Chapter 116 Remake Game First Update

After returning to China, Zuo Zhen brought another good news to everyone. N2K agreed to build their game and also gave them an income of 300,000 US dollars.

Everyone in the rental house cheered happily.

Although the money has nothing to do with them, it's nice to brag about it.

What's more, Zuo Zhen is not stingy with rewards.

Each person received a bonus of three hundred yuan and a celebratory meal.

This year, the supply of alcohol and food has become more and more abundant. People no longer hold food stamps as tightly as they did last year and before. As long as you have money, you can do a lot of things.

At this time, the most indispensable thing for people to celebrate is wine. Several people drank happily, and then went back to their homes drunk.

The next day, Xie Qin was the first to arrive at the rental house. He seemed to be fine after drinking so much yesterday. In the past few years, he had always gained something in society. If he had a better drinking capacity, it would be his. One of the gains.

As soon as he entered the rental house, Xie Qin greeted Zuo Zhen warmly, and then asked expectantly: "Boss, are you going to develop a new game next? What kind of new type of game will it be?"

Xie Qin found that he liked the job of making game music more and more, especially when he knew that tens of millions of people overseas were listening to the music he made. The sense of accomplishment was truly indescribable.

Zuo Zhen had just gotten up and was sitting in front of one of the computers thinking. After hearing Xie Qin's words, he replied: "I won't make any new games during this time."

"Ah? What's that for? It's not a holiday, is it?"

Xie Qin was a little nervous.

Will this work also end here?

Could it be that college students have found better jobs and no longer want to make games?

If so, where should he go from here?

Zuo Zhen naturally didn't know what was going on in Xie Qin's mind. He said, "How can we take a holiday? Our development is just right now. We don't make new games, but we have other things to do."

"What about being more specific?"

"Let's wait until most people come to work."

"good."

In the past few hours, the students at the university had also finished class one after another, and then they all trotted to the rental house in unison.

Entering the rental house, they, like Xie Qin, asked what new games would be developed next.

Now they are full of fighting spirit.

After all, they each received another three hundred yuan bonus yesterday.

Doing the math, each of them has earned more than a thousand yuan this year.

If I work harder, I can even hope to earn two thousand yuan this year.

Inspired by money, they can't wait to continue playing games.

However, Zuo Zhen gave them the same response, wait for now, and you can do whatever you want while waiting.

These people simply ran to the computer and started playing King of Fighters.

NGS has been neglected by them for a long time. It seems that the last time it was turned on was more than a week ago.

After everyone, including Yu Mengchen, arrived, Zuo Zhen revealed his next plan.

"Everyone, you all know that our games can no longer be sold on NGS, but it doesn't matter if we can't sell them. We can take out the games that have been sold on NGS, improve the picture quality, improve the sound quality, and then publish them to new platforms. superior."

"Boss, will you release an enhanced version of the new game just like King of Fighters?"

"Almost, but it will definitely not reach the level of King of Fighters. After all, the performance of current game consoles is stuck here. The most it can do is to combine it with Sega's game consoles to a certain extent."

In terms of game console performance, Sega's Mark series home consoles are slightly stronger than NGS's game consoles.

The performance of NGS is only 2K memory and 2K video memory.

Sega's Mark series just received a wave of upgrades last year, with 8KB of memory and 16KB of video memory.

Other performances are generally much better than those of the Famicom.

It is obvious that games with better graphics can be made on such a game console.

The lack of reputation is mainly hindered by the quality of the games.

"First of all, improve the picture quality, sound quality and program, then let's start the squirrel war. If you have any questions, I can explain them to you one by one, so take action first!"

A total of six games have been officially released so far.

Except for Contra, which is bound by copyright and cannot be logged in on other platforms, other games can be ported to other platforms for sale at will.

This time, Zuo Zhen also obtained the PCE game console that will be released in the second half of the year from Japan Electric in advance.

Sega is temporarily unable to give them the latest MD game console to be released next year, but it is still no problem to give them a Mark series development machine of this era.

At Japan Electric Co., Ltd. Zuozhen still has to spend money to buy a development machine. He either pays the royalties himself or spends money to buy a development machine. Anyway, you can't avoid the money.

Sega was much more generous. Takamura Yu gave Zuo Zhen a development machine as soon as he made the decision.

With the development machine, everyone can remake and port the games one by one according to Zuo Zhen's requirements.

Zuo Zhen estimated that if the image quality of all five games were improved, it would take about two or three months.

These are games with not much game code content, and they are easy to modify and adjust.

If that's the case, let's just re-make all the chess and card games.

These games could not be put on the shelves before because of NGS rules, but this time neither game company set limits for themselves. When they are worried about insufficient games, how can they ask others to develop as few games as possible.

These games themselves are classic enough. Previous games such as Mega Man and Squirrel Wars have also been ported to other platforms, and their sales have been good, which proves that this road can work.

I didn’t expect that I would enter the stage of remaking the game early.

But it is indeed easier to make money for a remake, and Zuo Zhen prefers to call it porting to other platforms rather than a true remake.

A true remake would at least be a continuous release of the same game on the same platform, just like a remake of Resident Evil.

With the new job, and the workload this time was not low, Xie Qin and the others quickly got into work mode.

Yu Mengchen's workload is also relatively heavy. Zuo Zhen thought about finding a helper for Yu Mengchen now, but Yu Mengchen temporarily refused.

She said she could still bear it now and would wait until she really couldn't bear it anymore.

At least there is really no pressure to remake these games, it just means refining the original pixel graphics.

Games such as Squirrel Wars and Mega Man are typical cases of material reuse, so Yu Mengchen's workload is indeed not heavy.

And time soon came one month later, in late June, King of Fighters was officially released on Sega's Mark platform.
