Meeting site. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The projector is constantly projecting various slides on the big screen. This kind of presentation technique will be very common in the future, but in the present, it is a high-tech speech.

The audience seemed to have become fans of the speaker Lin Qi.

"Greetings to distinguished guests and partners. Thank you all for participating in the 1st generation third-party game program developer conference initiated by our company. In the future, everyone can continue to share weal and woe with us, and make the 1st generation platform bigger together, that is, our friends, friends are coming, and there are beers and barbecues. If some friends feel that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, it will not be regarded as an enemy, unless they are qualified to fight with our products, they will be enemies. ”

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, today's world is undoubtedly dominated by semiconductors and computers, and various semiconductor, electronics, software and other industries and companies are running at a high speed. Lin Qi smiled and said, "What is a computer? Is it a mainframe computer and supercomputer developed by IBM? No, take Apple as an example, their Apple II has successfully sold millions of units and is widely used in the office and service industries, although its performance cannot be compared with today's mainframe computers, but it is better than the performance of large-scale computers a few decades ago. This kind of computer, which is smaller than a minicomputer, is called a microcomputer, and it is certainly a computer.

The Apple II is only a type of microcomputer, which is more suitable for the office. But there are more microcomputers on the market for other purposes, such as the Atari 2600, which is the same level of performance as the Apple II, and it has the motherboard, CPU, display chip, and memory that the computer should have. As long as there are manufacturers willing to develop floppy drives and printers that are compatible with them, they can also be used in the office. Of course, it can do it in the office market, but it doesn't have the leading position in the home console market.

So, the Atari 2600 is also a microcomputer, although we generally call it a game console, but it does not mean that a game console and a computer are two different things, in fact, they are both computers...... So, is our current Palm Entertainment 1st generation a computer?"

Is the 1st generation of palm entertainment considered a computer?

Everyone present couldn't help but be stunned!

"Count?"

"Probably not. ”

In the midst of the controversy, Lin Qi smiled and said: "I personally think that it is a computer, with a motherboard, CPU, and memory, which can read the programs stored in the game card and run these programs. Therefore, it is a computer, but in order to be miniaturized and more suitable for handheld entertainment, the functions must be limited.

In addition, our platform is about to be opened, and authorized third-party game developers in the future can get our development tools to write game programs that can run on the first-generation platform of Palm Entertainment, this model may be familiar to you, and the Atari 2600 platform adopts a similar model.

However, the Atari 2600 platform is now full of drawbacks. For example, games can be released without review, resulting in more than 10,000 games released every year. The vast majority of games are junk titles, so players are becoming more cautious about buying new games on the Atari 2600 platform. ”

"At present, the largest market for game software is still the Atari 2600 platform, but for ordinary game developers, can they really make money on the 2600 easily? I comment, it's difficult! Although the Atari 2600 platform currently has more than 10 million users, it is on par with the size of microcomputer users. The variety of games developed by its third-party game developers is also outrageous. This year, 1981, the Atari 2600 platform has no accurate statistics on how many new games were released in a year. And our rough statistics are more than 17,000 games. There are thousands of third-party game development companies around the world that develop game software around this platform, but unfortunately, there are fewer than 100 game developers who can make money. Most of them are lost, and even if a game with decent quality is developed, it is buried in a flood of new games. I think that the Atari 2600 platform will collapse sooner or later! If Atari doesn't handle it well, it may fall from the clouds!"

Many game developers present suddenly realized after hearing this, and some did not believe it.

thinks that Lin Qi, the boss of Xinchuang Electronics, is not authentically slandering the boss of the industry. After all, if the second boss in the industry doesn't kill the boss, how can he be in the position?

"Yes, Atari's predictions, or you think I'm slandering, cursing. However, it won't be long, next year, or the year after that, well, no more than three years, and everyone will see the results. Because we noticed the shortcomings of the Atari 2600 platform, we will definitely be different and avoid these problems! The biggest difference is that we will review every game that is about to be released, and we will prevent bad games from going on the market at the beginning!" Lin Qi said, "Only games that pass the review can be released on the Palm Entertainment 1st generation platform." This ensures that the vast majority of games are above the standard and players don't hesitate to buy games. The game market is healthy, and most of the games that go on the market can make money. My original intention is to hope that the games listed on the market have a high probability of making money, not like the Atari 2600 platform, the games listed are losing money with a high probability!"

The third-party game development companies present couldn't help but change color, in fact, none of the companies wanted their products to go through a rigorous review before they could go on the market.

"Of course, we also give free personnel training to third-party development companies, including the assembly of XRM chips, as well as various development tools and rationale. Lin Qi smiled and said, "Although, the new architecture of the XRM chip needs to be learned from scratch. But it's also an opportunity, after all, there aren't many technicians who have mastered XRM assembly and XRM chip programming right now. Therefore, at the beginning, the new games released on the 1st generation platform of Zhangyu were easily welcomed by players. Because, the number of games is too small at the moment, and the room for choice is relatively low......"

At this moment, including Zou Wenhuai, who doesn't understand technology, is happy. For Lin Qi's first generation of Zhangyu, he is absolutely confident.

After all, the previous generation of "China Cube" handheld, Zou Wenhuai has become a die-hard fan, he is confident in his preferences, thinking that even he can be attracted, this game will definitely be popular, and now the sales of "China Cube" handheld, the stock price is not a problem to break 100 million.

Therefore, in Zou Wenhuai's view, even if it can't surpass the previous handheld, it won't be worse there.

What he is most afraid of is that this platform is highly competitive, there are too many games, and Golden Harvest is not enough to win. Now, the technical threshold of the platform determines that the company that joins at the beginning will definitely be able to occupy the first-mover advantage.

After the third-party developer conference, none of the third-party game developers present gave up. Because, because it is optimistic about the prospects of the first-generation platform of Zhangyu, it will choose to become a third-party game developer.

The first batch of third-party developers, Golden Harvest Company, is considered rich, so it can use money to dig up some skilled talents.

There are also some developers who are incubated from within the new start-up electronics companies and independent game companies, and the founders of these companies have their own technology.

If you have money or technology, you are full of confidence. Of course, some speculative companies may not be able to successfully become third-party game developers.

After the meeting.

Zou Wenhuai asked Lin Qi for advice with sincerity, and said: "Lin is always the godfather of the game industry, and I don't know what I can teach a novice like our Golden Harvest Game Company?"

"I don't dare to say it. Lin Qi said with a smile, "Your company has advantages in movies and star resources, and after entering the game industry, you can use the existing advantages to adapt games." For example, stars such as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan can use their fame to adapt games. or a classic movie with very stable fans, or you can use its theme to adapt the game. However, you can't sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, and use the popularity of celebrities or movies and television to attract original fans to play the game, if the quality of the game is too poor, it may cause negative effects. In short, no matter what you do, you must strive for high-quality products. Movies and games, only good quality products, can impress the market, the audience, and players! What is a good game? First of all, it is not only the opinion of senior gamers or industry bigwigs, but also the opinion of ordinary people; for example, our "Chinese Cube" does not need to learn how to play at all, and many players can get started with it for the first time, and they will not get tired of playing it, which is a good game. Of course, not all good games should be like Chinese Cubes, which is so humble that it can be considered an unrepeatable classic. In the future, most of the games will be more complex. But any good game must have a different quality or experience than other games. In short, it should be fun and easy to play for new players. To attract players who have played countless games, you need to innovate. But in any case, a game that is too difficult is still anti-human. Games and movies, any kind of entertainment, the most marketable, is not the most in-depth, but the most simple and easy to understand! Boss Zou, you don't need to understand game technology, you just need to be a gamer, your company's developers develop a new game, as an ordinary player, after understanding the gameplay, experience it. Assuming that you find it interesting and easy to pick up, there are certainly some players who agree with you, if not all of them think so. ”

Zou Wenhuai smiled when he heard this: "No wonder Mr. Lin is young, and he has achieved achievements that we have struggled for decades that we have not been able to achieve! If you come to make a movie, you must also be a headache opponent!"

Lin Qi smiled and said in his heart, when I enter the film and television industry, don't cry.
