Time has come to December, and there is not much time left in 2003, but it is a very critical period for game sales.
Because Christmas is coming.
Various game manufacturers have begun to focus on promoting their own products during this period, desperately promoting how excellent their products are. Naturally, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not immune to this in terms of publicity, and has also joined the publicity army.
However, other games are more about promoting the game graphics, and they also add some very exciting-sounding music to enhance the atmosphere, plus some words such as: 'The best in the world', 'The best graphics', 'Top sound effects', etc.
A series of very gimmick words to attract players' attention.
Advertising laws in this world are not yet mature at this time. If it were placed in the time of Zhu Youxing's previous life, this kind of advertising would probably be banned directly.
Among these, Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s advertising appears to be very unique.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment's advertisement does not directly show more game scenes, but presents the senses of the game from the perspective of each player.
For example, when playing Mario Kart, four people get together and play happily.
Or maybe the father and his children are carefully studying the game strategy book while carefully exploring the world of Dragon Quest.
It’s not that Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s game graphics and sound effects are inferior to others, it’s just that Youxing Electronic Entertainment no longer needs to use that very superficial way to promote its products.
This kind of advertisement that reflects the feelings of players in the most honest way will make people feel more warm. The sales of games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment have not decreased at all, and their dominance is very stable.
After Christmas, the results were as expected, and Youxing Electronic Entertainment's products still maintained their dominant position.
Then a variety of game consoles and games from Surui Electronics followed closely.
As for other game consoles, there is no need to look at them, there are none that can be played.
After Christmas comes the New Year.
For Bamboo Youxing, the New Year is no different from usual times, but recently the pressure from his mother to get married has begun to increase. This Bamboo Youxing can only go to Haha Lake every time, but luckily for the parents in this world
They are also two relatively casual people. To be able to leave their children alone when they are sixteen or seventeen years old and go abroad to live in a world of two is something that no ordinary family can do.
Of course, it's also because Zhu Youxing's family is relatively rich, and Zhu Yousing will never starve to death even if he lives alone.
When the bell of 2004 rang, the new year arrived again, and this was already the eleventh year that Bamboo Youxing came to this world.
After the New Year, it is a new challenge for the game industry.
The current technology explosion is very rapid. Last year, a large number of game producers were still stuck between 2.5d and 3d games. This year, most game companies have fully entered the 3d game field, and some companies have begun to develop sandbox games.
It is the prototype of a box game, but it is obviously still in a very preliminary stage, and the gameplay is relatively simple, making the big world look very empty.
Later in the year, there will be the first world game selection program hosted by Kazuo Murakami.
After constant adjustments, this program was finally determined to be an awards ceremony similar to the Oscars. Murakami Kazuo personally invited Takeyusei and many top producers in the game development industry. It was really like hosting an Oscar.
theater to host this event.
With the support of Zhuyouxing, more than ten top game producers under Zhuyouxing naturally joined in without hesitation, and then came the already famous game developers from all over the world, as well as those engaged in the game industry.
The personnel, the formation looks quite large, and the style seems to be very high.
Kazuo Murakami has become very mature through experience and practice. He is very calm in hosting the show and can hold an award ceremony calmly. He can also always keep the topic hot and keep the atmosphere from getting cold.
Because Youxing Electronic Entertainment is a lifelong honor company in this game award ceremony, all its first-party games will no longer participate in game selection. This is equivalent to hand-picking the games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment to be the best. As long as they appear,
The kind that can directly win the awards ceremony Grand Slam. In that case, it would be too despairing for other game developers.
Without Yusei Electronic Entertainment, the game of the year in 2003 was won by a game manufacturer that produced exclusive games for Yusei Electronic Entertainment game consoles. They developed an action-adventure game that used the most advanced action in Unreal Engine.
The numerical system makes the game look very good, and the quality is like an enhanced version of Onimusha. The sales volume has reached more than two million, making this game manufacturer a lot of money.
In addition to the best games of the year, there are also many games of equally good quality, many of which are comparable to some games from Youxing Electronic Entertainment in terms of game quality. The game industry seems to be flourishing and getting better.
The development has matured and stabilized, and the industry has truly been established.
Among them, there is naturally a game that has been a hot topic recently: Stardew Valley.
This is a game produced and published entirely by one person. Its sales have exceeded 1.5 million so far, and its momentum continues unabated.
This game proves to all game developers that graphics are not everything in a game, and that one can also achieve success with lower-cost investment.
The far-reaching impact of the game itself is more meaningful than the game itself.
Therefore, this game won the special award specially set by Kazuo Murakami: the Industry Leadership Award, which was awarded to this game together with the best independent game that was just set up.
It's just a pity that there is no one to receive the award for this game. Because it is Takeyusei's trumpet, he doesn't want to be exposed directly yet, so Takeyusei directly rejected Murakami Kazuo's invitation on the Internet. At the same time,
He expressed that it was not that he did not want to participate, but that he had a problem with his personal character and did not like this kind of occasion, but he was willing to let his game participate in the selection. As for the selection medals, he asked Murakami Kazuo to save them for him.
Anyway, doesn’t your company have an office for me? Just put it there.
Kazuo Murakami was a little disappointed by this. He thought he could finally see his benefactor, but the other person was so weird that he didn't want to show up at all.
Obviously doing this will make him a big celebrity immediately, and he will also have more development opportunities in the future, but this is also his freedom and there is nothing he can do about it.
