Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 54 New Project Plan

   At Tsukano Aya's house, she wears very little as usual. Only at home will she feel safe and feel that she can wear less.

   And she just squatted on the chair, flipping through all the posts related to game consoles and Super Baseball without blinking.

   This is the first time she has participated in making a game. She was still so nervous when it was released. She always hoped to see someone give some praise to this game on the Internet.

   But after a whole day of release, the Internet looked calm, as if the game had never been released.

   In a certain forum, the game console partition created by the popularity of game consoles is also very quiet today.

Where have everyone gone?

  Isn’t it… Are you going to buy the latest games?

   Tsukino Aya thought so in her heart, but she couldn't believe it.

  If so many people are willing to buy online, then maybe people who don’t go online will buy more?

  No, this game is not that fun.

   Tsukino Aya is not the audience of sports games, but making games and experiencing games are two different feelings.

   She enjoys the moment when the game is made and it runs successfully, which represents a world being created in her own domain.

   is like the creator.

   This is more fun than the game itself.

   There are people who have the same nervousness as her, and the dozens of employees who participated in the game production together.

   In the process of going to work all day, they will keep inquiring about the sales process of each store.

   When they hear that there are many people in line, they will breathe a sigh of relief, but they will start to worry about the quality of the game itself.

   Zhu Yuxing, who came to the company, laughed for a while when he saw the nervousness of this group of people.

   "Everyone."

   Take Yuxing stood in front of the desk on the second floor and clapped his hands, so that these programmers could focus their attention.

   "I know what you're worried about right now, but what I'm trying to say is that making a game is sometimes not just about the initial release."

   Everyone raised their heads and looked at Zhu Yuxing suspiciously.

  What do you see without looking at the initial release of the game?

   "It's like a brand new TV series, a brand new product. It may not be popular at first, and it also needs word-of-mouth fermentation. Sometimes your hard work may not really pay off."

   "Game production also has a lot of uncertainty, and sometimes some games will become popular for no reason."

   "Did you find the game interesting when you were playing?"

   Everyone nodded.

   They really felt the fun from the game.

   "That's enough, just like a work of art, a game is also a kind of art, I would like to call it the ninth art, and art, the first thing to do is to impress yourself first, and then impress others."

   "As long as you impress yourself enough, then you're halfway there."

   "The president, what about the other half?" a programmer asked loudly.

   "The other half, it's up to the players. No one can grasp this, but one thing to remember is that respecting the players is the most important thing. If this is done, the chance of success for the other half will be greatly improved."

   With the words of Zhu Yuxing, it is not enough to completely relieve their hearts, but at least they can feel at ease.

   Maybe you really don’t have to be so nervous and anxious.

   "Okay, about the Super Baseball Tournament project, it's time to come to an end. Next, we will have more brand-new projects."

   Zhu Yuxing came here to cheer them on with a purpose. He wanted these people to regroup and not be trapped in a circle. Hiring these employees by himself did not end by letting them make a game.

   "I will separate you this time. It's really a waste of manpower to make a game with fifty or sixty people. What I need is to spread you out."

   During the first month of game production, Zhu Yuxing could also observe some of them who really have the ability to make games.

   Just like the producer of a Japanese TV series, he is responsible for the overall planning and **** for the TV series.

   After a game is made, it is clear that some people are already emerging.

   I don’t say that I can be alone, but I can already do the corresponding work according to my own guidance, and I will occasionally shine.

   Next, he plans to directly divide into several production teams to make games separately.

   "Zhang Ben-kun, Miyaji-kun, Ohara-kun, and... Twenty of you are temporarily divided into the second game development team. Next, I will give you the production direction. You will be responsible for the production of the rocket car game."

"Ishigaki-san, Shimokawa-kun... The fifteen of you will be in charge of a long-term project, which is the sequel to Dragon Quest. It may take half a year or even a year to make it, and you need to be patient enough. "

"There are the remaining computer electronics engineers, Hayasawa Airi will lead you to be responsible for the development of game consoles. Game consoles not only need the main body, but also some additional peripherals to improve the game console. I have given the specific research plan to Miss Airi Hayasawa, and she will work with you all."

   Take Yusei soon divided everyone into roughly three groups.

   Then he plans to wait for these people to complete the production of the game within a year, and then he can expand his manpower again, and let some of the current people serve as producers again, branch out and be responsible for more types of games at the same time.

  The staff assigned to the producer position looked excited.

   This means that their work has been valued and paid attention to, but at the same time their responsibilities are heavier than before.

   Once people start to feel pressured, their previous concerns about game sales data are slowly diminishing, and they begin to invest in new projects.

   After arranging the next work plans of these employees, Zhu Yuxing began to read the latest newspaper.

  The red and white machine has gradually become a popular product within a month.

  The discussion has also started to increase, and now it doesn’t take a lot of advertising to start making an impact.

   One newspaper even had a column about red and white machines.

   In this column, there are explanations and recommendations about the introduction of red and white machine games, just like the recommendations of TV series and other sections.

  Tokyo Asahi Shimbun.

   This is one of the giants in the Japanese newspaper industry. The daily circulation of morning and evening papers has reached tens of millions, ranking among the top three in the world.

   is really enviable. This kind of sales can easily crush any industry, and the profit margin and penetration rate are also scary.

  Unfortunately, games and TV dramas and other industries are extremely time-consuming products, and they can't be compared with the newspaper industry.

   But speaking of it, it seems that I can really consider creating a special game magazine, which will also increase the stickiness of gamers.

   Well, maybe I can discuss with Daigo Ikeda.

   By the way, I would like to ask Tsuguya Sansuke’s current situation and feedback from readers.
