Zhu Youxing believes that the Internet is definitely a good channel and he cannot give up easily. At the same time, it is also a portal open to the whole world, making it easier to spread game consoles. It will also be very effective in promoting the world in the future.
Faced with the sudden appearance of competitors, Youxing Electronic Entertainment did not seem to have much reaction.
This made Surui Electronics a little confused.
They are all ready to fight back at any time. The legal department has formed a team of lawyers and prepared a lot of information.
However, I found that the other party did not respond at all to the infringement claim. I don’t know why.
Zhu Youxing ignored the other party and continued to do things at his own pace.
There is still a month left for the release of their game console. Anyway, the promotion can't help the thigh, so there is no need to increase investment in this area. Wouldn't it be nice to make a game if you have that time?
So Surui Electronics started to promote it vigorously, and soon it occupied more people's attention.
As for Zhu Youxing, he opened a game production class in the company, recruiting those who are interested in making games to join, and also promised to give game producers certain feedback.
If the produced game passes the review, you can produce 10,000 boxes of game cartridges for early sales without paying any deposit. Youxing Entertainment will take a cut of the cost of the cassette production.
Thirty percent of the cassette sales will be commissioned, and the sales channel will take another 30%, and the remaining 40% will belong to the game production group.
Youxing Entertainment is able to make 30% of the money without spending any money. The 30% earned by one or two production groups may not show much, but dozens or hundreds of models added together.
?
This will probably make more money than making your own game.
Of course, making money is not the purpose of opening a class. People in this world do not lack creativity, they just lack methods on how to realize the creativity of making games.
Zhuyouxing still hopes that more people will invest in game production. When they see that game production can also make money, this industry will also have a virtuous cycle.
With the current capabilities of the Famicom, an average team of only about five people is needed to start game creation, and no particularly complex staffing is required.
At this time, both programmers and in-game art can be taken care of, but the game cover needs to be designed by someone. Several professional original artists from Youxing Entertainment can help, and you only need to pay them extra.
In the previous Atari era, just one programmer could even make four or five games a month, but the quality was very worrying.
Not long after the release of Red Fortress, Zhu Youxing temporarily asked the second game development team to slow down and let more than 20 of them teach those who were just getting started how to actually make a game at different times.
They now have a lot of experience, and it is obviously not a problem to teach others how to make games. At the same time, they can also reflect on themselves, which will also be beneficial to the production of their next games.
Also accompanying them are the third and fourth game development departments that have just been established. Zhuyouxing plans to have these two development departments produce games of specific categories in the future, just like the first development department.
Some classic series can be handed over directly to one of the two groups for long-term development, such as long-term projects such as The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy.
As for Zhu Yuxing himself, he ran to start making games again. Of course, this time he had to bring more people with him to make the game.
Compared to company management, he feels that he really prefers game development.
Moreover, since competitors have appeared this time, I should at least use video games to fight back and truly teach them how to behave.
In order to deal with his opponents, the game he is preparing to make is Super Mario 3.
Super Mario 3 can be said to be a milestone in the gaming industry.
According to some media statistics from Zhu Youxing's previous life, there is no game producer who has not played Super Mario 3.
This is one of Mario's peak moments.
Zhu Yuxing originally wanted to wait a little longer, as this was more or less a ultimate move for the Famicom, but it seemed like the production had to start in advance.
Previously, the total capacity of the two Mario games was only a few tens of kilobytes.
The maximum capacity of the Famicom cassette produced by Takeyusei and Hayasawa Airi was 256kb.
This was also the initial performance limit of the Famicom.
But the game size of Super Mario 3 is 384kb
Obviously exceeded its own capacity limit.
However, programming has a magical power. Many game producers in later generations call the game producers of the 1980s and 1990s masters of miracles.
They can always cram enough fun things into limited functions without any problems.
Now Zhuyouxing is just recreating the path traveled by its predecessors.
He took several programmers who were transferred from the first game development team and started a busy month.
In fact, except for Zhu Youxing himself, other programmers are assisting in the work, and Zhu Youxing is the main force.
They all just completed the program writing according to Zhuyouxing's requirements, and then Zhuyouxing checked and compressed the capacity and wrote it to the cassette.
They watched helplessly as Zhu Youxing wrote the hundreds of kilobytes of code he typed out before into a limited-capacity cassette. The cassette still ran perfectly. This made them dumbfounded and exclaimed that it could still be done like this.
The promotion of Super Mario Bros. 3 was also launched at the same time, and it seemed that this was the way to deal with competitors.
Use your own games against the opponent's game console to see which one is more important, the game or the game console.
When children who were very fond of Super Mario saw that the third generation of Super Mario suddenly appeared, they were confused at first.
"Did we miss something? Why did Super Mario 3 suddenly appear? Where is Super Mario 2?"
"I don't know. Don't the numbers behind represent the order of the game?"
"Forget it, since Super Mario 3 is out, I must buy it!"
Kids are quickly forgetting about numbers, and there's a new game out, and it's a sequel to Super Mario, which is great.
Anyone who owns a NES has played Super Mario.
On the one hand, it is because of the reasons that come with the game console itself, so even if you are not interested, you will still play a few games.
On the other hand, Super Mario itself is very interesting. It’s hard for adults to say, but there are children who don’t like to play.
Now Super Mario has become the second most popular character among children.
The first one is Koshien Superman, the protagonist of the tokusatsu drama in this world.
It seems that there is a long way to go to shake the status of this tokusatsu drama hero in the hearts of children.
As for the parents, they were not too happy when they heard the news.
Some children have liked some of the games released before and some have hated them. If there is something they want to buy, parents will write a blank check and the children will gradually forget about it.
But Super Mario 3 is different.
It's useless to say anything, parents must buy it. Before, everything could be compromised, but Super Mario 3 cannot be compromised.
The parents are very sad.
It's not even as good as a game on its own.
However, such parents are actually only in the minority.
Because most parents want to play Super Mario 3 themselves when they see it, let alone their children.
At the same time as Super Mario 3 was released, the first game made by someone other than Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also started publicity work, but the release date would be staggered with Super Mario 3, otherwise it would be estimated that this first game by an outsider
Even my mother wouldn’t recognize the game she played that would get me beaten.
Wait until you finish fighting Suri Electronics here before you come back.
