Although the boss just complained casually, the people below didn't dare to slack off. +∧ Eight + ∧ Eight + ∧ Reading + ∧ Books, .※.→o

Schulhoff was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly pretended to attach great importance to it, and asked the secretary to write it down in person: "Don't write it down yet, go back to the meeting to discuss the introduction of other adaptations that are more popular than "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", including this "Transformers"!"

Gu Biao hurriedly dissuaded: "Eh, don't be impulsive, I just said casually, have you forgotten how Atari ended up back then? I bought iP with my heart, made games with my feet, and spent $25 million to buy Spielberg's et alien adaptation rights, and what happened?"

We still have to take quality as the first thing, as for the popularity of iP or something, it doesn't matter. I don't agree to spend too much money on licensing, and if you have to make a robot game, I have two demands: first, if the asking price of Transformers iP holders is higher than 1 million...... Uh, up to $3 million, let him go!

Secondly, if we can't buy a good iP, as long as we do a good job of gameplay, how many robot animations in this world are not enough? We don't need to spend money, or just spend a few changes, and rely on quality to solve the problem. If this kind can be fired, it is not too late to introduce iP. ”

"Mr. Gu is really a far-sighted person who is always vigilant and consumer-centric. All the project executives present, including those who were pure technical nerds, couldn't help but praise Gu Biao's humility.

This shows that Gu Biao's personality charm really impressed everyone, not one or two business executives. After all, most of the technical executives who make games also have dreams, and they love games themselves, and only when the boss's love resonates with them can they truly feel related.

"Then let's make a detailed argument and discuss the response plan according to the possible different asking prices and grades of the iP transferor. Shulhoff also quickly adjusted the caliber.

The two sides chatted for a while under this tone, and basically inspected the new generation of action game riot products.

After all, the biggest problem with the games that can be obtained from the source of arcade porting is that they are short, flat and fast, so more than 90% of them are still monotonous side-scrolling customs clearance.

If you can't finish a plate in the arcade in half an hour, the arcade hall boss will stop doing it first. Nowadays, there are generally no game halls in Europe, the United States and the local market, and there is still a game hall with an hourly fee system, and they are still a plate of coins.

Therefore, the source of arcade can only highlight the advantages of the new 16-bit machine such as good graphics, good sound effects, and violent aesthetics, but it is not enough to support the categories of strategy games and RPg games, nor can it highlight the technical advantages of the Tiankun home machine that can be archived. [≤ eight [≤ eight [≤ read [≤ book, .▽.o√

When the learning machine was launched last year, the strategy game fist products that Tiankun came up with were mainly the first-party "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the third-party "Fire Emblem" and other war chess strategies. Subsequently, several products with similar performance standards have been added.

These old works are similar to the level of strategy games in the late Nintendo Fc period in history, and the graphics are completely sorry for the performance of the new 16-bit machines, so it is natural to upgrade a bunch of new masterpieces in a comprehensive manner.

Gu Biao remembered the "Transformers" he had just mentioned to Schulhoff, so he discussed with other R&D executives in a discussion tone:

"Even if I have a whim today, I think that the robot theme just mentioned can be made into a pass-through strategy war chess game, and it can be made into a series in the future, if any film and television comic copyright provider gives us a low price, we will take their characters into it, and even make up a level plot.

In this way, whether the game itself makes a lot of money is still second, the key is that we can use a relatively strong posture and low price to pinch the iP adaptation rights of these robot themes in our hands - we first use a relatively small number of popular iP, plus our own original main, to make the first generation popular.

Let all the animation film and television studios see that 'move their characters to our popular game', and by the way, their animation and even the surrounding area will also become popular, then, it is not that we are begging them to sell, but they are begging us to sell.

In the same way, we can also do some other roaming RPg games with a large top-down view, collect some cute things for girls, and make a series of games for pet development battles. Or the video pet games we made in the early years are also mixed in. The previous robot theme is aimed at the male market, and this cute theme is aimed at the female market. As long as we become popular, it will be the turn of those comic merchants to take the initiative to sell half at a low price and give half away, begging us to promote. ”

"Construct a robot universe or a cute world by yourself, extract other people's iP characters at a low price, and put them in this hodgepodge? Let the party who sells the adaptation rights to reduce the price of their own dog-eat-dog?" Schulhoff's eyes lit up, and he felt that the boss was really a genius in reducing prices.

It's just that this is a pain for the designers.

The 87-year-old game development team is still relatively small, and generally the software development link of a game is a script and planning, and then one or two coders, a few artists or something. People have never had that kind of concept of a new category, so it's naturally hard to understand.

However, as long as someone pierces this layer of window paper, it is technically easy to achieve, and the key is creativity.

Gu Biao thought about it for a while, and roughly described the design concepts of "Super Robot Wars" and "Pokemon" (now translated as "Pokemon") in his previous life, and used a more exploratory tone, only saying "This is an immature and just blind idea."

In good conscience, in terms of the aesthetics of game designers and programmers at the end of 87, if Gu Biao said these ideas in a different scene, he would definitely not be able to control the effect of "a shock to the tiger's body" and convincing people.

The other party will only think that he is blindly commanding.

The advanced aesthetic is also difficult to appreciate.

However, since Gu Biao has given other meanings, saying that this is to integrate iP and create a seller's market for adaptation rights, programmers and designers have to bite the bullet even if they can't be aesthetically pleasing.

This is for the boss's grand strategy.

So these two projects were quickly arranged.

As for the goofs, there is absolutely no need to worry, those things Gu Biao has personally played in later generations, and knows that it is a product of Nintendo's GB handheld era, and now there must not even be a shadow.

Many people may not know that the "Pokemon" that the post-80s generation chased when they were young was actually one of the "murderers" of the unfinished tJ of the animated version of another Japanese comic "Little Master of China" at that time:

The three major TV stations have always had the habit of PK ratings in dinner animation files, and each one has a convention, if it is the worst rating among the three works in the same period, then there will be no sequel, or the production budget will be cut.

The fierceness of this competition is also related to the fact that the books of some websites in later generations have not been PK to the strong recommendation position, so they directly cut the same nature.

As a result, in the wave of 96, Fuji TV's "Little Master of China" and Dongshi's "Pokemon" and nhK's "Show Tease Magister" were at the same time {this should be most of the post-80s generation, the protagonist is a comic named Lina Inbas, and what I have seen is generally seen on the website later, and domestic TV stations have not introduced it}.

The reward collection recommendation votes of "The Little Master of China" are the worst of the three, and as a result, the legendary eight kitchenware only found two and ended miserably.

Who makes Chinese cuisine more popular in the culture of Yuben, or after all, it is not as good as the local ingredients. {Of course, in good conscience, a book with a Chinese background can be photographed to be qualified to compare with the other two, which is already an improvement}

Many Chinese audiences, especially those who are brain-dead fans of Chinese food, only learned about this stalk many years later, and they all beat their chests and felt heartbroken: If I had known back then, whoever had poor grades would have been ruined, we should have turned over the collection to reward and recommend tickets! Unfortunately, it was too late for them to know, and the cultural output failed.

Stop talking nonsense and get back to business.

After finalizing the two war strategy/RPg series themes of "Robot Wars" and "Pokemon", Gu continued to review the other savable games that are planned to be released.

The second generation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" must be his own son, after all, the first generation has already shined on the learning machine, and now the performance of the machine has made a leap, how can it be bigger and stronger.

The quality and performance of the first generation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of the Tiankun series are roughly the same as the "Three Kingdoms 2: Overlord Continent" of the glorious company in history.

Now, if you want to move to a new platform that is equivalent to the performance of the mD game console, the production standard must be similar to the historical mD version of "Three Kingdoms V" to be worthy of the machine.

In order to make this game, I heard that Schulhoff also invested some money on the side of the company, and invested some money to control the glorious company, which is still a medium-sized workshop, so that Guangrong will become the first exclusive studio under Tiankun, and help Tiankun's original team focus on historical strategy.

By the way, because of the glorious joining, the series iP of "The Age of Discovery" has also become the first 16-bit machine of Tiankun.

In addition, there are many people who take the initiative to defect to the first place or cooperate with the first because of the strength of Tiankun.

Gu Biao took a cursory glance, and saw in a bunch of test samples the original "Final Fantasy" that should have been released recently and the "Legend of the Holy Sword" as a final fantasy sideline.

Basically, except for those Japanese RPgs independently developed by Nintendo's first party in history, such as "The Legend of Zelda" or something, because it is difficult to dig directly by the enemy, at least seventy or eighty percent of the others have taken the initiative to take the initiative.

Even "Dragon Quest" only dared to first release the second generation on the Tiankun 16-bit machine, and then wait more than a year before releasing it on Nintendo's new machine.

Among them, Gu Biao keenly noticed that Japanese software companies such as Square Enix and Enix, which make "Final Fantasy" and even "Dragon Quest", are not only making games, but also making a lot of application software.

If Gu Biao uses the interests of the game console distribution platform to hook them up into the exclusive development of Wang An Computer, he should be able to get at least some Japanese applications that charge the library.

No matter how bad it is, it can also make consumers have a little more confidence in the richness of the software library of Wang An brand when they buy computers.

"For all of these software companies that aren't just making games, you should all get in touch to see if they have any broader intentions to work together. Gu Biao immediately commanded.

Shulhoff listened and shrugged his shoulders slightly, he knew that the boss was asking him to carry private goods - to use Tiankun's resources to pull Wang An.

However, Schulhoff still decided to listen to the boss, he believed that the other shareholders holding shares in the Tiankun side were not enough to resist the boss's "related party transactions, benefit transfer, and the use of Tiankun's resources to benefit Wang An". 11
