Many people in the company have developed a natural sense of admiration for Tsukino Aya, and only a few others feel that this seems a bit inappropriate.
But this was the first time she had directly rejected Takeyusei's invitation to make a game, and Tsukino Aya didn't know how Takeyusei would react.
Looking at Zhu Youxing now, Zhu Youxing felt genuine joy.
This really surprised Aya Tsukino.
Did Zhu Youxing hope from a very early time that someone could have such independent thinking?
"Aren't you afraid that I might cause losses to the company? After all, our company has never failed before."
If she really causes the company its first significant loss, Aya Tsukino probably won't forgive herself.
"Exploring new things inevitably involves risks. In the past, I might not have been able to afford such risks, but now, whether it's you or someone else, if they are willing to take the risk, I'm willing to give them that opportunity, because I can afford it now. So go ahead and do it with confidence. I will hand over the development of the new Super Mario Bros. to others. As for the game you want to make, I will try my best to support you."
Zhu Youxing now has billions of dollars in reserves, and he can easily gamble away a hundred million or even a billion dollars. He can afford to lose now.
What's truly valuable is the willingness to take risks, which is essential for the company's better development.
Takeyusei thought about it again and realized that Tsukino Aya was one of the few female producers in the game industry at that time.
This is also of epoch-making significance.
Zhu Youxing understands that the game is primarily aimed at men, but there is also a huge market for women, and if handled properly, the profits can be astonishing.
With her silver hair in twin ponytails, Tsukino Aya looked intently at Takeyusei, then said, slowly and deliberately, "I won't let you down."
"I believe in you. Go do what you need to do. By the way, if you need more people, come to me. I can provide support in terms of funding and manpower. This time, you shouldn't make an indie game by yourself again. You need a truly top-notch game to prove your strength."
Aya Tsukino nodded earnestly, then turned and left.
Watching Aya Tsukino's retreating figure, Takeyusei felt that the game developers of this world were finally beginning to awaken to their true nature, which was a good thing. It seemed that he would be able to play more excellent games belonging to this world in the future, and he was actually quite looking forward to it.
Then, Yusei Takeyu casually handed over the task of developing New Super Mario Bros. to a development team that was not currently in operation.
This game doesn't offer any major gameplay breakthroughs; it's essentially an annual release. Being included as a standard feature at launch ensures the game will sell well.
The real hype surrounding the first release was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
The thought of being able to replicate the effects of Ocarina of Time on a handheld console is pretty awesome.
In his previous life, Ocarina of Time could only be created on game consoles, but with the current level of technology, it can be displayed on handheld consoles. He really needs to thank this world for its technology, which is far superior to that of his previous life.
Next, besides the details of game development, Zhuyouxing thought of another thing: the promotion of motion-sensing games.
This is something that Matsuhashi Minoru has already started promoting in the United States, and it cannot lag behind in Japan and other regions.
Motion-sensing games represent a blue ocean market for casual gamers. Before Su Rui Electronics sells its products, they can use motion-sensing games to attract an additional player base. This can be seen as a tentative clash between the two companies in the game console battle.
……
In a department store in the United States, a young and beautiful girl dressed in sportswear was pacing back and forth in front of the game console sales counter, looking somewhat hesitant.
She was holding a newly signed contract in her hand. It was a commercial performance contract with very generous pay and a very easy job. All she had to do every day was play motion-sensing games in the department store's game sales area.
She was born into an ordinary family, and she had always relied on odd jobs to save up for her tuition fees, as her family could not provide her with much financial support for her studies.
However, as she gradually finished high school and prepared to go to university, she needed more money.
The tuition at American universities is many times higher than that during high school, and it's simply not something you can cover by doing odd jobs.
She didn't want to take out a loan because she felt it was like mortgaging her future, even though student loans were already very favorable for students.
Just then, she saw an opportunity to earn more money.
Chapter 419 A Good Job
She is a gamer.
Moreover, she's a hardcore fan; she knows everything about Final Fantasy, Need for Speed, Dragon Quest, and Super Mario like the back of her hand.
This still represents a minority among women.
It is for this reason that she often browses the game's official forums.
This is her only form of entertainment during her free time from her heavy studies and arduous part-time jobs, because the joy it brings is pure; as long as you put in the effort, you will be rewarded, and the reward is very efficient.
It was for this reason that she stumbled upon a job posting while browsing the official forum.
The job posting specifically seeks to recruit a group of female gamers, but there are certain requirements regarding their figure and appearance; they must at least meet or exceed the standard of aesthetic appeal.
Martha is somewhat confident in this regard; at least in terms of physique, she should be considered passable, because she usually pays great attention to health and has been consistently working out.
In addition, she was one of the few female gamers, and when she saw the figures in the reward section, she was tempted.
So she took the initiative to go for the interview, and unsurprisingly, she passed.
Originally, Matsuhashi Minoru wanted to recruit some more beautiful models from the general public to advertise, but Takeyusei suggested that she should prioritize recruiting female gamers, so she gave these female gamers a chance.
Several other people passed the interview along with Martha.
They were then assigned to different department stores, where they were required to play motion-sensing games that had been released some time ago.
All you need to do is stand in front of the game console and TV, then hold the motion controller and play to your heart's content. If you can, it would be even better if you worked up a sweat.
The hourly wage is fifty dollars, because the motion-sensing games involve relatively intense physical activity, so I estimate I can only work four or five hours a day.
Earning over two hundred dollars in four or five hours is truly an amazing job; it even surpasses the income of many regular jobs.
If it weren't for the fact that she was a gamer, she probably wouldn't have been chosen.
So she felt very lucky.
However, playing motion-sensing games in public while wearing sportswear always feels like a social execution.
Therefore, she hesitated a lot.
But she really needed the money.
"You're Miss Martha, right?"
Just then, a voice rang out, startling Martha. She quickly turned around and saw a clerk from the department store's game area.
"Hello, our boss said that someone will come to advertise, and we need to cooperate with your work, so you can contact me if you need anything."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
The store employees also receive extra compensation for cooperating with the promotional staff, so they pay extra attention to this aspect.
"You look nervous? I'm telling you, you don't need to worry at all. Just treat it like you're playing a game at home. Come on, let me show you."
The shop assistant enthusiastically led Masha to a motion-sensing game console TV that had been prepared. He then picked up the motion-sensing controller and selected a motion-sensing tennis game.
"Come on, just like this."
Perhaps this shop assistant is a very outgoing person, what people would call a social butterfly. He is very open and can crack a joke from time to time.
This atmosphere actually helped relieve Martha's tension.
"Come on, let's play a game together. This tennis game is for two players. Go to that machine."
"Oh well."
With someone guiding her and two people executing her together on the spot, Martha was clearly more likely to accept it.
So she gradually relaxed and walked to another game console, wearing sportswear and picking up the motion controller.
"Come on, let's have a match first."
The shop assistant encouraged Masha while starting the game's serving motion.
Martha gradually got into the swing of things and was no longer as reserved as before.
Finally, she understood the state of mind she had when playing games: she could concentrate fully and no longer care about the stares of those around her.
The shop assistant was also very happy. It was quite enjoyable to play games with a beautiful lady. It was rare to see women playing games, and the extra pay made it a double treat.
By the way, I wonder if this lady is free tonight? Perhaps we could have dinner together?
Before he knew it, the shop assistant's thoughts had wandered off, and he promptly lost several games.
Martha has a good talent for playing games. She quickly grasped the essentials of motion-sensing tennis games and then quickly gained the upper hand.
Meanwhile, some customers who were browsing in the department store were gradually drawn to the commotion in the game area.
The main attraction is Masa's youthful and beautiful appearance, as well as her energetic demeanor when playing motion-sensing games, which is naturally very appealing.
It's not just men who are attracted to this scene; women are equally drawn to it.
Men appreciate Martha's looks and figure, which also makes them interested in the game.
Women, on the other hand, will observe Martha from the perspective of fellow women.
Martha soon started sweating from playing so intently, which gave the impression that this activity was particularly physically demanding and could be considered a form of exercise.
So, in that case, maybe this thing can help with weight loss?
Perhaps, if I played this game, I could become as slim as her?
This gave many of the women present a false impression.
"Phew, I'm sorry, I still have other customers to serve. Ms. Martha, please have some fun on your own for now. Thank you for your help today."
After playing for about ten minutes, the staff noticed that more and more customers were gathering in the game area, and he realized that the promotion had been effective.
So he decisively withdrew.
And he enthusiastically pulled over a very eager customer.
"Come, come, sir, why don't you try our motion-sensing games? Let me tell you, our motion-sensing games are high-quality physical exercise games that have been continuously calibrated by professionals. You can get exercise even without leaving home, and you can even lose weight! Give it a try!"
The man was a little hesitant when he was pulled over, but when he saw that he could play motion-sensing tennis games with the beautiful Masha, his resistance immediately disappeared.
Playing games with beautiful women is definitely a different experience.
In this way, once there's a first one, there will be a second one.
Martha thus became a mere companion, essentially a playmate.
And that's her day job.
And her stamina is really good; she accompanied customers for more than two hours, one after another, to experience the service.
Then, every customer who accompanied the other customers to the experience would at least check the price of the motion-sensing game first.
More and more people gathered around.
