Chapter 523 The neglected independent game
522
Now the game developers in this world seem to have really entered a vicious circle.

If it wasn't for Tsukino Sai suddenly saying this, Take Yuxing really didn't pay much attention.

This is not just an annoyance for the three girls.

Not entirely because the three of them are a little too ambitious.

Part of the reason is that the current environment is also a bit trending towards 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, can be on an equal footing with the status of large-scale industrialized games. Independent games are not much worse than large-scale production games, and independent games also have their own significance.

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 the opportunity to shine on their own, and large-budget films can also have a very small cost to try and make a successful film and television production direction with a greater chance of success.

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

This system is also applicable to the video game industry.

Large-scale games cannot be easily risked, because it involves hundreds of millions of dollars in funds.

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

Take Yusei has tried to encourage individual game development several times before, and has also held several game development theme competitions.

But these have little effect. Most people choose to join a game company directly after they have a certain game development foundation, participate in the big production game, and become a screw in the big production game.

Take Yuxing appeared to be thinking very seriously for more than ten minutes, while Tsukino Aya patiently watched Take Yuxing waiting for his answer.

Tsukino Aya knows Zhu Yuxing very well. When he is thinking seriously, he does not need to disturb him. He just needs to wait silently. He must be thinking intensely in his brain now, and he is probably thinking not only about his own questions. The problem is so simple, Zhu Yuxing obviously thought of other things through the distress of the three girls he said.

"color."

"Ok?"

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

Tsukune Aya was taken aback.

She didn't realize what Zhu Yuxing was saying for a while.

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 he 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 Yuxing has truly become the godfather of the industry in 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 flashes of light under the light.

But after all, he is only a human being, and he is 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 will probably fall into a state of daze in an instant.

At that time, Zhu Yuxing even felt that the entire industry would bring a lot of turmoil.

This is not an exaggeration, but 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 the development potential of this industry will end here?
Perhaps when he couldn't surpass himself again and again, it would cause turbulence no less than the collapse of Atari in his previous life.

Of course, this possibility is actually very low. Zhu Yuxing, who has decades of game development history in his previous life, may not be able to present all the high-quality games of his previous life to people in this world. He should not need to worry about it. 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, as I said just now, the game industry shouldn't develop like this. You should find a way to give independent games a certain right to speak."

The first thing Zhu Yuxing thought of 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 taking a chance and hoping that a super genius will suddenly pop up from the indie game circle and develop a blockbuster super indie game.

If Zhu Yuxing 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, creating an independent game that only he participated in.

And this kind of blockbuster top-level independent game Zhu Yuxing 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.
