Chapter 350: Cigarettes and Rice
"According to my observation, Age of Wonders now has the confidence to compete with Sega and Nintendo, SNK and Namco, just announced in a high-profile manner, have launched a comprehensive cooperation with Age of Wonders, that is, at least Age of Wonders has been supported by two third parties......"
"There are already two of ......them? I really have to admire them for having this courage......"
"Then can we also consider ...... with the Age of Miracles?"
"No, they're still too young, who knows if they'll survive in the future!"
"However, according to my observations, this time, it is really different, this time the game will rewrite the entire arcade market situation......"
"You don't have to worry about it, it's just a game. ”
"But it's not like a normal game......"
"How can it be different, surpassing Mario the plumber?"
"This ...... I think...... It's not like that......"
"Okay, let's see, we won't think about it for the time being. ”
"That ......"
Toot, toot, toot......
After hanging up the phone, a slightly tired man rubbed his temples with a bit of dissatisfaction.
Today's conference has exceeded his imagination.
"It's unbelievable that fighting games can be done to this extent on an arcade machine...... "The tired man looked at the game currency in his hand, lost in thought.
On this game coin, one side is the word KOF in the middle, and the other side is a lifelike spirit monkey.
Coins, flipped in the hand.
"Street Fighter's way out, where to ......"
A sigh, a helplessness.
The tired man is none other than Kitaka Funamizu.
After attending the Age of Wonders game launch, his mind is now full of images of the king of martial arts KOF.
Street Fighter is compared to the King of Fighters.
Wu Lun is a complete defeat in any aspect.
He couldn't find the slightest way out to fight the King of Fighters.
He even thought about working with the Age of Wonders and learning from their inspiration for making games.
At his level, technology is certainly a limitation on the one hand, but the real limitation is thinking!
And the most terrifying thing about King of Fighters is those unbelievable designs.
This is where he is really strong!
"Street Fighter ......"
"How can I surpass the KOF ......?"
Unprecedented confusion is plaguing this proud son of heaven.
Once upon a time, defining the standard of fighting games was an eternal rule in his heart.
Before today, he had never felt that there was anything wrong with such an idea.
However, at this moment, faith collapsed.
Even, the direction of Street Fighter's development can't be found!
Bewildered!
Is it a plot that is better than King of Fighters? Hard! It's too hard!
The plot of the fighting game is not so important, but the king of fighting has written the plot very logically.
If you want to make a difference, but also want to be brilliant, this is almost the whole Street Fighter overthrow!
How can it be that simple!
And to talk about style......
Just out of the pixel game, who can say the style?
In the era of eight-bit computers, there are only 8 colors in the color palette, and the pictures are all pixel-level, and it is actually difficult to talk about style in pixel games.
And sixteen have only been around for a long time.
The color swatches and color cards have not even been worked out yet.
How you put it together determines what style you have.
And that's what Street Fighter doesn't have!
In other words, if you want to compete with the king of martial arts, you must not only ensure the independence and completion of your things, but also have a mature color palette to create an overall style.
The King of Fighters is dark and has a texture with strong contrasting tones, and this style is not honestly mature.
So, how do you get past this style...... Again, this is almost another question that is difficult to find an answer to in a short period of time.
Other...... Action Settings......
It can only be through technical means to collect more action styles and make better and more fluid fighting effects.
But it also takes time to develop the relevant knowledge and skills.
Thinking about it, Funamizu Kitaka just couldn't find a breakthrough point......
Time passes by minute by minute.
When I was caught in thought, the passage of time was already imperceptible.
A cigarette, a little light, smoke swirling around the fingertips.
An hour, two hours passed......
It's getting dark.
Inside the room, the smell of smoke was so thick that it was choking.
Kitaka Funamizu snuffed out the cigarette butt that burned his hand, and his fingers went to the cigarette case again.
Only this time, but without another cigarette.
Shipwater Ji Xiao was stunned.
It turned out that he had unknowingly smoked a whole pack of cigarettes.
Looking up again, the whole room was pitch black, and the light in the gap in the room was still shining in from the outside light.
Night has been around for a long time.
Boat water Ji Xiao shook his head, took his wallet, tonight, maybe it was a sleepless night, there were no cigarettes, then this night, it would be lonely.
Cautiously opened the door and walked out to lock it.
"Funaisui-kun, I've been waiting for you for a long time......"
A voice, abruptly appeared.
"Who?" Kitaka Funamizu was startled!
"Hehe, don't you know me......?
A middle-aged man with a big back said with a gentle smile.
"It's you, President Kawasaki! Say hello to the president of the contemptible relocation!" Hideyoshi Kawasaki immediately bowed down.
After all, the person in front of him had a relationship with his president like a brother!
SNK, formerly known as New Japan Projects, Capcom, formerly known as .M., is a computer capsule.
What many people don't know is that these two third parties were in full swing when they started outsourced game projects.
The cooperation between the two companies is almost like that of brother companies.
Even in the early days, they announced within the company that if they met the president of another company, they would greet each other with a courtesy and treat each other's presidents as if they were their own presidents.
When I met this time, the lights were dim, and I didn't see it clearly for a while, and with the voice behind me, I subconsciously asked who it was.
This wait to see clearly, and the etiquette of the boat water Jixiao is also in place immediately.
This is a president-level figure, and he is also the president of the company's "closest" brother company, so he naturally needs to say hello.
"It's me......" Kawasaki Hideyoshi asked about the strong smell of cigarettes coming from the room, smiled and said, "Didn't you eat, why don't you have dinner together?"
"Didn't eat...... Ah, eat...... I won't bother you......" Funamizu Kitaka said a little embarrassed.
It's just that my stomach seemed to hear eating, and all of a sudden, the muffled sound of gurgling came out clearly in this quiet aisle.
"Gollum...... Grunt...... Goo~"
Funamizu Jixiao's face suddenly turned a little red.
It's so embarrassing!!
"Let's go, let's go eat ramen, there is a ramen restaurant in Huaxia, it tastes good, it seems to be called something to stop the ramen......" Kawasaki Hideyoshi smiled, not caring.
"This ...... Well......"
The cold hasn't healed yet, so I'm finally done writing, so I'm going to take a rest first......
