Chapter 92: Wrong Leadership, Great Score
After the relaxation of the vacation and the baptism of brainstorming, the game development department spent more than a month and finally came up with a work that made Lin Yi nod.
Americans are free to carry guns, so shooters, of course, are the first choice for development. The light gun from Bell Labs can be considered to be useful now.
Originally, everyone agreed to make a western cowboy game. However, Lin Yi's "Red Dead Redemption" was rejected due to technical limitations during brainstorming.
Later, Lin Yi proposed "Duck Fighting", and everyone thought it was simple and feasible, so they tried to make it.
What is annoying is that the things that fly out of the grass look like white-striped chickens no matter how you look at them, and they don't have the flamboyance of wild ducks at all! After Lin Yi saw the picture, he was speechless for a long time.
In the end, I had no choice but to continue to simplify and make "Playing Frisbee". then rubbed the popularity of science fiction and evolved "Flying Saucer".
Tom and Jack are strong and have designed 15 flight variations, which is a lot better than the 8 in "Table Tennis".
To be honest, with such a simple game, Lin Yi was very uncertain. He definitely doesn't have the desire to play, maybe he can trick two lollipops from a child's pocket?
As for racing games, the products on the market are all pretty much the same. The main improvements to the game of Paradise are the addition of barricades and traps, which adds some fun.
Lin Yi was quite satisfied with it, this kind of progress was definitely only half a step! And in the game in his previous life, there was a motorcycle obstacle race, which he quite liked.
Finally, there are casual games, whether it is "Lianliankan" or "Tetris", the current level of technology has been realized.
But Lin Yi didn't even think about it, so he vetoed them! Such a classic game, of course, should be used at critical moments. Although the game of paradise is growing rapidly, it is not powerful enough.
When Tom was at HP, he used their mainframe to develop a complex board game. But you can't play it on the arcade, and the copyright doesn't belong to him.
It's a pity that those simple board games have been developed by others. In the end, I decided to try to adapt the board game military chess into a video game.
After a few months of expansion, Paradise's game development team has grown to more than 30 people. During this time, twenty new games have been designed, either adapted or remodeled.
However, Lin Yi was picky, and when the plan was discussed, he directly shot more than half of it! The rest of the games can be released and tried. Even if he fails, he doesn't feel distressed.
It's not that Lin Yi is not bad for money, but a few small failures will benefit him even more! Cover up the identity of the traverser? This kind of worry is not necessary!
Since the publication of Mark Twain's novel, "The Americans in Arthur's Dynasty", I don't know how many guys have claimed to have crossed over, or are reborn prophets?
Even if Lin Yi said something about the crossing, it would only make everyone laugh, after all, 'the wolf is coming'!
If he sticks to his guns, he won't become a guinea pig. It is very likely that he will be forcibly sent to a mental hospital! In the end, there will be another play, "One Flew Over the Asylum"!
Not being a perfect leader comes from Lin Yi's reading experience. If the leadership is always right, those game developers may develop dependencies and their creativity will drop dramatically.
Therefore, in an innovative enterprise, for the sake of long-term consideration, the leader occasionally makes a mistake to ensure the vitality of the team!
========= dividing line ========
The investigation team traveled for a week, and Ferran called back for the first time: "RB Market, the inspection has been completed, I think Paradise Arcade is very potential here!"
According to the investigation, for more than a decade, RB has become a popular game of marble, called 'Pachinko'. It's a bit like a gambling machine, where players can win gifts and even cash prizes.
As a result, pachinko houses are popping up in many RB cities! Compared to the United States, there are many more housewives there.
In addition, RB's game centers are not only numerous, but also not small. What's more, it's not like a bar, which restricts access for minors.
So, Phelan proposed: "Although the population of RB is less than half that of the United States, the number of potential players is likely to surpass." It should be a good choice to build a factory to sell nearby. ”
Sega, Sony, Nintendo, RB's huge game potential, of course Lin Yi is very coveted, so he agreed without hesitation: "Only with investigation can you have the right to speak, just do as you say!"
However, the matter of setting up a factory is not simple. Phelan also encountered a problem: "RB is very protective of the domestic market. If we want to pry it, we may need to find someone to work with. ”
"There's a Sega game company, I don't know if the boss has heard of it? It's an American company in RB, and the original performance has been very good. However, in recent years, the situation has deteriorated in competition with locals. ”
It seems that if you want to enter the RB market, you may not be able to eat alone. Lin Yi can understand this question.
Just like the U.S.-Japan auto dispute, no matter how much pressure the United States exerts, the plan to advance into the RB market will always be difficult to advance.
Lin Yi just agreed, and on the other end of the phone, he raised the issue of negotiation again: "I plan to leave two people and talk slowly on the RB side." The rest of the staff followed me to visit Hong Kong and Singapore. ”
The copyright of "Rogue Goofy" took six months to sell, but the final result was not bad. So Lin Yi understands that whoever is in a hurry first in the negotiation will lose!
Patience is the cornerstone of success, and Lin Yi is willing to wait slowly. I also want to see what Ferran will gain from the next trip?
========== dividing line =========
When you're tired, it feels good if someone can talk.
It's a pity that these days, Xiangyanghua is either writing term papers, or working with Lin Zhilan to tinker with toy companies. The girl was so busy hitting the back of her head that she didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Yi.
The girl is so serious, Lin Yi is not easy to disturb. After finishing his journalism homework, he was bored and switched to the TV channel. Finally, there was a basketball game that caught his eye.
It turns out that in this era, there are two basketball associations in the United States, the ABA and the NBA. News reports say the two are about to merge.
In his previous life, Lin Yi was not tall, so he didn't like basketball. In the past six months or so, he has grown to 1.79 meters, but he can play with it.
The three major balls in the United States, baseball and rugby, Lin Yi can't understand. Thankfully, he can still enjoy the NBA league.
Take advantage of the introduction of the players on the field and quickly understand the situation. Otherwise, Lin Yi doesn't know any of these players.
Boston Celtics vs Phoenix Suns – It's the two sides of the matchup.
The game was extremely intense, and at the end of the third quarter, the scores of both sides had exceeded 100!
The commentator was also very excited: "There is only one quarter left, and this year's NBA Finals will decide the winner! Who will win the championship 3:2, let's wait and see!"
After the last 12 minutes of fierce competition, the final result was fixed at 128:126. The Celtics beat the Suns at home by a narrow margin.
As the commentator said, this is the greatest game in the NBA! Lin Yi, as a goalscorer, has such a high score, which makes him feel refreshed!
He was still not satisfied, walked into the storage room, and somehow found an old basketball from somewhere. It should be a souvenir left by a certain tenant.
Unfortunately, there are only tennis courts nearby, not basketball courts. So Lin Yi could only go to an open place and dribble the ball casually. By the way, fantasize about the heroic posture of galloping across the field after you play!
