Chapter 200 The Advantage Is Mine. Third Update

"Use a new game? I thought Zuozhen, your Squirrel War is more suitable to compete with Super Mario."

Zuo Zhen shook his head: "No, the basic tone of Squirrel Wars has been formed. The two squirrels are destined not to change much. Of course, Sonic the Hedgehog can also link up with Squirrel Wars, but there is no way to assume the responsibilities of Sonic the Hedgehog. "

Sonic the Hedgehog's biggest feature is speed.

Sonic the Hedgehog is also the only one in the side-scrolling game.

Later, Sonic the Hedgehog even overpowered Super Mario for a long time.

It just relies on the unique sense of speed and graphic expression of the game.

Sonic the Hedgehog was launched on 16-bit game consoles when it was first born. Sega put a lot of effort into creating this game character and invested a lot of money. The final result was also good. Sega became one of the few Sega to enter the tens of millions of sales club. s work.

It would be a shame if a game like this was missed.

Zuo Zhen found paper and pen, briefly described the general image of Sonic the Hedgehog, and then said: "This is the character I envisioned for Sonic the Hedgehog. The biggest feature of this character is running, running, as fast as lightning. Run, a dazzling run."

Zuo Zhen drew a series of game levels on paper.

Sonic the Hedgehog will go through scenes where he can continuously accelerate himself, and in the end he can go faster and faster.

This feeling of getting faster and faster is actually similar to the racing games of later generations, which stimulates people's adrenaline with a sense of speed.

Super Mario uses jumping as the core of the game to continuously expand and develop new gameplay, while Sonic the Hedgehog uses the sense of speed as the core of the game to bring people the most extreme adrenaline enjoyment.

When Zuo Zhen was playing the game, what he thought most about was how to get Sonic the Hedgehog to get more golden rings in the level and reach the destination as quickly as possible, just like a 100-meter race.

Every time you pass a level in shorter time, you will be greatly satisfied.

Zuo Zhen has been fascinated by this kind of thing more than once.

Now Zuo Zhen just wants to recreate this feeling.

As Zuo Zhen continued to describe, Pajitnov already had this image of Sonic the Hedgehog running rapidly in the scene in his mind.

The ultra-high speed sounds really refreshing.

"Do you have a sense of speed...I know, then I will cooperate with others on procedural issues, but about language issues..."

Zuo Zhen said: "Don't worry about this. I will find a few programmers who are good at speaking English to cooperate with you. But let me tell you, this work will be tiring."

Pajitnov said: "I am not afraid of getting tired, especially when it comes to playing games. I am very patient."

Making games is a very happy moment for him, and he even enjoys the process of making games, even if this series of processes seems boring to outsiders.

After giving the work to Pajitnov, the next step is to arrange their own work for everyone else.

Yu Mengchen will be mainly responsible for the original paintings and promotional images of Sonic the Hedgehog and Heavy Duty.

The cover of the game was handed over to Yu Mengchen.

For the character's animation effect, Yu Mengchen only needed to provide a basic character image according to Zuo Zhen's requirements, and the rest was left to the other two full-time painters to supplement the character's smooth animation effect.

There are also issues with sound effects.

Xie Qin didn't come to work today. He said he planned to stay at home and study the main scene tracks of several games.

The sound quality of game consoles has improved a lot since entering the 16-bit era.

This has also raised the requirements for music a lot, and we can no longer just fool around with some basic sound effects.

Zuo Zhen didn't bother him too much when it came to something that required people to create seriously, and just let him figure it out on his own.

However, other sound effects need to be produced as soon as possible.

Sonic the Hedgehog’s running, jumping, eating golden rings, and the sound effects produced after various character interactions must be made well enough.

There is no need for Xie Qin to worry about this anymore, it only needs to be done by the other two sound effects engineers.

After this series of tasks were arranged, everyone felt a lot of pressure.

In the past, a game in the eight-bit era could be produced in half a month. Only games with a lot of details like Heavy Duty took longer.

But this time, just a Sonic the Hedgehog that highlighted the sense of speed had so many details, and everyone immediately realized that times were about to change.

No wonder the boss suddenly increased the number of people in the company, and the company that originally had only seven people suddenly increased to more than fifty people now.

Even now, Zuo Zhen is still looking for Zhan Weishan and other channels to help him increase his manpower.

Zuo Zhen planned to prepare himself for the future.

In later generations, a top-notch masterpiece will often require the cooperation of thousands of people to make it. It is really impossible not to prepare some senior developers in advance.

On Sega's side, on Zuozhen's side, they both sped up during this time.

Sega simply removed all advertisements from many windows and promotional columns, and planned to arrange new advertisements after Zuo Zhen sent over the latest game content.

But this means something else in the eyes of NGS.

"See, Sega is obviously ready to admit defeat. It seems that they finally understand that fighting against our NGS will not end well."

At the weekly meeting, a board manager said proudly.

He has been paying attention to what's going on at Sega recently. After seeing Sega's sudden demise, he couldn't wait to share his news with President Yamauchi so that he could have a good impression in front of the president.

Recently, many people have reported that President Yamauchi is already a bit old and may abdicate in favor of someone else soon, and they, the board members, will be strong competitors in the future.

So they all scrambled to make their presence felt in front of Yamauchi.

Others also smiled after hearing this: "Isn't this natural? Sega used to be too arrogant, but now they finally understand the current situation, but it's too late!"

"That's right, it's late!"

A board member also showed a cruel expression at this time.

He is a new member of the board of directors responsible for the European market.

In the European market, relying on NGS's money-spending offensive, he has successfully gained some status in the European market.

And all these credits have been attributed to him.

As long as he continues to work hard and continue to dominate the European market, his future prospects are limitless.

"Yes, it's too late for Sega to realize its mistake now. I think we should pursue the victory, continue to devour the European market, and completely kick Sega out of the game."
