Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Even though Zhu Youxing was an outsider, he still felt that it was indeed a bit outrageous.

But considering that this is someone my mom recommended, they must be quite capable.

"for you."

Zhu Youxing pushed the paper and pen on his desk over directly.

Without hesitation, Yoshida Mika picked up a pen and paper and began to draw rapidly at her desk.

Zhu Youxing also craned his neck to look.

Then he saw a very magical scene.

On a blank sheet of paper, Mika Yoshida sketched a woman with graceful movements with just a few simple strokes.

Although the image is still very rough, the few strokes drawn can be described as perfect.

Chapter 724 A Minor Accident

Bayonetta truly lives up to her reputation as a student from Tokyo University of the Arts.

She is also quite talented, especially in painting.

In just a short while, she had sketched out several classic images of Bayonetta, the protagonist of Bayonetta.

Now, all we need to do is start modeling based on this shape.

Indeed, we still need to find ways to discover talented people.

"You've been hired. Your salary will be calculated as that of a full-time game art designer. If you can prove your abilities with these two projects, your salary can be further increased."

Takeyusei really wanted Yoshida Mika to stay.

Mika Yoshida was also pleasantly surprised; she was very happy to be hired by the company she admired.

Especially now that he seems to have gained the approval of Zhu Youxing, a godfather-like figure in the gaming industry, this is even more remarkable.

Mika Yoshida asked, "So, can I start working officially right away?"

"Are you still studying?"

"Yes, I haven't graduated yet, but you can rest assured, Senior Takeyu, if you assign me a job, I will definitely do my best to complete it according to your requirements!"

Zhu Youxing said, "It's okay. Game development isn't something that can be done overnight. The cycle is much longer than you think. Usually, when we release a new game, we only announce it after a lot of content has been completed. Only a few times do we need to announce it in advance. These games haven't been officially and fully announced yet, so you have plenty of time."

"I understand! Please witness my performance, Senior Bamboo Swimming!"

We now have a qualified character designer.

Of course, this is still not enough. In addition to character designers, there are also art designers for scenes, props, etc.

Games today are different from those of the past.

Modern games are becoming more industrialized, rather than simply operating as small workshops. The division of labor must be detailed to maximize the quality of the games.

Next, Zhu Youxing began searching for several other art designers.

However, this is much simpler than finding a character designer.

The scene design, props, monsters and other designs only need to revolve around the main character. Mika Yoshida will be the main designer of NieR: Automata and Bayonetta. She is the most important one.

After the art design was done, the next step was to get the musicians.

With a professional in-house musician, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can now simply fulfill its own needs.

At this point, the development of Bayonetta and NieR: Automata also began to get on track.

The development of Monster Hunter World is also gradually entering a critical period.

Meanwhile, the various shady characters outside are still spreading their ideas everywhere, with topics such as environmental protection, animal protection, and human rights becoming frequently discussed recently.

Zhuyouxing ignored this completely, and other game companies seem to have temporarily entered a quiet period as well.

They no longer yielded to these loud voices, but instead awaited the final outcome of the battle between Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and these guys.

If even Yusei Electronics Entertainment has to back down and is ultimately forced to develop games that fit these people's expectations, then that might represent the future direction of video games.

However, at this time, a small incident occurred.

He was an elderly man, probably over sixty years old.

He had a child late in life, but the child died in an accident, causing the tragedy of a parent outliving their child.

Many people are saddened by this tragedy, but people are also forgetful. There are many such tragedies online, and not everyone can remember these stories forever.

However, this time the tragedy took a rather unexpected turn.

The old man's name was Anthony, and he was a typical American.

While sorting through his child's belongings, he found the game console his child used to play.

That game console was the previous generation GS1 from Yuxing Electronics Entertainment.

It contains many traces left by children when they played games.

He also recalled frequently arguing with his children about video games.

However, he now has no chance of arguing with his children.

He thought that if his child could come back to life, he would never argue with him about video games again.

No matter what happens to the child, as long as he is alive, that's all that matters. Whether he is successful or not, or whether he will have a good future, is no longer important. He only hopes that his child is still alive.

Looking at this game console will make the old man sad.

He originally intended to burn it.

But on that day, relatives and friends came to his house to mourn, and one of the relatives' children really wanted the game console, so the old man softened and gave it to the child.

He had thought that this matter would end there, and that he would live out his days alone and leave this world in desolation.

However, one day, the child suddenly came to the door and returned the game console and a bunch of game discs.

The old man was puzzled.

But what the child said next left a deep impression on him.

“Uncle Anthony, I often hear my parents talk about my brother Anthony. They say that ever since Anthony left, you have always hoped that Anthony would come back. So I was thinking that maybe I have a way to bring Anthony back, or at least a part of him.”

Without saying another word, the child turned on the game console in front of Mr. Anthony and inserted one of the Need for Speed ​​game discs.

"What are you trying to do?" Anthony still couldn't understand the child's actions.

The child simply manipulated the controller skillfully and switched the screen to a single-player track challenge level.

“Uncle Anthony, look, this is Brother Anthony.”

The child held the controller and pointed at the transparent image of a race car appearing on the television screen.

Anthony stared at the screen.

He seemed to have some kind of premonition.

"You mean, that's Anthony?"

"That's right. There's a challenge level in this game that records the images of people who have played the game before. So, these are images of the game that Anthony's brother played before."

Anthony looked somewhat dazed.

The child then skillfully started driving his car and quickly caught up with the transparent racing car.

He followed them all the way to the finish line of the race.

"What about the race car?" Old Master Anthony became anxious as soon as he saw the transparent image suddenly disappear.

"Don't worry, Uncle Anthony, there's more."

After he finished speaking, the child ran the race track, and then a leaderboard was displayed.

The first name on the list is none other than Carmelo Anthony's son, Carmelo Anthony Jr.

Chapter 725 A Deeply Touching Story

“Uncle Anthony, you just need to do it like this, that’s right, just like that, and you can keep looking at the image in front of you.”

"You...you're saying this is Anthony?"

"Of course! Didn't you just see his name? He's in first place. Only the first place can have the racing footage. Of course, don't surpass that footage, because once you do, the game's footage will become yours."

Since the death of his child, Anthony has never been as emotional as he is today.

That was just an image in a game, but... it was indeed proof that the child once existed.

It's like seeing your own child on a videotape; it's a unique memory.

"Uncle Anthony, it's not just this game, there are several other games where Brother Anthony is also involved!"

"Show me right now!"

Mr. Anthony can't wait any longer.

The child immediately and skillfully switched to another game.

In the world of Dragon Quest, there is a hero named Anthony who is exploring the world.

In Mario Kart, there is a racer named Anthony who has all the characters.

Similar racing footage can be seen in Mario Kart, where another version of Anthony can be seen.

Finally, he saw a video in a light gun shooting game.

That was recorded by the capture camera that came with the GS1 light gun.

That's Anthony Jr., my own child.

He grinned triumphantly, holding the light gun in a victory pose.

That must be a video recording from after completing a light gun game.

When he saw the video of Carmelo Anthony, the father who hadn't shed a single tear even when his child was buried in the ground suddenly burst into tears.
