Chapter 190 Promotion From Wage Earner, Fourth Update

Zuo Zhen also needs to have reservations, and it is impossible to tell all the game content in one breath.

He also needs to leave some room for himself.

Although he actually already has relevant plans for the follow-up.

The sequel to Mega Man and Double Dragon should be the first to take the lead.

Then there is what Zuo Zhen calls a side-scrolling shooting game.

This game is Metal Slug.

When I was a kid, this game was considered a coin-eating craze in arcades.

When Zuo Zhen was a kid, he didn't know how much money he invested in this game, just to be able to pass it in one life.

In the end, he finally achieved this achievement when he was in junior high school. It was the first moment of great accomplishment in Zuo Zhen's memory.

However, the result was that his parents took him out of the game arcade and punished him with cleaning for a month, so he did not appear in the game arcade again for a long time.

Zuo Zhen also remembers this section deeply.

Also, there is the HD version of The King of Fighters.

Directly transplant the arcade version's graphics to Sega's new platform, and Sega's MD can 100% present such graphics.

Then you can add some more characters and some plot stories.

It is a pity that Zuo Zhen can no longer borrow the characters from Street Fighter, because this series of works was also released on arcades this year, but it has not been promoted on home console platforms yet.

Zuo Zhen can now be regarded as seizing the opportunity and letting his games take advantage of the home console platform in advance.

Now it is obvious that the overall influence of King of Fighters is more than that of Street Fighter.

Zuo Zhen knows that Street Fighter will have the greatest influence in the world in the future, but this kind of thing is actually caused by many reasons unrelated to the game itself and the game.

In this world, Zuo Zhen has more mature game development experience, so there is no big problem in making The King of Fighters surpass Street Fighter.

Later, Zuo Zhen also thought about developing the second part of Heavy Machinery and another series of works.

Zuo Zhen has always had the idea of ​​spreading his domestic culture to the world.

But it has always been difficult to achieve before.

But now...

It seems that he has begun to have some influence in the Asian cultural circle.

Komura Yu told him that Sega has now sold tens of thousands of game consoles in Southeast Asia and other countries.

The majority of these sales are Zuozhen games, and according to local questionnaires, more and more people are very impressed by the real game LOGO that appears at the beginning of the game.

Some players have even equated the logo of the real game with the game itself, just like what Nintendo did back then, equating Nintendo with the game.

Zuo Zhen would feel very sorry if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity now.

So he finally began to consider making a work about domestic culture.

If people want to talk about cultures that have always been influential in the Asian cultural circle, the Three Kingdoms should be considered one of them.

Even Japan now has a series of Three Kingdoms series.

And for a long time to follow, various works in the Three Kingdoms series have continued to shine in the game world.

However, so many Three Kingdoms-type games are not produced domestically.

Most of them come from the Three Kingdoms series created in Japan.

If possible, Zuo Zhen also wants to get this name back.

My family’s culture is always promoted by others, and the publicity of others is better than that of my own country. That doesn’t make sense, does it?

So in the future, Zuo Zhen also considered making a strategy Three Kingdoms game, similar to Three Kingdoms.

However, the first generation of Three Kingdoms actually had many flaws, and its current sales can only be considered tepid.

Zuo Zhen, on the other hand, is more like a dimensionally reduced version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Sorry about the company of the Three Kingdoms, this pit will belong to me too.

But Zuo Zhen has not told Gao Cunxiong about these.

No matter how much Takamura Yu asked, Zuo Zhen refused to answer and planned to keep it a secret for the time being. Anyway, if Zuo Zhen could promise that he would definitely do what he promised Sega before, Sega would just wait for the release of its game console.

When it came to December in 1987, Zuo Zhen's city was already freezing even though it was located in the south. Coupled with the cold magic attack from the south, Zuo Zhen had to install some heating equipment for the entire house.

However, looking at the state of his employees, Zuo Zhen didn't seem to care about the cold at all.

"Boss, this is the latest version of Mega Man 100,000 demo. We should be able to find someone else to test it."

Zuo Zhen nodded: "Of course, what about Double Dragon? How is the sequel to Double Dragon?"

"It's also very good. The boss will know just by looking at it."

The second part of Mega Man is different from the first part in that the number of characters in the game has further increased.

And there are more interactive elements in the second part.

Thanks to the higher performance of 16-bit game consoles, the development team was incredibly efficient.

But two people had a headache.

That is Yu Mengchen and Xie Qin.

One of them is a full-time painter, and the other is a full-time sound effects musician.

Both professions are very unique and difficult for others to get involved in.

That is to say, Zuo Zhen can still rely on some memories from his previous life to help two people.

But that was only to help, he couldn't do much else.

Xie Qin was busy almost around the clock, and by the time he hit the back of his head, it was difficult to complete the sound effects work for the two games.

At this time, it is different from the eight-bit computer era.

In the era of 16-bit game consoles, the effects of sound effects and music have simply improved qualitatively.

And this also has stricter requirements for sound effects and music.

The same goes for Yu Mengchen.

Seeing the two people busy, Zuo Zhen finally decided to add more people to help them.

Even though Yu Mengchen was reluctant, Zuo Zhen still pushed ahead.

Originally, Zuo Zhen wanted Yu Mengchen to help introduce some classmates to her class.

But Yu Mengchen himself didn't seem to be very interested, and Zuo Zhen also vaguely knew that Yu Mengchen didn't seem to have a good relationship with the people in his class and dormitory, so he didn't insist anymore and tried to find a way to find it elsewhere. Two people came to help.

One of them is a programmer from Shanghai University of Technology. He likes art very much and is a gifted talent.

Another one is an employee from the capital.

This person was introduced by Zuo Zhen through his teacher Zhan Weishan.

His teacher Zhan Weishan's latest project was to cooperate with schools in the capital. When Zuo Zhen went to Zhan Weishan to express his needs, Zhan Weishan recommended this person to Zuo Zhen without saying a word.

Finally, there is the sound engineer.

This time Zuozhen plans to subdivide content development such as art and music.

From now on, Yu Mengchen will only be responsible for the core art design, while the other two will handle the character design and scene design in the game respectively.

The sound effects will be divided into theme music, scene music and sound effects.

Since then, Yu Mengchen and Xie Qin have been promoted to management positions, and are no longer just employees.
