Chapter 758: The Repercussions of the Mithril Platform
When it comes to buying games with electronic money, people tend to feel very unrealistic. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At such times, once you come across a game you like, everyone will be unable to control it.
On Senxia's Mithril platform, most of the games are actually old games, but the picture enhanced version of the old game is enough for many old players.
Although many of the old games on the Mithril platform are products of the pre-win era, after the reproduction and transformation into true color, there is also an increase in resolution, which is very important.
After reading the post posted on the Internet by this benevolent brother who "ruined my money", Senxia wiped the sweat from his head.
"Well...... This also shows from the side that the popularity of our game platform ......" Sen Xia muttered.
Because it is the New Year, some sales data are not easy to count, but it can be seen that the start of the game platform is still okay, at least from the perspective of the current registered users, it has exceeded 10,000 - this data is definitely not small at the moment.
Although many of these people are actually here for "free games......
In addition to games, the Mithril platform actually offers some interesting gameplay and interactive modes in other ways.
For example, the Cthulhu Run tool, which is currently in beta testing, is one of them.
It's just that the people who run the group are very few now, so this software represents more of an attitude and feelings, rather than making money.
If you really want everyone to be interested in running groups, you probably need to wait until the live broadcast and video playback system appears.
But with this software, it also represents an attitude, which is indispensable.
After reading the complaint post on 2ch, Mori Xia came to the animic forum on a whim, and then entered the version of the Mithril platform.
In the future, this section will be separated, and the Mithril platform will have a separate forum address, which can be accessed through the forum and the client on PC.
"What are you looking at?"
At this time, Qianjia had already walked in, and she was still holding a plate of dumplings in her hand.
After walking to Mori Xia's side, Chika put the dumplings on the table, and then came to the computer.
The indecent posture makes Qianjia's shoulders all exposed, and the delicate skin tone and delicate collarbone are very eye-catching.
Although it was the time of winter, in the manor where there was no chill at all, Qianjia did not feel inappropriate because of her outfit.
She leaned over to take a look at the picture.
"Ah, it's a forum, are you reading the comments on the game platform?"
Because of the recent appearance of a "Tsukihime" relationship, the number of people on the forum has increased dramatically.
On the forum, there are even people who can't buy the physical version, in order to play this game, resolutely open the Internet, and then download the electronic version.
"Well, almost, everyone's enthusiasm is really amazing. Senxia sighed, "But I really didn't expect that the demand for these old games would be so high." ”
Yes, these old games are selling well.
Another rule in Japan is that within a month of galgame's launch, its sales have basically been decided.
It was meant to be like this.
So, those game manufacturers also have a dispensable mentality, and then bring the game down the Mithril platform - anyway, someone helps to reproduce and transplant, and it's just a waste use, and it can be sold to others, isn't it great?
It's just that the situation is a little unexpected.
The pricing of these old games is about half to 80% of the original price, which can be said to be much cheaper than the original price.
Although it is cheap, this is a channel close to direct sales, so the profit from the game manufacturer's share is actually about the same as the physical version, and sometimes it is slightly higher than the physical version. In addition, these are old games and have no cost burden, so these profits are actually higher than the previous physical version.
"It's amazing that a student of the same level can sell 1,000 copies. I used to think that it would be great if this old game could sell more than 100 copies. Qianjia is also sighing.
These old games are not available at the same time, and after they have been remastered, these games also need to be bug checked and then set up with an "achievement" system before they can be put on the platform.
This game for students of the same level,Don't look at it, it sold 1000 copies.,This game was only on the shelves on the New Year.,It's not been a few days yet.。
And more importantly, it's an old game.
"Well, the best sales right now are the game "Tsukihime" in the fandom area," Mori Xia had already learned about the situation before, "If you're lucky, the sales of the electronic version of the game "Tsukihime" are expected to exceed 10,000 copies. ”
Ten thousand copies is already the limit.
It's not that I don't like the game, it's mainly that the number of internet users is limited these days. If it is offline, Mori Xia guesses that the sales should be higher.
"The achievement system is interesting, but why is it that only the Mithril version of Tsukihime has an achievement system, but the physical version doesn't?"
Senxia clicked on a post casually, and then prepared to answer the other party.
"Landlord, you can directly connect the physical version to the Mithril platform, and then open the achievement system. The achievement system of the game "Tsukihime" is universal. ”
At the bottom of the post, someone has already answered Senxia's questions, so Senxia doesn't have to answer the other party's questions at this time.
Senxia's policy is that the game's achievement system is only valid for the games it has purchased, but the game "Tsukihime" is also covered by Senxia's side, and for these own games, Animic's strategy is that the physical version can be connected to its own platform, and then the achievement system is turned on - but the physical version needs a disc to play the game, even if it is connected to the achievement system.
"Having said that, Nasu-san and Takeuchi-san seem to want "Tsukihime" to enter the DC platform as well. Qianjia suddenly thought of what they had said when she met these two people before.
"It's okay - well, as long as they don't procrastinate and keep the story off. ”
Nasu mushroom belongs to the kind of more enlightened author.,Many other authors.,When someone is pointing fingers at their own stories and settings.,I'm afraid many people will be angry.。
And if Nasu Mushroom sees other people's stories, even if it is contrary to his own settings, as long as the story is interesting, Nasu will even be willing to modify his own settings.
In these years, it is really a lot to be able to meet such a good author.
It's just that Mori Xia has a strong suspicion, and Nasu probably thinks that this kind of borrowing other people's hands to expand the worldview and story on his own side can make him lazy......
Well, the more I think about it, the more likely it is......
"Tsukihime, all achievements have been achieved!"
After seeing the title of this post, Sen Xia was shocked: "It's all done now?"
Tsukihime's full achievement requires collecting all the routes, including the five routes of Senpai Cher, True Ancestor Elquite, Sister Akiba Tono, and Maid Sister Amber Jade.
In addition, to achieve the game's achievements, it is necessary to complete all the bad_end in the game, that is, to let the protagonist Tono Shiki experience all the ways to die on one side.
And the most frustrating thing is that after all of this, the game also offers a "Talent Challenge".
This "Talent Challenge" requires players to answer detailed questions in the game, such as simple questions such as "Why did Elquit come to Japan?", and there are also questions such as "Why was Shiki Tono adopted?", which requires careful reading to know, and after answering all these questions, the game will unlock the platinum trophy.
In addition, each challenge cannot be done all at once, and the "Talent Challenge" can only be played three times a week, so if you don't know the script, you can't complete it at all. What's more, at this time, the game has just appeared for a long time, and it is almost impossible to find the right answer at this time, and it is absolutely impossible to skip the plot without a brain, and then find the right answer to take platinum.
But the brother in front of him is really all platinum, which is really not to be looked at directly - if it is platinum, it is displayed in platinum on the game account, which is impossible to fake.
"It seems that there is a lot of enthusiasm for new games. Qianjia pondered, "Our next step, should we also bring all the gentleman's games to life?"
The story has a gentleman's game, but it is all a "harmony" version, Qianjia thinks that it is better to find a way to get a real gentleman's version.
"If there will be opportunities in the future, I sometimes wonder if the platform for all ages should be distinguished from the platform for gentlemen, and then a high-end and high-grade life experience platform for adults should be specially created......"
Senxia was wondering if it would be better for him to have a platform like this, which must be very interesting.
After all, it's just "harmony", which is really a bit unpleasant.
This sensation is like scratching the itch through the boot, and instead of relieving the itching, it will exacerbate the itching sensation.
"Well, let's think about it later. "Now that my own platform has not been built, I will consider splitting up the two platforms at this time, which is completely dead, and Qianjia also knows this.
At least until the Mithril platform is stable, this kind of thing can't be done.
"Count the games that have changed a lot on the Mithril platform. ”
And at this time, Senxia also noticed that at this time, someone was actually taking stock of the difference between the replica and the original.
The landlord seems to be a long-time game enthusiast, and he compares nearly a dozen games in his post.
Then he found that these games are very different from the original in terms of graphics and smoothness, although some games are not much different, but in terms of resolution, these games are generally from the original 320x240 resolution, or 640x480 resolution suddenly increased to 800x600 and 1024x768 resolution.
That's what catches the eye.
And among them, these people took stock of the game that has changed the most - "Age of Exploration 2".
Yes, it's Age of Discovery 2, which players call "Shame" for Glorious Corporation.
This is a remastered version of the game, which can be regarded as the most "evolutionary" game.
"Hey, Senxia, you are here to intervene in the reproduction of the Age of Exploration 2, and sure enough, everyone has noticed it!" Qianjia looked at Senxia after seeing this post.
"Yes, there are so many old games, but sure enough, the most interesting is Age of Discovery 2. ”
After reading these posts, Senxia muttered here.
- Yes, Age of Discovery 2 on the Mithril platform is not just a DOS version of Age of Exploration 2.
The earliest version of the Age of Discovery 2 should be the PC98 version.
At the beginning, DOS was not able to display Japanese at that time, and the games on PC98 were all kinds of classics - by the way, at the beginning of Japan, there was only a PC98 version of the Age of Exploration 2, and DOS was not released for Japan at the beginning.
However, despite this, the PC98 version of the Age of Discovery 2 is still imperfect, and it was not until the DOS version that many systems were improved.
In this year, the mainstream is home consoles, although PCs can also play games, but they are more like experimental grounds, and some games that respond well will be ported to home consoles, and some improvements will be made.
- But "Age of Exploration 2" is an exception, maybe the Age of Exploration 2 on SFC, PS and SS is very good, but in terms of the freedom and controllability of the game, the DOS version of the Age of Discovery, directly dumping other versions several streets.
The DOS version of the Age of Discovery 2, with high resolution, directly suppresses the home machine version, but due to hardware limitations, the picture is only 16 colors, and the graininess is relatively heavy.
Although there are only 16 colors, under the hands of god-like Japanese artists, the DOS version of the title is still very outstanding, but unfortunately the music is only a MIDI version, so there are some fly in the ointment.
Since then, the game has appeared on SFC, MD, SS, and PS, from Nintendo to Sega to Sony, and the glorious festival can be seen.
However, although the graphics and gameplay of the later versions have improved, there are still some gaps.
And what Senxia did was to find the glory directly, and then use the DOS version of the gameplay with the art of PS and SS to make a combined replica version.
This version takes more man-hours to produce than other games, and it also costs a lot.
But Senxia is so willful, he likes this game very much, in his opinion, this work is more interesting than the 4th generation, a little willful, it's not a problem, so, there is this version of the game.
It's feelings, you know......

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone~ (To be continued.) )
