Chapter 224: Conquering City and Territory (Third Update)

It is a new type, war strategy simulation.

Naturally, everyone present was a little clueless.

At this time, Han Hongkun was constantly thinking about what Zuo Zhen's so-called war strategy simulation game was like.

When he played Fire Emblem before, he felt that the game was quite playable, and he was very addicted as long as he calmed down.

But that's not really a war simulation, it's more like a squad strategy simulation game where you command a squad to fight.

What would this war simulation... be like?

Zuo Zhen quickly gave everyone the answer.

"Actually, someone has already launched a Three Kingdoms strategy game before us, namely the Three Kingdoms released by Japan."

"What? Small Japan has launched games from our country? Why do they do it?"

Someone said unhappily.

"Yes, why does Japan want to play the Three Kingdoms game?"

"Haha, don't they have nothing to tell about their own country's stories? Telling them about their past heavenly kingdom will make me happy."

"well said!"

Several people immediately clapped their hands and applauded, feeling that what this person said was very relieving.

Zuo Zhen also nodded at this time and said: "It's more or less the same. After all, even if there is a war in Japan, a small country, it will not be much better than fighting in our villages."

"Boss, your description is perfect! Now you can say it even better!"

Everyone immediately applauded again.

"Okay, okay, stop flattering me. Even if you flatter me, you won't let me give you a salary increase."

"This is not flattering, this is what you said, boss!"

"Okay, let's talk about games, don't talk nonsense here."

To say that the most famous Three Kingdoms strategy game of this era is definitely Three Kingdoms.

There is nothing special about the early Three Kingdoms, but the later Three Kingdoms are even more outstanding.

If we were still in the era of eight-bit computers, Zuo Zhen estimated that he could only produce more limited content than the early Three Kingdoms.

But in the 16-bit game console era, this situation has changed greatly. Now it is no problem for Zuo Zhen to directly make a game similar to Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4.

And this is basically like a dimensionality reduction strike for war strategy games of this era.

The first part of the Three Kingdoms was an attempt by the original company in this field, and the second part that was released later began to make great progress.

Later, this type of game has always had a very stable player base.

And this is also Zuo Zhen’s own test. If the test is good, he can make more works about Chinese culture in the future.

"The overall structure of the game is based on the city as the development map. At the beginning, people can freely choose different leaders, and each leader has a different birth point."

"Different leaders will lead generals with different abilities and strengths, and different events will occur in different areas. Some places will have peasant uprisings, some places will have elite soldiers and generals, and some places will have unique resources. Location advantage.”

Zuo Zhen wrote down several relevant details that he still retained in his memory on the blackboard one by one.

"This will be a job where you work slowly and carefully. By the way, Pajitnov, how are you doing with your Chinese studies recently?"

"Ah, it's... not bad."

Pajitnov stumbled on the side and responded.

He was actually taking notes very carefully.

Recently, what he has been doing besides working is learning Chinese.

After all, this is where he will work for a long time, so it is natural to learn the language here.

Fortunately, he can be regarded as a top student in this era, and his learning ability is not to mention. Now he has learned Chinese to a minimum, and he has no problem communicating with others.

But when it came to game development, Zuo Zhen specially prepared an English version of the game development plan for him.

"Very good, what I need you to do next is to design the numerical values ​​of the generals in the game. I will set up a team to work with you. Numerical design is the core of this game, so I leave it to you."

Zuo Zhen's words gave Pajitnov an immediate sense of mission, and the pressure came immediately.

But he is not afraid of this. As long as he is developing games, he is happy.

In fact, he has already roughly understood the content of the game through the game development plan Zuo Zhen gave him, and he has already fallen in love with the details of the game.

War Strategy, this is more of a board game than Fire Emblem.

Just like chess, Go and other games, it also pays more attention to strategy.

Pajitnov's strongest point is his sensitivity to numbers.

"Mengchen, you also have a more important task next, which is to conceive the image of the characters of the Three Kingdoms according to your own imagination. Can you do it?"

"Can."

Even if it is not possible, it must be possible.

Yu Mengchen would never refuse any request from Zuo Zhen.

"The other two scene artists and prop artists will also cooperate with your work. In short, you must cooperate well."

Then Zuo Zhen looked at Xie Qin and arranged sound effects production work for him.

He has frequently developed music and sound effects for six consecutive Sega MD games, and has extensive experience in using new audio programs to develop sound effects.

But all the previous sound effects were actually more Western.

This time, Zuo Zhen hopes that Xie Qin will use music that is more in line with the music style of China.

Of course, it doesn’t matter what kind of instrument is used in the end, Zuo Zhen only cares about the result.

Zuo Zhen then arranged for a team of twenty people to be responsible for the main gameplay and framework of the game, and the game development cycle was three months.

Now that there is a stable game platform, Zuo Zhen no longer needs to pay attention to those random things outside of games, and can concentrate on developing games.

The Overlord of the Three Kingdoms is his first step.

But before that, there is one relatively important thing.

That is to find a spokesperson.

He is the spokesperson for game promotion.

This time, Zuo Zhen not only wants to make this game popular overseas, this time Zuo Zhen also wants this game to have a certain reputation in China.

Although playing video games is still a bit of a luxury in this era, there are already signs in the soil.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zuo Zhen had already found out that there were already factories in the southern provinces that specialized in manufacturing game consoles.

It's just a factory that makes pirated copycat game consoles.

Zuo Zhen wanted to go and investigate on the spot.

And that's how the development of the game began.

Zuo Zhen called Gao Cunxiong that day to inform him of the game he was planning to produce.

After hearing this, Komura Yu was quite interested. At the same time, he felt that Zuo Zhen was indeed worthy of being a wizard in the game industry. It was only now that he began to want to develop new game types and never gave himself any limitations.

At the same time, Komura Yu also told Zuozhen good news, that is, Square's recent economic situation is not very good. If Zuozhen is interested in acquiring, Sega may be able to help lobby.

Zuo Zhen answered simply.

receive!

No matter how much money is charged.

It’s definitely a no-brainer to get your hands on this Final Fantasy series.

But is this series such a failure? It's a bit fast.
