430. What?! The new handheld of the future?! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
After combing through all the games of the whole group, Qing Zhiyuan's brain can be regarded as having a relatively clear understanding.
After the meeting, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening.
When he returned home at night, he also played with the two little babies for a while, and Qing Aiyue fell asleep on Qing Zhiyuan's shoulder.
He gently lowered Aizuki to the bed, and then lay down next to him.
Seeing Aiyue's cute appearance, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, he gently picked up his daughter's little feet and kissed them silently.
Who knows what kind of nightmare Aiyue seems to have had at this time, kicking her foot violently, Qing Zhiyuan let out a muffled snort, and then stood up with her nose covered.
I touched it and found that there was already a nosebleed.
At this moment, Nao Tsuda, who had already put Qingmuhe to sleep, walked in with the child in her arms.
Nao Tsuda couldn't help but laugh when she saw his appearance.
……
After about a week, Aojiwon called Mika Ishino and Jun Asaeda into the office, and then put a plan in front of the two.
New game production.
Sure enough, the president is so bad, he just finished developing "My Future Girlfriend", and a new game will be arranged right away, and he won't give people time to breathe at all.
But the problem is that we still have a sequel to 86 in development.
Although Qing Zhiyuan was scolded in his heart, Mika Ishino and Jun Ma Zhi still honestly took over the project and looked at it.
I saw that it read:
《AIR》
Well?
The name seems familiar.
Ma Zhi thought to himself, isn't this the name I used for my future girlfriend before?
On the cover, not only the name AIR, but also the picture of two girls with wings on their backs hugging each other.
The president also thoughtfully drew line drawings of the characters and scenes during the project, and added some gouache to color, which looked very beautiful.
The game only has an outline and setting, and the number of words is not much, about 30,000, and it took about half an hour.
"AIR" was an eighteen-level galgame game developed by the key society, and the script author was Jun Asaeda himself.
This work mainly tells the story of a winged man that spans thousands of years, with summer as the main tone, revealing the human desire for freedom and love, but also showing the power of friendship and maternal love.
The story is divided into two main parts: a modern story and a legend from 1,000 years ago.
In the modern part, the male protagonist Kunisaki Kito is a traveler who makes a living from a puppet show who meets the heroine Kamio Kansuzu in a seaside town and stays at her house temporarily.
Together, they search for dolls lost during their journeys, and a strong friendship begins.
However, Guan Ling gradually lost her memory due to the curse, and her body became weaker and weaker.
Despite the efforts of some people to recover the memories of Kansu, it was all in vain, and in the end, Kansuzu inevitably came to the end of his life.
And in the legend of 1,000 years ago, there was a descendant of the Tsubasato who was under house arrest, Kanna, who escaped from the temple with her samurai Yanagiya and her maid Riha, and embarked on a journey to find her mother.
However, their journey did not go well, and the mother who was on reserve sacrificed herself to protect them.
In order to protect Yanagiya and Riha, he deliberately attracted the attention of the enemy and ended up sacrificing himself.
Their descendants are cursed to be able to fly only in the air, not walk on the ground......
In short, the whole story is full of sad and touching elements, echoing each other through modern and millennium old legends, forming a complete and meaningful story circle.
AIR is loved by players and audiences for its unique perspective and exquisite story structure.
It is also this work that made Jun Asaeda.,It's a very important milestone in his career.,It can even be said that without AIR, there would be no Jun Asaeda.,There would be no later CL,AB and other excellent game animation works.。
Only this time, it was Qing Zhiyuan who put it in Ma Zhizhun through the [Inheritance of Time and Space].
The two exchanged glances, and Mika Ishino frowned a little apprehensively,
"President, I'm afraid of being beaten."
Qing Zhiyuan's brows furrowed fiercely,
"Don't be afraid, it's not the first time we've done this type of game."
The implication is, you've already been sent so many blades anyway, do you care about that?
"We at Pokeni have always insisted on bringing the purest faith to players, so that they can feel unforgettable love in the story, this is the purpose of our game, isn't it?"
Mika Ishino looked up at Qing Zhiyuan in surprise.
President, would you like to hear what you're talking about?
Innocence is innocent, unforgettable and unforgettable, but the problem is that players will send us blades!
"But this story is too sadistic, isn't it?" Ma Zhi Jun said hesitantly.
"Huh?"
Qing Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at him strangely.
Mika Ishino said that, forget it.
But do you want to hear what you're saying?
You're a tearjerker,
This is your own work, if you don't do it, who else will do it?
In short, after more than half an hour of explanation, Mika Ishino and Jun Aeda finally understood the meaning of this work (succumbing to the president's obscenity), and at the same time said that they would work hard to make it a good one.
……
After sending the two people away, Qing Zhiyuan continued to write the name of the next game on the computer:
Violet Evergarden
This game,To be precise, it can't be called a game.,It's based on a very famous animation from Kyoto Animation in the previous life.,That's what it's called.。
In the anime, the main character, Violet Evegarden, is a soldier who has retired from the battlefield and comes to the port city to work as a "ghostwriter".
She confronts the client and touches the frank feelings in the client's heart.
In the animation, through the alternation of letters, the emotions and bonds between people are revealed, and the power of words is also shown.
Many of the short stories interspersed are very touching, warm and healing.
However, Qing Zhiyuan thought carefully for a long time, and did not plan to make it into a galgame, but planned to make "Violet Evergarden" as a bugger and turn it into a slow game:
Accept the delegate and start your journey.
Completing quests, moving around the city, and helping others convey their hearts and minds to show the power of words is the core of the game.
The insect master, the Violet Evergarden, will create a special type of game for Pokeni, in today's impetuous world, may become a spiritual haven for future young people, no, not only young people, but all those who live in the world who are overwhelmed by the pressure.
In Qing Zhiyuan's view, pure catharsis and obtaining short-term dopamine in the game is actually a bad cycle, which is equivalent to overdrawing happiness and making the threshold for obtaining dopamine higher next time.
But slow games are different, it allows players to find real mental power in the game, which has a nourishing effect.
The world needs both a short-term dopamine game that stimulates pleasure and a slow game that allows people to calm down and enjoy life and feel it.
This is the vision of Qing Zhiyuan.
Slow variety shows will become popular, in fact, it is also a similar reason.
Qingzhiyuan's idea is very simple, that is, to treat Pokeni as a game empire, a game ecology to do, every game type must be there, and then continue to extend it and spread it to every corner.
No matter what different life experiences and growth trajectories players have, they can always find a game they like in the P club.
When the entire ecosystem is established, players will become more and more dependent on Pokeni.
Of course, some illegal and negative games, Qing Zhiyuan will definitely not do, games are also an important cultural carrier, and you have to output something with positive value.
……
After the work on the new game was arranged, Satoshi Iwata knocked on the door of Seozhiyuan's office in the afternoon.
"Please come in."
Qing Zhiyuan glanced up and found that it was Satoshi Iwata, and couldn't help but smile.
This time, Satoshi Iwata brought a new strategic plan.
Satoshi Iwata wrote a lot of market analysis and future development intentions, and then focused on the handheld circle.
"President, I think it's necessary to develop the next generation of handheld computers."
To this end, Satoshi Iwata has prepared a project of more than 100 pages, which details the changes that should be made in the future Sega handheld:
It includes a dual-screen display, with the lower screen being a touch screen;
It is equipped with a microphone, sound input device and Wi-Fi network function.
It is equivalent to making a handheld computer, which players can control through the touch screen, and of course, can also play the game by pressing buttons.
Touchscreen technology has been around for a long time, and it's not surprising that Satoshi Iwata came up with it.
Qing Zhiyuan only listened to his explanation, and he didn't even need to look through the content of the plan book to imagine what this new game handheld looked like.
Live out an NDS.
Qing Zhiyuan felt extremely relieved, worthy of Iwata Satoshi.
In his previous life, Rentendo was actually led by Iwata because he was a gamer himself and knew what players liked, so he was able to make better products.
Even the famous movie star Yoshizawa Ayuki can't put down Renten's NDS.
You can imagine the charm of this gaming handheld.
It beat Sony's PSP in the handheld field and became the king of sales, selling more than 100 million units.
It is precisely because of the emergence of NDS that Renten's hegemony in the field of handheld computers has been established.
Among them, Satoshi Iwata really contributed to it.
And this time, it was Sega's turn.
……
Sega GP has been on sale since 92 years, and it has been 7 years now, except for a follow-up GP expansion version, there are few changes, and a handheld can be in service for so many years, in fact, the time is almost the same.
If it weren't for the support of Pokémon, this handheld would have been eliminated a long time ago.
After reading Satoshi Iwata's proposal, he immediately agreed with his strategic plan, and the next day he took Satoshi Iwata to Sega to discuss the development plan of the new handheld.
After listening to the explanations of the two people, Hayato Nakayama and Hideki Sato, the head of the game console development department, both agreed very much.
It's also time for Sega to develop a new handheld.
At first glance, it may seem strange to have a dual-screen design, but when you think about it, this mode of operation is actually quite interesting, and you can handle the handheld as a small computer.
After hearing this, Hideki Sato's brows furrowed involuntarily.
How many problems do we have to give us in this kind of game console development?
The current touch screen technology is not very mature, and the new handheld design proposed by Satoshi Iwata is a pressure-sensitive screen rather than a multi-touch capacitive screen commonly used in future smartphones.
From the player's point of view, when operating the touch screen, it will naturally block part of the line of sight, so Satoshi Iwata made a dual screen, one to touch, the other to display.
The screen size must be increased, so power consumption has also become an important research topic.
With the blessing of wifi, whether it is Sega DC or the new handheld that Sega is about to develop, it will be able to connect to the Internet in the future, which is equivalent to opening up all the joint channels for the upcoming game platform of pokeni.
On the other hand, after the game platform is launched, it can also connect these basic platforms with each other through its own strength, rather than making them isolated individuals.
These are the big strategies and big ecology that Qing Zhiyuan said.
Moreover, Qingzhiyuan hopes that the new handheld can support 3D games, using more advanced 3D game chips, so that you can play high-quality games on the handheld in the future, for example, Monster Hunter is put on the handheld, Pokémon 3D is put on the handheld, and you can play online with friends, you can get happiness anytime and anywhere, this convenient feeling is irreplaceable by the host and computer that need to be connected to the TV.
All in all, the new handheld is somewhat similar to the smartphone of the future, except that it can't make phone calls.
From this point of view, Iwata's concept is actually quite advanced, that is, in his previous life, his NDS design was already ahead of Apple's smartphones.
"But where do we get the money to develop a new handheld?" Hayakuo Nakayama said he had a headache.
"Don't worry about the money, you just have to do it, and I'll figure it out when the time comes."
Although Pokeni is not particularly wealthy now, he still has a little bit of a family background.
After selling the RTT of the United States last year, the company recorded more than 300 million US dollars, plus the sale of DC game consoles, maybe the profits of game consoles are very thin, but they are not sold at a loss, and there are two Pokémon with sales of more than 10 million, plus "My Future Girlfriend" released in the recent period......
Qingzhiyuan checked the company's financial data, and the disposable funds on the books were probably close to 500 million US dollars.
Supporting the development of a new handheld is not a big problem, and there is some spare money for him to do other things.
Since Qing Zhiyuan said so, Hayakuo Nakayama also relaxed a little.
Qing Zhiyuan has always felt very stable so far, and he must have been prepared for a long time.
After a long discussion with the Sega people, it took more than a day to deal with most of the problems, and the rest were all small things.
"One last question." Hideki Sato raised his right hand.
All eyes were on him.
"So what's the name of this console?"
Qing Zhiyuan and Iwata Satoshi glanced at each other, and they both laughed.
"It's called the Sega Dual Screen, SDS for short."
……
Of course, it is definitely not enough to have a new handheld, and the new handheld must also have a corresponding supporting game for the release.
Now Pokeni is working on the process of digitizing all the company's games-
In the future, these games will be available for download through gaming platforms.
In addition to pokeni that wants to be put on the handheld, Qingzhiyuan also put forward new requirements for Sega, hoping that they can develop more classic IP new games for handheld exclusivity.
For example: Sonic the Hedgehog's 3D adventure.
Sonic is actually a good big IP, and if you cultivate it more, it can play a great role at critical moments, enrich it more, make a family game, and become an important New Year's money harvester in Pokémon's absence.
Just like this year.
However, it needs to enrich the relevant protagonists and make more of them, and it will take a lot of time to derive different Sonic games like Pokémon.
After arranging the main work in the future, Qing Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Pokeni is racing against time every step, and others may not know it very well, but Qing Zhiyuan's future development context is very clear.
It's hard, but it's also very rewarding.
……
At the same time, Sony headquarters.
The new president, Nobuyuki Idei, also breathed a long sigh of relief.
From the beginning of the North Mitsuni thunderstorm to Nobuyuki Idei's application for dismissal of Schulhoff, until Norio Ohga was persuaded by Idei's incorruptible tongue to finally remove Schulhoff from his position as president of North Rice......
It only lasted for more than 8 months, and Nobuyuki Idei reorganized the high-level management on the North side of the country.
With a precise scalpel and a thunderous momentum, he killed Shulhoff, and then Nobuyuki Idei slowly dug out Shulhoff's intertwined network of relationships and gradually cleared it......
In the astonished eyes of everyone, this successor, who seems to be the least talented and the least like a successor, has finally renovated the entire Sony inside and out by himself.
and suppressed all the voices of doubt.
At this point, the entire Sony company can be regarded as a re-centralized power, and it has converged into the hands of Nobuyuki Idei.
After being freed, he can finally let go of his hands and feet and do some of the things he wants.
