"Let's be more specific!" Hayakawa Ueto was getting impatient.

A game director immediately said: "Youxing Electronic Entertainment has a very high status in the hearts of players. Players are very patient with any game produced by Youxing Electronic Entertainment from the very beginning. Many players play only Even if the wolf game is persuaded to leave at the beginning, out of trust in Youxing Electronic Entertainment, I will still try to play it for a while, but we..."

Ueto Hayakawa understood: "I understand, except for Youxing Electronic Entertainment, other game companies do not have such a status. If we develop a game like Sekiro, I am afraid that we will only lose money."

"Yes... yes, unless..."

"Unless what? Don't waste my time here."

"Unless there are more games of this type, at least a group of players who really like this type can be cultivated, and then we can develop this type of game in the future, so that it is possible to make money."

Ueto Hayakawa found it very funny.

In the past, once each game type was created, players would welcome it with high hands, and then other game companies could follow suit immediately, gaining the support of many players in a short period of time.

But this time it seems to be different.

Ueto Hayakawa said: "Are you sure? Why do you think that if we make such a game now, it will not be popular? Now that Sekiro has sold a lot of games, there should be some players who will welcome this type of game." right?"

"Well... now there is only one game of this type, Wolf, and we all feel that there are too few reference standards. Unless Zhu Youxing is willing to pass on the standard template for this type of game development, otherwise we will develop this type of game I’m afraid there will be many detours, and in my opinion, if there are detours, this type of game will definitely be hated by players.”

Ueto Hayakawa took a deep breath: "I understand, so this type of game can only be monopolized by Youxing Electronic Entertainment now?"

"I'm afraid that's the case, but I think other game companies may try. After all, they don't necessarily have the same idea as us. They just saw that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has made good profits in developing this kind of game, so they want to imitate it. We may also be able to see how other people step on the pit in the process."

After the person in charge finished speaking, another person in charge of the game development department immediately added: "In short, President, it is very unwise for us to develop this type of game now."

"Well... that's the only way to go."

Ueto Hayakawa was also a little helpless.

The sudden popularity of the Sekiro game really surprised him.

It’s okay to say that open-world games like Ghost of Tsushima are huge hits. He understands the reason for the big sales. It’s nothing more than the perfect world construction, high degree of freedom, and excellent graphics. These are enough to capture players. up.

But without the explanations from the heads of these departments, he wouldn't even know what makes Sekiro so fun.

And now he can't even imitate it.

But since my own team can't guarantee that I can make money in this genre through imitation, it may be even more difficult for other game companies to make money.

In this way, he seems to be able to balance his mind.

Anyway, it is still in the stage of forming an alliance with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Wait... an alliance?

Can I use the alliance to ask Youxing Electronic Entertainment to share the development experience of the next wolf?

Well, this matter is of great execution value, so go back and study it.

Sekiro continues to sell well.

Two or three weeks happened to be the time when the popularity of Ghost of Tsushima passed, and then Sekiro suddenly returned to the carbine, which caught many game practitioners by surprise.

Some game companies originally planned to release games in a staggered peak, to avoid direct competition with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, so as not to greatly reduce the sales of their games.

After waiting for more than two weeks, they all felt that the popularity of Youxing Electronic Entertainment should have passed.

But the wolf suddenly became angry again, which is simply incomprehensible.

Among them, many game companies complained directly because of the popularity of Sekiro.

And the most painful should be Mike Fu's game development team.

They have also just developed a few decent games. Seeing that Youxing Electronic Entertainment released two games, they decided to release them two weeks later.

All kinds of promotions have been done, the game is already on the shelves, just waiting for drastic work, waiting for the game to sell well.

Many players are also interested in the game launched by Mickford this time.

But in the blink of an eye, Sekiro's sudden popularity has greatly reduced the sales of Mickford's games.

The average expected sales volume of several games was around one million before, and now we can only expect the average sales volume to reach 500,000 before Christmas, which is directly discounted in half.

Myron Keith is naturally the most troublesome.

After spending so much money to give up the equity, and being stabbed in the back by Youxing Electronic Entertainment's video game, it's really uncomfortable.

But Myron Keys is not giving up.

The average sales volume of 500,000 is 500,000 sales. People always have to look forward.

Seeing the sudden popularity of Wolf, Myron Keith decisively asked one of his game development teams to develop such a game. He asked the people in this team to play this game for an average of more than 100 hours, and then study it carefully How to make a similar game and seize a new type of market.

At the same time, Brown Entertainment also followed up the development.

This game company has always been watching how Youxing Electronic Entertainment develops, and they will develop accordingly.

And this model of imitating and developing closely followed the footsteps did allow Brown Entertainment to make some money. The online role-playing game "Dragon Treasure" developed by themselves is even a popular online game at present, and it has become a cash cow for Brown Entertainment's income, so They are not afraid of failure.

The end of 2013 was also spent under the chaos of two games, Tsushima and Sekiro, and the new year came quietly.

And just as the new year came, Zhu Youxing received a piece of good news.

The Yuxing Paradise project has been approved by the Japanese government, and they directly gave Zhuyouxing the land originally planned for the development of foreign amusement parks.

Of course, land requires money, but the tax for the first five years will be completely reduced, and the tax will be halved in the next ten years, and then appropriate reductions will be made according to the situation.

This is not over yet. After the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's struggle, the Japanese government will also fund the construction of a special road route, which can be regarded as a maximum support for local companies.

This is also the best news that Zhu Youxing has heard in the first year, so he directly made a decision on the same day to withdraw part of the company's activity funds to purchase raw materials, and start working now! He couldn't wait for a moment, and he couldn't wait to see the birth of a paradise belonging to video games.
