Chapter 223 Three Kingdoms (Second Update)
Through arcade machines, Sega MD began to gradually capture the attention of some players in the United States. The first large department store began to sell Sega MD despite the obstruction of NGS, followed by the second, and the third...
But this has little to do with Zuo Zhen, because during this process Zuo Zhen began to prepare to develop the next game.
Now that sixteen-bit game consoles have appeared, we can consider adding more content to the game in the future.
For example, the video of the game.
In the era of eight-bit computers, every bit of game console storage was precious. At this time, game developers simply did not dare to add game plots to their games.
In later games, there have been game cutscenes that are almost like movies, but at this time, it is a luxury.
In fact, even on a 16-bit game console, it is still difficult to leave room for game videos, but it is still much better than an 8-bit console.
"Eat me with a kick!"
"Damn it! Didn't we agree not to use ultimate moves? Why did you go back on your word?"
"Who said that? I didn't hear it."
"Okay, okay, that's how you play, right? Then don't blame me for being rude!"
In the company, several people are getting together to play King of Fighters.
Among them are people who came to work just after the Chinese New Year because they felt that instead of having nothing to do at home every day, it would be better to come to the company to play games for pay.
Of course, they themselves also want to continue developing games, and now they increasingly regard game development as their lifelong work.
But some of these people are not employees of the actual game.
One of them is Han Hongkun.
He is also playing the latest MD game with several other people at the moment.
Sonic the Hedgehog has become his favorite game.
He has played Super Mario before, but the speed of Sonic the Hedgehog is simply the most tempting food. Once you eat (play) it, you will never forget this game.
After returning home, all he could think about was how to pass the level faster.
He will feel a strong sense of satisfaction every time he can clear a level faster.
At the same time, he prefers to show off his gaming skills in front of others.
Real games are the best place to show off.
"See, this is my latest record. The first level is one minute and twenty seconds. Which of you can do it?"
Han Hongkun showed off proudly.
"I'll come, I'll come!"
Several people rushed to try it.
However, at this moment, Zuo Zhen entered the company with slow steps.
Zuo Zhen didn't even need to enter the company's building. Just outside the building, he could vaguely hear the sounds of the noisy games inside.
It seems that turning the sound of the game to the maximum volume is also something they like to do.
"Good guy, I'm treating this place as a game arcade."
"The boss is here!"
One of the people suddenly shouted. After hearing the news, the others quickly pretended to lower the game volume, and then hurried to their respective work stations to pretend to be busy.
Zuo Zhen sneered twice: "Okay, stop pretending, I heard you guys playing games outside."
"Hey, boss, happy New Year! Oh, and sister-in-law, happy New Year to you too!"
"I'm not!"
Yu Mengchen also appeared behind Zuo Zhen at this time, and he couldn't hold back after hearing everyone's names.
Yu Mengchen is still a quite conservative girl, and she is very concerned about this aspect. If she has not confirmed the relationship, she does not want to be gossiped about in this aspect.
Zuo Zhen is relatively calm. After all, he has traveled from the next generation, and being shameless has long been the norm.
He said to everyone: "Okay, don't get close here. Yu Mengchen can't save you. Since most of you are back, let's start the New Year's work and don't waste time."
"Ah, boss, it's only the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
Zuo Zhen said: "When do you want to open? It's late enough now."
"Well, but we are still students." They said pitifully.
"Do you still need your salary? Forget it if you don't want it. By the way, this month's sales bonus also needs to be forgotten."
"I want it!"
After everyone was noisy for a while, they began to get into work mode.
However, Han Hongkun was a little embarrassed by himself. Everyone else had gone to work, but he was the only one who seemed to be fine.
"Um, can I listen?"
Han Hongkun asked tentatively.
"Huh? But you are not our employee." Zuo Zhen said.
"Hehe, I have nothing to do. In fact, I am also quite interested in game production, and I also want to see how the game you make is like."
"What? Are you also interested in developing games?"
Han Hongkun waved his hand: "I don't have that ability. I just listen casually."
"Developing games is somewhat of a secret, but if you are interested in joining my company, you can naturally listen to my game development plan."
"Ah? Can I also become a member of your company? But I don't know anything."
"I really have a job that is more suitable for you."
"What?"
"Game test specialist, of course, this may not pay much, but the advantage is that you can experience many games in advance and then give game evaluations."
"I'll do it, I'll do it! I'm so willing to do it! You don't have to pay me."
Han Hongkun was so happy when he heard that he could experience the game in advance.
This is a rare opportunity.
"Okay, come on then."
Zuo Zhen waved, and Han Hongkun immediately ran to the conference room happily.
If Han Hongkun's father saw that he was so happy just to be a game tester, and he didn't get much salary, it would be like being used for nothing, and he didn't know if he would be angry.
Several employees also entered the conference room one after another. After everyone came in, Zuo Zhen officially started the meeting process.
"Okay, next I want to talk about the development content of our next game. This game has been conceived by me for a long time, and this game should be the first step to open up the country and let people around the world know us."
"The first step to let people around the world know us?"
Everyone looked at each other, a little curious about this description.
"I won't give in. You should all be familiar with the game I want to make. This game is a Three Kingdoms strategy game."
The Three Kingdoms, this is a famous book that is well-known in the land of China.
However, the Three Kingdoms TV series had not yet been released at that time. The most popular one now should be Journey to the West, which is the 1986 version of Journey to the West.
But the Three Kingdoms is also a cultural content engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.
"Three Kingdoms Strategy? Is the boss a strategy like Fire Emblem?"
"No, this time is different. The previous Fire Emblem game type was called SRPG, which is a strategy role-playing game. The Three Kingdoms type game I want to make this time should be called SLG, called War Strategy Simulation."
