The second, third, and fourth game development teams all made great achievements during this period, each released a game, and achieved certain results.
As the number one game development team, they have always had to hold back. Zhu Yuxing forced them to constantly polish the game and make Dragon Quest 2 the best it can be.
In fact, it took them about two months to basically complete the game.
The rest of the time is to continuously optimize the game, add a variety of gameplay, and then cram these things into the limited space of the cartridge.
This has been repeated for a full five or six months, and now there is almost no problem found in the game.
The first game development team is very eager to prove themselves, they don't want to look weaker than the other three teams.
But Zhu Youxing kept suppressing them.
Although Zhu Youxing has never forced them to achieve any results, there will definitely still be pressure in a world where everyone around them is showing their achievements and they are the only ones doing nothing.
"President, I assure you that our Dragon Quest has been done very well and can definitely meet the standards of an excellent game."
Zhu Youxing nodded: "I believe you, and I also know what you are thinking now, but what I want to say is that a series of games must be made better and better, and the more perfect it is, the players are very picky, especially
As loyal players of the series, we cannot let down these players who are full of expectations."
Zhu Yuxing had already known about the pressure on this first game development team before, but he still let them calm down as much as possible and make Dragon Quest 2 better.
He knows best how much harm it will do to the fans who love them if one of the games in a series fails. He has experienced it too many times in his previous life.
The first masterpiece is a masterpiece, and the second one is like shit. This happened too many times in the past. Most of them were companies that forced the production of sequels for the sake of performance, which ultimately ruined the reputation. Zhu Youxing doesn't want this to happen to him.
He must be responsible for himself and the players who like his game.
Ishigaki said with deep approval: "President, I understand that Dragon Quest 2 is also our hard work, so we will never make a mistake. In that case, I will not be able to forgive myself, so when are we planning to officially release it?
"
Zhu Youxing raised his eyes and looked at the calendar on the table and said, "One month from now. In this last month, you can check and fill in the gaps as much as possible."
After Zhu Yuxing finished speaking, he took out a plan and said: "Also, according to the introduction above, you will make another game trailer and prepare to publish it on the Internet. Later, you can also take time to participate in the red and white machine
Mr. Sansuke Tsuchiya will also participate in the interview with the game magazine. Series games also have the advantage of series games, that is, they have a fan base."
Ishigaki quickly stepped forward and picked up the plan.
This plan is a general document that details the detailed steps for promoting a series of video games. The best way to increase player stickiness has been clearly written.
These are also very common methods in later generations, and they are some of the methods that are most likely to create a sense of cohesion among loyal players of the series.
For example, special interviews, offline interactions with fans, inviting loyal fans to participate in game promotions, etc.
As Ishigaki continued to turn the pages, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
He will participate in various activities as the second producer to promote Dragon Quest 2, and Zhu Yusei, the first game producer, will also come out to help promote the game during some critical periods.
Dragon Quest 2 is a showdown against the two new challengers.
Let them have a taste of the powerful influence brought by the series. Don't think that just because you have more people can shake our position in video games.
"President, please rest assured that I will carry out the plan in accordance with the content in the plan!"
After saying that, Ishigaki happily left with the plan and ran all the way back to his team's office.
"Team leader, what does the president want from you?"
In the office of the first game development team, several programmers were still testing Dragon Quest repeatedly. When they saw the team leader running back excitedly, they all raised their heads and looked at Ishigaki.
"The president just said that our Dragon Quest 2 can officially enter the game promotion stage and will be officially released in one month."
A dozen developers looked at each other and immediately cheered happily.
They can finally prove their value to the company.
During this period, they were also envious as they watched the sales of other groups' various games break records.
But Zhuyusing is just not in a hurry to let them release the game, even if they feel that the game they produce has almost no shortcomings.
But if a game really wants to find faults, there will always be ones.
"Team leader, what should we do in the last month? Continue to check the game for vulnerabilities?"
"Leave two or three people to do the final inspection, and the rest will follow this plan."
Ishigaki raised the plan in his hand.
"This is a publicity plan specially customized by the president for Dragon Quest. We will spend most of the next time carrying out publicity work based on the content above."
The team members gathered around and began to study the contents of the plan.
Then everyone was mobilized that day and seemed very motivated, attracting curious glances from the other three game development teams from time to time.
Soon they also learned about the plan for Dragon Quest 2 to be released, and then they came over to congratulate the first game development team and celebrate the success of Dragon Quest 2.
Some people from the first game development team started making promotional videos for the game, and a few others started making game demos for trial use. They were going to go directly to several exclusive authorized stores to distribute the game trial content later.
Then, Ishigaki also contacted Daigo Ikeda, the editor-in-chief of the Famicom-exclusive game magazine at the time, by phone, and he helped contact the Dragon Quest interview team.
It just so happened that Sansuke Tsuchiya had a lot of free time during this period. Since the Dragon Quest manga got on track, he has become more relaxed and his energy has improved a lot. It just so happens that he can put some more burdens on him.
He drew several extra comic content for Dragon Quest 2.
Next, contact the company's network department to help create the official forum community of Dragon Quest. In the future, the producers will also interact with players through the community.
At the same time, Vides and Jinping Entertainment are also promoting their own game consoles with great fanfare, and also want to get a piece of the electronic game field.
But they are obviously much smarter than Surui Electronics at the beginning.
Among them, Vides' game consoles have chosen to be sold at a preferential price to stores such as entertainment halls.
They were encouraged to let players experience the game through coin-opting, and they did not plan to sell it directly to players from the beginning. It was obvious that they planned to take the arcade route first.
Jinping Entertainment began to help promote it through its own artists, with the focus of promotion being idols.
At this time, idols are setting off a nationwide craze. In order to chase idols, some people don't mind spending any money to buy products recommended by idols. As for whether players play games after buying them, that has become secondary. Anyway,
Just sell the game console.
When the two companies were promoting, they were also keeping a close eye on Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, wanting to see what moves Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was preparing to deal with.
Then, the promotion work for Dragon Quest 2 officially began.
