Chapter 166 Top Game Developers Fourth Update

After Zuo Zhen learned the news, he thought about taking a look at the company's situation the next time he came to Japan.

In the previous life, the first work of Final Fantasy can be regarded as creating a new gameplay and type, that is, the job transfer system, and then the third-person battle type, which is different from the battle perspective of Dragon Quest.

This was considered to be of some groundbreaking significance at the time.

but……

All of this is based on a world where Zuozhen does not exist.

Zuozhen's Heavy Duty was released several years ahead of schedule. Heavy Duty itself also borrowed the advantages of many role-playing games, including Dragon Quest.

I'm afraid Square Enix's Final Fantasy series won't end well.

Because this is tantamount to directly colliding with yourself.

After returning to China, Zuo Zhen started working on the next game non-stop.

As the game industry has now entered the era of 16-bit game consoles, Zuo Zhen feels that there is no great need for him to continue to stay in the 8-bit era.

The PCE development kit provided by Nippon Electric is very complete. It is no longer a dream to develop home console games with better graphics.

Zuo Zhen wants to enter the 16-bit game console industry in advance and seize this market with NGS in advance.

Let NGS stay in the 8-bit computer era.

It would be nice to leave the era of 16-bit game consoles to Zuo Zhen.

No, not just the 16-bit game console era, but also the subsequent eras, leave them all to Zuo Zhen.

Since NGS is so arrogant, let them continue to be so arrogant.

So, what game are you going to develop next?

The role-playing games can be put aside for the time being, or we can start developing the sequel to Mega Man step by step.

Early Mega Man games were released in the eight-bit era.

But this is not a problem. Entering the 16-bit game console era in advance will greatly improve the game performance, so it will definitely be a crushing posture for Mega Man in the eight-bit console era.

Well, let’s recruit people first and then prepare for the development of the Mega Man sequel.

The advantage of a sequel like this is that it naturally has supportive players.

Now Zuo Zhen already has a very stable player group, so he should make good use of this group to give himself a greater advantage.

‘The system prompts that the game developer you require has been retrieved and needs to be checked and confirmed. ’

Just when Zuo Zhen was preparing to develop a new game, a pop-up window suddenly appeared in the system.

This is a very rare active pop-up window in the system.

The last time I used the system's search function to find a game developer was before I went to Japan.

That's almost a month, right?

The efficiency of finding people is really not high.

But the person you find like this must be very special, right?

Zuo Zhen temporarily put down what he was doing, and then clicked to enter the system interface. He wanted to see what kind of game developer the system had been looking for for a whole month.

Entering the talent search interface, a name and some basic information appeared in front of Zuo Zhen.

Alexei Pajitnov

A native of Maozi.

Now lives in Moscow, the capital of Mao Zedong.

Top game developers.

Zuo Zhen was slightly startled when he saw this information.

Is this a foreigner’s name?

No, not just foreign names.

Zuo Zhen is still familiar with this name.

this……

Isn’t he the creator of Tetris?

Zuo Zhen, the game developer, was so impressed.

It was mainly his creation of Tetris that became popular all over the world in later generations.

Tetris once almost had the ability to dominate the world, and for a long time it was the world's number one best-selling game.

According to records, Tetris sold more than 500 million copies in the era after Zuo Zhen, which was a real profit.

The system directly found a very powerful developer for itself.

But speaking of which, apart from developing Tetris himself, Alexey did not develop other famous games later.

Zuo Zhen really doesn't know the specific reason for this.

but……

If you can take such a person under your command.

There are still many benefits to yourself.

At the same time, Zuo Zhen also remembered another thing.

There was a fierce competition over the Tetris copyright owned by Alexei.

The final winner is Nintendo.

Then Nintendo relied on the launch of Tetris on the handheld console, allowing players around the world to realize the fun of handheld consoles.

It can be said that the handheld GB and Tetris at that time were a match made in heaven.

The two sides are at the level where they can cooperate with each other to reach their peak.

Without top-level works like Tetris, it would be difficult for Nintendo's handheld GB to have very strong communication capabilities from the beginning.

Moreover, if this game can also be acquired...

NGS in this world will probably be very difficult.

At least the handheld business will have a hard time.

According to the development timeline, NGS should be quietly developing a handheld console now, and the Shenji GB should be released soon.

Zuo Zhen didn't sleep well all night because the system was looking for someone.

He thought the system would only find him a domestic game developer.

But maybe it’s because Zuo Zhen himself has a lot of requirements.

You need to have certain game development capabilities from the beginning, and your potential must also be high.

But now the domestic game industry has not even developed. Apart from Zuo Zhen, are there any game developers?

Zuo Zhen should be the only one in China now.

So the system finally located a foreigner.

It is still three or four years before the disintegration of Maozi's country takes place, but now the decline is fully visible.

As long as you operate correctly, it is really possible to recruit Alexey to your staff.

Zuo Zhen studied like this all night, until early the next morning, Yu Mengchen came to the company from the school with a sketchpad.

At the gate, Yu Mengchen said hello to the gatekeeper, and then entered the building, only to find that the lights in the building seemed to have not been turned off.

It's obviously daytime now, why didn't you turn off the lights?

Was there anyone there all night last night?

If no one is around, the gatekeeper should come in and turn off the lights.

Then she discovered Zuo Zhen, who had been busy with something.

"Zuo Zhen, didn't you go back all night?"

Yu Mengchen was a little surprised when she came to Zuo Zhen.

Zuo Zhen looked like he hadn't slept well all night.

Zuo Zhen came to his senses, looked up and saw Yu Mengchen, only to realize that he seemed to have really not slept all night.

"Ah, I was thinking about something. I didn't expect that the whole night would pass like this."

Yu Mengchen asked: "Is it about the new game development direction?"

Yu Mengchen recalled Zuo Zhen's previous state before he developed heavy-duty mechas, and had been thinking about what kind of role-playing game to develop.

"Huh? No, it's another thing. Oh, by the way, Mengchen, I seem to have heard you say that your family members used to do business in Maozi Country?"
