Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Then, after graduating from the University of Tokyo, he did not hesitate to join Yusei Electronic Entertainment.

After going through rounds of selection, he successfully stood out from other outstanding candidates and joined Youxing Electronic Entertainment, becoming a member of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

He is now in charge of the main program development in the ninth development group, which is considered an important role.

Besides him, there are many other people who also greatly admire Yusei and then choose to join Yusei Electronic Entertainment as employees.

It can be said that 90% of the employees who joined the company later did so because of Zhu Youxing. Of course, don't misunderstand, it was just admiration, nothing more, except for the girls.

Hideaki Uchiyama inwardly acknowledged his subordinate's praise, but outwardly he remained as quiet and reserved as ever, simply saying, "Alright, let's wait quietly for the president to arrive."

About ten minutes later, Zhu Youxing arrived at the office.

As soon as the door opened, most of the employees immediately fell silent, and many of them looked intently in the direction of the door.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I didn't know there was a meeting going on here."

A cleaning lady from the building walked in. She usually liked to spend some time in the conference room. She didn't expect there to be so many people here today. Usually, there are hardly any people here. Most people have a lot of work to do and don't have time to gather in this big office for a meeting.

But today is the day that Zhu Youxing convened, which is why this large office is being used.

Everyone was speechless; they had misplaced their admiration.

But then Zhu Youxing walked in and greeted the cleaning lady very politely, making her feel flattered.

What a good child! If her daughter could find a husband like that, she would die without regrets.

The employees were momentarily stunned, but then looked at Zhu Youxing with renewed admiration.

Zhu Youxing was already used to such gazes and walked to the front of the conference room with a smile.

Then, Zhu Youxing's usual work assistant came in. She usually provided Zhu Youxing with any work-related assistance.

She carried a stack of documents and a computer. She first went to the front of the conference room and connected and tested the projector. After confirming that everything was set up and that Zhu Youxing could use it stably, she nodded slightly to Zhu Youxing and then quickly left.

Zhu Youxing then sat down in the main seat and coughed lightly twice.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm sorry to have taken up a little of your time, but this meeting is quite important."

Everyone fell silent, waiting for Zhu Youxing to say what he was about to say.

"As you may have guessed, the reason I've gathered everyone here is to develop a new game."

Everyone was very excited after hearing Zhu Youxing's affirmative answer.

Another new game!

And this time it seems they only gathered one development team.

This shows how much Zhu Youxing values ​​his group.

Moreover, if there is only one development team, it means that there are not many people around Zhu Youxing when he participates in the development, and they may have the opportunity to have more close contact with their idol.

Among these people were some girls who immediately realized that they hadn't dressed up properly for the day.

Oh no, I should have used better cosmetics. If I had known I would have the chance to get close to Zhu Youxing, I would definitely have used my most precious cosmetics without hesitation.

Although they knew that someone like Zhu Youxing probably wouldn't even look at them, but... what if he did?

As for the male colleagues, they were much more straightforward. They were simply happy to be able to develop games with Zhu Youxing, and being able to be close to him was enough for them.

Those with ambition have already begun to consider how to learn more about BambooStar's development philosophy during the development process.

"I wonder how many of you are interested in horror movies?"

"Horror movies?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, still somewhat confused as to why Zhu Youxing had suddenly asked this question.

However, some people seem to have realized something.

Of the more than 500 people, there must be some who are interested in this, and they all raised their hands.

Zhu Youxing looked around and nodded.

There were about fifty people, making up about ten percent, which is about right.

Horror movies are actually a niche genre, and it's already quite rare for even 10% of people to like them.

"Everyone, let me give you a heads-up. I'm planning to develop a horror/thriller game this time, so if any of you don't want to participate, you can say so now."

Chapter 517 A Different Kind of Thriller Game

517

Horror and thriller games are different from other types of games.

Even if you're not interested in other types of games, they won't make you feel too bad.

However, developing horror games means that most developers will frequently encounter this genre, and if people are actually afraid of it, their development efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Although game development itself is just a matter of programming, the work environment is something that cannot be changed.

Moreover, game development also requires the joint efforts of the entire team, and frequent meetings are needed to discuss the direction of the game's development.

If there are people who are really opposed to this, Zhuyouxing will give them a chance to give up this development for now and talk about it again when there are other game development plans in the future.

Horror game?

The girls immediately backed out.

None of these people like horror movies, let alone develop horror games.

But I'm a little unwilling. Am I really going to lose this chance to get close to my idol?

I really don't want to.

But it seems there's no other way.

It's really frustrating.

Should we get involved in the game development?

At this point, Zhu Youxing said, "Of course, I also know that some of you may feel regretful, so I can promise you that my idea for this game is that it is mostly thrilling, with relatively few scary elements. If you really can't accept it, I will have other development plans, and you can also participate in the development of other games."

This time, Zhu Youxing is not just preparing to develop one game; he plans to develop multiple projects simultaneously.

He only needed to provide the general direction for Resident Evil, and he also planned to oversee the development of several other games at the same time.

However, we haven't thought of any other game development plans yet.

Some of the girls in the crowd did indeed back down.

However, after careful consideration, they decided that they must work with Zhu Youxing to develop the game this time, even if it was a horror or thriller game.

Besides the female employees, many male employees seemed eager to try it out.

Horror and thriller games, huh? That's a whole new genre... Oh, wait, horror and thriller games have already appeared in this world. The Suri Electronics store next door already has two such games. However, those games are all jump scares, so their sales aren't particularly good. Obviously, most players play games to have fun, not to make themselves uncomfortable.

Hideaki Uchiyama raised his hand and asked directly, "President, I'd like to ask what exactly the content is?"

"That's a very good question. You can take a look at my general plan."

Zhu Youxing turned on his computer and projected the story outline he had prepared to everyone.

In a fictional city called Raccoon City, a strange murder occurs in a forest located on the outskirts of the city.

The victim had signs of being chewed and bitten by a creature, and his body was somewhat dismembered.

The Raccoon City police department dispatched special forces to investigate, but they eventually disappeared without a trace.

Raccoon City then dispatched another special forces unit.

However, during the investigation, the newly dispatched team was attacked by unknown creatures in a suburban forest. One team member was killed, and the survivors escaped into a suburban villa. There, they encountered a group of zombies infected with something called the T-virus. These zombies fed on living people and attacked special forces members Jill and Claire. While escaping and searching for a way to contact the outside world, they discovered that everything was caused by a leak of the T-virus from the large multinational pharmaceutical company Umbrella Corporation.

This is the whole story.

This is a very standard opening for a zombie drama.

Zombie movies do have a market in this world, but compared to other traditional commercial films, the market is not large enough; it can only be considered a slightly niche but popular genre.

This type of film usually appears more often in B-movies as a background story for disgusting characters.

"I call this game Resident Evil. Simply put, it's about a mysterious virus spreading, and the characters embarking on an adventure in this atmosphere full of danger."

"President, this doesn't sound that scary. It's similar to the movies I've seen before," an employee said somewhat dismissively.

The men had seen many zombie movies, so they were immune to this type of film. Therefore, when Zhu Youxing described the game, they didn't find it scary at all.

Zhu Youxing shook his head at this moment: "No, this is different from the feeling of watching a movie. When you watch a movie, you are more like an observer. From the perspective of an observer, it is difficult for you to accumulate enough fear. But when you experience a game, you are a participant. Scenes that are not particularly scary in a movie will feel different in a game."

Everyone listened patiently, and every now and then someone would lower their head and quickly take notes.

Every time Zhu Youxing holds a game development seminar, it's essentially a lecture.

Opportunities to have the God of Games personally give a lecture are rare, and they cherish them greatly.

"This is just the beginning of a project, and it's only limited to the story. There's still a lot to add. I want to emphasize the puzzle-solving aspect of this game, making it more engaging and immersive. Imagine a group of zombies rushing towards you from behind, and all you have to do is quickly unlock a door. This sense of presence and tension will make it easier for players to get into the game."

"I see." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then Zhu Youxing showed everyone the general framework of the game he had prepared.

The main focus is on deciphering the mystery, and only secondarily on the threat and terrifying atmosphere from the zombies.

Zhu Youxing explained the game to these people for about an hour and a half, and everyone finally understood the general process of the game.

So all that's left is to prepare to start construction.

The programmers will be the first to take action, followed by the staff responsible for art and music, and then the level designers.

This time, Zhuyouxing will only provide a general direction, and then the rest will be up to them to fill in the gaps. Resident Evil is a game that is very suitable for employees to grow. Zhuyouxing also hopes to help these people grow so that they can have more time to take care of the development of multiple games at the same time.

Chapter 518 Three Future Female Producers

518

After the meeting, the members of Group Nine immediately sprang into action.

They already had extensive experience in game development, so now they can immediately and skillfully take action whenever a new task comes up.

This time, Zhuyouxing did not provide very clear development details, and they will have to find ways to fill in the gaps themselves. This is a huge test for them, but it is also very challenging.

It remains to be seen how well they can achieve this without Zhu Youxing's full supervision.
