  Chapter 173 Conditions for opening the US market

  If you want to open up the market in the United States, Street Fighter will really have miraculous effects.

   But in the United States, the audience of gun car **** will obviously be larger.

   So in addition to Street Fighter, Zhu Yuxing also arranged for two or three team members to enter into different game development after the development of the next game.

   Among them, gun games can be put aside for the time being, until the 3D graphics engine is truly mature, and the 32-bit game console of its own is released.

  The car and the ball can be arranged first.

   The first Zero race car was very good.

You can make a new modern-style racing game directly from the underlying code of this game, and reuse the repetitive racing program code, which can save a lot of things, which is almost equivalent to the prototype of the game engine , saving repetitive work and time in game development.

  If possible, try to find some well-known car companies for authorization by the way. On the one hand, you can play games to help promote car brands, and on the other hand, your own racing games can highlight the realism.

   Take Yuxing also handed over this matter directly to Matsuhashi, so that she can also help herself with some game development tasks after she goes to the United States.

   As for the ball, Zhu Yuxing hardly hesitated and was ready to play the game of street basketball.

   In the arcade field of the previous life, street basketball was not only popular in the United States, but also very popular in China.

  Because at that time, there was a basketball boom in China, and the post-90s and post-80s were the main audience.

   If there is no street basketball game in any arcade hall, the traffic will inevitably decrease by about 10%.

  In the United States, basketball is almost equal to the national game, and its status is second only to American football, which is rugby.

   And the NBA is the most popular viewing all year round, perhaps not comparable to the Super Bowl football game, but it also dominates one side.

   If there is a chance in the future, Take Yusei will definitely play a rugby game.

   Rugby games and basketball games are released in the United States, just like baseball games in Japan, they are all games that can make money while lying down.

  After all the following work has been arranged, the employees began to enter the intensive work.

   This time, the work arranged by Zhu Yuxing was quite tense, and they could clearly see that the president attached great importance to entering the US market.

   And now they all have a certain sense of belonging in the company, and naturally they will also have plans to make a good break in the US market.

   So I work even harder.

   However, this kind of hard work does not feel very tiring, on the contrary, it will feel very fulfilling, and it seems that life is full of expectations.

  During this process, Matsuhashi finally packed his bags and set foot on the plane to the United States, accompanied by two helpers whom Matsuhashi had recruited before.

  The next priority for them in the United States is to prepare for the various procedures for starting a company, and to recruit more competent programmers locally.

   It is a pity that Take Yusei is a parallel world.

   Otherwise, he can directly recruit a group of programmers from the United States through the names of people he is familiar with in his previous life.

  What John Carmack, Richard Straman or something.

  Right now, I can only see Matsuhashi's eyes.

   On the Japanese side, the fourth game development team has entered the development stage of Street Fighter.

   First, there are various character portraits of Street Fighter.

   Now that there are full-time royal painters in the company, Zhu Yuxing directly called three or four of them together to draw various standing pictures of Street Fighter.

   And Zhu Yuxing's request is to try to westernize as much as possible, and European and American fighters should occupy more than half of the number.

   At the same time, some classic characters, such as Chunli, Long and other characters Zhu Yuxing, directly designate the image, while others let the artists draw with their own imagination, without deliberately pushing towards the original image of Street Fighter.

   Then, Zhu Yuxing began to ask a full-time composer to compose the background music of Street Fighter, and he went back and forth for a whole month.

Other employees basically complete their work on time and then leave work at the designated time. In Zhu Youxing's company, he does not recommend overtime culture. In terms of cultural creativity, employees should still be given enough rest time. When they are full of inspiration, the next day they can start work with more energy.

   But Zhu Yuxing himself lived directly in the company.

   During the day, he tracks the progress of the work with the person in charge of each company team.

   In the evening, he continued to arrange work for the next day, often working until late at night.

   Anyway, it is his own company, and he is also strengthening himself by working hard.

   If he had worked for others, he would have quit long ago.

After such a busy month, the second and third game development teams have released a bomberman game and a new girl dress-up game for girls. Zhu Yuxing plans to do this category in the future. Now I feel that maybe It hasn't improved yet, but Zhu Yuxing is always reluctant to give up the female player group easily.

  Sometimes they are more generous when they are willing to spend money, but there is a lack of an opportunity enough to make them completely tempted by video games, just wait slowly.

   After the second and third development teams completed the research and development work at hand, they all entered the plan arranged by Zhu Yuxing.

   The second group is responsible for the realistic racing game, which is directly named: Need for Speed.

Although the real first-generation Need for Speed ​​was actually released after the 3D game appeared, now SFC can also achieve a similar picture, but it's still a little bad, but that doesn't matter, anyway, people in this world I don't know Need for Speed ​​at all, so I'll make a name for myself first.

   As for the issue of car brand licensing, the actual talk at Songqiao in the United States was not smooth.

  People in the United States have absolutely no understanding of Japanese video games, and they cannot accept free licenses.

   It's just that the lions of the American car manufacturers have a big mouth. The car brand authorization starts at at least five million US dollars. They also need to open it to the public to attract other similar game manufacturers to bid together. In the end, the highest price wins, which makes Zhu Yuxing directly choose to give up.

At the same time, all these arrogant American car factories are recorded in a small notebook. Although this kind of thing will not go to the back for revenge, but if you want to talk about authorized cooperation with yourself in the future, it is that they are begging for yourself, and he has to Just breathe out.

Compared with the United States, the negotiation between the Japanese car factories is obviously much smoother. Perhaps it is related to the fact that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is becoming more and more popular among the crowd. They can also see that video games are also a good publicity channel. The car brand is happy to agree.

   A total of three Japanese car manufacturers have been discussed, and they are also the three largest original car companies in this parallel world.
