After nearly a year of production, "Three Kingdoms" is finally online. Instead of using the Chiba game to promote itself, the Ministry of Education used "Three Kingdoms" as a historical game and made a wave of publicity in schools.

This is a new attempt by Chiba Games and the Japanese Ministry of Education, and if this attempt is successful, Chiba Games will continue to produce this kind of educational game in the future.

This is not only a propaganda resource, but also a political resource. Of course, this is also not unrelated to the Chiba Group. As one of Japan's top universities, Tokyo University also has many advantages in terms of political resources.

The production cycle of "Three Kingdoms" is a relatively long game, so when this game was launched, the mother who wrote to Lin Yan almost forgot about it.

When she saw this game with an education and waist seal, she suddenly remembered that she had written a letter to Chiba Games before, and there was a long reply.

The child's father's classmate, a journalist, once had a drink, and the two of them chatted about it.

As a journalist, I have a keen sense of smell and find this to be a very good subject.

On the day of the day, this news appeared in the newspaper.

"Put on a show!" Katsukuro Yano angrily threw the newspaper in his hand at the table. At this moment, he is no longer the one who leads the game development in the video game league.

His former position has been given to the genius boy who made the Sonic series. Katsukuro Yano was disgusted with Hayashi and the young man. This is because they are younger and more gifted than him, at such a young age. did what he can't do now.

It's jealousy, and it's just jealousy. He didn't have anything else to do. After all, now he's no longer on the front lines of making games. and became a manager.

After a year, despite the video game league's color screen handhelds, there are problems of one kind or another. However, it still achieved good results in the U.S. market. Sales exceeded two million units, nearly three million. Although the sales volume of color screen handheld machines in Japan is only more than 200,000 units, its achievements in North America. Already the best console in the video game league.

The most important model of the video game league is the arcade part. However, although its income is not bad, it is still less influential than the home consoles and handheld computers that have entered thousands of households. It's basically a small circle, and in such an atmosphere, it's almost impossible to give birth to a national-level game.

After a year of training, Lin Yan seems to be more mature. Although he is still a child who is less than twenty years old and does not seem to have reached adulthood, he has handled things in a more orderly manner than before.

Of course, at this moment, he. I graduated from high school and was admitted to the University of Tokyo with an excellent deviation value. Though. As a university, the atmosphere of the University of Tokyo is more dignified. Not as lively as some other universities. Relatively speaking, though. It is also the best university in all of Japan.

Of course, one of the more important reasons is to be able to communicate better with Yuki Chiba. As the actual two helmsmen of the Chiba game, even if it is two people in the school cafeteria, a very casual conversation. All have the potential to affect the future of Chiba games. And then affect the course of video games in the whole world.

However, there are some exceptions. In the United States, for example, there are a number of PC-based game publishers. For example, it holds the copyright of sports games, so as to make the electronic arts industry bigger. As well as a game company that is famous for Western games such as Dungeons and Dragons.

It's not that Chiba Games didn't mean to include these people in the Chiba Game Empire, but these young Americans who made games. Adhering to the spirit of freedom like a hacker.,Refuse to join the seemingly strict rules of the Chiba game system.。

Chiba Games' game review mechanism, as a relatively mature system, is impossible to open a special channel for these Americans.

So, the matter is deadlocked.

Of course, the Video Game Alliance, as a very "weak" game company, is naturally very pleased to see these Americans oppose Chiba Games, after all, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Therefore, they appropriately put the audit preparation that they learned from Chiba Games and relaxed it a little. And, in collaboration with Electronic Arts in the United States, a series of sports games have been launched.

As a result, the home console of the video game league has also opened up a certain share in the American market. Of course, these shares are still a lot worse than Chiba Games' "Chiba Entertainment System", that is, the red and white machine, but it has also achieved the second.

Atari, which was originally dominant in the United States, has now fallen to third place, with a negligible market share. Less than one percent.

"Hey! Are you listening to me? Chiba Yuki sat opposite Lin Yan with a sad face, and in front of her was a curry rice, and she didn't move a few bites at all.

In fact, now that Chiba Games has achieved such a scale, there is no need to worry at all. However, sometimes people are so strange, when they have nothing, they are a complete optimist, and once they have thousands of family fortunes, they become both gains and losses.

"Listen, we need a game right now. A game that is enough to excite the ears of the majority of players, not the game that is being launched now, aimed at every small circle. Lin Yan said after taking a bite of food.

Compared to Chiba Yuki, he is optimistic. For he regarded all that he had done now as a gift from heaven. There is no baggage in his thoughts, and he is completely relaxed, so of course, he does not have any pressure.

"Well, that's what you're talking about. We don't have a game that resonates with a lot right now. A single game is not enough to ignite the enthusiasm of the majority of players today. After all, video games have been around for more than two years now, and although there are quite a few ways to play them, most people are tired of them.

And, not only the "Pokemon" series, which has been very popular for more than a year, but also the Three Kingdoms in cooperation with the Ministry of Education. Although it is indeed fun, there are too many words. As far as I know, quite a few people have reading irritability. Seeing so much text, I don't want to play this game. ”

Chiba Yuki didn't know that it was the black one who was close to the ink. Or whatever, now she has almost become a chatterbox. Moreover, the way of speaking is similar to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, it was impossible for him not to nod, because, many of the words that Chiba Yuki said were also the result of Lin Yan's indoctrination.

Lin Yan has a game in his mind, simple enough and popular enough.

But. Now that's the more problematic. Lin Yan doesn't know if this game has been created by someone now, if he rashly takes out this game and treats it as his own original game, it is likely to cause some embarrassing things.

However, now that the game can detonate video games, Lin Yan thinks about it, and there is only this one.

Lin Yan thought about it, but decided to talk to Yuki Chiba.

"Chiba-senpai." Lin Yan shouted.

"Huh?" Chiba Yuki's eyes were a little confused. The focus was restored, and the focus fell on Lin Yan's face.

"I know a game that solves the problem right now. However, there is one thing that is more difficult. It's just that it is more difficult to get the copyright of this game. ”

"What's so difficult?" Yuki Chiba's expression also began to get serious.

After all, Lin Yan rarely had serious moments. And often when his expression is serious, he says important topics.

"How do you say that? is a graphic match-matching game, somewhat similar to Doctor Mary, which we launched a few years ago. However, he was still a little more interesting than Dr. Mary.

However, as far as I know, the copyright owner of this puzzle game is a national laboratory of the Soviet Union, and a researcher under this national laboratory. ”

"It's a little difficult." Chiba Yuki said.

Don't look at the red and white machines of Chiba games, they are very popular all over the world, and it seems that the world is very peaceful. However, it is still under the bipolar pattern system of the LENG war.

It is also more difficult to go to the USSR to talk about something.

However, difficulties are difficulties, and they are not impossible. Because, after the peace-peace-evolution-change, the Soviet Union has become not so red.

Senior leaders are seriously corroded, and as long as they can come up with enough money, it is not impossible to get this authorization agreement.

"Well, that's not just the hard part. Another difficult place is that the copyright of this game prototype has two owners. One is a laboratory and the other is a researcher. If the authorization we get is only one of them, then it is very likely that our competitors will get another copyright and fight with us.

As you know, lawsuits are annoying. No matter who wins the game, it is a time-consuming and laborious task. ”

Chiba Yuki nodded, it is a very annoying thing to have a lawsuit in the United States. Otherwise, lawyers in the United States would not be members of high society.

"Then I'll send someone to talk." Chiba Yuki said.

Lin Yan took a fork and dipped it in the cup containing orange juice, drawing one strange square after another.

"That's what that game is all about. The difficulties encountered may not only be money, but also ideological problems. You should also pay attention to this, senior sister. By the way, for the researcher, we can promise him that the game will be called Tetris.

After all, what we need is to make this game popular, to make money, and we don't care too much about the name. Perhaps, the researcher did not value money, but just such a name. ”

Lin Yan said.

Although Yuki Chiba doesn't make games, she can be regarded as a person who knows a lot about games. Lin Yan explained the rules of this game a little, and she knew that this game with simple rules had a charm that was difficult to explain.

"Then can you start the game and start working on it. The matter of copyright goes hand in hand with the production of the game. Chiba Yuki said.

"Okay." Lin Yan nodded. "Tetris" is not particularly significant for the red and white machine, but it is a big killer for the "game boy" who does not have a significant sales advantage compared to the color screen handheld console of the video game league.

This game has almost achieved the realm of returning to the basics. Just like a game like "Space Invaders", you don't need to explain the rules, just take a look and touch it a little to know how to play.

What's more, Tetris is a breakthrough for game modes. There may be people who don't see this.

The reason why it has an appeal that is unmatched by other games is because of this game, which allows the player to fight against themselves. Each block is placed by the player himself. It wasn't put on it mechanically by a computer.

In response to such a sentence, it is to create difficulties by oneself and overcome them without difficulties. Even, this game can also exercise the player's thinking ability, and maybe even get the waist seal of the Ministry of Education. With the endorsement of the Ministry of Education, Tetris is much more persuasive to Japanese players.

Of course, this is of little practical use. At most, it is to add an aura, and the most important thing is the quality of the game itself.

Lin Yan finished eating all the meals, stretched his waist, and said to Chiba Yuxi, "Senior Sister Chiba, you don't have to worry so much, what's there to worry about." I can't guarantee that Chiba Games will always be around and will always be number one in the video game industry. After all, in this world, even the universe and the sun have their own lifespan. What do you do when you gain or lose? People have good fortune and misfortune, and flowers are not red for a hundred days, is such a truth. ”

Chiba Yuki looked at Lin Yan, who was talking eloquently, and smiled shallowly, she said, "It's not this thing that bothers me, even if there is no Chiba Game, I still have the Chiba Group." By the way, Lin Yan, if it were possible, would you choose to join the family? ”

"Huh? What the? Lin Yan said with a look of astonishment, "What's the trouble?" ”

Chiba Yuki looked at Lin Yan, who was a little cute, and his light smile turned into a big laugh, and he laughed very happily.

"It's fine." She said.

"It's okay." Lin Yan said.

Lin Yan is not a stupid person, she has already understood what Yuki Chiba is talking about. However, this is not the life that Lin Yan expects.

into the redundant or something. Even if he could have a property comparable to the wealth of a small country, he didn't want to do that.

Perhaps, this is a bit machismo? Want to be criticized?

Lin Yan thought about it, and then laughed as Chiba Yuki laughed.

He couldn't tell how he felt about Yuki Chiba, and how he felt about Mayu by the river.

He smiled and said with a sudden sigh.

"Senior sister, you are in a hurry, there will always be a way."

"yes, there's always a way." Chiba Yuki sighed quietly. (To be continued......)
