Chapter 39 Promulgation of the Royalty System

The sales of red and white machines in the market are still growing, growing. A few weeks later, the number of units exceeded 1 million, and after a few weeks, it exceeded 2 million.

The people in the Chiba Game Publicity Department were already stunned. Because, they produce TV commercials, as well as promotional plans. Or, it's not on TV yet, or it's just starting to start. The sales of red and white machines have reached such a terrifying speed.

However, there will always be an end to such unscientific growth. And now, it's almost the end. The weekly sales of red and white machines have stabilized at about 50,000 units. Although this data is still dazzling, it also stands out from the crowd among many learning machines with similar positioning. However, compared with the terrifying sales of hundreds of thousands of units in the previous week, it can't be mentioned as an end.

Most things are like this, once people's thresholds are raised, it's hard to fall back. It's like people who love a particular experience and really die of suffocation.

On the weekend of the week before the end of the summer vacation, Chiba Games published such an advertisement on the "Game Pass" - third-party manufacturers are welcome to develop games for red and white machines. For more information, please contact Chiba Games.

As for why this advertisement is only being published now. It was because of Lin Yan and Little Fat Dun that the outline written by Lin Yan was turned into a large paragraph of text. I've finished writing all these things from the basics to the more advanced skills. It's time to open up.

Anyone who calls Chiba Games to inquire also knows how to make a game on a red and white machine.

The requirements of Chiba Games, in the eyes of these manufacturers, can only be described in two words and one word, that is, "domineering".

If you want to make a game for Chiba Games, you must first pay a large amount of deposit, and then you have to buy an expensive "Red and White Machine Developer Kit", and then the game you make will have to go through the review of Chiba Games, and then you can be approved for listing. In the end, all the production will be handed over to Chiba Games. You say you can burn the cassette yourself? Sorry, you don't recognize the Chiba game you burned, and it's not allowed to be sold.

Most people have stopped under such harsh conditions. They felt that the Chiba game was just too much. Everyone used to make arcade machines. Who is not higher than whom, and who is not worse than whom. Why did you build a home game console, so that you can be arrogant and arrogant to us.

Of course, there are also a small number of "spineless" manufacturers. When the other families were still spitting angry, they paid the money and joined the third-party team of the red and white machine.

As a result, the offensive and defensive alliance, which was not very reliable, collapsed in an instant. Some have joined the ranks of red and white machines, some are still waiting, and some are starting to plan their own home game console plans.

Chiba Youxi deigned to come to Lin Yan's nest again, and she said, "The rules you set, aren't they too strong." I've seen a lot of vendors shy away from joining the company. ”

Lin Yan glanced at Chiba Yuki and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry. There are no rules, no circle. The Atari tragedy in the United States is still in sight. I'm probably overkill, but it's much better than being able to 'play freely'. Now the cost of playing games is so high, and the cassette is so expensive, if a player buys a garbage cartridge that is not fun and full of mistakes, it will damage the image of the red and white machine and the Chiba game. ”

Chiba Yuki looked at Lin Yanyan's chiseled appearance. He nodded and said, "Then let's do it first." By the way, it's been on the market for more than a month, and the game is still only the five that just came out. Isn't it time to launch a new game? Otherwise. This sales are only going to get smaller and smaller. ”

"Well, it's time for a new game. However, it may be slower on my side. Because, lately, I've been writing things and don't have much time to think about new games. Lin Yan said.

He also knows. A game, no matter how fun it is, there will be a day when you get tired of playing it. And a home console platform, want to stay alive. There's no other way but to keep coming out with games that keep players engaged. If, the new games are not fun. Then, the life of this platform is also coming to an end.

That's why he brought in a third party. A game platform that only relies on the first party to make games is a very unreliable thing.

Just as a person's energy is limited, so is a company's energy. There are many companies that are proficient in the same way, but there are few companies in the world that are proficient in everything.

However, it will take at least two months for these new game makers to launch their games. Because, they first have to understand the performance of the red and white machine, and then think about what kind of game such a machine is suitable for.

After that, it is a process of making a plan, rejecting it, submitting it to the plan, and rejecting it. Until, there is a game idea that everyone in the company is happy with.

Of course, they were satisfied internally. It does not mean that the review team of Chiba Games is satisfied. If the review team thinks that there is a problem with this game, they will ask this manufacturer to take the game back and return it.

"Well, you should do it as soon as possible, I'm not in a hurry. After all, video games are not something that can be made by saying what you want to do. Yuki Chiba said something, a little contradictory, and walked away in her crown car.

Lin Yan was a little worried at this time. Because, he didn't know what to make a game. Because, the type of game that is suitable for this era, almost all of them have been made by him. How to find a masterpiece that is suitable for this era without preempting other people's homes is very difficult in his opinion.

He is a representative work of all the manufacturers who are now joining the red and white machine camp, all of which can be made in a short period of time. In a short period of time, it seems to be very cool.

But as soon as you stretch the timeline out, you know what a terrible note it is. Because, after all, Lin Yan is a person, and his brain is so big. He can't carry all the games on a home console platform on his own.

Even if everyone doesn't think of him as a monster, they all think of him as a video game genius. He's going to die of exhaustion, too. If you check history, you will know that few people who are crowned with the word genius on the top of their heads live a long life.

Lin Yan still wants to have gray temples, tease his grandson, and take care of his old age. How could you overwork yourself to death for the sake of making games.

He's not a workaholic, and he's not a masochist. (To be continued.) )
