Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 60 Deadly Hand Knife?

"Have you ever played Dragon Quest? What should I do with the dragon holding the princess?"

"It's very simple, as long as you get a lake sword in the well in the town, you can easily defeat the dragon."

"Huh? It's still possible to do this? How did you know?"

"Hey, have you read the latest Kasuga manga magazine?"

"Not yet, I just play games and have no interest in comics."

"Then you'd better buy a few copies. Now Kasuga Manga Magazine has a game guide column on the last page, and each issue will update some game guides of Dragon Quest, which can help you play the game more easily."

"It can still be like this. If there are strategies, wouldn't it be a lot of fun to play games?"

"Of course not, you can play the game by yourself first, and then use the strategy to fill in the missing things. Think about it, you missed an artifact. If you don't collect all of them, wouldn't it be hard? This is not simple for the purpose of customs clearance.”

"It makes sense, then I'll go buy a comic book."

"Not only one copy, but several copies, and now the Dragon Quest manga of the same name is being serialized, which is also very interesting, you can actually read it."

"Is that so, I'll think about it."

Conversations similar to the above have occurred in many places in recent days.

On the Internet, among friends, at school, among colleagues.

The topic of Dragon Quest seems to be rapidly fermenting in a few days.

The first is comic readers.

They also started playing games just because they wanted to see the sequel.

Later, after playing patiently for an hour, I found that I was sinking more and more.

RPGs may not be able to match the visual effects of games like Contra.

But once you get into it, it's easy to get overwhelmed.

They are immersed in the story until the end of the story and will reluctantly watch the rolling production member table in a daze. .

As for Contra, basically it will be put aside after completing the customs clearance, and those who are really interested will play it two or three more times, but it is just like playing boredom, and will not completely take it to heart.

But Dragon Quest can make people linger.

Even if you already know the development of the story, you can't help but start all over again and walk the road of the brave again.

It seems that every re-start is a new feeling, which makes people want to play again and again.

Perhaps this is the charm of role-playing games.

And with that, the sales of comics have also slowly increased.

The causes of these data are quite complex, and it is difficult to really investigate without a complete channel of statistical data.

Now, only Youxing Entertainment is the only one who fully grasps the detailed data, and it will not be disclosed to the public for the time being.

As for the data surveyed by Suri Electronics and other companies, it is actually not reliable at all, or they have not really paid attention to the emerging small company of Zhuyouxing, and have not taken it too seriously, and the investigation is not careful.

With the release of the ninth game Rocket Car, the tenth game is also on the agenda.

That is the red fortress, and the development work was handed over to the second game development team that made the rocket car.

Now they have gradually enriched their experience, and under the guidance of Zhu Yuxing, the game has been made very fast. At this time, the red fortress has already built the framework, and the rest is to fill in the content.

One month, a classic game from the previous life is released, and the red and white machines are sold for three or four years. I release about [-] games by myself, eat up the dividends, and then enter the next generation. This is the overall situation of Zhuyouxing. plan.

He didn't plan to rely on a game console to make a fortune. Since the technology in this world is already ahead of its time, it would be too much of a pity for the world not to speed up the pace of game development.

Zhu Yuxing stood up from his seat. Today, he plans to visit the first engineering development team to see the development of the game console hardware.

Up to now, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has a total of three development teams, namely the first engineering development team, the first game development team and the second game development team.

The first engineering development team is responsible for the optimization of game console hardware and the development of new game consoles, and also takes into account the research work on the extended hardware of red and white consoles.

For example, the light gun and external disk drive system that once appeared on the red and white machine.

It may not really be useful, but at least you must do research, increase the relevant research experience of employees, and lay a foundation for the future.

The first game development team is now working on a long-term project, a year-long development of Dragon Quest 2.

In fact, if you have the guidance of Zhu Yuxing, you will definitely be able to make it in a month.

But Zhu Yuxing still has a little ambition of his own.

He was not satisfied with the game quality of Dragon Quest II in his previous life.

He wants to expand on the basis of the original Dragon Quest 2, just like the optimization and improvement he made in Dragon Quest 1, to increase more playability, and at the same time to cultivate the game production ability of employees.

And the rhythm of the year is just right, one year of Dragon Quest to the third one to end the mission of the red and white machine, paving the way for the second game console.

The second game development team is responsible for the short-term development of popular games in the past life, and of course, it is not necessarily limited to release a game within a month.

Like Castlevania, you can extend the development time, and by the way, you can also catch the appetite of players and increase their sense of expectation.

In addition to these three development teams, the number of employees in the company has also been increasing slowly in the past one or two months. Now the number has reached 80 people. Zhuyouxing has planned to expand two more teams and add a project development team and a game development team.

And Zhu Yuxing finally recruited three suitable painters.

They were originally animators who served in the animation industry, but because of a standoff with their employers in some aspects, they were banned in the industry and couldn't get along, and other industries didn't need animators. In desperation, they were introduced to Zhu Yuxing by Dawu Ikeda. , became the real professional game original artist in the world.

Their own painting level is very high, but there is nothing they can do to offend people.

Passing through the two game development team offices on the second floor, Zhu Yuxing came to the engineering research and development team office on the third floor.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Airi Hayasawa's back. She was wearing work clothes and seemed to be seriously testing a newly created game hardware.

Airi Hayazawa didn't seem to notice when Take Yusei walked past, but continued to test with concentration.

Some employees on the side saw Take Yusei coming in and immediately wanted to say hello, but when they found out that Take Yusei was approaching behind their team leader Airi Hayasawa, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"President Zhuyou! Please be careful!!"

Snapped.

Take Yusei put his hand on Airi Hayasawa's shoulder lightly, and asked, "What work are you doing now?"

Airi Hayazawa was stunned for a moment, then turned back with a very happy smile: "Zhuyou-sang, you are here, I am working on the third batch of light guns for test samples, and I feel that this batch should be successful."

"Really? Can I experience it now?"

As soon as he heard that the light gun seemed to be completing the research, Zhu Yuxing also became interested.

The employees on the side watched the conversation between Zhu Yuxing and the group leader, and their eyes suddenly became round.

what's the situation?
President Takeyou approached Team Leader Hayazawa from behind and was not killed?

Before, many people in the group had inadvertently approached the group leader from behind.

Then their team leader Airi Hayasawa seemed to have some kind of stress response, and when he returned, he would shoot a deadly knife at the person who approached from behind.

The most serious people passed out on the spot and were taken to the hospital for a day and a night of recuperation.

Later, the team members reached a consensus that they must not approach their team leader from behind, it is too dangerous.

So far, it seems that no one has been able to get close to Team Leader Hayesawa and escape completely.

Today, that convention is broken.

Their president Zhuyou could easily approach behind the team leader without being counterattacked by a knife.

What the hell!
