Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

But why are you getting involved in the real economy again?

Is it so easy to enter the physical industry?

However, Facebook is indeed very wealthy.

Facebook now boasts a market capitalization of hundreds of billions of dollars, and countless people are still spending money hoping to board this giant ship.

So if Bob really needs money to do something, that's perfectly fine.

Of course, his decisions inevitably faced obstruction from some shareholders.

What they are really looking for is stability.

Facebook's current stable development is already generating enormous profits, so there's absolutely no need for it to expand into new business lines.

Online shopping, video platforms, and live streaming platforms—except for the latter—are all starting to generate stable cash flow. Live streaming websites have recently gained fame due to the recent fall of Titan, with countless viewers willing to actively watch Facebook's live streaming pages, making future profitability very promising.

Now that he's suddenly launching a new project that seems to have no future, they're genuinely worried that Bob will mess things up.

But Bob's decisions have always been quite correct, and they have almost no reason to stop him from taking this risk.

With Bob's absolute voting rights, the new mobile phone business unit was quickly established.

Furthermore, to amplify his influence, Bob proactively announced his ambitions for the mobile phone manufacturing business in various media outlets, aiming to capture more than half of the market share in the mobile phone industry.

This naturally alerted Myron Keith, the CEO of Mikefu.

But Bob hasn't revealed enough yet. Mobile phone development is a very long-term process. It's not like you can set up a department now and have a finished mobile phone developed in a couple of days. It takes a lot of time.

So Mikelford may not have much to worry about now, but they definitely need to be prepared for the future.

Of course, these are things Bob needs to worry about. Zhu Youxing only needs to give Bob a clear direction and then he can just leave it to him. If Bob still can't beat Myron Case with clear guidance, then it proves that he really doesn't have any talent in this area. At worst, he can just settle for cooperating with Morgan Group.

Now, Zhuyouxing is preparing for the production and release of a new game.

After Titanfall was completed, the US team took a short break.

During this break, the team will first maintain the number of online players for Titanfall, and strive to make Titanfall's online game mode break a record and become a new e-sports title.

They spent over a year working on Titanfall, which was indeed very demanding.

Even with a normal get off work schedule, it's still a bit overwhelming.

They can take a short break while maintaining the Titanfall online mode.

Game development is still ongoing in Japan.

Following Titanfall were the two main games, Civilization and Monster Hunter, along with a few slightly lesser titles released alongside them.

The theme for this year's BlizzCon is Titanfall, but new games will definitely be announced.

The Civilization series is included in this announcement.

The Civilization series trailers released at Carnival include many famous civilizations around the world. The game does not have any strict plot restrictions, and players can develop the game however they want, which gives them a lot of freedom.

The conditions for victory are also diverse. Victory can be achieved through technological development, conquest, or forming alliances.

In short, the diverse development directions made the work "Civilization" very interesting to many people when it was released.

Is Chapter 685 difficult enough?

In addition to the mainstream games from these gaming companies, Zhuyouxing also has a game development project, which has recently entered the second half of its development phase.

The three girls have been working non-stop lately.

The three of them were extremely eager to succeed, especially Aiko herself, who slept only about three hours a day, almost to the point of cultivating immortality.

However, perhaps because she is young enough, she was only a little tired from all the exertion.

But when she saw that the game was almost finished, she still smiled with satisfaction.

"Kazumi, Oto-chan, get up quickly! Today is the last day for us to test the game. After the test is successful, we should hand in the final report to Takeyu-sensei!"

Aiko rushed into Kazumi and Oto's bedroom and woke up the two girls who were still fast asleep.

Now, each of the three girls is quite wealthy. In order to cooperate anytime and anywhere when developing games, the three of them chose to rent a detached villa near the school.

The rent would probably make even white-collar workers gasp, but the three of them didn't care much about the amount of money.

Each month, they often earn more than three million yen after tax from the game Farm Defense. In addition, the three girls have no family burdens. When the game was popular, each of the three girls had more than 50 million yen in savings, so they naturally lived a very carefree life.

Aiko first went to Kazumi's bedroom, which was a pink bedroom. The whole room was pink, and Kazumi was probably the most girlish of the three.

But Aiko doesn't care whether she has a girlish heart or not; right now, she's going to get all these lazybones up!

So she rushed to Hemei's bedside, pulled back the covers, and saw Hemei lying face down on the bed in a starfish shape, half asleep. She was chuckling to herself, and no one knew what she was dreaming about.

Seeing this, Aiko didn't hesitate to raise her hand and slap Hemi's buttocks hard. The sound was accompanied by a pig-like scream almost at the same time.

Kazumi, clutching her bottom and with tears streaming down her face, jumped out of bed, then said in a fit of exasperation, "Aiko, are you kidding me?! I was so close to... successfully going on a date with her!"

"Hmm? You went on a date with whom?" Aiko frowned, feeling like she heard a familiar name.

Kazumi seemed to realize she had misspoke and immediately said with a normal expression, "Nobody, just a movie star."

"Can you stop having those pointless dreams? Get up now, we need to complete the final test of the game!"

Kazumi, who had already been woken up, was still a little unhappy.

Even though her dream had reached its final stage, and she could almost hear him say "I agree," she was ruthlessly woken up by her son. It was so painful!

However, it was impossible for her to go back and have the same dream again, so she reluctantly got out of bed.

Then Aiko went to Oto's bedroom to wake her up.

However, perhaps because she heard the pig-like screams from next door, Oto-chan has also woken up and is changing her clothes by the bedside.

Yin Jiang calmly said, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Seeing this, Aiko stopped disturbing them and turned to go to the living room, saying, "Come here quickly. After we finish the final game test, we should hand the game over to Mr. Takeyu."

After waiting a few more minutes, Kazumi and Oto-chan came out of their respective bedrooms and then went to the living room together.

At this moment, Aiko was already busy in front of the computer, the sound of her typing on the keyboard filling the air.

Yin-chan asked in confusion, "Aiko, haven't we already finished the game?"

Aiko replied without looking up, "I want to make it more perfect. Games can always be made better, even if it's just a slight improvement in the graphics."

Both Yinjiang and Hemei were speechless.

Aiko really cares too much about success.

However, it is perhaps precisely because of Aiko's personality that her team has been able to quickly accumulate fame.

This game, which we are working on in collaboration with Takeyusei, was initially proposed by Aiko, and Takeyusei provided some game ideas.

If it weren't for Aiko, Takeyusei might not have thought of collaborating with three girls to create a game.

Originally, Zhu Youxing should have had better options.

Yinjiang and Kazumi sat on either side of Aiko. Kazumi was eating a leftover rice ball from yesterday.

"Alright, it's finished. You guys try it out. I feel the game is pretty good now, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I'd like to hear your opinions."

Aiko withdrew her hands from the keyboard and showed the two the main interface displayed on the computer.

Dead Cells, that's the final name for the game.

Kazumi initially disliked the name because the word "death" always felt a bit scary.

But she seems to have gotten used to it now.

Death fits the gameplay style quite well.

The game's style revolves around growth through repeated deaths, ultimately leading to a sufficiently powerful character.

Yinjiang took the laptop first and then clicked the option to start the game.

Soon, a writhing mass of flesh appeared on the screen.

Because the game's visuals are pixelated, even the gore and flesh that might subconsciously feel disgusting are completely acceptable.

Even Kazumi could calmly watch this scene.

To present this slightly creepy but not scary style, He Mei, the full-time designer, has racked her brains countless times. She even feels that her hair has thinned a lot during this period, and she is considering eating more hair-nourishing supplements to get it back.

Yinjiang quickly entered the game interface.

Yinjiang was already very familiar with the game's control scheme, having played it quite a bit when it was still a work in progress.

Right now, we can only experience the full game content.

After playing Deathmatch seriously for a few minutes, Yin-chan put down the keyboard, nodded, and said, "It's already very good. I can't find any fault with it now. I think I can show it to Takeyu-sensei."

While eating her rice ball, Kazumi mumbled, "Don't you guys think the game is a bit too difficult? The monsters deal so much damage. Won't it be that because the difficulty is too high, it will eventually become like Monster Hunter, making it hard to attract players to buy it?"

Aiko said, "I also think it's a bit difficult, but this is a request that Teacher Takeyu specifically made, so I feel that we shouldn't change too much in this regard."

Chapter 686 Believe in Your Work

Kazumi said, "Anyway, I probably wouldn't consider playing this kind of game, unless it includes farming elements."

Both Oto and Aiko were speechless. Kazumi really always wanted to add farming elements to the game.

"Forget about farming. Teacher Zhuyou has also said that this game is not suitable for adding such elements. Growth and death are the core of this game. Adding too much extra content will make the game itself too long."

These are Takeyusei's original words, and Aiko actually agrees with them.

If she had the choice, she definitely wouldn't consider adding any extra features to the game beyond the current gameplay.

However, it must be said that the difficulty is indeed quite high.

Will it really become as unpopular as Monster Hunter?

Yin Jiang said, "Never mind those things. At least we've completed all the tasks that Teacher Zhu You assigned us, which means we've fulfilled all his requirements."

"Alright then, let's upload this game to Teacher Zhuyou and see his evaluation."

After saying that, Aiko opened her email page and uploaded the now-completed dead cell to Takeyusei.
