In November, Sega and Sony's GP handheld prototypes were completed, and a prototype was also sent to pokeni.

Qing Zhiyuan played around, and there was only one match-3 initial game on it to test the game's performance.

However, Qing Zhiyuan's experience is okay.

Seriously, the prototype is not bad, it is not a black model that inherits the Sega tradition, but a white prototype.

And the appearance is smooth and beautiful, the shape is exquisite, and it is very comfortable to touch.

This is all due to Sega's extensive experience in making consoles.

Because of the support of Sony's rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the weight of the body has been greatly reduced, from more than 500 grams to more than 250 grams now, which is a big loss.

The casing of this console is all made of plastic, so it's very lightweight.

The two hands are held together, and the sense of operation is just right.

Although the color screen is not so advanced, the screen is a little blurry and dim in a bright environment, but the effect is quite good.

After playing match-3 for a while, Qing Zhiyuan has a lot of confidence in this new handheld.

In addition, SEGA sent the encoding format by e-mail.

In other words, now Pokeni can already develop games according to the needs of the new handheld.

Now that the work of the Dark Project Team is complete, it is natural to shift the focus to Pokémon.

So Qingzhiyuan announced the project development content of Pokémon within the company in the afternoon.

……

Now the company has one project to develop, which is Pokémon.

In fact, during this period of time, Qing Zhiyuan has not been idle, and together with the new planner Lisa Asano, he has almost sorted out the Pokémon planning cases.

In addition to the character design in Pokémon, there are also many procedural and art requirements.

After all, before development, planning comes first, which can be regarded as a process norm in the game industry.

When I saw the requirements document, the main program, Ken Akanishi's head, was big.

"What? Does the handheld support for versus mode? ”

"There wasn't a game like this before, right?"

Program Ape said, "President, you're embarrassing me."

In fact, in addition to the online function, the rest is good to say, the essence of Pokémon game combat is turn-based, and the company has a lot of experience in this area.

The game flow is not too complicated, or because [all Pokémon can be caught] [all Pokémon can become enemies], it saves a lot of program workload in monster resources.

Because in the past, when developing the game and making enemies, it was equivalent to having to write a set of logic and combat modes tailored to them.

This time, all Pokémon are using the [Standard Person Template], and it is relatively easier to make differentiation on this basis.

It's equivalent to the programs completing a job, and the rest is left to the planners to configure.

But the most exciting thing is this online battle and exchange function.

I've never studied this before.

"This function is actually not difficult," Qing Zhiyuan lightly took out the manual given by Sega, turned the page of the infrared transmission function, and explained, "You see, this clearly explains the frequency band of the infrared signal, how the information packet is packaged, and if it is transmitted and received."

In fact, just follow the rules inside.

Nothing difficult. ”

The difference in the carrier is that the electronic signal was transmitted in fixed hardware before, and now it becomes infrared waves, but the essence is the same, it is all by packaging the information into transmittable infrared waves, and then receiving it on the machine and transcoding it.

The amount of information is very, very small.

In terms of coding, it is equivalent to all the Pokémon in each machine that have been packaged and installed, but only to give a signal to unlock and replace.

The transmission volume is very low, otherwise it would not be possible to operate it on the current handheld.

Qing Zhiyuan explained, and the program apes were speechless.

Akanishi gave him a blank look, President, you said it easily.

Isn't it our business then?

"Okay, let's study it."

……

Except for Pokémon.

There is also a galgame that is under development and is about to enter the finishing work, which is a project of Xuyuan Xuan, called "The Man of Reverse Degree"

A game to be put on the shelves, Diablo, is currently the focus of the company's money-making.

The entire month of November is Diablo's release period.

I didn't have much money for publicity and distribution before, and now I don't have any money either. (Mainly because pokeni spends more money than earns)

In terms of publicity, you can only search a little.

But fortunately, the 90s are not as scary as the future 2020, and it will cost billions of yen or something to make a casual announcement.

Neon does not exist in the present.

The big manufacturers with money advertise on TV, and those who don't have money cooperate with dealers to develop some posters as publicity.

Pokeni is one of those who don't have money.

In addition to posters at the point of sale, Pokeni also posted a number of Diablo advertisements on the billboards at the train stops.

If you want to advertise in a public place, you need to apply to the relevant authorities, and the fee is not low.

……

"Huh? New game for Pokeni? ”

On his way to work, Hiroshi Furukawa saw a poster posted on the bus billboard.

On the poster, a barbarian warrior with an axe, an archer on the left, and a mage with a staff and hood on the right.

The movements of several people are very tense.

Behind them was a huge demon with horns and a hideous face.

The color of the whole poster is dark red, revealing an eerie atmosphere.

In the middle are a few big words -

"Diablo."

I make it by ポケニ Co., Ltd.

"The poster is very well made, and it is very distinctive in terms of shape and refinement."

Merely......

If it weren't for the name [Pokeni] below, it would be difficult for Hirosawa Furukawa to associate this game with Pokeni.

After all, this company has produced works like "Onmyoji" and "Mermaid Heart" before.

Beautiful, warm and touching, these are the impressions that pokeni gives people.

Anyway, the light is bright, and the style of painting should be more inclined to the Japanese style.

But the poster in front of me is an out-and-out Omega style, rough and full of wild power.

……

"Do you want to get one?" A boy next to him muttered to himself.

Furukawa Hirosawa glanced at it, and the two didn't know each other.

I guess it's also a player of Pokeni.

Furukawa thought to himself.

But well......

No matter what others think, he's definitely going to give it a try.

……

On December 1st, "Diablo" was officially released.

……

————————————————————

The first chapter is sent first, and the rest are still working on the codeword.

In addition, the author is also busy revising the content of the previous chapters, and he is really busy.

There will definitely be at least 5 chapters updated today, so don't worry.
