This matter was not a problem for Airi Hayazawa. She easily helped contact several martial arts schools that were relatively famous in Japan.
They were very interested in being hired as consultants, especially if Zhu Youxing was willing to pay a fee.
Even some well-known martial arts schools are not doing well now. Japan's economic bubble affects all aspects, and they are also short of money now.
However, they also put forward their own request, that is, they hope that their Budokan name can be added to the list of games produced to help them increase their reputation.
The Bamboo Star immediately agreed. This was a mutually beneficial thing. It just added their names to the final list of the game. This was actually useless compared to traditional movies and TV series.
Only players who have actually completed the game can see the credits at the end.
Generally speaking, 30% of the players who have completed a game is already a pretty good figure, but it is even harder to say how many of these 30% have the patience to read the list of producers.
Already.
Several martial arts schools have agreed that they will send their more outstanding disciples to their companies to teach in person in the future. There is no need for programmers to go out to study on their own, which saves programmers a lot of time.
Of course this also requires additional payment.
But now is the time to use money to save time, and Zhu Youxing will naturally not be stingy.
It's just a pity that the current motion capture technology is only barely usable, and the accuracy is not good at all. Programmers still need to fine-tune the details in the program, otherwise Zhu Youxing will want to do the whole thing directly.
It is better to use 2D for the best action fighting games now, and wait until the industry is almost mature before considering real 3D motion capture action games.
In this way, the people in the fourth team spent almost a month recording various fighting data on the development of Street Fighter, which included various popular fighting techniques around the world.
Thinking back to the beginning, Street Fighter's popularity may have been due to this hodgepodge.
People all over the world have similar thoughts and want to see who wins in a melee with different fighting techniques from all over the world.
After Airi Hayasawa helped contact the Budokan, she once again devoted herself to the development of the game console, while Takeyusei began to review and inspect the games produced by the second, third, and fourth teams one by one.
The games made by Second and Third are relatively simple, but they must not be careless. Zhuyouxing's expectation is to be as perfect as possible, not even close. Only in this way can we maximize the number of players.
At the same time, in Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area of the United States, Matsuhashi was moving people into a brand new office building.
Now the overall size of companies in the United States only has a dozen people.
In the early stage, this number of people was completely enough. Anyway, the United States is not the main area for game development. The main development areas are still concentrated in Japan.
Matsuhashi Minoru only suffered from jet lag for a short time, and immediately started to get into work mode, being more involved than anyone else.
She cherishes this job very much, so she hopes to gain a foothold here no matter what.
Before the company's location selection was completed, she ran around looking for car manufacturers to cooperate with, but the responses she received were all no.
These car manufacturers have absolutely no regard for video games.
This is normal. The total number of game players in the United States is only a few hundred thousand now.
Surui Electronics is also working hard here, but the results are indeed not very good. According to Zhu Youxing, the games previously developed by Surui Electronics are more biased towards the Asia-Pacific culture, and European and American people will be relatively slow to accept it.
.
Surui Electronics had not thought of this before, so it did not shift its focus in game development to Europe and the United States.
Now only racing games and basketball games are selling better.
However, because the average price of each game in the United States can be directly sold for more than 120 US dollars, and the profit is seven to eight times, so there are only a few hundred thousand players, but they still make a lot of money.
Some local young people in the United States saw such high profit margins and quickly jumped into it.
Programmers here in the United States are generally stronger. They can easily attract many players with better game effects and make a lot of money.
From the perspective of Zhuyouxing, the entire American region is still a gold mine waiting to be mined. A mere few hundred thousand players are simply not worthy of the total player base in the American region.
After basically settling on the office location, Minoru Matsuhashi immediately started contacting advertisers and major retailers in the United States.
In the United States, it is not as easy to sell products as in Japan. Japan will definitely have more convenience because it is fighting locally.
If you want to sell foreign products in the United States, you need to negotiate with retailers.
The most important ones are naturally those selling electronic products and children's toys.
In front of the headquarters gate of Woodson Department Store Co., Ltd., Matsuhashi Minoru arranged her clothes, then took a deep breath and stepped into the headquarters of one of the American retail giants.
Minoru Matsuhashi walked to the front desk and politely said to the receptionist: "Hello, I'm here to see sales manager David."
The front desk raised his head and said, "Do you have an appointment?"
Matsuhashi Minoru shook his head: "No, because I have contacted your company many times, but no direct reply has been given. We now need to discuss the sale of a new product with your company immediately."
The person at the front desk said apologetically: "Sorry, ma'am, it may be that our company is approaching the end of the year and is very busy, so the middle and senior managers don't have much extra time. If you have products you want to sell, you can consider waiting until after Christmas."
"
"Then can't I just go to your manager David?"
"Sorry ma'am, no, without an appointment, we can't determine when you can see Manager David."
Matsuhashi Minoru was a little unwilling. She said: "I am willing to wait. You only need to give me two minutes to introduce our company's electronic game console products to you. I believe you will be interested."
"Okay, madam, you can go to the tea room and wait."
The front desk raised his hand to indicate a room on the side of the hall labeled Tea Room.
Usually people without reservations go directly there and wait.
However, people who enter the tearoom will basically stay there all day long.
Especially in this day when Christmas is coming in two months, retail giants are often the busiest at this time.
Halloween sales in November and Black Friday in December require preparation in advance.
Matsuhashi Minoru knew it, but she still had to try her luck.
