Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 68 Super Mario 3
Zhu Yuxing 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 world, making it easier to spread the game console, and it will be very useful to promote the world in the future.

In the face of the sudden appearance of competitors, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment did not seem to have much reaction.

This made Suri 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 documents.

However, it was found that the other party did not have any response to the infringement claim, and I do not know the reason.

Zhu Youxing ignored the other party and continued to do things at his own pace.

There is still a month before their game consoles are released. Anyway, the propaganda arm can't twist the thigh, so there is no need to increase investment in this area. Isn't it delicious to have that time to make a game?
So Suri Electronics started to promote it vigorously, and it soon occupied the sight of more people.

As for Zhu Yuxing, he opened a game-making class in the company, recruiting those who are interested in making games, and also promised to give some feedback to game producers.

If the finished game is approved, you can manufacture 30.00 boxes of game cassettes at Youxing Entertainment without paying any deposit for early sales. After excluding the production cost of the cassettes, Youxing Entertainment will draw from it. 30.00% of the cassette sales will be taken, and the sales channel will take another 40.00%, and the remaining [-]% will belong to the game production group.

Youxing Entertainment can earn 30.00% of the money without spending any cost. The 30.00% of one or two production groups may not be obvious, but what about dozens or hundreds of models added together?

That's probably more money than making your own games.

Of course, making money is not the purpose of setting up a class. People in this world are not short of creativity, they just lack the method of how to realize the creativity of making games.

Zhu Yuxing still hopes that more people can invest in game production. When they see that game production can also make money, this industry will also have a virtuous circle.

With the functions of the current red and white machines, an average team of only about five people can start creating games, and no particularly complicated staffing is required.

At this time, the programmer and the art in the game can take care of it, but the game cover needs to be designed by someone, and several professional original artists from Yuxing Entertainment can help, just pay them extra.

In the previous Atari era, just a programmer could even make four or five games a month, but the quality was very worrying.

Not long after the Red Fortress was released, Zhu Youxing temporarily slowed down the second game development team, and asked them, more than 20 people, to teach those who are just getting started how to actually make a game.

They have a lot of experience now, and it is obviously not a problem to teach others how to make games. At the same time, they can also introspect themselves, which is also beneficial to the production of their games in the future.

At the same time, there are the third, fourth and second game development departments that have just been established. Zhu Yuxing plans to let these two development departments produce games of specific categories in the future, just like the first development department. You can hand over some classic series directly to one of the two groups and do it for a long time, such as long-term projects such as The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy.

As for Zhu Yuxing himself, he ran and started playing the game again. Of course, this time he had to bring more people to make it together.

Compared with company management, he felt that he really liked game development more.

Moreover, since there are already competitors this time, I should use video games to fight back, and really teach them to be human.

In order to deal with the opponent, the game he is preparing to do is Super Mario 3.

Super Mario 3 can be said to be a milestone in the gaming industry.

According to a certain media statistics in Zhu Yuxing's previous life, no one who is a game producer has not played Super Mario 3.

This is one of Mario's pinnacles.

Zhu Youxing originally wanted to wait a little longer, this is more or less a big move on the red and white machine, but it seems that the production has to be started in advance.

Before, the total capacity of the two Mario games was almost tens of KB.

The upper limit of the capacity of the red and white machine cassettes made by Takeyuho and Hayazawa Airi at the beginning is 256KB.

This is also the initial functional limit of the red and white machine.

But Super Mario 3 has a game capacity of 384kb
Clearly exceeded its capacity limit.

But programming has a magical power. Many game producers in later generations call the game producers of the eighties and 90s the masters of miracles.

They are always able to stuff their limited functionality with fun stuff without any problem.

Now Zhu Yuxing is just reproducing the path that the predecessors have traveled.

He started a busy month with a few programmers drawn from the first game development team.

In fact, in addition to Zhu Yuxing himself, the other programmers are all assisting the work, and Zhu Yuxing is the main force.

They all just completed the programming according to Zhu Yuxing's requirements, and then Zhu Yuxing checked and compressed the capacity, and wrote it to the cassette.

They watched Zhu Youxing forcibly write the hundreds of KB codes that he typed out into the limited-capacity cassette, and the cassette could still run perfectly.

The promotion for Super Mario Bros. 3 was also launched around the same time, and it seems that this is the way to deal with the competition.

Use your own game against the opponent's game console to see if the game is more important, or the game console is more important.

When the kids who were very fond of Super Mario saw that a third generation of Super Mario suddenly appeared, they were stunned at first.

"Did we miss something? Why is there a Super Mario 3 all of a sudden? What about Super Mario 2?"

"I don't know, don't the numbers at the back represent the game order?"

"Forget it, since Super Mario 3 is out, you must buy it!"

It's great that the kids are quickly ditching the numbers, and there's a new game coming out, and it's a sequel to Super Mario.

But anyone who owns a red and white machine has never played Super Mario.

On the one hand, because of the reasons that come with the game console itself, even if you are not interested, you will go in and play a little bit.

On the other hand, Super Mario itself is very interesting, adults can't say it, but children don't like to play.

Now Super Mario has become the second best character in the hearts of children.

The first one is Superman Koshien, the protagonist of this world's special drama.

It seems that there is a long way to go to shake the status of this special drama hero in the hearts of children.

As for the parents, they were not too happy to hear the news.

Some of the games that were released before were both liked and disliked by children. If there was something they wanted to buy, the parents would write a blank check, and the children would gradually forget about it.

But Super Mario 3 is different.

It's useless to say anything, parents must buy it, everything can be compromised before, but Super Mario 3 can't be compromised.

Parents are heartbroken.

Not even a game on its own.

However, such parents are still in the minority.

Because most parents want to play Super Mario 3 when they see it themselves, let alone kids.

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 will be staggered from Super Mario 3, otherwise it is estimated that this first game by outsiders The mother who made the game would be beaten would not recognize it.

Wait until you finish fighting with Suri Electronics.
