  Chapter 73 The 'first' good game in this world

  After the first week of Super Mario 3's fierce sales, the red and white machine once again earned a wave of eyeballs.

   At this time, players can't tell what kind of gameplay is fun and what's not fun, they only know what can bring them happiness.

   Therefore, even the things that are asked in the current questionnaire are basically useless.

   Only when the later generations really become a system, like a Hollywood blockbuster, can it really be possible to research what can become popular and what will be unpopular.

   Second week of Super Mario 3 sales: 73,424 copies.

   Week 3 Super Mario 3 sales: 52,342 copies.

  Super Mario sold 200,000 copies in three weeks at a rapid pace.

   No one would not like such a rich game world.

   And the programmers of Suri Electronics want to make the same scale as Super Mario 3, the performance of the current game console is not good at all, at least it has to be upgraded by another gear.

   It's not that they can't create such a game, but it's possible to give them a year or two, but their boss only gave them a month.

   It is impossible to create such a game in a month.

   That is simply not something that humans can do.

  You ask me how Youxing Electronic Entertainment was made?

   I refuse to answer this question.

   The sales record of red and white machines has also reached 400,000 units, and it has begun to spread to half of the cities in Japan, and more and more stores selling red and white machines have begun.

   This is an obvious opportunity to make money. No one is willing to give up. More and more electronic speaker store managers are rushing to get the authorization to sell red and white machines.

  Especially in this era of depression, the red and white machine has instead become a cheap and refreshing thing, which is far more economical than eating and drinking.

  When the time came to the third week of Super Mario sales, the first third-party home console game in the world officially came out.

  The game is developed by an independent production group cultivated by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, the producer of which is Kazuma Yuwaki.

   He was originally a person with little action, but when he entered the world of creating games for the first time, he was happier than ever.

The entire team consists of six people who are responsible for program development and planning. They were formed during the learning process of game production. After more than a month, the first third-party game was completed, and it was determined that they could log in to the Red Star through the evaluation criteria of Zhuyouxing. White machine platform.

   The name of the game is: Ninja Project.

  Ninja is also an enduring topic in Japan. Together with samurai, it is almost a Japanese martial arts theme.

   So just the word ninja attracted the interest of many people.

The gameplay of the game is similar to that of Contra. It is a side-scrolling game, and the story content of the game is specially enhanced. Generally, a traitor appeared in the ninja village. In order to hunt down the traitor, the strongest ninja was sent, which is the player, and then Continue to defeat the enemy along the way, remove the head of the traitor and return to life.

The price of this game is only 3,000, which is regarded as a low-priced game in the red and white consoles. Just by virtue of the low price, it has attracted the attention of many people. The sales volume in the first week reached more than 20,000, and it was given to this team at once. It has brought in more than 20 million yen in income, which also proves that the efforts of the six people for more than a month have not been in vain, and this is only the first week.

Even if sales gradually decline in the future, their game production this time can be said to be a great success. The small group of six people also excitedly held a small celebration party. At the same time, they also visited and thanked Zhuyouxing for the cultivation and so on. .

  Then they are ready to start the production of the next game again.

   And this can really be called the 'first' good game in this world.

   The first good game made by people in this world.

   At the same time, this third-party game release is just right to be used as a model for publicity.

Look, it only takes a few people to make games, and you can get rich rewards. As long as you are creative and willing to invest, even if you are very busy, as long as you have free time from work, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will help you. Of course, We will get some share from it.

All people who participate in the game development course of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will sign an agreement, the game makers can enjoy all the copyrights of the game, but the first game must be released on the red and white machine, if the game does not meet the publishing standards of the red and white machine , then the agreement cannot be terminated until a sufficiently eligible game is produced.

   With the first successful example of independent game development, the number of people participating in the game development course of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also began to increase significantly.

   At this time, many talents discovered that the original red and white machine is not just a product made by a company.

   It is more like a platform, a platform that looks at everyone, as long as you have the ability, you can join it to make games, and then earn rewards.

   And it seems that only a few people can do it, which is quite different from the general traditional film and television media industry.

   There is an endless stream of people who want to participate in making games.

   When Super Mario sales came a month later, Yuxing Entertainment released a brand new game on time.

   This time it is a football game in the sports category, which is directly called Football Boy, and is jointly developed by the new third and fourth production teams.

Because there is no cartoon of soccer boy Osora Tsubasa in this world, soccer has not brought much craze in Japan in a short period of time. Take Yusei made this game more to let the third, fourth, and two groups become proficient in the game. The production process of the game, while occupying a hole in the football category, will be useful in the future if it is not good.

  Because there is no market for football, the sales are obviously not as good as the first-week sales of the Super Baseball Game, which is also a sports category. Football Boy only has more than 14,000 copies in the first week.

  Although there are only more than 10,000 copies, the reviews on the Internet are all good. Some people seem to be keen football fans, and they also praised the professionalism of the football kid game. Of course, this is only based on that era.

Although the sales are low, the evaluation is very good. Coupled with the encouragement of Zhu Yuxing, this also makes the third and fourth game development teams feel that their efforts are not in vain. At least there are many people who support the praise, and it is just a work of practicing. Not many bad reviews which is good, but sales are secondary.

   Then the two teams separated and officially entered the game development process.

   Four game development teams, and now the first game development team develops games for one year.

   The game production time of the other three groups was stretched to three months for one game.

In the future, the production cycle of games must be getting longer and longer. Finally, a regular studio will produce a game in an average of one to three years. This is the normal game output, the kind that can guarantee the quality and quantity. There are also many good games. It is impossible to squeeze infinitely. People in this world have to create excellent games themselves.

   Red and white machines are thriving here

   As for the game development department of Suri Electronics.

   Not so good now.
