Chapter 865 New Game

After selling the global copyright of "Xiangjiang Cube" at a sky-high price, the Japanese people at Kirin Game Company fell into a situation with nothing to do.

Yin Jun was also generous, giving each of them a big red envelope worth no less than 500,000 US dollars, and letting them go back to Japan to rest for a month.

But after resting and returning to Xiangjiang, they felt a little unable to sit still.

If you want to talk about the Japanese attitude and spirit towards work, it is really worth learning from the Chinese people.

They are actually troubled and uneasy because there is nothing to do. They have no leisurely time to pick up a comic and drink coffee to spend the day leisurely.

Of course, they are also trying to develop some small programs or make some technical innovations, but if they had such great abilities, they would have become famous in Japan long ago, and there would be no need for Yin Jun to pull them into the spotlight. Come to Xiangjiang.

Therefore, when they are busy but achieve nothing, they miss the days when they had goals, motivation, and energy even more.

Nakata Tomoko couldn't stand still anymore and ran directly to Yin Jun's office for help.

"Young Master Jun!" Nakata Tomogo's Cantonese address was very skillful and his pronunciation was very standard. Then he switched to English: "Look, our "Xiangjiang Cube" project has been completed for more than a month, and so have everyone. I am very motivated and want to move on to the next project... Do you think it is better for us to make "Resident Evil" or "Tomb Raider"?"

Yin Jun shook his head and smiled, "Nakata, you've learned too much now! Even if I ask you to do it now, can you do it with your current technical level and innovation ability?"

Nakata Tomogo's old face turned red.

Kirin Games certainly can't make these two games, not even giants like Nintendo and Sega.

He originally wanted to use this as an excuse to ask Yin Jun to come up with another project, like "Xiangjiang Cube", which was not too difficult but was very innovative and within their capabilities.

"Okay, don't put on such a face." Yin Jun waved his hand and said, "You have had enough rest. I have already prepared a project here, and you will have to be busy again."

"real!?"

Nakata Tomohiro was overjoyed, "Master Jun, we are not afraid of being busy or hard work! As long as it allows us to work!"

Tsk tsk.

This attitude is truly unparalleled.

This is also the most important reason why Yin Jun is willing to buy their company and let them make games even though their technical capabilities are insufficient.

Attitude is everything.

The most important thing about games is not technology at all, but creativity.

I don’t lack creativity at all!

Yin Jun opened a large safe in the office, rummaged around inside, and took out a thick document bag.

Holding it in his hand, Nakata Tomogo saw its name.

"Super Mario Bros."

There is also a Chinese one next to it.

"Super Mario Bros."

Some words in Chinese are basically present in Japanese, and their meanings basically remain unchanged.

Looking at this word, Nakata Tomogo didn't understand the meaning except for the three words "Mario", but he still understood the rest.

"What kind of game is this?" Nakata Tomogo asked curiously.

"An adventure game in which a plumber defeats the devil and saves the princess." Yin Jun answered seriously.

Nakata Tomogo had a look of surprise on his face, and wanted to say a few more words, but found that he didn't know anything about the game, so he could only shut up.

The big title that Yin Jun mentioned really made him feel a little nervous. If it was such a complicated game, I wonder if Kirin Games could develop it?

The young man smiled and said nothing.

He was just using the most pretentious commentary to describe the game.

Ten years from now, every child will know what Super Mario Bros. is, and it is not complicated at all and is easy to get started and master.

Any game cannot be made too complex, otherwise your audience will be very narrow.

Only by making the game younger, younger, more diverse, and more interesting can we attract more game players.

As one of the best-selling home console games in the world, "Super Mario Bros." is also the ancestor of the TV version of home games.

In fact, he is just a little guy who likes to drill water pipes. He pushes mushrooms on the screen, steps on bad guys, passes various terrain levels, and spits bullets to defeat the devil BOSS in the final level.

Basically, children over eight years old can pass the first level in three to five times. The difficulty of the second level will increase a little, and then the difficulty will gradually increase... In the end, middle school students will need to work very hard to complete the level.

But it is not boring. The gold coins that pop out, grown mushrooms, invisible mushrooms, spit and bomb mushrooms, invincible mushrooms, etc. all make people feel very interesting. Some people are not busy passing the level just to find mushrooms everywhere. Playing with it.

"Super Mario Bros." is the first project to make this type of adventure game.

Its many enlightening meanings can be seen in many games in the future.

For example, soldiers, generals, BOSS, level-based games, operability, role-playing, upgrade elements...etc.

With so much interesting stuff coming together for the first time ever, there's no reason why Super Mario Bros. shouldn't explode.

In terms of technical difficulty, "Super Mario Bros." is not difficult either. Yin Jun has already drawn the levels, various props, characters, etc., which is equivalent to giving them the image of the game in their minds. .

In this case, if they can't play a game that just uses ordinary arcade buttons, then Yin Jun can give up on them.

In fact, what Yin Jun hopes to make more is a fighting game - "Street Fighter".

"Street Fighter", a super big IP that was delayed in the previous life, felt very regretful to Yin Jun, so he was determined to build it up.

Comics, animation, game peripherals, game consoles, adapted movies...etc., these should all be developed.

"Street Fighter"'s status in the hearts of fighting game fans around the world is really no less important than "Transformers" in the hearts of children.

Although its audience will be narrower, many young people will buy it.

I dare not say that it can compare with peripherals of "Transformers", but it can still possess at least one-third of the strength.

With only one-third of this amount, the "Street Fighter" industry chain will not be less than 10 billion US dollars, and it will bring Yin Jun a long-lasting project that can last for 30 years.

In the previous life of "Street Fighter", the disadvantage was that it only had battles and did not conduct in-depth research and development on the storyline.

If the plot of such a world martial arts competition had been set up before the "Street Fighter" game was launched, and various clues were used to connect the protagonists and give them real flesh and blood, then they would be more Feng.x is more specific and more popular among game fans.

However, it is a pity that the current CUP does not meet the standards that can be used in Street Fighter. Various technical constraints make it impossible to develop this game.

At least we have to wait until the WINDOWS system is launched, those game development software companies will develop various software, and then Intel will update the motherboard and CPU.

In this way, the software and hardware conditions are all ready, that is, around 1985, research and development can begin.

Of course, this is also a previous life.

In this life, Yin Jun, as long as WINDOWS starts to come out, he will try to influence the process of WINDOWS and strive to let them upgrade from DOS system to WINDOWS system as soon as possible to further promote software upgrades.

As for Intel, he has no choice, but he can place an order.

It is also possible to place orders according to your own needs and let Intel speed up research and development under the pressure of money.

However, no matter how fast it is, you still have to wait two or three years, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Therefore, the second game that Yin Jun came up with was "Super Mario Bros." which was very simple to understand and highly playable.

"This game is much more difficult than "Xiangjiang Cube". I don't ask for your development progress until the day it is ready." Yin Jun said his instructions, "But just like "Xiangjiang Cube", it must be Be the best and don’t be frivolous. We at Qilin Games may not produce many games, but they must be classics.”

"Yes, I understand!" Nakata Tomogang stood up holding the folder and bowed seriously: "Please believe in our efforts, we will not let you down!"

"It should be so as not to disappoint game fans." Yin Jun laughed.

Seeing that Yin Jun was in a good mood, Nakata Tomogo said quickly, "There is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time. Because our Kirin Game Company's "Xiangjiang Cube" is very successful, and now there are many people who are not allowed to play in Japan. All the designers who have great ambitions want to join our company... Do you think we can take this opportunity to expand our R&D team? I know a few people who are really powerful."

Yin Jun nodded, "Are they willing to come to Xiangjiang?"

"Yes!" Nakata Tomogo said immediately, "For those of us who are engaged in R&D, there is nothing that is not allowed even in mainland China, let alone Xiangjiang. As long as we have a place to eat and live, there is room for R&D equipment, that’s completely enough.”

These are the first generation of otakus!

Yin Jun smiled in his heart, and then gave the reply, "Then let's recruit. As long as they are talented and willing to come to Xiangjiang, they can do it. You can discuss the salary conditions with them and follow our company's regulations. Don't be afraid of spending money. .”

"OK!"

Nakata Tomogang felt excited.

If we recruit those powerful guys, then our upcoming big project will definitely go more smoothly!

Although the boss said we were not in a hurry, we did it too slowly. Isn’t that uninteresting?

Only by completing it quickly and well can our value be reflected!
