Chapter 542： 300 million

Chapter 542 Three hundred million

541

After the arrival of the new year, the development of the game is back on track, and a number of game plans have been made on the desk of Zhu Yuxing.

Among them, Resident Evil is the main project for a short period of time, and other game development must also take action.

The second development project that I need to pay attention to is the Pokémon series. The last one was the Pokémon Sapphire Emerald launched on GBA.

This series also has three appearances.

The Pokémon series in the previous life was somewhat suspicious of being too old-fashioned to make progress at the end.

And Zhu Yuxing doesn't want the Pokémon in this world to become like this, even if it is really for making money, he must make decent money.

So he slowed down the development cycle and added some gameplay and functions on the basis of the original Pokemon series as much as possible. Even if there is no innovation, there is always no problem in launching more Pokemon.

For most players, Pokémon is like a childhood dream, and the basic game will not be shaken as long as it doesn’t die.

GSL should also launch the next generation of Pokémon series, which is the fourth generation of diamond and pearl series.

GSL itself also has the characteristics of touch, and it can also improve the picture quality of Pokemon to a higher level.

This project will be handed over to the fourth development team for implementation.

Take Yusei checked the paper and looked at the next project.

The third project that needs to be paid attention to 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 it, it's not a big problem.

It took more than 1,000 people to develop the game before, but this time, a team plus about 400 people in the motion capture team is 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 tangled.

Take Yuxing wants to develop the Three Kingdoms Warriors series.

This is also a fairly classic IP, and the popularity is always high. There are many people who like to experience the world of the Three Kingdoms. It can even be said that it is precisely because of the appearance of the Three Kingdoms Warriors that the world understands the history of the Three Kingdoms of China.

It's just... Now there's a big problem.

That is, many of the history of the Three Kingdoms in this world are different from the parallel worlds of Zhu Yuxing's previous life...

This may be the reason for the different development directions of the parallel world. In this world, the main line of development of the Three Kingdoms has not changed, but the names of the characters are different, and the characters that Zhu Yuxing is familiar with in his previous life are also different. This world The Three Kingdoms of China did not have Liu Guanzhang, nor did Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo and others.

In fact, it is not just the history of the Three Kingdoms in this world. The trajectories of many ancient histories in this world are quite similar, 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 did not change much.

This made Zhu Yuxing somewhat tangled.

In fact, he still really wanted to reproduce the original appearance of the Three Kingdoms Warriors.

But the character names are different, and his desire to make Warriors of the Three Kingdoms has weakened a lot.

Take Yusei is a very nostalgic person, even if the character name changes, he doesn't want to make it.

But the Three Kingdoms Warriors series is a bit unwilling to not do it, so Zhu Yuxing is stuck here and has not started development.

Otherwise, Zhu Youxing would have already started preparing to make Warriors of the Three Kingdoms. This is also one of his own childhood memories. It was really nice to play with a gamepad at home all night.

Zhu Yuxing glanced at the plan and finally shook his head, and decided to put it down for the time being.

This is the knot of Zhu Yuxing's own heart, maybe it will be untied by himself at a certain moment, so he can start doing it,

Of course, it’s not that Zhu Yuxing can’t make other types of peerless games, such as peerless products derived from IP, such as Pirate Warriors, Zelda Warriors, etc., but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

After putting this project aside, Take Yusei felt that only three projects were not enough.

Now is a critical moment of competition, and we still have to come up with a few more works that can be produced. There are still quite a few well-known works, so... why don't we start making Half-Life and GTA series?

This can be done, but developing such a very pure European and American game based on the Japanese cultural foundation may be unsatisfactory.

It is possible to consider expanding the number of overseas game production studios to prepare for future big productions.

However, GTA and Half-Life also have an extraordinary status in Zhu Yuxing's mind. He still wants to wait, and he wants to wait for his team to be more experienced, and then let these two series debut. peak.

The current team strength still doesn't quite meet the standards in Zhu Yuxing's mind.

It’s really impossible to start making Final Fantasy 9, but 9 is not so famous in the entire series. The development of this sequel is just to fill the regret in his heart. Compared with 9, he wants to make Final Fantasy 10.

It’s just that Final Fantasy 8 hasn’t been released yet. It’s still too early to think about a sequel. If you do it too quickly, the quality of the work will easily decline, or wait.

Dragon Quest also has a similar problem now. This has also been released to the ninth generation, and the popularity of Dragon Quest is slowly waning, because the gameplay itself is now relatively classical, and now players prefer fresh Exciting game content.

This is a historical law and cannot be influenced by human beings.

Forget it, there is still a long time to come after a day, and now the advantages of my side have been maintained, and the pressure is not too great.

Take Yusei put his plans aside, and then started to check the latest data information and executive letters sent to him.

The data information is all about the game sales results, copyright development authorization fees, and sales data of game consoles.

Under the insistence of Zhu Youxing, even if SFC has been discontinued, FC still keeps two production lines for continuous production. However, with the rapid development of technology, FC game consoles can now be made very small and at the same time. Save more games with the new FC cartridges, and even let the new FC models have a save function.

Even so, the production, packaging, transportation and sales costs of FC game consoles do not exceed 1,000 yen per unit, which is the core of the game popularization strategy that Take Yuxing has always adhered to.

Because it is cheap enough, FC has been selling well all over the world, and no one will reject a cheap and interesting thing.

Especially in low-income countries and regions, such cheap game consoles are more popular.

Up to now, the sales volume of FC has exceeded 300 million units. This number is simply scary. Even the game consoles in his previous life have not exceeded 200 million. His own FC has already sold 300 million units, which is almost the same as brushing data. Forcing the FC to continue its life, even if it has been almost unprofitable until now, Zhuyouxing insists on selling it. If ordinary companies have given up this outdated product long ago.

However, whenever Zhuyouxing sees the occasional appearance of players in low-income areas playing FC happily on the Internet, he feels that it is worthwhile to insist on doing this. Games should not be high consumption things, but Inexpensive products that everyone has a chance to experience.

The sales data of FC may not even be broken by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. FC game consoles will become a very important part of the game industry.

Other manufacturers will probably feel nauseated when they see the sales of FC. How can this be played?

Then, Zhu Yuxing took another look at the game's sales data, and then his eyes stopped on a set of data.

Game sales data in Europe.
