Chapter 947: The Plan and the Name, The Birth of the Gal Machine
To be honest, if you can, Senxia actually wants to get a mobile phone or something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
And in fact, Senxia is not the only one who thinks this way.
In October 2003, Nokia, which I can smash walnuts, launched a mobile phone called "N-GAGE" - but it is more of a handheld with mobile phone functions than a mobile phone.
It's a pity that although this thing looks powerful, it is actually not very useful.
For mobile games to really develop, it will take until the era of smart phones, when mobile phones have almost become a rigid demand, but unfortunately, it is in the future.
As for now, mobile phones or something, it's not possible for the time being.
Although I thought about it before, to be honest, Mori Xia really didn't think about what to do with mobile phones. Although the phone looks beautiful, it is a bit too far from Senxia's gentlemanly strategy.
With Jobs' "crazy love" mobile phone, this is enough, and you can't do those useless things on your side.
Anyway, Senxia now feels that there is no need for this on his side, and even the reader in front of him is an unplanned product, but because of the overlap with Senxia's strategy in some places, Senxia doesn't mind continuing to do it now.
Faced with the nerve-wracking Wang Qiwen, Senxia proposed a concept of "external".
"For example, we can define the interface so that the machine can not only add a cassette, but even connect the machine to the TV through the slot, and even connect the handle to the ......"
Well, although it certainly doesn't have the same high performance as a home console like a PS, it's still possible to say that you want to crush the previous generation of SFC or something. After changing to 220V power supply and enhanced heat dissipation, even if the CPU is overclocked, there is no problem in theory.
"But if you do this, is there really no problem?" Wang Qiwen felt that although this idea was good, with his half-understood hardware knowledge, it seemed quite troublesome to do this?
Well, some of the boss's requirements are sometimes really able to make the designer come out with a kitchen knife and cut people......
However, Senxia's request is not particularly excessive, so theoretically speaking, it can still be achieved.
"And from the perspective of people in a large eastern country, I think this kind of demand also exists," Sen Xia chuckled, "Our product can be held in your hand, or even at home. We can even work with VCD vendors to provide a transcoding setup. β
Sen Xia and Wang Qiwen talked about their thoughts.
In this year, DVDs are becoming popular, but for a large eastern country, devices like VCDs will be popular for at least another five or six years.
The resolution of VCD is very low, and the display effect is not good, but I don't know how much cheaper than DVD, so it is very popular here.
Senxia's idea is to cooperate with these VCD manufacturers, and then provide a transcription function in the VCD, which can burn the content of the VCD into the cassette.
However, this burning is not such a convenient thing, because the burning is different from the USB flash memory, and there are no high-performance and cheap flash memory particles in the future, so the burning scheme still needs to be studied.
But this kind of thing is not a matter of Senxia, but of a designer.
Senxia has given the effect he needs, as long as he can achieve this effect, he doesn't even have to care about the CPU and memory or anything.
What does it matter if an engineer can do what 1MB of memory can do with 128KB of memory?
After taking a punch on the side of a certain eastern power, Senxia had already realized this.
The key is the effect, no matter if the yellow cat is white or white, if you catch the teacher, you are a good cat.
"Okay, so be it. Wang Qiwen actually still has a lot of ideas, but so far, his ideas are still very different from the national conditions of a large eastern country.
So at this time, Wang Qiwen can only sadly choose the part that he can achieve temporarily.
It's a sad story.
"By the way, I need to get a name. β
The name of the reader. This is needed.
"Ah, this, the leadership has decided, although it has not been officially announced, but it will probably be handed over to 'Yuewen'. β
"Reading Reader?"
Your name is so bullish, do you know it?
Sen Xia Chao wanted to complain about the name.
"Sure?" said Senxia.
Wang Qiwen shook his head: "I'm not sure, because there are several leaders who have different opinions, so let's see the situation in the end." β
"Well, okay. β
Senxia nodded, but her expression was subtle.
What do you want me to say at this time?
Reading Reader?
This name is super painful!
"But Sen Xia," after Wang Qiwen finished talking about this question, he pulled the topic to the other side, "On our side, I think we need to get an overseas version." β
Wang Qiwen winked his eyebrows at Sen Xia.
"You still want to engage in overseas!"
What I said before about feelings is in vain?
That's all a well-founded analysis!You still want to around!?
"Ahem, I think it's not bad to keep an international version or something......"
Wang Qiwen is still embarrassed.
"Hmm...... Think about it. Sen Xia muttered, "If such a product is also sold overseas, it is also a very good way to improve its popularity." Well, you can get one, but you can only have a lite version, and you don't need to use the full keyboard. β
The lite version is inexpensive, and it's just right for advertising, so even if no one buys one, it's not a problem.
But if it's an all-round effort and production, that's another story.
"What are you going to do with the overseas version?" Wang Qiwen asked Senxia's opinion.
Although I have been threading needles and threads in it for a long time, it is actually Senxia himself who gave birth to the reader.
As for Wang Qiwen's words, in fact, it is just threading the needle.
"I'm going to focus on the Galgame game. "I'll advertise on the Mithril platform, but I'm not going to invest heavily elsewhere. β
If the "reader" function is carried forward in games, what will it look like?
Senxia's answer is a game in the text adventure category. Perhaps a textual online game like "Brave New World" can also be used, but unfortunately, this kind of online game needs a network, and adding a network function to this machine means a huge spike in costs, which is unacceptable for Senxia.
Based on these points, Senxia is now very sure that the game he can do now is a text stand-alone, and among them, Galgame is the big one.
So at this time, Senxia has already decided that the overseas version will focus on Galgame.
"Not bad, either. β
Wang Qiwen nodded.
He also thought about it for a while, and in the end, Wang Qiwen also found that there was really no problem with Senxia's thoughts.
"But Galgame itself is a niche, so let's do this, is there really no problem?" Wang Qiwen felt that it was really better to make an all-round game console than to do so.
"Come on, if we have enough third parties, that's pretty much the same, but do the math, we can get together 300 of our current games?"
There are quite a few games on the Mithril platform, but there are only a few hundred games - and many of them are sketch games - which is a joke in the eyes of manufacturers such as Sony and Ren Hell .
But Senxia is not without advantages.
Wang Qiwen also knew why Senxia said that.
If compared with other manufacturers, the machine on Senxia's side is really a product of nonsense, but only in one place, Senxia has an advantage.
That's Galgame.
Galgame is mostly adult-oriented, so companies like Sega, Sony, and Ren Hell aren't very interested in them.
And at this time, the Galgame industry is also going downhill.
At this time, the Mithril platform was born, and in terms of networking, it can be regarded as a combination of these game manufacturers. After everyone found out that they could make money and make a lot of money, Senxia's influence was even greater.
It can even be said that as long as Senxia wants to, more than ninety percent of Galgame on the market can launch a handheld version at Senxia's request.
After all, when it comes to the gentleman's realm, Animic is the boss.
Not to mention, thinking about it like this, Wang Qiwen became more and more confident.
Yes, if this machine can be launched, wouldn't this fill the gap in the market?
As long as the performance of the machine is sufficient, such a machine can do a lot of things!
It doesn't matter whether the performance of the machine is sufficient or not, the key is in the field of Galgame, there are really not many such things!
"Well, if you look at it that way, maybe it can work a little bit as well. β
Senxia's eyes also flickered at this time.
Although at the beginning, Senxia thought that this product did not have much effect, but after thinking about it carefully, Senxia came up with the same concept as Wang Qiwen: that is, this thing seems to be really funny!
Not to mention filling the gap in the market, Nintendo and Sony will not set foot in this field - at least not in the next few years - which means that Senxia will not face too much resistance in this field.
And compared with PC, if you have your own platform, the profit of the platform provider is much higher than that on PC!
"It's just a niche product anyway, so there's not a lot to consider. Senxia pondered, "But we can put out some character customizations and the like, which should be okay." β
Senxia muttered here.
Think about it, should you buy five customized versions of the machine?
One to play games, one to spare, one to preach, one to appreciate, one to collect, and one to lick.
What? You say it's six?
There are five of the Four Heavenly Kings, and there are six of them when you buy five machines, what's the problem?!
Come to think of it, there will be EVA Hatsunoi version, Asuka version, and Kinomoto Sakura version......
Uh-huh, anyway, how can you make trouble, there is a version!
Hey, do you want a ship girl version or something?
Speaking of which, this machine is used to play browser games like Ship Niang, and the performance is also enough, right?
However, this idea, Sen Xia only thought about it for a while, and chose to give up.
Although a game like Ship Niang is very good, but if Ship Niang wants to develop, a suitable Internet environment, that is a must, and the Internet environment that can achieve Senxia's conditions, it will take at least five years to arrive.
As for now, this kind of thing is just a pipe dream.
But no matter what, Wang Qiwen and Sen Xia have basically reached an agreement on the reader.
"Let's do it first. Senxia thought for a while and continued, "If we can sell 10,000 units, we are worthy of it, and if we can sell 100,000 units, it will be a big profit." β
Senxia's expectations are not high, and 100,000 units is already his exaggerated calculation.
If you count the sales volume of a large eastern country, the best idea in Senxia's heart is to be able to sell two or three hundred thousand units, and if the character explodes, there are four or five hundred thousand units, it is already the best state.
"Well, that's fine. Wang Qiwen also nodded, after being hit by Sen Xia, his psychological expectations gradually decreased a lot.
"Oh, yes, one more thing. What about the name? In the international version, there should be a more stylish name, right? A suitable English name is also a good thing for publicity!" Wang Qiwen thought of another point.
βGalgame-Playerγ Abbreviated as GGP. Well, that's fine. β
Mori Xia didn't plan to use a name that was too weird.
"Okay, that's it. β
Wang Qiwen also nodded.
At this time, the two didn't know that the name "Galgame-Player" was used more by users in a large eastern country, and later, people called it "Galgame machine", and later, in order to facilitate the name, they reduced the name to "Gal machine".
But I don't know if it's a pronunciation problem or what's the reason, after the abbreviation came out, the name gradually became crooked, and after 20 years, when people talked about this machine, they used another popular and familiar pronunciation.
This pronunciation is pronounced "Gay", or "Calcium......
Well, even though it's a machine that specializes in playing beautiful girl games, I don't know why, at the end, the atmosphere of GayGay came out......
β¦β¦
Guess what the calcium machine will develop into in the future2333
You can also take a brain hole and see what games and peripherals you can do, maybe the brain hole will be very interesting~
The eyes are still a little blurry, still two in one, meow meow meow~
