Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 542 Three hundred million

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 for a short period of time, and other game development must also take 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.

There are also three appearances in this series.

The Pokémon series of the previous life was somewhat suspicious of being too old-fashioned at the end.

And Zhu Yuxing didn't want the Pokémon in this world to become like this, even if it was really for making money, he had to make decent money.

So he slowed down the development cycle and added some gameplay and functions on the basis of the original Pokemon series as much as possible. Even if there is no innovation, there is always no problem in launching more Pokemon.

For most players, Pokémon is like a childhood dream, and the basic game 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.

Take Yusei ticked on the paper, and then looked at the next project.

The third project that needs to be paid attention to 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 it, it's not a big problem.

The development of the previous game used more than 1000 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 Yuxing 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 Three Kingdoms world. It can even be said bluntly that it is because of the appearance of Three Kingdoms Warriors that the world understands the history of the Three Kingdoms in China.

It's just... Now there is a big problem.

That is, many histories of the Three Kingdoms in this world are different from the parallel worlds of Zhu Yuxing'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 the characters that Zhu Yuxing is familiar with in his previous life are also different. This world The Three Kingdoms of China did not have Liu Guanzhang, nor did Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo and others.

In fact, it is not only the history of the Three Kingdoms in this world, but the trajectories of many ancient histories in this world are 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 Yuxing somewhat confused.

In fact, he still really wanted to reproduce the original appearance of the Three Kingdoms Warriors.

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

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

But the Three Kingdoms Warriors series is a bit unwilling to not do it, so Zhu Yuxing is stuck here and has not started development.

Otherwise, Zhu Youxing would have been preparing to make Warriors of the Three Kingdoms long ago. This is also one of his own childhood memories. It was really nice to play all night at home with my dad who also likes to play games.

After taking a look at the plan, Zhu Yuxing finally shook his head and decided to put it down for the time being.

This is the knot in Zhu Yuxing's heart, maybe it will be solved by himself at some point, and he can start doing 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 after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

Putting this project aside, Take Yusei felt that only three projects 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 developing such a very pure European and American game on the basis of Japanese culture may be unsatisfactory.

Instead, we can consider expanding the number of overseas game production studios to prepare for future big 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 team strength still doesn't quite meet the standards in Zhu Yuxing's mind.

It's really impossible to start making Final Fantasy 9, but 9 is not so famous in the entire 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.

It's just that Final Fantasy 8 hasn't been released yet. It's still too early to consider a sequel. If you do it too quickly, the quality of the work will easily decline, or wait.

Dragon Quest also has a similar problem now. This has also been released to the ninth generation, and the popularity of Dragon Quest is slowly waning, because the gameplay itself is now relatively classical, and now players prefer fresh Exciting game content.

This is a historical law and cannot be influenced by human beings.

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

Take Yusei casually put his plans aside, and then began to check the latest data information and executive letters sent to him.

The data information is all about game sales results, 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 [-] 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 [-] million units. This figure is simply scary. Even in the record of his previous life, game consoles did not exceed [-] million. His own FC has already sold [-] 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 Yuxing glanced at the game's sales data, and then his eyes stopped on a set of data.

Game sales data in Europe.
