Chapter 314 - Main Frame and Handle Solution (2/3 for Flying Mountain Flowing Snow)

"Simulation management games...... A bit niche, right? Lin Xiaoguang felt that something was wrong.

"Enrich the game library. So far, there is no such game in Shimmer Studios. Zhong Ming said.

"That's true, but GS1 players definitely want to play a few more other games, and there's only one "Xuanjia Project", which is not enough." Lin Xiaoguang was a little worried.

Zhong Ming smiled: "It's easy to say, don't you just transplant the game of Shimmer Studio?" ”

Zhong Ming briefly told Lin Xiaoguang about his plan, and Lin Xiaoguang is indeed a smart person, and he can understand it at all.

The GS1 S and GS1 X, although they are shooting simulators, can also be used directly as a host.

Lin Xiaoguang's next task is to make a special gamepad, as well as a set of connection cables, power cords and other accessories between the device and the TV.

And Zhong Ming wants to transplant all the games of Shimmer Studios to GS1 devices, all of which can be ported!

The GS1 device is detachable, so for players who have already purchased a GS1, they can directly connect the GS1 to the TV and use it to play other Shimmer Studio games just like a normal console for an additional 500 yuan to buy a controller and a set of accessories.

Players who don't buy a GS1 device can also spend money directly to buy a GS1 console, priced at 2499 and 4199 respectively, which includes the game console, controller and corresponding accessories, such as power cords, cables to TVs, etc.

If you want to add all the gun simulators in the future, then you can buy a separate simulator set, that is, the part of the original simulator that removes the main unit.

A device can be sold in several parts, and there is a discount for buying it together, but players can also buy it separately according to their needs.

"I see what you mean, this step of the host has to be taken sooner or later anyway, but there must be a gimmick." Lin Xiaoguang said.

Of course, Zhong Ming knows the importance of consoles, and at present, the largest market for gaming hardware in the world is the console market.

But the current console market competition is too fierce, if you release a console directly, then even if there are games from Shimmer Studios, it will be difficult for this console to make any waves and gain any attention.

BUT THE GS1 EMULATOR IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, THIS DEVICE IS BENCHMARKED AGAINST THE GAME OMNI, AND IT CAN ATTRACT A LOT OF ATTENTION AND MAKE A NAME FOR ITSELF AS SOON AS IT IS RELEASED.

And after players buy this device, they will find that GS1 also has a big advantage, that is, it is removable.

GS1The host part can be directly detached,As long as you connect to the TV with a cable,You can directly transmit the picture to the TV,Seamless switching between the host and the simulator。

And the process of dismantling is also very convenient, the only problem is that the host is a little heavier.

Taking advantage of the popularity of analog equipment, taking the opportunity to release a new game and promoting a wave of GS1 consoles, it can be said that the plan is complete.

At present, the popularity of "Xuanjia Project" is rising, and it and "Resident Evil" are enough to calm the field, and after the popularity of both games has gone down in the past six months and a year, another FPS game can be developed to continue to maintain the popularity of the GS1 emulator.

During this period, you can confidently and boldly enter the field of hosting.

……

Back at Shimmer Studios, Zhong Ming arranged for Zhou Sen to take the lead in porting all the games on PC to the GS1 console.

The console originally had its own low-light game platform, but at present, only one game, "Xuanjia Project", supports the 360-degree panoramic simulator mode. Porting these games used to be effortless and could have been done before the next game was developed.

In addition, Zhong Ming will also give players a very conscientious preferential policy: Shimmer Studio games purchased on PC can also be played directly on GS1 consoles.

For example, after buying "Ink and Smoke" on PC, as long as you log in to your account on GS1, you can download it directly to play, and the relevant archive data can be shared between two devices as long as it is uploaded to the cloud server.

This gives PC gamers one more reason to buy the GS1.

Even if you don't buy a whole set of analog equipment, you have to buy at least a host, right?

Because in general, the configuration and picture effect of the host are definitely higher than those of the PC, most people's computers are at the grade level of six or seven thousand, and the configuration of the GS1 X is much higher than that of these computers.

Zhong Ming took a look at the games developed by Shimmer Studio, and so far there are: "Latent Red Path", "Working Dog Survival Manual", "Ink Cloud Smoke", "Taiwu Picture Scroll", "Zodiac Guardian", "Demons in the World", "Resident Evil", "Xuanjia Project". Among them, there are indie games, side-scrolling games, regular action games, horror games, and shooting games, and the variety can be said to be very complete.

If you bring "Dawn Era" and "Guardian of the City" from Tianji Studio, there are even more variety.

These games are all ported to consoles and can meet the needs of many players, but Zhong Ming feels that there is still a lack of a simulation strategy game.

This genre isn't particularly popular, but it's just as good when done well, and it's a great addition to the Glimmer gaming platform's game library.

Zhong Ming had a rough prototype of the game in his mind, but he hadn't figured out how to do it yet.

As soon as the design concept draft was written, Lin Xiaoguang sent a video request to Zhong Ming to determine the accessories related to the GS1 host.

The main accessory is, of course, the handle, and other things such as connecting cables, there is nothing to say.

"Mr. Zhong, the handle, I have a few good design plans in my hand, all of which are the analysis materials of some domestic manufacturers dismantling and researching foreign handles, if you are interested, I can send it to you. But then again, the design of the handle has actually been relatively solidified, after all, after so many ergonomic experts have repeatedly optimized, that is, the position of the two joysticks may be different, and other things such as shoulder buttons and cross buttons have been adapted to by players, and it is possible to overturn the car if it is unconventional. ”

"In my opinion, we're still more secure with the handle, after all, there's really nothing to change......"

Lin Xiaoguang really thinks that there is nothing to worry about about the handle, there are so many various handles on the market, and it is okay to find a handle manufacturer in China to directly cooperate with OEM production, and it is worry-free.

However, Zhong Ming shook his head directly: "No, the handle must be done seriously, this time there is no hurry to come out, give you three months." ”

"Three months?" Lin Xiaoguang was stunned, "No, we don't engage in research and development, three months is too wasteful." ”

"It's true that we don't engage in technology research and development, but product design still needs to be done. I'll send you a design plan and drawings later, and you can follow this. Zhong Ming said.

No room for lifting on the handle?

In Lin Xiaoguang's opinion, there is indeed not much room for improvement, but in Zhong Ming's view, even if some technical breakthroughs are not considered, just optimization at the design level, there is actually a lot that can be done!
