Chapter 13: Duoming
Today is not a good day for a small factory that produces pirated arcade machines. Just when their first batch of arcade machines were produced and sold, and after seeing the profits, a lot of money had been poured into it, and they planned to expand their production capacity, Dongli and Persimmon upgraded their arcade machines overnight.
The upgrade is simple, with a slight change to make Space Invaders a two-player play.
The gameplay of the game also adds elements of everyone to the simple human-computer communication. Small settings such as when the ships overlap, the attack will freeze. Not only can it make the game more interesting, but it also allows players to contribute more small coins while "pitting each other".
Of course, if someone is unhappy, someone will be happy. Dongli and Persimmon Family's free upgrade of video game arcades not only reassured the merchants who purchased the genuine arcade machines, but also made those players who played the genuine arcade machines cheer.
They also felt the "sincerity" of the game manufacturer, whether it is really "sincerity" or not, if it is really "sincerity", it is not the first time that it should be developed, and these should be brought to players.
However, in any case, the behavior of the persimmon family and Dongli has also given stakeholders enough confidence.
Lin Yan saw a set of silver shiny arcade machines with more operation buttons, and thought a little wickedly, now those pirate dealers, and those merchants who have purchased pirated arcade machines. For example, what kind of expression would Boss Yamazaki have?
Perhaps, probably, some of them don't know what the difference is. Lin Yan was full of sunny smiles, this was just the beginning of the pain, and the lawyer team was already on the way.
Lin Yan had also handed over all the evidence he had collected to Baishi for them to deal with.
On the day of collecting evidence, Lin Yan and Sakata Yuki did a lot of things together, but fortunately, in the end, there was no danger and a few photos were taken as evidence.
The final tweaks to the Game of Destiny expansion pack are also over, and Yuki Chiba has already delivered it to the factory. Mass-produced finished products. It will come out in a few days. In the past few days, the thing that has happened to Yuki Chiba is to deal with various merchants and persuade them to put "Game of Destiny" on the counter and put it in a more conspicuous position.
One centered on East High. The storm of "Game of Destiny" radiating around is already brewing. According to Yuki Chiba, there are already several bookstores that have asked for hundreds of copies of Game of Destiny.
"Here's the program for the new game, over to you." Lin Yan handed a paper document to Chang Ze. Originally, he wanted to make it a little more high-tech. Write the game program to disk and give it to them.
However, in this day and age, not to mention the expensive thing of disk, it is not easy to use. Therefore, Lin Yan finally chose to use paper documents.
The two new games are Pac-Man and Tank Wars. The reason why Lin Yan chose these two games is because of the limitation of function.
These two games are games that can show the gameplay relatively completely under the current level of electronic technology.
For Lin Yan. The games he makes have one of the most basic guidelines. It's not complicated and it's easy to learn.
Try to reduce the difficulty of the game as much as possible, so that more people can access the game and people can easily get started and like the game.
But the game can't always be so simple, easy to play is just a premise, if it is really that simple, it also loses the fun of the challenge.
Ease of use is the premise, and the follow-up to this premise is difficult to master. There are always some people who can do what ordinary people can't. Challenge the limit and become a dazzling existence that stands out among hundreds of millions of people.
"yes, got it." Ishida put down the transatlantic phone. The look lived up to the ease of these days, replaced by a solemn expression.
"Uncle Matsuo, the situation is not good." Ishida said with this expression on his face as he walked away from Matsuo. Imitation of Dongli's shopping mall activities has been very successful in Taiwan. The inventory has solved a lot, and the warehouse has almost burst into a big crisis. It has also been successfully eliminated invisibly.
"What's wrong? Isn't everything going well, you look at the food and drink, isn't it good? "Uncle Matsuo has eaten enough watermelons these days, and he now likes a new fruit, which is lemons.
He eats lemons, not soaking lemon slices in water, drinking lemonade like loli soup. Instead, eat Lori directly. Oh no, it's just lemon.
Maybe Uncle Matsuo, this uncle who is nearly fifty years old, misses the taste of first love very much.
After biting a large mouthful of lime that was so sour that it could pour his teeth, Uncle Matsuo said with a drop of suspicious liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Ishida also wants to enjoy life like Uncle Matsuo, but these days are busy. He also liked the joy of watching his efforts turn into visible results little by little, constantly taking root, sprouting, and thriving in his busyness. People who have not worked hard and experienced it are really difficult to understand.
Among this kind of people who don't have experience, there is probably Lin Yan.
"They've retrofitted the existing arcade machine to be two-player playable. Our side ......" Ishida, a person who has worked hard to plagiarize other people's achievements, looks at the arcade games that are thriving in Taiwan, and he actually has feelings that he does not want to be surpassed.
Even if his imaginary enemy is in Japan, thousands of kilometers away, he is busy devouring the Japanese local market, and he has no time to take care of the overseas Dongli, Persimmon family, and Hayashi Yan.
I don't know if this is unfounded or mediocre. In short, the deep sense of worry made his brow tighten, and the fruit he managed was not so sweet.
"Oh, two is two...... Isn't the sales of our side still very good, just waiting for the second batch of boards sent by the boss. I haven't been to Taiwan for a few years, but I didn't expect them to change so quickly here, if you only consider the cost factor. Perhaps, our boss can make arcade production completely Taiwanese. ”
Matsuo put down the lemon, stretched out two fingers, and cracked his teeth, a special pain that led to his nerves with each pull. It seems that you can't eat more lemons.
Uncle Matsuo picked up the lime again, took a hard bite and thought.
"Aren't you worried at all?" Ishida said a little anxiously. Unconsciously, he already felt that Uncle Matsuo's expression of being content with the status quo was particularly dazzling.
Uncle Matsuo took a sip of water and said, "What's there to worry about, don't forget, we're just a small factory, and the things we make are just pirated." Why don't you ask your senior, is there a complete arcade two-player transformation plan? (To be continued.) )
