   Chapter 386 Running wildly in an outrageous direction

  The total development time of this handheld is up to two years.

  After the successful construction of Yuxing's new building two years later, the new handheld will be officially released as a way to celebrate.

   Therefore, Zhu Yuxing asked the engineering development department to develop a game development kit for the new handheld as soon as possible, so that his own game development team could develop new games on the new handheld as soon as possible.

   An initial version of the new handheld development component is initially scheduled to be given within two months.

   Now the average development time of a game has been stretched to more than one year.

  Most of the employees also think that the development time of one year can be said to be just right, they will not be too tired, and they can give full play to their creativity.

   They also feel that one year of game development time is already quite a long time.

   But this is because they haven't really experienced how complicated the production process of the top 3A games in the future is, otherwise they wouldn't think that a year of game development time is already very long.

   After the meeting, Zhu Yuxing went directly to the game development floor. He was going to see some of the recent game development progress of the game development teams.

  The first development team has been working **** Dragon Quest.

   And at the suggestion of Take Yusei, he started to create some derivative games in the IP of Dragon Quest.

   They are just developing a Dragon Quest business simulation game recently.

   tells the story of a shop dedicated to providing all services to heroes around the world in a parallel time and space.

  Any hero from different time and space can come to this store unintentionally to choose their own products.

   This means that the heroes of all series can come out to make a linkage. When this game was just announced, it was quite interesting to players.

  Seriously, Zhu Yuxing is also very interested, and he is also waiting to play.

  Dragon Quest in the previous life has never developed a business simulation game, so it is quite special. It is a unique creation in this world, so Zhu Yuxing will be interested.

   And he is the boss, so he can play in advance at any time, but in order to maintain a sense of expectation, Zhu Yuxing decided to wait for the game to be truly developed before experiencing it, and forget it as a semi-finished product.

   The second, third, and fourth development teams are usually dedicated to developing various independent IP works that were popular in the past life for Zhu Yuxing, which is the kind of IP that usually only produces one or two works.

   Then occasionally Take Yusei will assign the three teams to develop the Mario series.

   As the signboard of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it must have enough senior developers to participate in the development, otherwise it is not a good thing to lose word of mouth.

   Mario in his previous life didn't have much word-of-mouth corruption, and Zhu Yuxing didn't want to come to this world and lose face.

   Now their three teams are developing several previously niche sports games, including Hot Blood Series and Super Baseball.

   The fifth development team is now working on a new Final Fantasy title, but not Final Fantasy 8.

   Final Fantasy 8 may not be as famous as Final Fantasy 7 in the original world, but it is also a boutique game, and it also inherits high-quality CG animation and plot.

   But this does not require Zhuyouxing to participate in the development, he only needs to give the general settings, and let them create the rest by themselves.

   The development cycle of Final Fantasy 8 is bound to be very long, so you can also make some derivative works during this process.

   For example, Final Fantasy Tactics A, which was once very popular on the GBA.

The strategy version directly overturns the previous turn-based combat gameplay of Final Fantasy, and uses a brand-new form of battle chess gameplay, which makes it easier to play. Coupled with the image of the Q version, it has attracted a wave of new fans of the Final Fantasy series. .

   It happens that the first development team is also preparing to register the Dragon Quest business simulation game on GBA. The two sides are planning to compete internally from different angles, which will also promote the ability of the two development teams to improve.

The sixth development team has no game development plans recently. They recently launched a game that uses somatosensory shooting on the GS1. This team likes game development on various new technologies, and Zhu Yuxing also encourages different teams. different styles.

   The seventh and ninth teams are basically all out of the company. They seem to be going out to do pre-development research on various games.

   For example, some people seem to go to a kendo gym to learn kendo, some go to mountain climbing, and some go to play parkour.

   When Street Fighter was developed before, there were many employees in the two teams, and under the concept of Zhu Yuxing, if you want to develop an excellent game, you should first learn the related majors of this game.

  If you want to create a new fighting game, then go and learn new fighting moves.

   Obviously these employees listened, so they decided to go out collectively to collect materials.

   Take Yusei seriously suspects that they are going out with pay.

   But that's not a problem, as long as they make a good game, it doesn't matter what they do.

   And the eighth development team is even more exaggerated. Recently, the engineering development department has just developed a racing steering wheel handle suitable for GS1. After several iterations, this steering wheel handle can be said to be excellent enough.

   Now these guys are addicted to playing the latest Need for Speed ​​with the steering wheel on the GS1.

  Take Yusei stood behind them and they didn't even notice, they were still playing the racing game together.

Zhu Yuxing gradually felt that these employees seemed to be running in an outrageous direction, but this is also the company's cultural state. It is easy to work, but it is also necessary to be serious and focused when developing games. Zhu Yuxing generally does not impose too many restrictions. .

   And the last tenth development team is a lot more normal.

   They happen to be in a critical stage of development.

  The original Wario production gave them a lot of creative inspiration, and they started to use their brains to create more interesting games.

   This development team is also the one with the least participation by Take Yusei. He just hopes that this team can have more ideas of his own.

   And the game they recently developed is a game that can use the somatosensory function of GS1 to do sports. What they do every day is to work **** the numerical adjustment of somatosensory.

  Somatosensory sports games are also one of the development directions of GS1. The purpose is to target those non-player groups. Zhu Yuxing has always encouraged groups to develop more similar games. The tenth group is obviously very interested.

After roughly inspecting the status of the ten groups, Zhu Yuxing felt that his company should be relatively stable. Although some groups are doing a bit outrageous things, the problems are not too big. Then, since the employees are all Very safe, should I also consider making a new game?

   What to do?

   Take Yuxing began to think seriously.
