Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

It had only been a short time since the news spread online, but players had already shown great anticipation.

However, this news was clearly released too early.

Shortly after the news leaked, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment announced that the game had just started and it would probably be quite a long time before players could actually play it.

At the same time, I would also like to condemn the person who leaked the information, although it was intentional on their part, with the aim of influencing Su Rui Electronics' judgment and buying time for themselves.

On the Su Rui Electronics side, regardless of Zhu Youxing's purpose or plans, Su Rui Electronics absolutely cannot fall behind and must keep up.

Now it's a race against time to see who can hold out the longest.

So, not long after the leak, Hayakawa Ueto immediately contacted a game company that is now quite large.

He's not a game developer. He can appreciate some of the fun in games and admit that Yusei Electronics' games are really good, but he can't make games himself.

He can only rely on talented game developers.

Fortunately, he has a very good reputation in the industry for being respectful and generous, and he also provides generous funding. Some studios with low-quality games in the early stages have also received investment from Surui Electronics, which has given them the opportunity to gradually grow.

Now is the time for them to come in handy.

According to leaked information, Zhuyouxing has mobilized more than a thousand developers this time.

Today, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has truly established a mature game industry, and can mobilize any number of teams to work together at any time.

Hayakawa Ueto greatly admired this tacit cooperation.

Even their own first-party development team hasn't been able to do this so far.

Fortunately, he had ample funds.

The number of users for both game consoles is surging, which is the source of my confidence in front of the board of directors.

At the very least, we can't fall behind; we must keep up with the times. If we don't have any ideas for developing new types of games, then we should develop a game based on existing popular games.

Currently, the best-selling games on the market are still role-playing games.

Hayakawa Ueto hoped to achieve the same kind of success as Final Fantasy with a single large investment.

Games with tens of millions of sales represent console sales of at least tens of millions, which can expand the market.

Of course, making games is not enough. Hayakawa Ueto knows his strengths and cannot fall behind in games. He wants to surpass Yusei Electronic Entertainment in other areas.

So what are the strengths of Surui Electronics?

Powerful multimedia capabilities.

Both handheld consoles and game consoles also have the function of multimedia entertainment.

Although Morgan Group is eyeing this opportunity with great interest, Surui Electronics is not afraid.

Your Morgan Group's devices only have multimedia functions and no games, while mine can play games and also has multimedia functions. This combination of multiple functions is its biggest advantage.

You don't need to buy a bunch of other random stuff. Just buy one device like mine, turn it on, put in your favorite movie disc, and you can watch any movie or TV show.

The discs on the GS1 console from Yuxing Electronics Entertainment are in a high-definition format similar to DVDs, which is incomparable to the clarity of Blu-ray discs, so they pose no threat at all.

As long as Suri Electronics carves out its own niche in terms of comprehensive capabilities, it will be a success.

Once the number of installed units increases, there will be much more room for maneuver in the future. Even if the game consoles sold are sold at a loss, it will still be very worthwhile.

Once the strategy was determined, Surui Electronics Company began to take action, launching a new round of publicity campaigns.

All movies from Detroit Films, a subsidiary of Surrey Electronics, can be purchased on disc at a lower price, in order to showcase the powerful functionality of the new game console.

In any case, the profits from making a movie are already a done deal. The more discs sold, the more pure profit they make. The manufacturing and transportation costs of the discs are less than one dollar. So, Suri Electronics has no reason to lose money.

However, Takeyusei does not have these advantages. People's energy is always limited. Hayakawa Ueto is a businessman and a top manager, while he prefers to specialize in what he loves more.

However, the direction of Surui Electronics also gave me some inspiration. I don't necessarily have to leave this kind of thing to my own people. I can study it in the future.

But for now, let's focus more on the development of Monster Hunter.

These past few days, Zhu Youxing has been staying at the company again.

However, things are different now than in the past.

Now that he has the top floor all to himself, there is a dedicated rest room on this floor, which is almost no different from home. Sometimes Zhu Youxing even thinks he might as well just live here.

However, home still feels like home, and if I'm not really busy, I can still go home on time.

Now, every day I go downstairs to work in the morning and go back to my top floor in the evening to continue researching game development.

In addition to the company's internal development team, there are several groups of researchers who go to various regions to experience different natural environments firsthand, all in order to create a realistic game world.

By August, the Monster Hunter project was fully operational, and everyone was incredibly busy.

Takeyusei stayed in the office, focusing on advancing the production of Monster Hunter.

He had to personally discuss the creation of the game's world view and script with the main planners of several groups, finalize which initial scenes were more suitable, and compile a development plan. This was a game he was personally developing, so he wanted to personally review everything and have a clear understanding of it.

This game development marked the first time motion capture technology was used. For him, it was already commonplace, but the people in this world could not fully understand the enormous changes that motion capture brought to the game.

This requires coordination with the US side, because all the motion capture equipment is there, and close cooperation from them is essential.

Zhu Youxing felt that after the game development was completed, he would need to set up a complete motion capture team and equipment in Japan. He didn't care about the money; he was already flush with cash.

Motion capture is a one-time solution; the sooner you implement it, the sooner you'll reap the rewards.

After the motion capture was finalized, it was time for the art designers to take over.

Art design is divided into scene design, character design, and post-production.

Zhu Youxing could certainly provide a complete Monster Hunter design, but that would easily stifle the artists' creativity. So he required the artists to create scenes and characters within a certain framework first, and then let him review them. As long as it wasn't too jarring, Zhu Youxing would approve it.

Chapter 462 Foods that Match Human Taste

"The Great Bird is like... a chicken that can't fly, and it runs very clumsily, but it especially likes to attack its enemies by charging. Then, when enraged, the Great Bird will open the umbrella-like structure on its head. This is roughly what I imagine it to look like, but you can study the rationality of your own imagined biological forms with biologists and environmentalists."

The artists listened attentively to Takeyusei's descriptions of several iconic monsters from Monster Hunter, and then worked hard to conceive an image in their minds that closely resembled the creatures he described.

This is what these graphic designers do every day.

If you are a creative person, you will enjoy the process very much. You can do what you love and at the same time get generous rewards, which is very happy.

After discussing monster, scene, and costume designs with the art team for about an hour or two, Zhu Youxing began reviewing the reports from the field researchers about their creature encounters.

Those who go out to explore are a group of people who love adventure and exploration, and this spirit of making the best use of their talents is fully demonstrated at Youxing Electronic Entertainment Company.

The development of the Monster Hunter Bamboo Star is expected to take at least a year.

Just as the game was nearing completion, the company celebrated its tenth anniversary.

By that time.

This game will be the first video game to use a motion capture system, marking another milestone. Including it as part of the anniversary celebration would be a great idea.

However, this one anniversary game alone is definitely not enough. He has other game development plans, but these can be handed over to a trustworthy team.

The first development team will be developing the regular Dragon Quest series, and this time it will be the eighth installment.

Once the game had a stable player base, simply telling a good story was enough to keep players very satisfied.

Now, all Zhuyouxing needs to do is provide the main storyline to the first development team, and let them handle the rest.

Then there will be a new Mario console game next year.

Originally, Takeyusei wanted to directly use the Mario Galaxy game, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

At the same time, the simultaneous release of a bunch of outstanding games is like fighting against yourself. Having two top-tier games at the same time is enough; having more than that would distract players too much.

Monster Hunter will be one of the highlights of the anniversary celebration, and the second highlight game is Final Fantasy VIII.

Given the excellence of Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII is actually somewhat inferior. Even though Final Fantasy VIII is superior in both graphics and gameplay, it is still difficult to surpass the success of Final Fantasy VII.

But as one of the games celebrating the 10th anniversary, it is more than enough. After all, it is not very realistic to work on multiple big titles at the same time, unless the developers expand the project further.

After reviewing the reports submitted by the field researchers, the day's work was basically finished.

In the evenings, some of the employees who were on shift change would come to work to monitor the progress of the program development and the CG rendering.

Zhu Youxing returned to his top-floor office to review the documents, then quietly waited for the US side to start work during the day so he could follow up with the engine and motion capture teams there.

At this moment, Zhu Youxing felt as if he had returned to the time when he first came to this world.

Back then, he could go seven days and seven nights without rest, which was probably one of the perks of being a time traveler. He can still maintain his high energy level now.

If I wanted to, I could continue fighting like this for many more days, as if my energy would never run out.

Unfortunately, he can only rely on hard work to do something, without the benefits of other transmigrator systems.

But Zhu Youxing was already quite satisfied with this.

Even without the system, he has reached where he is today; there really can't be better.

Ding.

Just then, the private elevator on the top floor beeped, indicating that someone had taken it to the top floor.

Zhu Youxing subconsciously looked up at the elevator.

There aren't many people who can take the elevator up without permission.

"Ding-dong, Zhuyou, are you there?"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Youxing knew who had arrived.

"Airi, what brings you here?"

"Because I also have engineering development plans on my side. How can I rest when you, the boss, don't even take a break?"

As Hayazawa Airi spoke, she stepped out of the elevator and into Takeyusei's office.

The entire office was so spacious that your voice would echo.

"I really don't understand why you like to have such a big office. Don't you feel it's too empty?"

Every time Hayazawa Airi comes online, she can't help but complain about Takeyusei's strange interests.

"Well, I'm just an ordinary person. I had this dream when I was very young, and now I guess I've realized it... Oh? Aya Tsukino, you're here too."

Takeyusei had originally intended to chat casually with Airi, but suddenly he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off. He couldn't help but glance at the elevator again and discovered that it wasn't just Airi who got on; Tsukino Aya was also there.

As always, Aya Tsukino calmly replied, "I also want to keep an eye on the progress of my game development. Aren't you happy to let me in?"

"Of course not, I welcome both of you."
