Chapter 1425: A String of Shiny Game Memories
Yin Jun had long known that Nakata Tomoyoshi's trip to Japan would definitely be successful.
So on the way to film in May, when he rested at night, he had already prepared a heavy gift for Kylin Games.
It is also Yin Jun's last gift to Kylin Games in the era of game consoles.
Kylin Games is now actively developing the Street Fighter game, and the follow-up "The King of Fighters" is also slowly underway.
With their staff, they should have more power to develop new games after freeing up their hands from Gameboy.
Especially games that are full of creativity and have great benefits.
In the 80s and 90s, video games all over the world were basically occupied by Japanese companies.
The video game halls that are popular all over the streets and alleys of China are also supported by Japanese game motherboards.
At one time, these video game halls also became a hotbed of juvenile delinquency and a place for catharsis of violence, so after the mid-to-late 90s, these video game halls began to be cracked down on all over the country.
Coupled with the rise of computer games and PS game consoles at that time, these video game halls gradually fell into loneliness and withdrew from the stage of history.
After 2000, they were basically only found in some towns and villages.
But those who have experienced that era will recall that in that era when entertainment was lacking, we still had such a fun way of playing, which was also a very interesting experience.
Yin Jun has played these video games, which were sent by a kind person, and his son no longer plays the Xiaobawang game console, as well as many game cartridges.
Aunt Dean allows the children to play once a week, Yin Jun is not an activist, but he has been practicing for so many years, so he is naturally familiar with a lot of games.
Most of the most classic games he has already created, but there are many classic games that he hasn't had time to come up with.
Now it's time to get them all out.
Because after that, Yin Jun will no longer care about video game consoles.
Kylin Games will become a thorough cash flow supply company, and then wait until ten years later, gradually transform into a computer game company, and in another ten years, it will become the last form of game company that Yin Jun can master - a mobile game company.
Do the math, such a company can grasp the market trend for about 40 years, but it is also a very good industry.
At least compared to industry, it is much more profitable.
Although industry is the lifeblood of the country, its shortcomings such as high investment, difficult access, low returns, and slow cycle are destined to be supported by the state in order to continue to develop.
Don't look at so many heavy industry companies abroad, they are all joint-stock companies, not belonging to the state, but which country does not have policies to support heavy industry companies?
Which country's government has not smashed these heavy industry companies with big orders?
For example, the most famous money-loser - Airbus.
This company, which has to subsidize tens of billions of dollars every year and has a loss of more than 10 billion yuan in the whole European Union, is precisely because it is the only company that can compete with Boeing in the United States and the only airline that can produce large civil aircraft.
If there is no Airbus, then the lifeblood of the whole of Europe will be controlled by the Americans, which is unacceptable.
So even though it is losing a lot of money every year, the EU is still gritting its teeth and persevering.
In fact, it is the same for the heavy industry companies of each country.
Any country with a little ambition will not abandon the heavy industry company, even if it is not profitable, even if it is losing money, it cannot do without.
Such a difficult task, Yin Jun naturally couldn't take it.
Because he is not from a related major, and even if he has this kind of professional knowledge, the change of the overall system is not something he can do alone.
It's still very good to do something now, and you can control it and control its development direction.
If there are no big surprises, in the next 40 years, Kylin Games will be able to provide at least $500 million in net profits to the head office every year.
Now the first step for Yin Jun to do is to give them more security for the next ten years.
Planning a game is much easier than writing a script and writing a comic setting.
A few years ago, Yin Jun wrote the least about the game.
Usually it's just a name.
Because every time he reads that name, Yin Jun can think of how he fought to clear the level, and then the overall details came out.
Yin Jun uses a few pieces of paper every day to write down the characters, settings, and plot of the game, and usually a game can be completed in two nights at most.
The games that Yin Jun took out contain almost all the classic categories in the future.
The first one is the adventure category of games.
Although Super Mario Bros. is the originator of this type of game, and it is enduring to be, in Japan, there is actually another game that has been almost on par with it for more than a decade.
This is "Takahashi Celebrity - Adventure Island", which is referred to as "Adventure Island" in our country.
It's the same character who goes on an adventure to clear the level, but the style of MapleStory is a little more varied and more difficult.
There is also "island" in the name, and the floating island that appears in it is one of its major features.
In the second half of the level, there are a lot of scenes that require fighting, which is also more tense than "Super Mario Bros.", as well as the precision of control.
As a result, many people are accustomed to playing the simple version of Super Mario Bros. and want to play the difficult MapleStory game.
With Kylin Games' previous experience in designing Super Mario Bros., the design difficulty of MapleStory will naturally be much lower.
Basically, the adventure category has these two, and that's enough.
In the second category, Yin Jun chose a parlay game in the fighting category.
The first game is "Three Kingdoms".
This team, composed of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, started all the way from Bowangpo to fight Cao Jun, and finally fought Cao Cao in Huarong Road, which swept many Chinese game fans in the 90s.
Yin Jun first played this in the arcade, and several big brothers in the orphanage saved some money and secretly took Yin Jun out on their days off, and everyone had to patronize the game hall from time to time.
Because the arcade "Three Kingdoms" can be played by three players at the same time, it is very interesting and more team spirit for everyone to work together.
Yin Jun remembered that he liked to pick up the big chicken legs that fell down, so that he could replenish his blood and kill Cao Jun more ferociously.
The second game is "Famous General".
This game is similar to "Three Kingdoms", but it takes place in the Western world, which makes people have a different choice.
Overall, it has a lot of similarities with "Three Kingdoms", but its advantage is that it incorporates many modern weapons and fighting methods, which has its own unique place.
Therefore, the popularity of "Famous General" is no less than that of "Three Kingdoms".
The third game is Double Dragon.
Compared to the previous two games, the fight scenes and intensity of "Double Dragon" are not good at all.
But its structure is simple, and it is a pure urban background, and two men like Stallone team up to deal with the enemy, which is very suitable for younger gamers.
As a result, it is particularly popular among children in the 8-15 age group, such as Yin Jun, who likes this game very much, so he decided to make it.
The third category is simpler and is called casual games.
It's Mahjong.
Don't underestimate this "Mahjong" that plays against machines, it can be extended into dozens of versions.
Normal casual version, beauty and female battle version, and difficult challenge version...... It's no problem to play with all kinds of tricks.
Mahjong is not only popular in China, Japan and South Korea are also known as the quintessence of the country, and there are mahjong parlors everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Asian game fans alone are enough to support the market for Mahjong.
The fourth category is air combat barrage games.
One of the most representative of this is "Thunder and Lightning".
Players control the plane, constantly flying in the starry sky, relying on the size of the enemy's planes to obtain a variety of power-enhancing power, so as to increase their power.
And the more important thing is to dodge the enemy's bullets and missiles.
Sometimes dodging is even more important than firing at you.
Because only by living, there will be everything.
But in the face of the bullets and missiles in the sky, how easy is it to survive?
However, those who can be strong enough to dodge the deadly threat will naturally be able to taste the joy of victory in defeating the Great Demon King.
This is also what makes Raiden very attractive.
The fifth category is casual games.
There are a lot of games in it, but Yin Jun has only played the most classic one.
It's Ranch Story.
"Ranch Story" cannot be said to have created a precedent for simulation management, but it is the most popular and the most suitable for all ages in simulation management games.
Until 2016, new versions of Ranch Story were being released, which shows how popular it is.
When you play this game, you won't feel childish even if you're 30 years old.
I will only feel that "Ranch Story" is full of childlike fun, and there is also a feeling that people are very comfortable to play, without that sense of tension, very relaxed.
A game that can survive forever must have something extraordinary, so Yin Jun must develop it.
The sixth category is the role-playing category.
There is no doubt that the most popular RPG is only that Pokemon.
Legend has it that this is the game that saved the entire Nintendo after Super Mario Bros. was in decline.
If it weren't for the emergence of "Pokemon", which attracted many players to play non-stop, I'm afraid we wouldn't have seen Nintendo's existence.
This long-lived game, still released in 2016, has set a full eight Guinness World Records.
Pokemon's record of 245 million copies sold is also surpassed only by Super Mario Bros.
And one of our well-known animated characters, Pikachu, is one of the monsters in it, and it is also the most famous one!
Because the yokai inside are so popular, it is rare that this group of yokai is still fighting on the TV screen since it began to be animated in 97 until 2020.
……
A total of 8 games in these six categories represent the glorious era of video games.
Holding them is like holding 8 cornucopias, and it will inevitably shake up the entire game world.
Yin Jun doesn't have to worry about taking them out in advance, whether it will make future video games lack up-and-comers, and thus fall into loneliness.
Because human ingenuity is unimaginable.
Every time you think this is the pinnacle, it will break through again.
The teenager hopes that with the excitement of so many classic games, it is the most happy thing for the video game industry to usher in another brilliant bloom!
