Chapter 309: BrazilGames
What what Zuma? The Portuguese accent of English is really ugly, the words sound like Inca, Zuma understands, you mean Zuma!
The frog spitting beads, colorful marbles, plus the zigzag serpentine route, Egyptian-style music, and ......
Oh yes, Egyptian-style background music, isn't it Egyptian Zuma? Yang Yun was puzzled and asked, "Ancient Inca...... Zuma? β
Rawat glanced at his younger brother with some complaint, but the latter didn't care so much, and excitedly introduced: "When I traveled in Colombia and Argentina the year before last, I noticed the ruins of the ancient Inca Empire. So I came up with a great game idea! It's just that the strength of our company is limited, so we can only consider asking for help from large companies! Invest in us! Rawat is a great computer expert and I'm an experienced game planner! β
Yang Yun couldn't cry or laugh, there was a big string of Portuguese and English, he didn't understand it very well......
But BrazilGames is a bit interesting.,And next year is the U.S. shijie Cup.,The Brazilian team.,I don't know if I won the championship.,But Brazil is so strong.,The results won't be very bad!
"Take it easy...... Take it easy...... Babu, I'm sure you're a very risk-taker, but it's not so easy to do game planning, and investing in a game company isn't a pat on the head and decided, maybe we should sit down and talk about the details before making a decision, right? Yang Yun explained as slowly as he could, and persuaded the South American guy with kind words.
Rawat smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Yang, we are too impatient. I wonder if I can take up a little of Mr. Yang's precious time? β
Yang Yun thought for a while, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "After the conference." Would you like to take me to experience the most authentic and welcoming samba style? β
The two couldn't believe their ears, and Babu almost screamed. Excited: "Would you like to go to SΓ£o Paulo?" β
Yang Yun laughed and said: "If you don't go to Sao Paulo, how do you know if BrazilGames is worth investing in?" β
βYESοΌβ The brothers looked at each other. Their eyes were full of excitement that couldn't be hidden, they had really been silent for a few years, just for today's moment!
On the day of the conference, the high-profile developer caprice session was about to take place, held in the largest meeting room of the Holiday Inn, where representatives of several major game companies sat in the front row, and only four or five hundred people could sit down, and many more were standing around, or on the second floor. Or watch the synchronized video in another hall.
Steve Johnson, the host of the conference, smiled and held an envelope in his hand, standing on the podium and pretending to be surprised: "Oh! It wasn't until three minutes ago that I got the content of the Caprice, and the organizing committee really knows how to play Surprise Attack! β
Wow......
A commotion, is it a random lottery and then a test of the game developer's emergency response ability?
Steve pulled out the small note, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Sure enough, it's my favorite genre - the real-time strategy game "Saroman Snake: Dune 1993"!" β
Thunderous applause. It's not just Steve who likes it, almost 90% of the developers here love the genre.
Wyatt, the father of Warcraft at Blizzard, enjoys playing the war game outside of work, even while working on Warcraft, without the help of an artist. Directly take a screenshot of Dune 1993 and use it as your own map renderer data.
Not to mention the members of other small companies, many computer programmers play the game because of it. Only then did I suddenly open up and be very excited. Decided to enter the game development industry.
In 1993, the main task of many game production companies was to design real-time strategy games for the SS platform or 3DO, "The Conqueror". "Star Vanguard", "Shijie Wars", all kinds of games that follow the trend are swarming to take the opportunity to go on the market, or are in the process of development, many people want to make up for the shortcomings and improve their competitiveness through this debate.
"David White, head of market research at DownHill, Iwan Manley, a well-known game commentator, Nicky Robinson, a computer expert at Caltech, Terry Blair at West Wood, and Yang, CEO of Dragon Entertainment Games, are invited! Cloud! Steve greeted the five guests in an almost roaring voice, and then gave the applause to Zuihou without hesitation.
The audience cheered, screamed, whistled and applauded, this is really a good show, the world's authoritative market research agency, poisonous commentator, jishu authority, the winner Longteng, the loser Ximutou, these five representatives are really carefully selected, if you don't make a Mars hit the earth, I'm afraid you won't stop!
"Oh yes! The first time I participated in this conference, I met a disadvantage! "Yang Yun can't cry or laugh, this is a jiashi who is going to be beaten by the group!
Jiang Shaoyun hurriedly ran to the front to communicate with the staff, and soon got the consent of the organizer, and he and Yang Yun walked on stage together to act as a possible Chinese translator.
After everyone was seated, Steve began: "In 1992, a British Bullfrog Studio's "God is Crazy" came into our sight, this game creatively used the concept of real-time strategy, it was very novel, and became one of the top ten best-selling software on the PC side, and then they evolved into a long bullfrog with a tail......"
The coined word LongBullFrog made many people laugh out loud, which was talking about Longteng's acquisition of Bullfrog.
Yang Yun also laughed, obviously retained the name of Bullfrog Studio after the acquisition, but he didn't add the prefix of Longteng in front of it.
Steve squeezed his eyes at Yang Yun: "Then at the beginning of 1993, Long Teng threw the bullfrog on the planet Patis, and used the game engine of "God is Crazy" to achieve another classic "Saloman Snake: Dune 1993"!" Hi Yang! Next year is 1994, will you be launching a new version at next year's Sega Carnival? β
This question has made many people worry, especially the people on EA's side, Blizzard, who has been arguing for several months, knowing that the other party has taken a fancy to Warcraft, of course they are nervous about Longteng's jihua!
Yang Yun touched the bridge of his nose and laughed: "At the carnival, we will launch a Warhammer type game on the SS platform, so I disappointed you, there is no Dune 1994!" β
Wow......
Qi Qi's regret, but soon the people were excited again, Warhammer? That British table game? Released version of the SS platform? Dragon gave up Dune 1994 because of a new real-time strategy game in the Lord of the Rings?
Steve quickly asked the audience this question: "Is it a real-time strategy game in Lord of the Rings?" β
Yang Yun deliberately did not answer positively: "In the next ten years, real-time strategy games will be the mainstream!" β
This sentence indicates that the debate has officially begun, and David of DownHill nodded and said: "I agree with Yang's point of view, according to market research, man-machine battles have lasted for too long, which has worn out the enthusiasm of many people, and communication battles are the trend of future development." This year, the number of Internet host nodes exceeded 1 million for the first time, and the network has become one of the hottest topics in the IT industry. β
Game commentator Ivan pushed his glasses and said dissatisfiedly: "Dune 1993's biggest shortcoming is the battle mode, SS's communication protocol is actually a two-by-two docking of serial data cables, if I want to play against David, I have to move my SS with the TV to him, and then connect it to his machine, this mode is too outdated!" β
Yang Yun said embarrassedly: "Yes, we are just simply upgrading and improving the GameGear data exchange method, and because the time is too tight, we can't achieve perfect LAN interconnection." β
"You can easily set up a LAN and exchange data with your friends instead of moving a bulky computer," said Nick, a computer expert at the California Institute of Technology. β
Yang Yun wiped his sweat: "Yes, our Sega engineers are doing research in this area, and there are data ports reserved on the SS host, and we will develop peripherals under the common protocol as soon as possible." β
Ivan pouted: "And then let the players pay for it?" β
Dizzy! Yang Yun was embarrassed: "We provide this service, and players buy it on demand. β
Standing and talking without backache, is it free if you don't pay for it? It's not a must-have peripheral!
And weishenme has to lean SS on the computer? Don't these game commentators talk through their brains?
The positioning of the TV game console is the living room TV, and then leaning on the sofa to play comfortably, players do not have the habit of playing PC games, they have no place to put a keyboard and mouse, and it will not be comfortable to place it in front of the sofa.
And in the PC era, pressing the keyboard with the left hand and pinching the mouse with the right hand for a long time will cause wrist joint syndrome, as well as cervical spine and back problems for a long time, for the comfort of players, almost all game makers will not add a processing module for keyboard and mouse instructions in the software.
Some games can be connected to the keyboard and mouse,But the response speed of the mouse and keyboard is not synchronized with the signal of the TV,The game software needs to process the keyboard and mouse response events,And then handed over to the CPU in time for processing,The processing speed of the CPU is too slow,The TV signal processing is not timely,There will be a mouse moving clearly,And the light point on the TV jumps the cardγ
In addition to FPS shooting games that need to move quickly, home game consoles don't need keyboards and mice, and there are commercial factors in this, home game consoles don't have keyboards and mice, PCs don't need gamepads, if you want to mix and match, go to the game store to buy peripherals.
