Chapter 716: Kumamon is a bear

"Come out, little fire dragon!"

As Aoi threw with his right hand, the red and white Poké Balls tumbled and smashed into the floor in front of him, emitting a cloud of smoke, from which an orange lizard with a large head, small short legs, and a small flame burning on the tip of its tail popped out. As soon as the latter came out, he shook his short neck and looked back and forth, and soon saw Aoi, looking at him with two blue eyes, and there was a look of doubt in his big watery eyes.

"Stupid! your enemy is behind!" Aoi, who was wearing glasses on his head, shouted anxiously.

Soon a stream of water shot at the back of the little fire dragon, splashing everywhere, almost hitting its tail with its biggest weakness, and seeing that Aoi was so angry and anxious that he stood aside and jumped straight to his feet, he almost rushed up to replace him.

But that's impossible, the little fire dragon and the Jenny turtle opposite it are both virtual with glasses on their faces, and they can't be seen or touched.

"Stupid Aoi!use the control panel!" At this time, someone next to him finally couldn't stand it, prompting him to quickly call out the control panel.

Aoi Tao woke up like a dream, and hurriedly summoned the skill panel, and the little fire dragon in front of him finally turned around and spit out a small flame, leaving some traces of fire on the shell of the Jenny turtle opposite.

The physics are more pronounced, and the elves' models and expressions are more refined, but this battle system makes him feel depressed.

It's not that he's played the orthodox turn-based system for nearly twenty years, but it's a very rudimentary real-time system, he can control the little fire dragon to release skills and dodge the opponent's skills at any time, but the dodge direction is only left and right, and the attack method is also two, and the powerful one still needs to accumulate energy.

But because it was simple enough, Aoi Tao quickly mastered the essentials of the operation, and commanded the little fire dragon to flash and move to fight well. It's just that the attributes are too powerful, and the little fire dragon finally ended up defeating. Seeing that the other party was depressed and didn't dare to look at him, covered in water stains and ticking, the "stupid idiot" who made Aoi to his mouth couldn't say anything.

In the end, it was the Poké Ball lying next to him who took away the little fire dragon, and it was only then that Aoi Tao came out of a somewhat overly excited state. Reaching out to remove the glasses on his face, he stretched out his thumb to a group of men who looked like crooked nuts next to him, shouting "Death is wide!"

Without the translator next to him to speak, the group of people already understood what he meant, and they all smiled and nodded in response, especially a few guys with Western faces nodded their heads and looked like they were coming to praise me.

Walking up to everyone, Aoi showed his true face and said with some annoyance, "It's just that Pokemon is too stupid now, can you make it smarter?"

A young man with a Chinese appearance stood up, "If Aoi-kun is talking about the voice command function, in fact, there is already one, you can wait and look for it in the settings menu, and then conduct voice training for a period of time." ”

Then the technical engineer from Bee HQ added: "All you see now is the initial alpha version, and in the next version we will add a newbie bootstrap so that you don't get as overwhelmed as you do today." ”

Aoi Tao first blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment, then shook his head and said: "No, no, I mean to let it understand what I mean, and it can be like in the manga and animation, can I do it?"

Mr. Cartoonist's brain has been opened, and he is bubbling out with a whimsical idea. In fact, these are the thoughts and resentments that he accumulated when he played Pokemon on the GBA as a child.

"This is a bit troublesome, it is easier for the system to recognize limited combat commands, and the recognition accuracy is high and the power consumption is relatively low, but the accuracy of unspecified voice recognition will drop a lot, and the algorithm is complex and the power consumption is large, so it is not suitable for this device. ”

Mr. Engineer completely forgot that the opposite side was a crooked nut who did not understand Chinese, and said a lot of words, making the translation girl next to him anxious, and finally only translated the last half of the sentence.

Getting a negative answer, Aoi Tao was not discouraged, and continued to incarnate as a problem baby, "Can the battle mode be improved? It shouldn't be a problem to change to a full ARPG? ”

"There's nothing wrong with the technology, but it requires the consent of Pokemon, NianticLabs, and even Nintendo, and we can't change it on our own," Engineer Bee said, gesturing at the brown-haired white man beside him.

The latter naturally listened to the translation, but said with an exaggerated expression: "Meng, of course you can't do this? That will lead to serious compatibility problems!"

Meng Yu corrected the other party's pronunciation with a smile, and then said with a smile Of course we will abide by the agreement and promise not to cause you trouble.

This result seemed to hit Aoi Tao, who instantly dropped as if he was deflated, and actually squatted on the ground and drew a circle desolately despite the presence of the guests.

This scene naturally made everyone's embarrassment index rise a lot, and the most embarrassing thing was that his immediate boss, Mr. Minister Utamumori, hurriedly stood up and explained that Aoi is a young manga artist, and he was a little emotional today, hoping that everyone would not be surprised, and then hurriedly pulled everyone to visit the company's roof garden.

A group of people hula left the big office, and Aoi Tao was pulled up by his colleague.

Because of the successful cooperation with Google in the VR field, Bee will be able to participate in the upcoming release of Pokemon GO, but it is only limited to making specific clients for its own BG3/MVG, and the control and interests of PMgo are always in the hands of the other companies mentioned by Meng Yu.

Among them, Pokemon is an independent subsidiary of Nintendo, and Nintendo has placed the Pokemon series IP into it and accounted for 33% of the shares; NianticLabs is a subsidiary of Google, and they used to be part of the Google Maps team, and they are good at and passionate about developing LBS (geolocation-related) games, and this PMgo is their third title, for which they have even received investment from Nintendo and PM Company.

If this mobile online game becomes a hit, Apple and Google, as publishers, can get 30% of the revenue of their respective platforms, and Niantic and Pokemon will share the rest, and Nintendo, as a shareholder of these two companies, can only receive income from their dividends. Of course, if the game is popular, the old IP of Pokemon can also take the opportunity to take the lead, and Lao Ren can also make money by releasing other games, selling dolls and even animated DVDs.

Lao Ren used to attach too much importance to handheld computers and despise mobile phones, so that in the era of mobile games, they were easily surpassed by many emerging forces, and they chose to hand over the core IP to Niantic, which did not mean to borrow chickens and eggs.

Bees are also borrowing eggs from chickens, but their nests are much smaller.

If this popular IP adaptation of the AR online game can achieve the expected success, MVG can start the first shot, and the subsequent development will be much smoother, Magic Mirror is the civilian consumer version of BG3, the shell is more beautiful and cool, and the specific configuration has also been fine-tuned to reduce costs.

However, even so, the price is still as high as $699, and the high price will inevitably block most users from the outside, and the lack of users will naturally not be taken seriously by developers, and they are even more reluctant to develop special content for them.

There is no way for bees to do this, which is why they put the consumer version of BG3 in Japan, where the anime culture is more rich and the average purchasing power is higher. For those who are obsessed with two-dimensional characters, a few hundred dollars is not a big number, and it is enough to buy a few official pillows less.

And if it becomes popular in Japan, it will be easier to open the market if it is sold back to China, as long as you pay attention to the price and service, you may be able to get a hat with a "conscience of domestic products" to wear.

The calculation behind this is naturally not clear to Tao Aoi, but he has also understood that neither the bee headquarters nor the Miyazaki branch have much say in this project, and his proposal is impossible to be realized, so he can't help but sigh.

"Aoi-kun, what you think is too simple, if PMgo becomes a pure action battle game, what about the operation of the mobile version? And Nintendo should not agree to the emergence of such an action-oriented game, although they will let Mario go to the sea for money to make films, but this kind of thing will not be done, they still need to continue to reproduce pokemon, to help this handheld to support sales. ”

Aoi Tao glanced at Yoshi Higashino, who was speaking, "I didn't expect you to be still a hidden Ren Hei? I happened to watch that film, and it was very bad." ”

Then the two young people chatted like this, from the investment set plot to the choice of actors, and seriously debated the philosophical topic of what kind of actress is more beautiful.

Nintendo does have two blue films under its name, but they are not actively filmed, but the result of the American studio's side game, the title of the film is SuperHornioBro., because the "plot" is too long and is divided into upper and lower episodes. When Nintendo heard about the project and was reluctant to sue the merchants of the San Fernando Valley, it decided to buy out the two films so that they could not be released to the market.

It wasn't until a few years ago that the relevant video circulated on the Internet, and it suddenly blinded countless people. Originally, the plumber brothers were very blind when they made a film, and what was even more blind was the bad plot and poor picture quality of this show, after all, this is a low-cost old film made in 1993, so naturally there will be no good picture quality.

"Aoi and Higashino glanced at each other, stopped talking about this topic that most men liked to hear, and returned to their seats to continue their work today.

It didn't take long for a short-haired woman wearing a black leather jacket and leather pants and nose rings to pierce earrings walked in. She walked up to Aoi Tao, tapped her leather gloved fingers on the table, and asked, "Little Aoi, aren't there guests from other companies coming today?"

"That, that," the latter stammered, "and they're all upstairs looking at the garden." ”

"That's right, then you can continue to work, and you have to work hard today!" The big sister in leather clad patted him twice on the shoulder, turned around and went out.

When the pressure was gone, Tao Aoi jumped up from the chair and said to Yoyuki Higashino, "It's dangerous!"

If this deputy minister named Masami Ozawa heard about the topic of color just now, the two of them would definitely be dragged to the gym for half an hour. This punk sister is not as gentle and virtuous as her name, she has a strong feminist and even feminine tendencies, and she is also a violent maniac, and anyone who brings up any topic that makes her unhappy in person will be dragged to the gym to practice and leave a deep muscle memory.

Don't look at the combined weight of the two of them, but the combat power is not even 5, and they are not the opponent of this beautiful boss at all, after all, the other party is the owner of the three black belts of karate, judo, and taekwondo, and there is a powerful family secret, even if all the men in the entire company go together, they may not be able to get this eldest sister.

Not long after the mood was relaxed, the palpitating voices sounded again, but this time it was not Vice Minister Ozawa who went and returned, but their mobile phones rang.

All mobile phones ring a ringtone at the same time, which seems to be a spectacular thing, and in the early years, mobile phone manufacturers used such scenes in advertising. But for Aoi, this bell has a different meaning, there is an earthquake!

Sure enough, soon someone shouted, "Oops, it's Kumamoto!"

Tao Aoi vaguely heard someone say, "It's good to be Kumamoto", and before he could tell whose voice it was, he felt the floor under his feet start to shake.

The earthquake occurred in Kumamoto City, a few dozen kilometers away, and it took only a dozen seconds for the fastest P wave to reach Miyazaki City. But such a notice is also meaningful, so that they have a certain psychological preparation not to panic, and also have time to get under the table as the earthquake training says, so as not to be hit by ceiling hangings.

Fortunately, the decoration of the office is very reliable, and there are no falling objects and injuries. When the slightly slower S wave arrived, and after the ground shook for the second time, everyone got out and took their mobile phone wallets and went downstairs together.

The rest of the work today is no longer possible because there is a power outage. The only good news is that Miyazaki is not the epicenter of the disaster, and the power outage should only be a precautionary measure, and if there is no problem, it should be restored soon.

When Meng Yu was dragged downstairs, the Japanese in the open space were discussing topics such as "Kumamon is really unlucky", which made Lao Meng speechless.

But before that, all he needed to do was quietly and unobtrusively leave the leather-clad beauty. The soft feet were taken off the stairs by the beauty, but it is not a plus!
