Chapter 239 Neutral Attitude Eighth Update
As soon as the trial version of Three Kingdoms Overlord was released, NGS immediately paid attention to it, especially Mr. Osaka, who changed careers halfway, and he also played the trial content of the Three Kingdoms Overlord game for the first time.
After he played, there were some changes in his mentality.
No, apart from him, the entire mentality of his team has also changed.
In their Warring States war strategy game, the added gameplay mainly revolves around the situation on the battlefield, as well as the impact of morale and the overall size of the city on the number of troops.
They themselves feel that the content is rich enough.
But what about the overlords of the Three Kingdoms?
It has dozens of different factions to choose from.
There are also several different story stages in the game.
In different story stages, you can also choose forces with different development directions.
Each camp has its own unique abilities, as well as its own advantages and disadvantages.
The content of the game is quite rich.
Their NGS game cartridges can only hold about 300KB of capacity.
The Sega MD starts at 500KB at the beginning, which can indeed allow the game to have more content.
But having content is not enough, you also need a mind that can come up with these ideas.
Just in terms of the richness of the content and the various random variables in the game, the demo version of Three Kingdoms Overlord has surpassed their Warring States war strategy game.
Osaka didn’t sleep well that night.
All I can think about is why this game can be so rich.
He was unknowingly involved in it when he was playing today.
He didn't feel this way about the games he made at home, but the games made by his competitors made him addicted. This was really outrageous.
Immediately afterwards, NGS president Yamauchi came to personally inquire about the status of game development and whether the trial version of the game launched by competitors was within control.
What else can Osaka say?
I can only bite the bullet and answer that everything is still under control.
If he said anything abnormal, he might immediately throw away everything in front of him.
But he soon relaxed.
Because his team analyzed the data content of the trial version of the Three Kingdoms Overlord game in a few days.
The capacity of the trial version alone is more than 500 KB.
What does this mean? This means that the finished game capacity may exceed 1MB.
Then the cost of the game cartridge plus the sales cost is likely to reach more than one hundred dollars.
After learning the news, Osaka became angry again, feeling that the real game was really playing with fire.
This kind of gameplay in real games will kill yourself.
His mood immediately improved again, and he dared to tell President Yamauchi the news he had received.
"You're saying that this game is indeed fun, but as you described before, the capacity will be very large, resulting in high production costs?"
"Yes, I can guarantee that with the current capacity of this game, the cost of this game will definitely not be low, unless they have to reduce the content of the game, but then they will not be competitive with us!"
Osaka vowed in front of Yamauchi.
After hearing this, Yamauchi called Nakamura Akira over to confirm again.
In the end, Akira Nakamura gave the same answer.
Akira Nakamura was also surprised why real games would do this.
Do they really intend to forcefully create such a large-capacity game, and end up with not many people willing to buy it?
In fact, in the early years, game manufacturers tried to improve the quality and cost of games, hoping to use large production and high costs to verify that the game would be more popular.
But as a result, when the game exceeded one hundred dollars, interested people immediately discounted it greatly. The sales volume was less than one-tenth of the previous work, which can be said to be cut in half, and the income was also lost.
"President, let me tell you that the boss of this real game is still a twenty-year-old young man after all. He obviously doesn't understand some of the pitfalls in video games, and this time, he will definitely suffer a major blow."
Osaka said with a grin.
Yamauchi seemed to finally feel relieved after hearing this.
He had actually been worried before.
But looking at the current situation, real games are actively taking themselves to the grave, which is really a great thing.
"President, Osaka, do you think that if this game really sells for a hundred dollars, many people will still buy it?"
"It's impossible. Director Nakamura, you obviously still don't understand the twists and turns of management."
Osaka said proudly.
In addition to studying game development recently, he also studied other departments of the company and learned about a series of things such as management and marketing.
Because he felt that he had a bright future and would need these things sooner or later, he had already begun to think about problems in the position of future president.
At this point, Akira Nakamura has nothing to say, because everything seems to be an unsolvable problem.
Forcibly increasing the cost of the game, players will not buy it.
In order to reduce costs, the content of the game and trial play is not right, which will also make players not buy it.
Is this real game really going to be a trap?
Nakamura Akira felt a little sorry for Zuozhen.
This is definitely a talent.
But maybe he is a bit young and a bit headstrong.
At this time, Osaka became humble again and said: "However, the boss of this real game is indeed very capable. He has conceived such a complex war strategy game. This actually gave me a lot of inspiration. I think I should We can rely on our team’s technical skills to add some details and gameplay to our games to make our games more competitive. As for the real games, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Yamauchi nodded slightly and said: "Okay, then you continue to be responsible for this project and suppress Sega's momentum. If you do well, your future will be unlimited."
"Okay president, I will definitely work harder!"
Osaka was in a great mood, and she really felt like she was the master.
After Osaka left, Yamauchi calmed Nakamura Akira's mind.
You are more important than Osaka. You are the real person in charge of the game development department. Only you can develop more creative games. As for Osaka, it is just a temporary means to deal with Sega.
However, this kind of comfort will not make Nakamura Akira react.
He really doesn't feel that his limelight has been robbed much, he is just more concerned about whether the real game has a premonition that he is about to enter the grave at this moment.
Akira Nakamura really didn't want such a talent to encounter such a setback.
But who makes him a competitor now? He can only stay as neutral as possible.
