Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

However, the people in this world don't understand this reference, which only adds a touch of mystery to the way Zhuyouxing names this game.

Tsukino Aya, on the other hand, was already used to it. Takeyusei always managed to come up with some strange game genre names, and the name 4399 was nothing new to her.

Chapter 520 Giving Up

520

"In fact, the most important thing in game development is not to be overly ambitious. It is a completely new industry, no less than the film industry, and even more complex. Everyone has to take it one step at a time. There are no shortcuts."

Zhu Youxing explained to the three of them very sincerely, making it easier for them to accept that complex games could not be developed for the time being.

Then, Zhu Youxing explained some interesting behind-the-scenes stories about the game to the three girls, and then wrote a personal message of blessing for each of them, hoping that they would seriously consider developing games after they entered university.

Judging by the timeline, they should be entering university next year, so it's not too late for them to study game development properly then.

After leaving the Yuxing Electronic Entertainment building, the three girls took a tram to go home.

The three remained silent on the tram, showing no excitement about the opportunity to visit the Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Building.

Or rather, the three of them were initially quite excited, but the reality before them left them speechless for a moment.

Finally, Aiko spoke up: "Kazumi, you're right. Game development is definitely not something the three of us can handle. Games like Final Fantasy require a lot of money and manpower that the three of us girls simply cannot do."

The family of the three girls is not very wealthy, but they are considered a slightly upper-middle-class family.

However, it still seems like a drop in the ocean compared to the development costs of large-scale productions that often reach hundreds of millions of dollars.

They couldn't afford even a game that cost tens of millions of dollars.

It seems... this industry really is one with very high barriers to entry.

At this point, Yin Jiang said somewhat unwillingly, "But we can also develop some simple games first."

Kazumi shook her head: "But we can only make some simple games. How popular can these simple games be?"

Yin Jiang said, "I think Fruit Ninja is pretty simple, maybe we can give it a try."

"That would probably require several hundred thousand dollars, which we still can't do right now."

Yinjiang was speechless for a moment.

The more the three girls witnessed the game development process of large game companies, the more desperate they became.

They also realized that they had been too naive before, naively believing that the three of them could form a perfect triangle and develop a game.

However, this does not mean that the three of them have completely given up on game development. In any case, they can always learn game development and work for a game-related company later.

However, they were still a little unwilling to give up, and the three of them still wanted to develop their own game.

The three girls said their goodbyes, clearly still preoccupied with their own thoughts.

The three girls met at school the next day and seemed no different from usual, but the very perceptive Tian Chong noticed the differences between them.

He is no longer the internet addict he once was. At least he can now balance gaming and studying very reasonably and doesn't get addicted to games easily, thanks in large part to his son.

At the same time, he also harbored a little bit of affection for Aiko, but unfortunately, Aiko completely regarded him as a friend or a little kid.

"Hey, what's wrong with you three? Something seems off. Should we continue with today's club activity?"

Normally, Oto and Kazumi should have started their daily bickering at this time, but today they both seemed rather quiet, which definitely seemed a bit off.

At this moment, Yin Jiang glanced at Tian Chong, who was showing concern, and then told him about what had happened yesterday without holding back.

Tian Chong's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

"Wha...what! You actually went to the company of the God of Games? And you even received personal guidance from the God of Games?! Why didn't you tell me?!"

Tian Chong was so envious he felt like his plasmosphere was about to split open; his earlier concerned gaze had turned into a sour lemon color.

Why can't he have such a great opportunity to get up close and personal with the God of Games?

My heart aches so much!

Are we still partners in the same club? He actually abandoned me to meet with the God of Games.

He would be willing to shorten his lifespan by ten years if he had the chance to meet the God of Games.

It's a pity I didn't have that opportunity.

What's going on with these three girls? It seems like they're incredibly lucky. The more I want something, the more these three girls get it, while I, who wants it the most, get almost nothing.

Kazumi pouted and said, "So what? Even if you go, it won't change the situation. Game development is too difficult. There's no way we can handle it with just a few people."

"Huh? But didn't we make a hopscotch game before?"

"What's that? It's not interesting at all." Kazumi was speechless.

The three girls found the hopscotch game boring, but Tian Chong seemed quite excited when he saw the game he was participating in actually moving.

Sigh, sometimes I envy Tian Chong, that slow-witted guy, who can easily be happy over the smallest things.

"Tian Chong, don't you want to make better games? Like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time."

Tian Chong nodded vigorously: "Of course I want to, but how do I do that?"

He Mei stretched out her hand and said, "Take out fifty million US dollars first, and then we'll consider the game production issue."

Tian Chong was dumbfounded.

Several small game developers seem poised to back down due to the high investment required for games.

However, Aya Tsukino had a special fondness for these three girls, and she hoped that there would be more female developers like them.

So after the visit, she got the three girls' contact information and made an appointment with them to personally teach them over the next few days so that they could learn about game development in advance.

To her surprise, the three people who had agreed to attend the class never showed up, leaving Tsukino Aya puzzled and wondering what had happened.

If it were the Aya Tsukino of the past, she wouldn't have even taken the initiative to contact these three girls, even if she really wanted to.

But she has indeed changed. At home, wearing a very thin vest, Tsukino Aya couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial the number of one of the three people's homes.

Hello? Who is this?

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone; it must be Yin Jiang's mother.

"Hello, madam, my name is Tsukino Aya, and I'm Oto's good friend. Is she here now?"

"Ah, yes, please wait a moment."

Chapter 521 seems to have entered a vicious cycle.

521

"Bamboo Tour"

Da da da.

"hold head high?"

Da da da.

On the sofa in the living room of Takeyusei's home, Takeyusei and Tsukino Aya are engaged in a fierce battle.

Each of them held a controller and controlled a character. Takeyusei immediately chose Chun-Li, which was his favorite character, while Tsukino Aya chose Iori without hesitation.

Street Fighter began to promote a new model of online game updates through internet connectivity.

To encourage players to play online more often, they began to continuously introduce new and improved versions of games such as Street Fighter, Need for Speed, and Monster Hunter.

Introduce more characters in Street Fighter, update more supercars in Need for Speed, and add more monsters to hunt in Monster Hunter.

The response so far has been quite positive. Players who already had a certain level of experience were willing to upload their game data via the internet to obtain corresponding game achievements. Some game leaderboards also require an internet connection. Now, it's just a matter of adding a game update function.

The internet has now entered the era of 100 megabits for everyone, and gigabit speeds are not far away, so downloading game updates is a piece of cake.

The Street Fighter games currently being played by Takeyusei and Tsukino Ayami are the latest versions with some King of Fighters characters added.

Of course, The King of Fighters looks more fantastical than Street Fighter, but this also increases the appeal of Street Fighter, satisfying those who prefer cooler fighting moves. The only thing to consider is finding a balance between flashy special effects and visceral combat moves. Currently, this balance is well maintained; at least players in this world do not feel any disconnect between the characters, indicating that this aspect of balance has been well done.

“I’ve been in contact with those three girls recently, and they really want to become great game developers.”

"Oh? That's a good thing."

Takeyusei stared intently at the television, and now that he was about to gain a slight advantage, Chun-Li had begun to unleash a series of attacks, making it difficult for Tsukino Aya's Iori to cope.

Whenever Takeyusei plays Street Fighter with Tsukino Aya, he can't relax, because if he holds back even slightly, Tsukino Aya might win. Tsukino Aya seems to have a real talent for action fighting games. Her latest game, which is about to be released, has a very strong fighting style. Combined with the characteristics of a beautiful producer, it has gained a lot of fans. Even before its release, there is already a fan club dedicated to her game.

It's outrageous that a game can have a fan club; it's like a fandom.

Despite Takeyusei's relentless pressure in the game, Tsukino Aya remained calm, simply continuing to play while talking about her own things.

"However, they've been having a little trouble lately."

Da da da.

Despite Chun-Li's continuous attacks, Iori didn't suffer much damage; this attack was a minor loss for him.

Zhu Youxing was slightly disappointed.

"Next time you should use that move... Hmm? You just... Oh, you said you had some worries?"

It was clear that Takeyusei was no longer able to easily distract himself from chatting about other things with Tsukino Aya.

Seeing this, Tsukino Aya just snorted disdainfully and didn't say a word. Her gaze gradually became sharp, and then Yagami under her control seemed to have suddenly taken some kind of super tonic, and began to counterattack like a madman. The frequency of his attacks was something that no normal person could do.

As for Takeyusei, he was defeated without any chance to fight back. Seeing the word "KO" in big letters on the TV, Takeyusei was not too surprised.

Since the release of Street Fighter, Takeyusei has not gotten much of a good deal with Aya Tsukino.

In this world, his Street Fighter skills are quite close to those of professional gamers. This skill is the result of years of hard work and playing with thousands of game coins in arcades.

However, their talent is simply undeniable.

"Okay, it's over. What were you trying to say?"

Knowing that Tsukino Aya genuinely wanted to say something to him, Takeyusei stopped being nonchalant and looked at Tsukino Aya seriously.

Aya Tsukino was quite satisfied. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly for a moment before quickly falling back down. Then she said, "I said, those three girls have been having some troubles lately."

What kind of troubles?

"They seem to have been intimidated by the huge investment required for game development."

"Hmm? A huge investment in game development? They probably haven't even graduated high school yet, and they already want to make big-budget games?"
