"That's why our collaboration makes sense. Mori Xia said solemnly, "Galgame is a one-time sales product, but the actual acceptance is not just a one-time one. ”

If Galgame is really only known to thousands or tens of thousands of people, then the animations of various Galgame changes will not be so popular. The sales of goods are disproportionate to the number of audiences, and in a large eastern country, this is due to piracy, and in Japan, it is because of second-hand.

Qianjia also understands this.

"Remember what we said about the online store?"

After Senxia said a word, Qianjia understood. It's not just Qianjia, but even the old void next to him suddenly realized.

"Mr. Xia Sen, what do you mean, we want to do the model of online sales?" asked Lao Xu.

"Yes, we can use cheap means to make a digital version of a game, the digital version itself has almost no cost compared to the game itself, we can contact other manufacturers to make a Galgame mall on the Internet together!" Sen Xia smiled.

"It seems to be very good...... Qianjia nodded, if those old games can be used, it is a very good thing, but if it is a new game, there is no way to do this, "but how to confirm the game? and negotiate with other manufacturers......"

Senxia's idea originated from GOG, a game platform in Europe and the United States. GOG is a gaming platform like Steam, but this game is an old gaming platform. Many old game fans know that some DOS or WIN9X games cannot run on WIN7 or WIN10 platforms, but the old games on this platform have been processed and can run on other platforms very smoothly, which is very well-known in Europe and the United States. Of course, in a certain eastern country. Fewer people know about this platform, because many places will put this platform off the wall and let us praise the great Great Wall......

"New games don't matter for the time being, but many of the old galgames now are from the PC-98 system or DOS system. Senxia explained, "DOS is fine, but if it is a PC-98 system, we can't run on the X86 platform." ”

Senxia is right, some old games can't support new platforms, which has always been a very unpleasant thing, and there will be emulators in the future. There are all sorts of remakes and remakes, but there's no such thing right now.

"The spread and development of gentleman culture is not a matter of one person, and we can't do so much as an Animic, but we can unite other people. Mori Xia said eloquently, "After the initial sale of Galgame, there is almost no benefit in subsequent sales, so there is no interest in it. ”

Second-hand genuine is also a headache for game manufacturers. Although it is "genuine", the game manufacturer itself does not get any benefits, and many times these benefits are obtained by other second-hand dealers.

It's like a lot of people playing PS4 in a big country in the East and then buying cheap physical games. The profits of these games are actually obtained by the merchants of a certain treasure, and the game manufacturers and Sony Dafa will not have any profits.

"But with digital authenticity, we can make it possible for everyone to play authentically. "Even if it's not a big profit at this time. But it's better than wasting it to someone else entirely. ”

When the Steam platform gradually became popular, all kinds of Galgames began to glow with a second spring, which shows the power of this online platform.

It's 1998. But Senxia thinks that they can still do this, the layout is early, and the results will be big in the future, and the Internet is a winner-takes-all.

"......" However, Qianjia groaned at this time, as if she was thinking about something, she thought for a long time, and suddenly turned her head to look at Sen Xia, "Na, Sen Xiajun, do you think we can find a way to cooperate with CM's official?

"Huh?"

What a great idea!

Senxia's eyes lit up.

Why is Dianniang's advantage not comparable to other novel websites? It's very simple, she has a large library and many readers!

CM is a gathering place for fans and game resources, and it seems good if you can get this market.

There are not many conclusions that can be referred to for this kind of thing, but this does not mean that Senxia and they should stand at the forefront of the times to promote and carry forward the gentleman's culture!

It is to dare to speak for the world!

"But with the digital version, the audience will be smaller. Isn't that a bit thankless?"

Lao Xuan made a point.

However, Mori Xia shook his head: "If it was 5 years ago, it would have been rare to see PC in Japan, but now our Galgame is basically preparing to develop games on the WIN platform, right, what about in another 5 years?"

In another 5 years, the Internet penetration rate in Japan will be very large.

But what Mori Xia doesn't understand is that the development of the Internet in Japan is strange, and although the penetration rate is high, the development rate is quite slow, and the content of the Internet is almost as stagnant as their social model, which is in stark contrast to South Korea next door to the strait.

It is precisely because of this that Japan, which has been in its old ways, is truly in decline in the 21st century.

But it doesn't matter, because now is the golden time for the development of gentleman's culture, and as long as you seize the opportunity to develop, this is the best.

"It's not just PCs, don't forget Sega's machines. We were even able to work with SEGA in this regard. ”

Sega DC is also a tens of millions of machines, if it weren't for the loss of money, as long as DC develops all the way, maybe it will change the history of home machines in the future.

But Senxia wasn't interested, he only knew that DC would help popularize gentleman's culture - unfortunately the current Sega is more strict with the management of the 18X than the previous generation of console SS.

"Looking at it this way, the question is whether those game manufacturers and CMs will accept our cooperation. Senxia held his chin and thought, although Senxia had been brewing for a lot of time, the specific points still needed to be organized.

"In terms of funding, we have no problem. "Although their income may not be enough to support the development of a large-scale triple-A game, it is very much more than enough for the current cooperation. Even Qianjia doesn't think it's a problem in this regard.

"I can reach out to some game manufacturers and maybe that helps. Lao Xuan also said.

"Well," Mori Xia nodded, "Let's go to the Moon side tomorrow, Takeuchi-san is also an insider, so he should have some connections." ”

"There is also a means of payment, Sen Xiajun, you said before that point card sales, and then buy, it seems to be a good plan. Chika thought of what Mori Xia had said earlier.

Sen Xia nodded: "Yes, second-hand stores are definitely resistant to this kind of sales model, but we can let them sell point cards, and the size of the Internet is very small now, so they won't have too much opposition to it." ”

A few people say a word to me.,A gentleman's version of Steam is gradually taking shape.,It looks like this model is pretty good.,At least Senxia himself thinks this scheme is very good.。

After the Internet is slowly popularized, things will be easier to do later, and this online sales model should be popular. It's a pity that Senxia doesn't have a mature online payment method now, otherwise this matter would be more convenient.

"The cost of our digital listings is extremely low, and we can set the price lower, but we can postpone the sale for three months to a year so that it doesn't affect the first launch. And since it's a digital version, there are definitely no physical bonuses and souvenirs, and our goal is to promote a work by cheap means. ”

If it is replaced by the 21st century, Senxia's summary can be very fashionable to be called "doing IP", these galgames are also "IP", and developing them is the easiest way.

However, unlike a website in a large eastern country that uses the method of conniving at piracy while exploiting the interests of authors while making IP, Senxia's approach is cheap and genuine and waste utilization, as long as it can maintain continuous attraction and popularity, this is enough.

"Yo Xi, in addition to the game manufacturer, other aspects also need to be sorted out, just leave these to me. Qianjia nodded, "In addition, we also have to write programs and make good software." ”

"That's right," Sen Xia nodded, "Wang Sang, after they finish helping us make the game, it seems that they still have their own plans, even if it is outsourced, we have to recruit people again." ”

Wang Qiwen They also have their own plans and ambitions, after "finishing this vote", they also want to do their own development, Senxia doesn't want to make it difficult for others, so they must have a new plan.

In other words, it's about hiring. Qianjia's eyes lit up, "It looks like we can finally renovate our office!"

Redecorate, and then keep hiring, that's what they're going to do afterward.

"That's right, once we've recruited new people, we'll be able to start a new project. Senxia smiled.

"Well, let's do it after that, let's move the work to Wang Sang's studio, and redecorate it here during this time. Qianjia looked at everyone with confidence, "Leave it to me here!"

"Phew, it looks like I haven't had anything going on lately. "Since it's going to be renovated, the RPG thing has nothing to do with me, Mori Xia found that he finally seemed to be able to rest for a while, and then Yukino and Miss Sakakino's finals and kendo tournaments, Mori Xia didn't plan to miss it.

Yo Xi, do what you love!

Mori Xia looked forward to it in his heart......
