  Chapter 523 Indie games that are left out

  522

  Now the game developers in this world seem to have really stepped into a vicious circle.

   If Aya Tsukino didn't suddenly say this, Take Yusei would not have noticed it too much.

   This is not just the trouble of the three girls.

   It's not entirely because the three of them are a little too ambitious.

   is also partly due to the fact that the current environment is also a little bit toward the trend of touting big productions.

   However, this is actually unreasonable.

   The real benign cultural and entertainment industry is that there are audiences for both large-scale productions and small-cost independent productions.

  Especially independent production, can be on an equal footing with large-scale industrialized games in the entire industry. Independent games are not much worse than large-scale production games, and independent games also have their own significance.

  In the film industry, there is such a very benign system.

First, some little-known directors try some directions that big productions have never tried, and then make low-cost trial and error, and once independent films have achieved breakthrough results in a certain direction, big production films will follow. Afterwards, dig deeper in this area.

   In this way, low-cost independent films have the opportunity to shine on their own, and large-budget films can also have a very small cost to try out a film and television production direction with a higher chance of success.

   In this way, a very benign complement can be formed between independent films and big-budget films.

  This system is also applicable to the video game industry.

  The big game cannot be easily risked, because it involves hundreds of millions of dollars of funds.

   It is impossible for any capital to accept hundreds of millions of dollars in vain.

   So indie games go first, explore a successful path and then expand the big production games, this is a very good direction.

   However, the world is different.

  Indie game soil in this world is very shallow, it can even be said that there is almost none.

   Take Yuxing has tried to encourage individuals to develop games several times before, and has also held several game development theme competitions.

   But these have little effect. After having a certain game development foundation, most people will choose to join a game company directly, participate in the big production game, and become a screw in the big production game.

   Take Yusei appeared to be thinking very seriously for more than ten minutes, while Tsukino Aya patiently watched Take Yusei waiting for his answer.

Tsukino Aya knows Zhu Yuxing very well. When he is thinking seriously, he does not need to disturb him. He just needs to wait silently. He must be thinking intensely in his brain now, and he is probably thinking not only about his own questions. The problem is so simple, Zhu Yuxing obviously thought of other things through the distress of the three girls he said.

   "Color."

"Um?"

   "It seems... I'm taking game development in this world in a direction that I don't particularly want to see."

   Tsukino Aya was taken aback.

   She didn't realize what Zhu Yuxing was saying for a while.

   Zhu Yuxing murmured: "This world seems to lack the soil for independent game development. This is actually a little deformed and a little unreasonable."

   Tsukino Aya said with some incomprehension: "Why? Isn't the game industry booming now?"

   Zhu Yuxing nodded: "It's true but..."

   But this is based on his own continuous leadership in the industry.

   The game industry practitioners in this world regard themselves as a benchmark, thinking in their hearts that it is enough to learn from themselves, as long as they follow the path that Zhu Yuxing has already stepped on.

   Take Yuxing has truly become the godfather of the industry in the video game industry.

   However, this also caused many people to look at him, and only look at Zhu Yuxing.

   Naturally, this has brought unparalleled influence to Take Yusei. In the video game industry, he has the highest voice, and people regard everything he has said as a bible.

   The light on his body was too dazzling, making everyone ignore the occasional flashes of light under the light.

   But after all, he is only a human being, and he is not a real god.

  His strength is limited, and now he can continue to innovate, but when his inspiration is also exhausted, those who have been watching him will probably fall into a state of daze in an instant.

   At that time, Zhu Yuxing even felt that the entire industry would bring a lot of turmoil.

   This is not an exaggeration, but it is very likely to happen.

  The most successful people are also gradually declining. Does that indicate that the game industry will also come to an end? So the development potential of this industry will end here?

  Perhaps when he cannot surpass himself again and again, he may cause turbulence no less than the collapse of Atari in his previous life.

Of course, this possibility is actually very low. Zhu Yuxing, who has decades of game development history in his previous life, may not be able to present all the high-quality games of his previous life to people in this world. He should not need to worry about it. These things.

   However, for the entire industry, it is still not good, and we must find a way to change it.

At this time, Zhu Yuxing finally came back to his senses and looked at Tsukune Aya, who had been watching him silently. At this time, Zhu Yuxing suddenly felt a very touching emotion in his heart. It was a very rare emotion after coming to this world. He seemed to There was a slight urge to do something, but he quickly suppressed his thoughts on this aspect of the game.

   "A Cai, as I said just now, the game industry should not develop like this, and we should find a way to give independent games a certain right to speak."

   Take Yuxing's first thought was to use his fame to encourage more game developers to develop independent games.

   But that's not enough, it's just encouragement. It's like a chance to hope that a super genius will suddenly pop up from the indie game circle and develop a blockbuster super indie game.

   If Zhu Yuxing did this, he might as well spend his own money to buy lottery tickets.

   Hearing Zhu Yuxing's words, Tsukino Aya just asked indifferently: "What do you want to do?"

"I think..." Zhu Yuxing's eyes gleamed, "I don't need to develop a game under my own name, and I only develop it with my own strength, without relying on anyone, just like when I first created the FC game console. Again, all game development is done by myself."

   From music, to art, to programming, level design, and gameplay design, Zhu Yuxing participated in the whole process, creating an independent game that only he participated in.

   And this kind of blockbuster top-level independent game developed by one person has already thought of one, and it should be very suitable for this world at the moment.

  In his brain, a simple 2D character, a hoe, and a picture of a letter appeared in his mind.

   The name of this game is: Stardew Valley.
