After the arrival of the new year, game development is back on track, and Zhuyouxing has already planned a number of games.
Among them, Resident Evil is the main project in the short term, and other game developments also need to take action.
The second development project that I need to pay attention to is the Pokémon series. The last one was Pokémon Sapphire and Emerald, which was launched on GBA.
This series has also been released with three parts.
In the end, the previous Pokémon series was somewhat suspected of resting on its laurels rather than making progress.
And Zhu Yuxing does not want the Pokémon in this world to become like this. Even if it is really to make money, he must make money decently.
Therefore, he slowed down the development cycle and tried his best to add some gameplay and functions to the original Pokémon series. Even if there was no innovation, there was always no problem in launching more Pokémon.
For most players, Pokémon is like a childhood dream, and as long as they don’t seek death, their base will not be shaken at all.
gsl should also launch the next generation of Pokémon series, which is the fourth generation Diamond and Pearl series.
gsl itself also has touch characteristics, and it can also improve the picture quality of Pokémon to another level.
This project will be handed over to the fourth development team for implementation.
Zhu Youxing checked the boxes on the paper and then looked at the next project.
The third project that needs my attention is the new Monster Hunter. With the experience of the first generation, the production of the second generation will be more mature and the cost will be reduced a lot. I only need to supervise the quality of the final game.
That's fine, it's not a big problem.
The development of the previous game took more than a thousand people, but this time a team plus a motion capture team of about 400 people are basically enough. The development cycle can be slightly longer, one and a half to two years.
.
Then, there is the fourth development plan, which is more complicated.
Zhuyusing wants to develop the Dynasty Warriors series.
This is also a quite classic IP, and its popularity is always very high. There are many people who like to experience the world of the Three Kingdoms. It can even be said bluntly that it is because of the emergence of Three Kingdoms Warriors that people around the world understand the history of the Three Kingdoms.
It's just... there's a problem now, not too big or too small.
That is, many of the histories of the Three Kingdoms in this world are different from the allusions in the parallel world of Zhuyouxing’s previous life...
This may be the reason for the different development directions of parallel worlds. In this world, the main line of development of the Three Kingdoms has not changed much, but the names of the characters are different. They are also different from the characters that Zhu Yusing was familiar with in his previous life. This world
There are no Liu Guan, Zhang, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo and others in the Three Kingdoms.
In fact, not only the history of the Three Kingdoms in this world, but also the trajectories of many ancient histories in this world are very different, but the characters are different.
It was not until modern times that some major events seemed to be back on track, and the characters at some key historical nodes changed little.
This made Zhu Youxing somewhat confused.
In fact, he still wanted to recreate the original full picture of Dynasty Warriors.
But the names of the characters are all different, and his desire to make Dynasty Warriors has weakened a lot.
Zhu Yuxing is a very nostalgic person, so even if the character names are changed, he doesn’t want to make it anymore.
But I was a little unwilling to not make the Dynasty Warriors series, so Zhuyouxing was stuck here and never started to develop it.
Otherwise, Zhu Youxing would have already started preparing to make Dynasty Warriors. This is also one of his own childhood memories. It felt really good to spend an entire night playing with his father who also loves to play games at home with a controller.
After taking one look at the plan, Zhu Youxing finally shook his head and decided to put it down for the time being.
This is Zhu Youxing's own knot. Maybe it will be solved at some point and he can start working on it.
Of course, it’s not like Zhu Yuxing can’t make other types of Musou games, such as IP-derived Musou products, such as One Piece Musou, Zelda Musou, etc., but in the end, after thinking about it, I decided to give up.
After putting this project aside, Zhu Yuxing felt that just three projects were still not enough.
Now is a critical moment for competition. We still need to come up with a few more workable works. There are still quite a few well-known works, so... how about starting to produce Half-Life and GTA series?
This can be done, but developing such a very pure European and American game based on Japanese cultural foundation may not be adaptable to the local environment.
Instead, we can consider expanding the number of people in overseas game production studios to prepare for future large-scale productions.
However, games like GTA and Half-Life also have an extraordinary status in Zhu Youxing's mind. He still wants to wait a little longer and wait for his team to be more experienced before letting these two series debut.
peak.
The current team strength is still not in line with Zhu Youxing’s standards.
If that doesn't work, he can still start production on Final Fantasy 9, but 9 is not that famous in the entire series. Developing this sequel is just to fill the regrets in his heart. Compared to 9, he wants to make Final Fantasy 10.
It's just that Final Fantasy 8 hasn't been released yet. It's a little early to consider a sequel. If you do it too hastily, the quality of the work will decline. It's better to wait.
Dragon Quest now has a similar problem. This has also been released in the ninth generation. The popularity of Dragon Quest is slowly waning, because the gameplay itself is now considered more classical, and today's players prefer freshness.
Exciting game content.
This is a historical law and cannot be affected by human power.
Forget it, I can’t finish my thoughts in one day and there is still a long time ahead. Now I have maintained my advantage and the pressure is not very great.
Zhu Youxing casually put his business plan aside, and then began to check the recent data information and the executive letters sent to him.
The data information is all about game sales results, copyright development licensing fees, and game console sales data.
With Zhu Youxing's insistence, even though SFC has ceased production, FC still maintains two production lines for continuous production. However, with the rapid development of technology, FC game consoles can now be made very compact, while also
More games can be saved through the new FC cartridge, and even new FC models have a saving function.
Even with this, the production, packaging, transportation and sales cost of an FC game console does not exceed 1,000 yen per unit, which is the core of Zhuyouxing's strategy of popularizing games.
Because it is cheap enough, FC sales have always been good around the world, and no one will refuse a cheap and interesting thing.
Especially in low-income countries and regions, such cheap game consoles are even more popular.
So far, the sales volume of FC has exceeded 300 million units. This number is simply scary. Even in the records of his previous life, the game console did not exceed 200 million units. His own FC has sold 300 million units. This is just like brushing up the data.
To force FC to continue its life, even if Zhuyouxing, which has been almost unprofitable until now, insists on selling it, an ordinary company would have given up on such an outdated product long ago.
But whenever Zhu Youxing sees players from low-income areas on the Internet having fun playing FC, he feels that it is worthwhile to persist in doing this. Games should not be high-consumption things, but
A cheap product that everyone can experience.
I am afraid that even Youxing Electronic Entertainment cannot break the sales data of FC. The FC game console will become a very important part of the gaming industry.
I'm afraid other manufacturers will be disgusted when they see FC's sales. How can they play with it?
Then, Zhu Youxing took another look at the game's sales data, and then his eyes rested on a set of data.
