Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

However, after the acquisition of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, all the publicity work was handed over to Youxing Electronic Entertainment's publicity department.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has already attracted a lot of attention simply by announcing their work along with the press conference.

The two of them quickly gained fame.

A game studio that can be favored by Youxing Electronic Entertainment must be pretty good.

Moreover, there are almost no games in this world with a post-apocalyptic wasteland theme.

In order to make their works look better, Zhu Youxing instructed them to use all the features of Unreal Engine without paying in advance.

Of course, they will need to share an additional portion of the game's profits with the Unreal Engine studio once the game's earnings exceed one million dollars.

Most of the profits are used for engine development, while a portion goes towards employee salaries and bonuses, which motivates and strengthens the Unreal Engine team.

Their release date was also calculated.

Released a week after Yuxing Electronics, just as most core gamers had recently completed Dragon Quest and their demand for role-playing games had not yet diminished, this new role-playing game with a completely new story background was a perfect fit to keep pace with the playtime of these core gamers.

In addition to this game, other games of different genres were released in succession in April.

Under the planning of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, each game deemed to be of good quality will be released according to a predetermined schedule to avoid multiple games of the same type competing on their own platform. Unless both game developers want to compete to see who is stronger, releasing similar games at the same time can easily lead to mutual destruction.

Then in April, various genres were released one after another, and each game was of very high quality, almost to the point of emptying players' wallets.

This makes it almost impossible for the core player base of Youxing Electronics Entertainment to consider a second gaming platform. This month, they have basically held their ground and prevented Surui Electronics from breaching their defenses.

However, this alone is certainly not enough.

During this period, Zhu Yuxing also thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally determined that Monster Hunter should be able to play a decisive role at this time.

Monster Hunter is the game that popularized a new type of game: co-op games, and it has almost become the only choice for players in the co-op game genre.

Monster Hunter's status in co-op games is comparable to that of Mario in platformer games; both are absolute kings in their respective genres.

Unlike other genres, Takeyusei sometimes needs to carefully select games if he wants to make them, but for co-op games, there's no need to consider anything else; Monster Hunter is the perfect choice.

However, the most difficult part of Monster Hunter is adjusting the values ​​of monster movements and character movements.

Capcom was known as the god of action games in its previous life because almost no one could surpass them in the action game genre.

Their status is due to their pursuit of perfection in the numerical values ​​of movements.

Monster Hunter, in particular, is truly a masterpiece of Capcom's mastery of action stat tuning.

What kind of actions would a creature that has never existed before take?

Why this action?

The goal is to create a world that anyone who sees it will immediately feel: this is a logically consistent world, where every creature is incredibly real, as if such a space-time truly exists and such creatures truly live in it.

This will be very difficult, and everything will require a very long time to refine. Relying solely on the values ​​currently in the database will probably not be very effective.

Thinking about this, Takeyusei realized that developing the Monster Hunter game would probably not be so easy.

The effort required this time will likely be far greater than before.

However, creating such a game would undoubtedly be incredibly rewarding.

However, I have plenty of manpower now. If I wanted, I could assemble a team of a thousand people to work at the same time. With this kind of manpower, the development speed would definitely be far greater than in my previous life.

The more Takeyusei thought about it, the more he wanted to create Monster Hunter.

If you're going to do something, do something challenging; the feeling of overcoming yourself is quite enjoyable.

At the same time, he felt that if the world didn't get to experience Monster Hunter and its players didn't get to feel the pain of being brutally defeated by monsters, it would be a huge disservice to the players of this world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxing called his assistant over and instructed him to arrange for several game development teams and the company's independent game numerical departments to temporarily suspend their plans after finishing their current work.

At the current pace, these people will probably finish their current work in about three months, and then he can take them to properly tackle Monster Hunter.

At this moment, in Zhu Youxing's eyes, Monster Hunter is like a game waiting to be conquered.

Once you've completed crafting a Monster Hunter game, it means you've finished the game.

The designated studios were all very excited after hearing the order from the president's assistant.

This is a sign that the president is preparing to make another top-tier game.

The last time was when we were making Final Fantasy VII.

Final Fantasy VII has successfully established itself as a top-tier title, becoming an absolute must-see in the role-playing game genre.

As a result, everyone involved in the production of Final Fantasy VII, including some outsourced resource teams, gained a great deal of production experience.

Anyone who claims to have participated in the production of Final Fantasy VII will inevitably be envied and admired by countless peers.

The development team was overjoyed when Zhu Youxing issued his mobilization order again.

However, they still had to wait three months to finish their respective jobs, which made them somewhat frustrated.

Since that's the case, let's strive to achieve even better results in these three months, so that the president can recognize the strength of each of them!

As a result, the studios that were named worked even harder on development and had stricter requirements for the game, which made the overall quality of the game even better than before.

It's true that the more complex a game is, the more likely bugs and glitches will appear. But they manage to make it so that players can hardly feel any bugs or glitches in the game because of their crazy pursuit of perfection. That's really terrifying.

Chapter 453 Two Clever People

Hayakawa Ueto frowned as he reviewed the latest sales report in his office.

This time, through a massive advertising campaign, both of their game consoles received positive initial feedback.

After a month, the shipments of both game consoles exceeded initial expectations, which is a good thing.

Meanwhile, the game's sales are also quite good.

It seems that there are indeed many visual creatures among players. They don't have a deep understanding of how fun a game is. As long as it reaches a certain standard and has excellent graphics, they can maximize their profits.

This is a result that has been validated by the market for some time.

Their signature work, Sun Knight, naturally requires very strict standards; it must be an exceptionally excellent work with the highest level of prestige.

However, other works made in-house have been verified and confirmed the previous theory.

Then we could consider implementing assembly-line game production.

Here he would like to once again praise the game industry system that Zhuyouxing initially advocated.

Through a mature division of labor in the game industry, a company can produce works that consistently maintain a high standard.

As long as the company continues to do this, it can ensure its survival in the gaming market.

The gaming market needs such an industrial system to truly stabilize the entire industry, just like the Hollywood film industry system.

This industrial system can at least ensure that players will not get bored for at least 20 or 30 years. As for what will happen in the future, Zhu Youxing really doesn't know. In his original world, the real golden age of game development was only about 20 or 30 years.

With this mature production line, Hayakawa Ueto can at least deliver a passable report to the shareholders and appease their dissatisfaction.

The shareholders had long complained about the excessive investment in video games, as the investment in the gaming industry squeezed the cash flow of many other departments.

If a team can't even reach a passing grade after competing for a while, then this battle will likely collapse from within first.

Those shareholders are a bunch of guys who only care about immediate gains; almost none of them have any long-term plans.

Once you've delivered a passing grade, you'll have the opportunity to aim for an even higher score.

Otherwise, if you want a poor student to suddenly become the top student in the class, the entire class would have to have diarrhea on the day of the exam.

That would be equivalent to Bamboo Star, this giant, directly announcing its abandonment of the game industry, but that's almost impossible.

Just then, one of the private lines on his desk rang.

He picked up the phone without hesitation.

Right now, there should only be one person calling his dedicated line, and that's YOO Internet Portal CEO Changwei Yu.

During this period, they frequently exchanged intelligence to ensure that they would be absolutely safe in the protracted war to come.

"Hayakawa, I have some good news for you. Sales through my online shopping channels are going very well right now. The latest sales data should have been sent to you by now, right? Have you seen it?"

Hayakawa Ueto held the latest document in one hand and a microphone in the other. He glanced at the document, nodded, and said, "I've read it all."

"Hmm? You don't seem particularly satisfied with your tone? Our sales figures have already exceeded your company's original first-month shipment forecast, right?"

"Yes, it definitely exceeded expectations, but I still can't be happy about it."

"Is it Yusei Electronics Entertainment?" Nagao Ame immediately realized that if such sales figures could cause Hayakawa Ueto any distress, then it could only be the performance of their competitor.

"That's right. According to the intelligence we've gathered, their handheld console sales in the first month should have exceeded 2.3 million units, while our handheld console sales have just broken 1.5 million, a difference of more than 800,000 units. It's really enviable."

After listening to the conversation on the other end of the phone, Changweiyu immediately comforted him, saying, "Hey, don't worry about it. Our real push hasn't come yet. According to some of my research data, sales in some countries that we haven't paid attention to before are also showing an upward trend. It's just that we haven't noticed it before, which has led to product shortages. Otherwise, we should actually be able to sell more."

Hayakawa Ueto was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Long Tail Rain said in a good mood, "This is information I deduced through online shopping channels. There are stockouts in some regions that we haven't paid much attention to before, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and the European Union. Originally, we expected that the population base in these regions should not be able to buy so many products, but they are unexpectedly out of stock. So I think that the products from those regions have been sold to other regions. In that case, I think we can increase the distribution of these regions that we haven't paid attention to before, and that way our sales performance can reach a new level."

Hayakawa Ueto was also a very shrewd businessman, and he immediately understood the meaning behind Nagao Amane's words.

Products from some regions cannot be sold due to different national policies, so they had to give up on that market segment before and did not consider it.

But now it seems that we are only now realizing that this is also a fairly large market.

However, this inevitably prevents the truth from being revealed; as the saying goes, those who know, know.

Hayakawa Ueto's mind also started to wander.

Nagaoyu tentatively asked in a very tempting tone, "So, should we stock up in these areas? I think these places have a lot of potential to be tapped."

"You can give it a try."

Hayakawa Ueto pondered for a moment, and then made a decision.

This is also a market that can be won over, and it seems that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has not realized this.

With Hayakawa Ueto's permission, Nagao Amane no longer had to worry about anything. He immediately began to arrange for people to start working on increasing distribution in these areas. With such a vigorous effort, he felt that this matter was becoming more and more promising.

Of course, he hasn't slackened in his efforts in the internet sector either, since that's his main business. Online shopping is the new internet growth point he plans to promote, but it's still in its early stages and needs to be taken slowly.

First, we need to establish online shopping channels for this popular game console product, allowing people to gradually get used to online shopping.

This is also part of Nagao Rain's ambition; otherwise, why would he be willing to personally subsidize each handheld console with fifty dollars? It's because it's extremely profitable.

It would be very beneficial for him.

Hayakawa Ueto naturally understood this as well. Both of them were intelligent people, and there was no need to point out each other's motives in a mutually beneficial situation.
