  Chapter 1155 Time to take a vacation

  At the end of the meeting, it was a summary of game sales and a brief introduction of recent industry trends.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment's game sales are not very meaningful now, and Zhuyouxing no longer regards this as a game qualification standard, because Youxing Electronic Entertainment has grown to the point where any game that is not bad in quality can be won Pretty lucrative.

  At this time, Zhu Youxing realized that if these guys continue to use sales as the only consideration for game development, then everyone will definitely develop in the direction of lying flat.

  This is the reason why well-known game developers in the past and later developed games in a flat style.

  The volume is large enough, even if the game is almost reskinned compared to the previous game, it is still a big seller.

  The examples that must be mentioned here are FIFA, COD and other games.

  As long as they launch a sequel, sometimes even if there is no change in essence, they still have tens of millions of sales, which is very exaggerated.

   It seems that players buying their games have become a kind of inertia.

  So in order to avoid this from happening, Zhu Youxing will look for other game development assessment standards.

  The sales statistics at the meeting were simply some reports.

   What follows is the questionnaire about the players.

  This is the strategy Zhuyouxing is planning to implement recently. See if you can find some answers from the player questionnaires, some answers that can help the game continue to thrive.

  “Seventy percent of players want Final Fantasy 13versus to have a brand new battle mode, just like the previous Final Fantasy 7 remake. Obviously, there is a bigger market for real-time action combat games.”

   “Forty-five percent of gamers want a smartphone version of the Forza Horizon series, even if the graphics are worse.”

   percent…

  All kinds of data are presented in front of every participant, giving them some reference for later games.

"Recently, the number of game console players online at the same time has decreased, roughly to about 73% of what it was a month ago. We have also analyzed the specific reasons. It should be related to the current Olympic Games. Most of the attention, I think we should not waste too much money on publicity and promotion now, it is not worth the loss."

   "Then what shall we do next? Develop the game step by step?"

   "That's the only way, what else can I do besides this?"

  After the data report is over, the rest is the time for the participants to chat. This time is also a good opportunity for everyone to learn about the department's dynamics.

   Especially the dozen or so heads of the game development department, each of them chatted with each other like good friends, and at the same time exchanged their recent experiences on game development.

  Zhu Youxing heard something from the side.

   These guys seem to be a little absent-minded.

   But yes, most players and ordinary people have already been attracted by the heat of the Olympics, and their employees are also ordinary people, so naturally they are also interested in these hot news.

   "Hey, it seems that the Olympic Games at the end of this year have added some new competitions. It seems that there are skateboarding competitions and fast rock climbing. Have you paid attention?"

   "No, is this thing interesting?"

   "It's very interesting. I've been looking for relevant information for nothing recently. I've actually been thinking about making a game about extreme sports, and putting all the extreme sports games I'm familiar with into the game to experience."

   "Well, would anyone be interested in this kind of game?"

"I think there will be. First of all, you see, extreme sports themselves can stimulate people's adrenaline, so extreme sports themselves should also have this feature, coupled with the entertainment attributes and achievements that come with the game, let players every time Each stage has different rewards, so the basic structure of this game is completed."

"but…"

   "But what?"

   "I'm actually thinking about collecting more materials and taking the team to see more things about extreme sports, but there is really less time recently."

   "That's right, the pressure on game development is still quite high recently. The Resident Evil project on my side has just been approved, and all the work is about to start preparations."

   "My Monster Hunter is the same, and the new Monster Hunter game is also under development."

  Everyone showed a distressed look.

  Zhu Youxing saw it, and felt a little funny in his heart.

   All the words of these guys should be talking to themselves.

  They should really want to get permission from themselves, a permission to take a little vacation.

   And it happens to be during the Olympic Games at this time, so there is no need to say more about their purpose.

Zhu Youxing said: "Okay, you guys, stop pretending, and pretend to do this kind of thing in front of me. I'm not interested in seeing you acting here. There is still half a month before the opening of the Olympic Games. In the last half a month, get all the existing work done, don't leave a tail, let the work at least reach a level where it can be temporarily suspended, and the development will not be affected by the interruption, and then the whole company will take a vacation, and only the basic maintenance personnel will be retained. .”

  Everyone was overjoyed, obviously this strategy was successful, and they managed to get their president to listen carefully to their opinions.

   "Hey President, you are more reasonable. I have actually made an appointment with my wife and children to watch the Olympic Games together. Of course, my work will definitely not be delayed!"

   "The president and I will definitely not delay, and the work will be arranged step by step."

   "President, I can assure you that my game development plan will not be affected. Grand Theft Auto 5 will definitely be released next summer!"

At this moment, there are still several heads of the game development department in the United States. They participated in this meeting through remote calls, but in fact at least two of them are already in Japan, but they haven't dared to talk directly to Bamboo. You Xing confessed.

  Now that Zhu Youxing directly allowed them to take a good vacation, they felt at ease.

  Actually, Zhu Youxing also thinks it's time for a good vacation.

  Although the company has always adhered to the strategy of not working overtime easily in recent years, it has indeed had almost no formal rest time in recent years

  Only some official statutory holidays are still implemented.

  Obviously, there were still group holiday activities for some companies.

  The main reason is that the pace of game development is accelerating, and Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is also not exempt.

   And this time it happens to be during the Olympic Games, it seems that I really should take a vacation, and at the same time, I can also take a vacation.
