Many of the members of the handheld group have been very bored and idle this year.

The two projects, the Cube Machine and the Pokemon Pet Machine, are relatively simple, and they have already completed them all early. And there isn't much follow-up work, and there aren't many bugs that they need to fix. So in the past year, they can only cooperate with some people in the game software development department to develop pixel games, and they are doing some hands-on work.

If you are an employee who just wants to get by, of course, I wish I could be more relaxed. But the members of the handheld group all joined Star Entertainment with great ambition. And I saw that colleagues in other departments of the company were busy one by one, and many achievements were made one after another. Only their hand-held group is so idle, how can they be calm.

As a result, the handheld team has long been eager to develop a new generation of handhelds.

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Our home console is called 'Phantasy Star', so our handheld still uses this name." The English name is 'PhantasystarPortable', abbreviated as 'PsP'. After the meeting, Team Leader Zhang, you and my assistant Lu Junxiang will go and get the PsP design plan I wrote. ”

When you hear "PsP", most of the people who think of it are handheld computers developed by Sony. And the abbreviation of Wu Ming's "Phantasy Star" handheld is also "PsP", which is just a coincidence. Wu Ming's name for the handheld is "PhantasystarPortable", and the name of the handheld for Sony in the original time and space is "PlaystationPortable", and it just so happens that the abbreviation of both handhelds is "PsP".

However, Wu Ming's "PsP" handheld is naturally unlikely to be comparable to Sony's PsP handheld. In terms of appearance, because Wu Ming liked Sony's PsP handheld very much in his previous life, the design is exactly the same as Sony's PsP.

Zhang Zihao became more and more excited, and blurted out: "Our handheld team will definitely complete the task perfectly and develop the PsP handheld as soon as possible." ”

Wu Ming smiled slightly: "Although our company wants to launch the next generation of handheld computers first, we still have to adhere to the attitude of perfection and can't rush to work." And no other game company will be developing a new generation of handheld consoles for the time being, so you don't have to rush too much. ”

Zhang Zihao nodded to indicate that he understood.

Wu Ming turned his head to look at Zhao Yuliang, the leader of the arcade team, and said with a smile: "I won't assign more tasks to your arcade team, after all, you have been busy all the time." ”

When Zhao Yuliang heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "It's still the boss, you understand us." ”

Of the three technology development teams in the Platform Technology Development Department, it can be said that the arcade team is the busiest, and it is busy all year round. It's not at all like the host team that has a long vacation after completing the task, and it's not as idle as the handheld team.

Wu Ming knew some of the development direction of the arcade in recent years, and he had already told the arcade team that he would naturally not assign them any more tasks.

"Finally, I will assign some tasks to your game software development department," Wu Ming looked at Cao Yongping, the head of the game software development department, "In the next year, I will take some personnel in your department to develop some new games, and you can also apply to develop some new games."

But it's time for you to start working on the sequels to the old games. My friends have been looking forward to the sequels to games like "Bubble Dragon" and "Snake" for a long time. ”

Cao Yongping smiled, Zhu Yin, Zhou Huimin and a few of them came to Xingchen Entertainment, he naturally knew who Wu Ming's "little friends" were referring to.

"It just so happened that some newcomers still needed to exercise, so I asked a few old people to take them to develop a sequel. ”

……

After the meeting, Wu Ming came to the game software development department, found all the developers he needed, and then distributed his game plan.

Game Name: MapleStory

Game type: Action-adventure game

Game Setting: In the game, if the protagonist crashes into an enemy character, a huge rolling stone, a flame, or falls into the water, falls into a deep pit, etc., it will lead to death. The protagonist can absorb energy and gain new abilities from various items along the way, such as fruits and eggs. New abilities include {but not limited to} Attack Damage, Skateboarding, Elven Protection, and The Hungry {Accelerated Energy Deduction}.

The operation rules are as follows......

The item items are as follows......

The scoring rules are as follows......

The physical effect requirements are as follows......

The requirements for the graphics are as follows......

The production cost is limited as follows......

After about ten minutes, everyone read the game plan carefully.

Wu Ming looked at everyone with a smile on his face and asked, "Have you read it carefully, what do you think of this game?"

One of them, Jashankar Lee, replied with a smile: "Boss, your games have always been very fun, and this MapleStory should be no exception. However, we will not know exactly how it will be developed until it is developed. ”

Speaking of the game "Maplestory", the most profound influence of mainlanders should be the cartoon 2D online game that once swept the mainland. But when you hear the name in other countries, it should be a 2D side-scrolling game that comes to mind.

The full name of this game is "Takahashi Celebrity Adventure Island", many mainlanders have never heard of this game, but this game and its sequel are actually one of the main games on Nintendo's red and white machine, and Hudson Games has released a total of four generations of adventure island on red and white machines.

MapleStory and the famous Super Mario Bros. are the same genre, so it's inevitable that gamers and industry insiders will be compared to each other. However, although this game is somewhat similar to Super Mario Bros. on the surface, the actual gameplay is very different.

Although it has not become a classic game like Super Mario Bros., it is also a rare and excellent game. Originally, this game quickly became popular throughout the island country as soon as it was launched, creating a large number of loyal players of Adventure Island, and even launched the comic book "Takahashi Famous Characters".

And this "MapleStory Island" series of games is one of several games prepared by Wu Ming to promote the Psb game console.

Another developer, Chen Minbo, laughed: "Some of the content seems to be full of novelty, but it's impossible to know if MapleStory is fun or not. But boss, the game you developed, there is not a single game that is not fun. I'm sure this game is the same. ”

Others also opened their mouths and expressed their opinions.

In the past two years, Wu Ming has personally presided over the development of a game that is not fun, and the games developed by handing over the game plan to others are also considered excellent games, and Wu Ming can often give correct suggestions to other people's self-developed games. So in Xingchen Entertainment, Wu Ming's reputation among the developers in the game software development department is the highest.

Naturally, most people think that this MapleStory will be an excellent game that will increase the sales of Psb consoles.
