Chapter Twenty-Three: The Spring Festival and the Test [Asking for Recommendation Votes!
Because the residential area of 10,000 households does not adopt the design of a unit building, and everyone is a colleague and knows each other, so there is still a New Year's flavor.
For example, after the traditional state-owned enterprise performs a New Year's performance in the Great Hall, families go outside to enjoy the fireworks.
Although fireworks have not been banned anywhere in the country this year, not many people have set them off. For no other reason, everyone has no money.
Of course, for example, Wanhu is the exception.
Takahashi and the little geisha dressed like Siberian brown bears, holding hands, looking up at the fleeting fireworks, their hearts warmed.
For the Chinese New Year, people of different ages feel different, and the same is true for fireworks.
The children chirped and liked the beautiful appearance of the fireworks, while the adults more or less sighed that a year had passed, and many people and things around them had bloomed like fireworks and then disappeared.
Wanhu's handheld machine has reached the level of quasi-mass production machine, and now the first is to optimize the specific process details, reduce the process as much as possible, and improve the yield rate. The second is to conduct a durability test for the handheld.
Takahashi's handheld standards can be described as harsh, first of all, the handheld must be able to fall from a height of 1.5 meters without damage to the hardware, and be able to play in production.
Second, it puts forward high requirements for the durability of machine buttons.
For example, the up, down, left, right, and arrow keys and the "one" and "two" function buttons, Takahashi's required lifespan level is 3 million clicks.
Originally, Takahashi thought that these often manipulated keys would reach five million clicks. However, unless it is the use of parts from the original and the United States.
Otherwise, domestic suppliers, even if they break their heads, will not be able to reach this level of quality.
This is not because of no effort, nor can it be solved by a single accessories manufacturer, in the final analysis, it lies in the backwardness of material technology.
However, even with a lifetime of three million clicks, it is more difficult for domestic manufacturers to do it. Although Wanhu has completed the investment promotion at a very reasonable price in China, it still has to conduct a separate test for each batch of parts.
It's not that Wanhu is unkind, and it's not that you take off your pants and fart. But for the supply chain, it must be strictly controlled. If you relax a little and use inferior parts, it will mainly cause losses to players who have purchased the product, and at the same time, it will also damage the reputation of Wanhu.
However, the current test, testing the durability of the keys is only one aspect. On the other hand, it is necessary to see if there are any imperfections in the details of the product.
Of course, mechanical repetitive key tests, drop tests, waterproof tests, and heat resistance tests play a very important role. But the features are not as big as they could be.
In order to more reasonably simulate the real use experience of users, the children living in the Wanhu Park have all received a handheld as a New Year's gift.
For such a high-tech thing, the children really liked it. Fortunately, the electronics of this era will not explode.
Otherwise, Takahashi would not be at ease to test these products that have not yet been fully finalized and let the children test them as guinea pigs. To put it mildly, the child is the sun at eight or nine o'clock, the hope of the future.
The children of Wanhu, to a large extent, will become the backbone of Wanhu in ten or twenty years.
The games that match the handheld are also planned to be sent to the children one after another.
From side-scrolling games, to role-playing games, to strategy role-playing games, to puzzle games.
Before there was no third party to join, Wanhu had already relied on its own strength to fill almost all the types. In this way, although not every game sells well. However, at least players who like the genre have a reason to buy a handheld.
And, in Takahashi's vision, the handheld version of the "Tetris" cartridge will still inherit the characteristics of the "Tetris" handheld bonus accumulation.
Having said that, the first game to enter the hands of children was not "The Sims - The Way of the Cartoonist", which had been produced by Little Geisha, but "The Legend of Wulin" developed by Wang Xiaohua's group.
The reason why the first release is "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" is because "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" is based on Chinese, and the children who are guinea pigs can understand it directly. And other games,It's more or less a process of sinicization.。
"The Legend of Wulin" Takahashi has already started playing, although the plot of the game is basically the same as "The Legend of the Fairy Family" deceived by Yao, but it feels like two things to play.
If "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is compared to a romance story with a fairy background, then "The Legend of Wulin" is a legend of the rivers and lakes with women as a foil.
In this game, the woman is just a foil, and this game is heaven and earth. Slaughtering chickens and dogs, rummaging through boxes and cabinets is just a wish, to become a hero.
Maybe it's because Wang Xiaohua hasn't been infected by too many mainstream role-playing games, and this "Legend of the Martial Arts" is not exactly a linear story experience. Instead, it is very groundbreaking to add the setting of good and evil.
And this setting of good and evil finally leads to the theme of the whole game. What is a hero? Is it to be a hero in the eyes of others, or to be a hero of oneself.
Being a hero in the eyes of others is the route of "goodness". And being one's own hero is the route of "evil".
The ending of the game ends when the protagonist is on the peak.
If you ask Takahashi to evaluate how well this game is doing, there are actually a lot of problems with this game. However, the flaws are not hidden, and it can be seen that Wang Xiaohua has the talent to lead the production of a game.
After the boys played this game, they began to mumble about martial arts cheats all day long, and even some elementary school children also sorted out a set of methods for mouth cannon martial arts duels.
Children's ideas are always whimsical and always rambling. A "Legend of Wulin" that is not very complete opens the door to a new world for children.
Takahashi was also relieved to see that so many children liked to play "The Legend of Wulin". For a long time, Wanhu's market development in Chinese-speaking areas has been relatively small. And this Wanhu handheld is a weapon used by Wanhu to attack the Chinese-speaking market.
Takahashi has even thought about it, and after the product is officially launched, he will go to Hong Kong movies for advertising placement.
Although the absolute peak of Hong Kong cinema was in the 80s, the influence of Hong Kong cinema in the whole of East Asia in the 90s was still good.
The effect of a small product placement is likely to be beyond imagination.
