometimes. The employees have long been accustomed to this, but this does not mean that they are not worried, so they will take the initiative to make some supplements at home from time to time Bring it to the company, and then give it to your president for a supplement.

It's not flattery, but pure concern. In their hearts, Zhu Youxing is not only the president, but also a very friendly leader. They are very happy to see this leader lead them for a long time matter.

In case the leader dies suddenly, it is not impossible for Youxing Electronic Entertainment to collapse in an instant.

Therefore, Zhu Youxing enjoys the treatment that ordinary company bosses can't enjoy: the collective care of the employees, and he is afraid that his current president, Zhu Youxing, will have any accidents.

And when Zhu Youxing was busy, his daily assistant suddenly came to him. Generally speaking, when Zhu Youxing focused on game development, the assistant would not disturb too much.

But if you really come to bother, it means something more important or unexpected.

"President, someone proposed to buy the IP of one of our game works"

"Buy IP? Who?"

"The other party didn't say anything, they just said they were willing to buy it with 100 million U.S. dollars."

"What game?"

"Tetris."
