522 Indie games that have been left out

522

Game developers in this world now seem to have really entered a strange circle.

If Tsukino Aya hadn't suddenly said this, Takeyusei wouldn't have noticed much.

This is not just a problem for three girls.

It's not entirely because the three of them are a little too ambitious.

Part of the reason is that the current environment is also tending to promote big productions.

However, this is actually unreasonable.

A truly benign cultural and entertainment industry means that whether large-scale productions or small-cost independently produced works have an audience.

Especially independent production, in the entire industry, can be on an equal footing with large-production industrial games. Independent games are not much worse than large-production games, and independent games also have their own significance.

In the film industry, there is such a very benign system.

First, some little-known directors try some directions that large-scale productions have never tried before, and then conduct low-cost trial and error. Once independent films achieve breakthrough results in a certain direction, large-scale films will follow.

Later, we will dig deeper in this aspect.

In this way, small-budget independent films have the opportunity to shine, and large-budget films can also try and make mistakes at a very small cost to find a film and television production direction that has a greater chance of success.

In this way, independent films and big-budget films can form a very healthy complementarity.

This system is actually also applicable to the video game industry.

Big-budget games cannot be easily risked because hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake.

No capital can accept hundreds of millions of dollars being wasted.

Therefore, it is a very good direction to start independent games first and explore a successful path before allowing big-budget games to expand.

However, this world is different.

The soil for independent games in this world is very shallow, almost non-existent.

Zhuyouxing has tried to encourage individuals to develop games several times before, and has also held several game development themed competitions.

However, these have little effect. Most people will choose to join a game company directly after they have a certain game development foundation, participate in large-scale games, and become a cog in large-scale games.

Takeyusei looked like he was thinking very seriously for more than ten minutes, while Tsukino Aya patiently watched Takeyusei waiting for his answer.

Tsukino Aya knows Takeyusei very well. There is no need to disturb him when he is thinking seriously. He just needs to wait silently. He must be thinking intensely in his brain now, and he is probably not just thinking about his own questions.

The question was so simple, Zhu Youxing obviously thought of other things through what he said about the troubles of the three girls.

"color."

"Um?"

"It seems...I've made game development in this world go in a direction that I don't particularly want to see."

Tsukino Aya was stunned.

She didn't realize what Zhu Youxing was saying for a moment.

Zhu Youxing murmured: "The world seems to lack the soil for independent game development. This is actually a bit abnormal and unreasonable."

Aya Tsukino said in confusion: "Why? Isn't the game industry booming now?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "It's true but..."

But this is based on its continuous leadership in the industry.

The game industry practitioners in this world regard themselves as a benchmark, thinking that all they need to do is learn from themselves, and just follow the path that Zhu Youxing has already taken.

Zhuyouxing has truly become the godfather of the industry in the video game industry.

However, this also caused many people to look at him and only look at Zhu Youxing.

Naturally, this has brought unparalleled influence to Zhu Youxing. He has the highest say in the video game industry, and people regard everything he says as the Bible.

The light on his body was too dazzling, causing everyone to ignore the occasional small dots of light under the light.

But after all, he is only a human being, and he is not a real god.

His power is limited, and now he can continue to innovate, but when his inspiration dries up, those who have been watching him may instantly fall into a state of confusion.

By that time, Zhu Youxing even felt that the entire industry would be in great turmoil.

This is not an exaggeration, but is very likely to happen.

The most successful people are gradually declining. Does that mean that the game industry will come to an end? Then the development potential of this industry will end here?

Perhaps when I am unable to surpass myself again and again, I am afraid it will cause turmoil no less than the collapse of Atari in the previous life.

Of course, this possibility is actually very low. Zhu Youxing, who has decades of experience in game development in his previous life, may not be able to present all the high-quality games in his previous life to the people of this world. He should not worry.

These things.

However, it is still not possible for the entire industry, and we must find ways to change it.

At this time, Takeyusei finally came back to his senses and looked at Tsukino Aya, who had been watching him silently. At this time, Takeyusei suddenly felt a very touching emotion in his heart. It was a very rare emotion after coming to this world. He seemed to

There was a slight urge to do something, but he quickly suppressed his thoughts on the game.

"Ah Cai, as I just said, the game industry should not develop like this. We should find ways to give independent games a certain say."

Zhu Youxing's first thought was to use his fame to encourage more game developers to develop independent games.

But that’s not enough. It’s just encouragement. It’s like trying your luck in the hope that a super genius will suddenly pop up from the independent game circle and develop a blockbuster super independent game.

If Zhu Youxing did this, he might as well spend his own money to buy lottery tickets.

After hearing Takeyusei's words, Tsukino Aya just asked indifferently: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to..." Zhu Youxing's eyes sparkled, "I don't need to develop a game under my own name, and I can develop it with my own strength, without relying on anyone, just like when I first created the FC game console.

It will be the same, all game development will be handled by me alone."

From music, to art, to programming, level design, and gameplay design, Zhu Youxing participated in the entire process and created an independent game that only he participated in.

And this kind of blockbuster top independent game developed by one person, Zhuyouxing, has already thought of one, which should be very suitable for this world at the moment.

In his mind, the image of a simple 2D character, a hoe, and a letter appeared in his mind.

The name of this game is: Stardew Valley.
