Chapter 298: Warcraft is on the agenda

Because of the participation of the Shanghai Municipal Government, Zhu Shuguang arrived at the scene, but he left ahead of schedule before the meeting ended, followed by Yang Yun.

"Xiao Yang, I just said a few months ago that your thunder is light and the rain is small, but look at you, this time the movement is too big!" Zhu Shuguang said half-jokingly.

Yang Yun was a little nervous: "Mayor Zhu, will there be any opinions from above?" ”

Zhu Shuguang hahadaxiao: "How can you have no opinion?" The excessive promotion of aiqing stories in games is not conducive to the physical and mental health of children and teenagers, games affect students' learning time, and games are demoralized. But when did you Longteng ever care? ”

Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, what am I afraid of!" We Longteng are making games, and they have brought tangible benefits to the country, is it because others say a few words, we will close our doors and shut down? The cultural publishing industry has also been criticized as a big poisonous weed! Our dragon Teng came from the shadow of the sword and sword! ”

Zhu Shuguang nodded and said meaningfully: "It's right that you can think so, now it is impossible for China to return to the era of dictatorship in the past, so you only need to be consistent with the high-level arguments, and do more practical things, and it is best to do things in a low-key manner, there will definitely be someone to support you." ”

The hint made Yang Yun come to his senses, and he said with a straight face: "Mayor Zhu's reminder, I know what to do." ”

After returning to the capital, Yang Yun held an internal meeting and took the initiative to stop all the propaganda methods of the fairy sword, and now it is almost the beginning of the school season, and it is better to deal with it coldly during this time.

But the public reacted to this piece. Long Teng can't control it, but those media circles must have been instructed by the higher-ups. Converged a lot.

But who cares? Long Teng has already made a lot of money, and they have erected the golden signboard of the fairy sword. No matter how much some people suppress it, there are still millions of gamers who spread the word, continue to accumulate word-of-mouth, and continue to sell well.

In the conference room of Longteng headquarters, Yang Yun found a large cardboard box in front of Fang Huimin, and asked curiously, "What are these?" ”

Fang Huimin replied: "We haven't opened any of the personal letters written to you by readers, and we will send them to the office for you later?" ”

Yang Yun hurriedly waved his hand: "It's still bothering you to help take it apart and read it, and select a few meaningful readers." I'll write a reply myself, and I'll forget the rest, I'm too busy. ”

After Zhao Yongping, Zhang Guoqiang and others arrived, Yang Yun said solemnly: "The matter of the fairy sword will be handed over to you to finish, and the second version will be released at least two years later, and a special version will be launched in the middle depending on the situation, that is, two with hidden endings." In addition, the maniac studio was reserved for me, and no one was allowed to resign. If they feel that they have no passion, then give them the adaptation of Jin Yong's novel. ”

Zhang Guoqiang should come down, and he is now in charge of the Jishu work of the Taipei R&D center, and his prestige is quite high now.

Next, Zhao Yongping reported on the development of Longteng Games.

There are no new game projects in the handheld department for the time being. I've been working on these follow-up versions of Pokemon and Sonic, and it's worth mentioning that Pokemon: North America Edition has started to be designed, and Ash will travel in North America. Adventure and keep fighting to become the strongest trainer.

The arcade department is in the process of sprinting for zuihou. "Metal Slug", "Samurai Shodown". The four games of "War of the Three Kingdoms" and "Miracle Three-in-One" have been carried out more than 80%, and it seems that they can catch up with the World Gar Carnival.

Video game consoles are booming, and even without Yang Yun's guidance, Longteng's own programmers have come up with two great ideas, not to mention the growing number of other game makers on the SS platform.

Incidentally, Sumitomo Investments Group's Kobayashi Mustang left Sega, and his 20% stake was only cashed out for $300 million, which was the same as the market price at which Yang Yun bought 51% of Sega's shares, so that Yang Yun controlled 71% of Sega's share.

Kobayashi Mustang officially retired, and before leaving, he thanked Yang Yun for everything he had done for Sega, and Yang Yun also expressed his admiration for the old man, and everyone broke up amicably, which was very pleasant.

The card game Dragon Teng has no achievements, but from time to time release some expansion packs, release Pokemon cards and other old-fashioned behaviors, recently heard that the United States has launched a Magic card is very popular, Yang Yun can only smile bitterly, of course he knows this set of cards, but unfortunately it is too complicated, he doesn't know deeply, there is no way to make it first.

zuihou wants to talk about PC games, Longteng's independent studios have Distinctive, Bullfrog, and there are three R&D centers involved in PC game production, Longteng France Branch, Beijing Headquarters, and Japanese Longteng Pharaoh Control.

The games that can be used include the "God is Crazy" series, the DOS version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the DOS version of "Dragon and Three Kingdoms", and several ordinary racing games.

Yang Yun said: "I haven't been involved in the game on the PC side, mainly because the PC configuration is too poor, the DOS operating system is too disgusting, the available memory is 640K, the operating system itself occupies 120K, and the memory allocated to our game is too small, so I haven't designed a masterpiece on the PC." ”

Zhang Guoqiang's eyes lit up: "You mean you can do it now?" ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "I still can't do it now, if the PC doesn't develop to a certain extent, any masterpiece is meaningless." The PC is different from our SS, there are too many things needed in all aspects, and it is not something I can control at all. ”

This is the big truth, Yang Yun's most advanced jishu in his hand now is ATI's graphics card jishu, which can limit the development of the PC is not only the graphics card, but actually more CPU.

Although there was already an Intel Pentium 586 CPU in 1993, it had not been launched on the market for half a year, and the price was outrageously high, and it was impossible to popularize it to the world in a short time.

Inoue Yanxiong also has a certain understanding of this, and said thoughtfully: "The most profitable thing in the market is not the first-class jishu, but the second-generation product is the most stable." ”

Yang Yun laughed: "What Lao Jing said makes sense!" Do you have any great ideas? ”

Inoue Yanxiong smiled slightly: "Mr. Yang is sure that Zhizhu is in his hands!" ”

"Hahahaha......" The conference room laughed, and it was rare to see this Japanese person say an idiom that was difficult to say even Chinese without hiccup.

Yang Yun said: "Okay! Since they have praised me for holding the wisdom beads, I will not sell them. After the fairy sword is finished, the name of the game I want to make is called Warcraft. This game is different from any of our previous Dragon games, and I asked for it to be developed on both SS and PC platforms! ”

Warcraft? What type of game is this? What is Warcraft? Is it the same thing as classical Xianxia?

No one had ever heard of this name, only Liu Cixing had a smile on his face, and he was the only one who knew Yang Yun's true purpose.

Yang Yun introduced: "For a long time, we have been making games on a single platform, such as the sand dunes of the SS platform, I think you should have all discovered that the game of sand dunes should be more popular on the PC side, because the operation of the mouse and keyboard will be more convenient." ”

Everyone nodded, and Zhang Guoqiang said: "It's just that most of the PC hardware is too poor to run the Dune game at all." ”

"That's right!" Yang Yun sighed: "The price of a PC is ten times that of our SS, and it is definitely not as popular as ours, so when I designed Dune, I didn't consider the PC. ”

"Warcraft" is the same, Yang Yun didn't think about making it on PC at the beginning, no matter what, he had to wait for Windows95 to come out and replace the unlucky DOS system, so he saw the hope of real-time strategy games.

But if you don't do Warcraft now, Yang Yun is likely to lose it forever, because Blizzard has been developing Warcraft since 1993, and in 1994 they launched the first version of Warcraft: Orcs &Humans, and it is a game under the DOS operating system, which makes Yang Yun very embarrassed.

Let's do it, it's still DOS, and what is made can be imagined, it must be miserable.

Don't do it, after being led by Blizzard, what will he do with copyright issues in the future? Do you want to go down the old path of acquisitions again?

Yang Yun said: "But I have to prepare for "Warcraft", one is the PC side, the other is the SS side, and it will be developed at the same time. In Europe and the United States, fantasy games are very popular, and there are many studios that are making games of this type. Next, please Liu Cixing to introduce it to you! ”

Everyone looked at Liu Cixing, all along, the leader of this editorial department seems to be on the edge of the core leadership of Longteng, even if it is a science fiction game like "Saloman Snake: Dune 1993", it is only to provide a map, and the background of shijie's view, even the weapon illustrated book is not made by the editorial department, it is still the weapon authorization obtained by 1C Company from the Russian and Ukrainian arsenals.

Liu Cixing was a little excited, and he was silent for two or three years, and finally it was time for him to break out!

"Fantasy and magic games in Europe and the United States are basically similar to the shijie concept of "The Lord of the Rings", which is recognized as the originator of modern fantasy literature, and most of them are RPG games based on DND rules!"

Liu Cixing talked eloquently: "Two years ago, Mr. Yang asked me to study "The Lord of the Rings", which is very popular in Europe and the United States, but unfortunately we can't find any information in China, so we can only find a way to find the original version from Europe to read. In the first half of this year, Mr. Yang said to me that I want to make a monster shijie with a race in the Lord of the Rings, but it is also a new Shijie view. (To be continued......)
