"It's a drama about a lawyer, and it's pretty good to watch. Komura-san, my favorite in the drama, performed so well. He and the criminals were at loggerheads in court. It was really exciting to watch."
Inside the company, two employees were taking advantage of their free time to chat about the TV series they were watching recently.
In Japan, watching TV dramas is very popular among the people.
Even though we have now entered the 21st century, the influence of an excellent TV series is still amazing.
Especially when socializing, the Japanese rarely talk about the gossip of certain people around them, let alone offend other people's private affairs.
Therefore, discussing TV dramas and sports competitions has become their favorite activity.
If a good drama appears on the market, it will inevitably arouse a response from the whole society.
Zhu Youxing didn't pay much attention.
His interest in Japanese dramas is average, and he has only watched a few very popular ones, such as Tokyo Love Story and Lonely Gourmet.
At this moment, his thoughts were devoted to new game planning.
He does have a lot of pretty mature video game blueprints in his brain.
But he still doesn't want to do it, or he doesn't want to do these games yet.
But if I don’t do something, I feel a little bored.
So Zhu Youxing didn't think about what game to make next after thinking about it.
"Hello, President!"
"President!"
When the two employees who were discussing the series saw Zhu Youxing approaching, they all greeted Zhu Youxing with admiration.
"Oh, hello, thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Youxing also responded casually, and then devoted himself to the idea of a new game again.
This time he still wants to create some different games.
How about also making a simulation business game?
Or make a city-building game like City Skylines?
This kind of city-building type of game is also very marketable.
In the era of the original world, construction games have always had a very stable audience, just like the situation of real-time strategy games.
This type of game requires patience. Sometimes it can take dozens of hours to play a game like this, making it very easy for people to get addicted to it.
However, Zhu Youxing felt that the time was not yet ripe.
This kind of construction game will be difficult to operate when developed on a game console. On the contrary, this kind of game is more suitable for playing on a PC.
However, this kind of game can also be used as a bargaining chip. If there is any technical cooperation with the Morgan Group in the future, this kind of game can be used as an exchange condition.
Then the building game can be temporarily passed.
What to do with the rest?
"Hey, have you watched any legal dramas lately?"
"Are you talking about the one from NHK? Of course I watched it! NHK has finally figured out how to make a good modern drama after so many years. It is really rare. Our whole family loves this drama."
Zhu Youxing raised his head and saw several people not far away discussing TV series with coffee.
Gu Ping
Legal drama?
lawyer……
Somehow, an animated image suddenly appeared in Zhu Youxing's mind.
It was a man wearing a suit, with a hedgehog-like slicked back hair, and from time to time he would make some very exaggerated expressions.
Naruhodou Ryuichi.
This is the name of this character.
His profession is a defense lawyer, and the origin of his character happens to be a game about lawyers.
Sometimes the audience size of a game may be related to the social hot spots at the time.
If you happen to make a game that is very relevant to current social hot spots, it will receive extra attention, and it will also give a game product a certain chance of being out of the spotlight.
In the gaming industry, getting out of the game generally means expanding the audience.
Looking at the people discussing not far away, it was obvious that the legal drama they were discussing was indeed very attractive.
Then, why not just make this game called Ace Attorney by yourself?
This is also a relatively new type of electronic game.
Ace Attorney, this is a game that plays a decisive role in text adventure games.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the sales volume of a text adventure game is basically only around 20,000 to 300,000.
The main reason is that the audience for this type of game is really small.
But Ace Attorney has become the most dazzling star among text adventure games.
Its original gameplay of solving crime puzzles through interrogation and the ups and downs of the plot have captured the hearts of players.
Even players who have not played text adventure games in the past, as long as they have been exposed to Ace Attorney, will basically not give a bad review. At most, they just don’t like playing this type of game.
Among text adventure games that generally have sales of only a few hundred thousand, Ace Attorney can exceed one million, which proves that this series also has its own unique charm.
This million sales may not be comparable to games like Call of Duty, which are new year products and often exceed 10 million sales.
But the small yet beautiful design of this series can also bring huge profits.
At this time, Zhu Youxing thought of another thing.
We had previously agreed with the Japanese government that we would try to produce several games adapted from novels or film and television dramas.
Of course, I just hope to do it as much as possible, and I don’t force Zhu Youxing to do it.
But the Japanese government has given itself such a large piece of land, and has been giving its company many preferential tax policies. It would be really unreasonable to not do something in return.
Anyway, it was by the way, Takeyusei felt that he could use the Ace Attorney series to fulfill his previous agreement with the Japanese government.
Well, let’s just consider this most popular legal drama at the moment as the target of adaptation.
Of course, it's just a name, "Ace Attorney should do it anyway. At most, it will add some linkage plots, and it won't have much involvement with the original script."
However, just making a text adventure game doesn't feel like enough.
Ace Attorney itself has no technical difficulty and will basically be very smooth to develop, so you can also develop other games at the same time.
By the way, if you don’t want to make a simulation construction game for the time being, you might as well make a life sim.
This series can be called a DLC mania, but this game still has a large number of fans. They are very addicted to the virtual world of life. It sells very well in the United States, even if the price of the DLC in the later period is even higher than the main game.
They will also spend money willingly.
This game seems to be a good revenue-generating game, and its reputation is also very stable.
If the speed is faster, the development of the two games together may not take half a year. They can be regarded as supplements for different types of games.
