This handheld has a total development time of up to two years.
After the successful construction of Yuxing's new building two years later, the new handheld will be officially released as a way to celebrate.
Therefore, Zhu Yuxing asked the engineering development department to develop a game development kit for the new handheld as soon as possible, so that its own game development team could develop new games on the new handheld as soon as possible.
An initial version of the new handheld development kit is initially scheduled to be given out within two months.
Now the average development time of a game has been stretched to more than a year.
Most of the employees also think that the development time of one year can be said to be just right, they will not be too tired, and they can give full play to their creativity.
They also feel that a year of game development time is already quite a long time.
But this is because they have not really experienced how complicated the production process of the top 3A games in the future, otherwise they will not think that a year of game development time is already very long.
After the meeting, Zhu Yuxing went directly to the game development floor. He was going to see some of the recent game development progress of the game development teams.
The first development team has been cultivating Dragon Quest.
And under the suggestion of Take Yusei, he started to create some derivative games in the IP of Dragon Quest.
Recently, they just happened to be developing a business simulation game of Dragon Quest.
It tells the story of a shop dedicated to providing all services to heroes around the world in a parallel time and space.
Heroes from any time and space can come to this store unintentionally to choose their own products.
This means that all the heroes of the series can come out to make a linkage. When the game was just announced, it was quite interesting to players.
To be honest, Zhu Yuxing is also very interested, and he is also waiting to play.
Dragon Quest in the previous life has never developed a business simulation game, so it is quite special. It is a unique creation in this world, so Zhu Yuxing will be interested.
Moreover, he is the boss and can play in advance at any time, but in order to maintain a sense of expectation, Zhu Yuxing decided to wait until the game is actually developed before experiencing it, and forget the semi-finished product.
The second, third, and fourth development teams usually develop various independent IP works that were popular in the past life for Zhu Yuxing, that is, the kind of IP that usually only produces one or two works.
And then occasionally Take Yusei will assign their three teams to develop the Mario series.
As the signboard of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, you must have enough senior developers to participate in the development, otherwise it is not a good thing to smash word of mouth.
Mario in his previous life hardly ever had a bad reputation, and Zhu Yuxing didn't want to come to this world and lose face.
Now their three teams are developing several previously niche sports games, including the Hot Bloods series and Super Baseball.
The fifth development team is now working on a new Final Fantasy title, but not Final Fantasy 8.
Final Fantasy 8 may not be as famous as Final Fantasy 7 in the original world, but it is also a boutique game, and it also inherits high-quality CG animation and plot.
However, this does not require Zhuyouxing's hands-on participation in the development, he only needs to give the general settings, and let them create the rest by themselves.
The development cycle of Final Fantasy 8 is bound to be very long, so during this process, you can also do some derivative works by the way.
For example, Final Fantasy Tactics A, which was once very popular on the GBA.
The strategy version directly overturns the previous turn-based combat gameplay of Final Fantasy, and uses a brand-new form of battle chess gameplay, which makes it easier to play. Coupled with the image of the Q version, it has attracted a wave of new fans of the Final Fantasy series. .
It just so happens that the first development team is also preparing to register the Dragon Quest business simulation game on GBA. The two parties are planning to compete internally from different angles, which will also promote the ability of the two development teams to improve.
The sixth development team has no game development plans recently. They recently launched a game that uses somatosensory shooting on the GS1. This team likes game development on various new technologies, and Zhu Yuxing also encourages different teams. different styles.
The seventh and ninth teams are basically all out of the company, and they seem to be going out to do pre-development research on various games.
For example, some people seem to go to a certain kendo gym to learn kendo, some go to climb mountains and rocks, and some also go to play parkour, in short, they are all kinds of things.
When Street Fighter was developed before, there were many employees in the two teams, and under the concept of Zhu Yuxing, if you want to develop an excellent game, you should first learn the related majors of this game.
If you want to create a new fighting game, then go and learn new fighting moves.
Obviously these employees listened, so they decided to go out collectively to collect materials.
Take Yusei seriously suspects that they are paid to go out to play.
But this is not a problem, as long as they develop a good game, it doesn't matter what they do.
The eighth development team is even more exaggerated. Recently, the engineering development department has just developed a racing steering wheel handle suitable for GS1. After several iterations, this steering wheel handle can be said to be excellent enough.
Now the gang of employees are obsessed with playing the latest Need for Speed with the steering wheel on the GS1.
They didn't even notice that Zhu Yuxing was standing behind them, and they were still concentrating on playing the racing game together.
Zhu Yuxing gradually felt that these employees seemed to be running in an outrageous direction, but this is also the company's cultural state. It is easy to work, but it is also necessary to be serious and focused when developing games. Zhu Yuxing generally does not impose too many restrictions. .
And the last tenth development team is a lot more normal.
They happen to be in a critical stage of development.
The original Wario Manufacturing gave them a lot of creative inspiration, and they started to use their brains to create more interesting games.
This development group is also the group with the least participation by Take Yusei, and he just hopes that this group can have more ideas of his own.
The game they recently developed is a game that can use the somatosensory function of the GS1 to do sports. What they do every day is to work hard on the numerical adjustment of the somatosensory.
Somatosensory sports games are also one of the development directions of GS1. The purpose is to target those non-player groups. Zhu Yuxing has always encouraged groups to develop more similar games. The tenth group is obviously very interested.
After roughly inspecting the status of the ten groups, Zhu Yuxing felt that his company should be relatively stable. Although some groups are doing a bit outrageous things, the problems are not too big. Then, since the employees are all Very safe, should I also consider making a new game?
what to do? Zhu Yuxing began to think seriously.
