Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo-Chapter 932: I Am Very Pleased

It became a sort of positive feedback loop.

So now, when someone claimed that Assassin's Creed—the poster child of industrialized development—had undergone a major leap forward, no one really bought it.

There was no reason for Assassin's Creed to change.

It already had a stable fanbase, and Takayuki himself had once said the series could remain unchanged for at least four installments.

Gamestar Electronic Entertainment hadn't even promoted the game heavily before launch—the sales were driven purely by the company's reputation and the loyalty of Assassin's Creed fans.

As for these devs, they didn't care for formulaic games anymore. They felt they had standards now and should be studying more meaningful works.

So, with skepticism in their hearts, they opened Assassin's Creed: Revelations at the insistence of their tired colleague, just to humor him.

Truthfully, the game wasn't drastically different from previous entries.

The mechanics had been expanded a bit, but not by much.

But what caught them off guard was an unpredictable randomness—something they couldn't quite explain—that added layers of unexpected richness to otherwise simple gameplay.

One moment, you'd meet a chatty passerby recommending you go fishing. On the way, you'd get caught up in a scuffle with violent enforcers. Then, with a bounty on your head, you'd flee the city... and still go fishing.

The stories were weird, absurd even, but somehow made sense in their own way.

And there were so many of them. Overflowing, really.

It felt like no matter how long you played, the game would always have something new.

The main storyline remained intact, but surprisingly, it began to feel secondary. The people and events you encountered along the way became the true highlights.

"So? Isn't it just like I said? This Assassin's Creed—no, this game—is completely different from everything we've played before."

"Yeah... it's definitely different," someone finally admitted.

Then someone else added, "Have you noticed? The stories barely repeat. Unless you follow an NPC around for over half an hour, you won't hear the same voice lines or see the same actions. And the whole game is just 30-something gigabytes."

"Exactly! If the content is really this deep, the game should be way bigger!"

"What if... we break open the game files?"

Their eyes lit up with curiosity.

"Let's do it. Let's dissect the game files."

"Yeah! Maybe we'll find something in there."

They immediately got to work.

Just then, their department head walked through the door.

He'd been out drinking and singing karaoke the night before—a classic night out in Japanese work culture.

Still groggy, he noticed a group huddled around a few computers.

He blinked and grumbled, "What are you guys doing? Why aren't you at your desks? Just because the CEO gave us more development time doesn't mean you can slack off!"

"Ah, boss—we're not slacking. We're analyzing the Assassin's Creed game data."

"Huh? What?"

They eagerly began explaining what they had found.

As the department head gradually sobered up, he asked, "You're saying Revelations uses tech we haven't seen before?"

"Yes. We don't know how they did it, but somehow they packed a ton of dynamic content into a relatively small game file."

"Some kind of advanced compression? Like what Sekiro used?"

At launch, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice had only been about 20 GB, yet it offered rich environments, deep combat, and compelling storylines—highly praised by players and devs alike.

Suri Electronics had even held an internal tech session to study its structure.

"No, this is different. It's something else entirely. We haven't figured it out yet, which is why we're looking into it."

The department head nodded, satisfied. "Good. I'm glad to see you actually took my suggestion seriously and played the game. Honestly, I expected all of you to go out drinking instead."

The room fell silent.

Awkward laughter broke out.

Most of them had gone drinking.

If not for a few colleagues who had genuinely played the game and shared their experience the next morning, none of them would've realized just how different this Assassin's Creed really was.

Now, they were just glad they didn't miss it.
