The chairman of the Cultural Industry Promotion Committee was very happy.
Because finally there is someone willing to stand up and promote IP cooperation projects.
This was the first one, so he was extra attentive.
On the same day, he immediately contacted people from NHK TV station and briefly explained the matter.
The producer who was previously in charge of this legal drama at NHK thought it was nothing after hearing it.
It's just a derivative game. Video games were not their development direction before, and they have never made any money in video games. So handing it over to a production company with sufficient strength to produce the game is actually a very good result.
It's just that he didn't feel comfortable with the brand-new scripts proposed by the president that were fully copyrighted to the games and had nothing to do with their TV series.
It's as if the other party has no regard for the TV series that he worked so hard to produce.
After all, this is now considered a popular drama among the people. The ratings are about to soar to the first place, and then the party that produces the game shows that they don’t care about this drama. This is quite unpleasant.
But this is still a policy promoted by the government. Anyway, NHK doesn’t care about the small profits after the adaptation, so they just agreed in the face of the government.
Of course, I can’t give in too much. It’s not too much to ask for a share of the copyright share. Otherwise, it’s not appropriate to give it for free. Let’s talk about sharing a 35% share of the copyright share. And
It is that they want to read the game script before making the game, so as not to make the game script too outrageous. If it is too different from the style of their legal drama, it will not be suitable.
The president agreed readily.
The other party's request is very reasonable. Even if Zhu Youxing doesn't want to give a share, their government can still provide this amount of money. This money is still not lacking, so it is regarded as a benefit for the first one to eat crabs.
It’s okay to ask for the game script. Anyway, the game will be produced sooner or later. There is no need to hide this thing, and it is impossible for NHK to leak this thing in advance.
The producer really doesn't care too much about this. He is now focusing more on the production of this drama.
Now this drama is reaching a critical period. The protagonist and the villain in the story are engaged in a fierce court defense, vowing to fight to the death. This story must be handled very carefully. The adaptation of the TV series into a game cannot be wasted.
He has too much energy.
After negotiating with NHK, the president contacted Zhu Youxing again.
Zhuyouxing has no objection to NHK's two demands. The other party just wants a small share of the copyright, and they don't care about the money at all.
Ace Attorney was a game that initially relied on word-of-mouth to rise, but if there is a popular national drama in the world as a gimmick, it will definitely attract more players to join the game, and the copyright share will be equivalent to the cost of publicity and distribution.
After getting the copyright share, you can't just do nothing. You can add a few seconds of advertisement at the end of your episode to preview the game and attract traffic to Zhuyouxing.
There are also script matters that can be started first. The specific details of the script defense can be arranged slowly, but the main story of Zhu Yuxing can be started directly now. If the other party needs it, it should be done early.
Then, Zhuyouxing began to arrange for some of its development team to participate in several public court defenses.
If you want to make an excellent game, especially one with a modern background, it is very important to experience an environment similar to the game background.
This is the same as when Takeyusei asked his employees to participate in martial arts training to help with the production of Street Fighter.
After arranging some employees, Zhu Youxing began to work out the outline of the script with the screenwriters of the group.
Gu Hao
The main story line of the first Ace Attorney is slightly fantasy, and it also involves ghost communication. This was originally intended to attract players' attention.
If it were just said to be a text story about lawyers arguing at the beginning, the player's interest would be greatly reduced.
After adding a bit of fantasy color, it attracted more attention.
It was only after the second part that it became closer to reality.
At the same time, because this series is very representative among text adventure games, Capcom, the manufacturer of this later game, almost always resets it every two or three years, which can be regarded as a model of low cost and high return.
The first part has also been reset many times and a lot of plots have been added to pave the way for the subsequent main stories of the second and third parts.
When Ace Attorney was first produced, I certainly didn't expect it to be so popular, so I didn't consider releasing a second part. But later, because the results were quite good and the profitability was extremely high, the subsequent story gradually unfolded, and the first part
I also re-planned a new plot, and then cooked up a new wave of cold rice.
The king of cold rice has basically been established since two thousand years ago.
However, no matter how many times Ace Attorney is ignored, its sales are still very good, and there are always enthusiastic fans who are willing to buy it again and again. This is very magical.
Perhaps it’s because the plot and gameplay of this text adventure story are so charming.
Even if it takes more than ten years, the gameplay will still not be outdated.
This also shows from the side that Capcom really has two brushes.
The ups and downs of a court debate that should have been relatively boring were arranged.
The defense lawyer Naruhodou played by the player uses clever reasoning to discover the key contradictions in the case from various false testimonies, and finally continuously peels off the cocoons to find the real murderer of each case.
In the end, the game's most iconic line: "A pound of pears! (Objection)" has become one of the most popular memes in the gaming industry.
These characteristics of Bamboo Games must be retained. At the same time, if possible, Bamboo Games also hopes to explore the ingenuity of the buttons to solve puzzles to a greater extent.
This depends on the efforts of the screenwriters and puzzle designers in the development team.
"Eh? Tsukino Aya, why are you here?"
At this moment, Takeyusei was discussing the advancement and foreshadowing of the plot with the screenwriter, when Tsukino Aya suddenly came to the office.
Recently, her main job is to solve all the company's computer technical problems, almost wherever she needs to go, but now it seems that there are no technical problems here.
"I heard you were developing a mystery game, so I wanted to take a look."
Tsukino Aya's expression was as calm as ever, but there was also curiosity in her eyes.
She is actually a fan of reasoning. This is the first time she has created a reasoning game in a game. Tsukino Aya really wants to see with her own eyes how such a game is created.
Of course, she felt that she might not be able to make this kind of game because she was not good at conceiving puzzles. She preferred to express the technical skills of the game's graphics and gameplay.
"Then just watch from the side. I'm not sure there will be anything you can help with later."
