Chapter 147 After Class, Third Update

"Zuo Zhen-san, do you have any new game plans recently? It's the kind of game that makes people's eyes light up when they see it, and it's very fun to play."

Komura Yui already knew that Zuo Zhen handed over Crazy Football and Crazy Basketball to PCE.

This is the contract between Zuo Zhen and PCE. He can't stop it, but he hopes to win other games from Zuo Zhen in the future.

"I have some ideas."

"Can you tell me what type it is?"

Takamura asked.

Zuo Zhen took a bite of pickles worth 100,000 yen, and then said: "I want to consider making a role-playing game, but there is no clear role-playing direction yet."

"Role-playing games! This is a good genre. It is very popular now. Zuo Zhen-san, you should have learned about NGS recently, right? The Legend of Zelda launched by NGS is also developed by a company that cooperates closely with NGS. Dragon Quest has become the best in this genre.”

Komura Yu's eyes were full of envy.

Let’s not talk about abnormal-level games like Super Mario. This kind of game is really hard to come by, and even if you have excellent game producers, you may not be able to make it.

But games like The Legend of Zelda and Dragon Quest can be reproduced as long as you study them carefully.

So from last year to now, role-playing games have begun to come out one after another like a wheel battle.

And there is another very significant feature now, that is, role-playing games are really popular as soon as they are released.

Even if it is a game that obviously looks like a reskin, there are still players buying into it.

Role playing games are a real gold mine.

Sega has been coveting it for a long time.

But unfortunately, this kind of game is also very platform-specific.

Only a platform with enough sales volume could sustain the release of so many role-playing games.

Even games of poor quality can be sold for a good price.

But if Sega dares to make a garbage game now, it will 100% be abandoned by wavering players.

So even now, Sega has only made a role-playing game to test the waters, and has not dared to go too deep.

But when Zuo Zhenyi said that he wanted to make a role-playing game, Takamura Yu felt that there was hope.

"Zao Zhen-san, you said you haven't decided on a clear direction yet? Isn't your idea to make a role-playing game with a conventional heroic princess story?"

Zuo Zhen shook his head: "I really don't want to do this kind of thing. After all, this kind of thing is already ruined, and if I do it again, it will collide with my Fire Emblem."

Fire Emblem is actually essentially a story of heroes or a prince and princess.

Of course, Fire Emblem itself adds more feelings of family and country, as well as the overt and covert struggles between countries, which can be said to increase the content of the story.

It's for this reason that Fire Emblem is now very popular among adults.

On the contrary, not many children play Fire Emblem.

If we were to make a role-playing game with a royal plot such as heroes and princesses, it would be a bit repetitive.

Zuo Zhen can't guarantee it in the future, but at least for now, Zuo Zhen still wants to do something different.

It's just that for a while, he really couldn't remember any very unique role-playing games in the Famicom era.

Do you want to make a Three Kingdoms story?

No, the main selling point is still strategy, relying on management and other methods to bring fun to players, and there is not much role-playing content.

If we have now entered the 3D game era, Zuo Zhen really wants to make Dynasty Warriors.

This game can be regarded as the first of its kind in the unparalleled genre.

But if you study it carefully, you can also find that Dynasty Warriors still has a role-playing foundation.

It's just that the open world has been replaced by scenes like small gardens, allowing people to experience the ancient battlefield style.

"Well, Zuo Zhen-san, if you need help from our developers, we can provide help at any time. Even myself can provide help at any time if you need it. We will also help you think of some ideas."

Zuo Zhen smiled and shook his head: "No, I won't trouble you. I still have some ideas for the game, but I'm still confused about what to do now. I'll study it carefully when I get back."

Next, several people once again chatted about recent events in the gaming industry.

Sega is doing well in Europe, with nearly 10 million users.

It has not captured the American and Japanese markets, but it can thrive by relying on the European market.

"By the way, let me tell you a piece of news. This is news I got from an insider at NGS."

At this time, Ozawa Kenji, who had not interrupted much, suddenly spoke.

"What?"

"What's the name of the person who seemed to be giving you trouble before?... It seems to be Miyazaki. He has been dismissed from his post."

"Is it dismissed? Is it because of Zuo Zhen-san's incident?" Gao Cunxiong also asked curiously.

"Probably so. In fact, he relied on his connections to get to the top. He doesn't have much merit, and his foundation is actually unstable."

Zuo Zhen does know a little bit about this.

At that time, Miyazaki was so eager to poach him and give him a lot of benefits. In fact, it was because he himself did not have outstanding results.

If nothing like Zuo Zhen had happened, he would still be relatively secure in his position.

But Zuo Zhen's job change also supported Sega, so NGS executives naturally couldn't bear it.

It doesn't matter if Miyazaki has connections.

After all, NGS is a company that pursues profits. We can occasionally be polite, but when it comes to issues of profit, we won't be polite.

Komura Yu said calmly: "This kind of person should be removed from office. As long as NGS is not stupid, then they will definitely punish the culprit."

Komura Yu imagined that if he encountered such a situation, Sega's senior shareholders and president would probably dismiss him without hesitation.

Of course, he and Miyazaki are still different.

Komura is already a very stable management, with achievements and strength, and he also owns an original share of his own. Even if he is dismissed, he will lose face at most.

This is Miyazaki, death is not a pity.

But Takamura also has to thank Miyazaki.

Without his aggressiveness, how could Zuo Zhen have changed jobs?

Ozawa Kenji continued: "And according to my information channels, it seems that Akira Nakamura of the game department is likely to be promoted to the new managing director. This position change is quite rapid."

After speaking, Ozawa Kenji glanced at Zuozhen a few more times.

He knew that Zuo Zhen and Ozawa Kenji had a good relationship.

Thinking of this, Ozawa Kenji couldn't help but ask: "Zao Ma-san, if Ozawa comes to you and hopes that you will return to NGS, will you agree?"
