Not long after Monster Hunter was released, sales skyrocketed to one million copies.

"Good guys, Monster Hunter's sales in a month have run to a million again."

On Ren Heaven's side, Shigeru Miyamoto was drinking water while reading the relevant news, and he was a little numb now, for Pokeni's results.

The main reason is that the game "Monster Hunter" has shown extremely strong strength since the E3 Electronics Show, and Shigeru Miyamoto was quite surprised when he was still watching it at the scene, and at first he didn't think it was something that could be made in this era.

Where is the game console so powerful that it can support the performance of the molten mountain dragon hundreds of meters high?

It turned out that he was wrong, and quite wrong.

In the on-site demonstration, you can clearly see the behemoths in the monster hunter, the monsters of more than ten meters are ordinary guys, and in addition to the molten mountain dragon that is hundreds of meters high, there is also an old mountain dragon in the first generation.

All in all, it's very shocking.

What I saw during the demonstration at that time, Shigeru Miyamoto can still dream about it at night.

Sometimes I wake up like I'm having a nightmare, shouting that it can't be true, and then I sit up all at once.

When I opened my eyes, I felt even more terrifying-

Because it really is.

A company that can do this kind of game is technically enough to crush Rentendo for several streets, and it turns out that I think how a small company like Pokeni can succeed.

Now I think Pokeni is so staked, it's really strange that it doesn't succeed.

Sometimes, when Shigeru Miyamoto studies the history of Pokeni's growth, he can't help but think:

Obviously, this company has such a strong strength.,Why did it keep hitting the streets around 90.,And after that, it made a family with a game like galgame that didn't enter the stream.。

Just like a master in the literary category who can win the Nobel Prize in Literature, he has to write some vulgar little blue essays, this is the feeling that Pokeni gives Shigeru Miyamoto.

You're obviously strong, but you want to use your talent on such a strange track.

If it was a game like Pokémon that Tomogen gave President Yamauchi back then, Shigeru Miyamoto could even vouch for them to make Pokeni's game one of the partners of Renten.

But it's too late to think about anything now, and Pokeni has been hopelessly pushed into the opposite side.

Where Shigeru Miyamoto can't figure it out, small companies can figure it out.

For example, Masato Hita, the president of the Elf Society, knows very clearly why Pokeni chose Galgame as the starting track.

The main reason is that the development of this thing is small, the cycle is short, and the rate of return is high.

It is especially suitable for small companies to produce.

Ren Heaven and Sega, both of which belong to the successful companies created by the times, their experiences are not the same as those of Yoshida Masato, and they belong to the first wave of people who have eaten the cake.

When the Elven Society was founded, the cake was basically divided.

At this time, it is quite difficult to fight your way through RPG or action game tracks.

So the choice of Yoshida Changren and Qing Zhiyuan is similar, they both started to do galgame.

Of course,Until now,The elf club is still doing galgame.,It's never been able to develop like Pokeni.。

So when he saw a game like "Monster Hunter", Masato Shigada could only sigh with admiration, and the angle of observation was different from that of Shigeru Miyamoto, but the conclusion was the same:

What a great company Pokeni is, it's enough to crush other competitors on a technical level, right?

If we also have such a procedural ape team, with such a great art, planning and music team......

All right......

Hida Masato couldn't help frowning, it doesn't seem realistic to be able to collect so many bigwigs at once, it's like playing a gacha machine, you want to draw a particularly rare gacha, and there are so many rare ones that are all drawn by you, what is the probability?!

If there really is such a team, why worry about big things?

I guess a pig can fly into the sky, right?

But......

When he thought of this, Shitian Changren's whole body trembled, and he jumped up from his chair almost like an electric shock.

"So how did Qing Zhiyuan do it?"

Why did so many top talents in the industry get rid of Qingzhiyuan in the end?

Isn't this similar to playing a capsule toy machine?

Although Masato Higata didn't think in the direction of [Traverser], he inexplicably felt a mysterious power called [Fate].

Qing Zhiyuan, this guy is too lucky, right?

Why don't I have such great employees?

……

It's no wonder that many game manufacturers are used to this.,Such a powerful game,Whether it's expressiveness or playability,,It can be said to be the world's top.,And it's also integrated into the unique ecological concept of the P Society.,From Pokémon to Bug Master.,And then to Monster Hunter.,The transition in the middle is too smooth.。

It's normal for sales to exceed one million, but it's not normal if it doesn't break one million.

Maybe it can also be used by many game manufacturers to study, why such a powerful game does not have millions of sales, and now this kind of achievement has made countless game manufacturers a little numb.

It's like a top student who can get a full score every time, you won't feel anything wrong at all, but if you get a zero score once, maybe everyone will be amazed.

The current pokeni is such a state.

As a benchmark in the industry, P has made the game to the extreme, the world's leader, and will be a big distance away from the second place.

Now the second place in the industry is neither Sony nor Renten, but EA.

However, it is clear that EA is on a different track, and they focus on sports and racing games, and it doesn't seem to be in direct competition with pokeni.

……

In fact, as far as the game "Monster Hunter" is concerned, it seems that there are no competitors in the world at the moment, so it can be said that it is unique.

There are actually a lot of unique games in Pokeni, such as the unique Pokémon: collection and battle game, the combination of pets and battles, which is unique now.

Then, "Insect Master" is also unique, the world of people and insects, with an immersive experience like watching a movie, playing a passer-by in the game, witnessing the story between the characters and insects in the game, such a big world ecological game, in fact, is also unique.

Here in Monster Hunter, hunting monsters, playing the role of a hunter in this world, and hunting with friends is also unique.

So until now, it's not for nothing that the game has become popular.

Pokeni has always been a pioneer and a navigator of the times, and it has been speeding on the waterway.

For example, when Pokeni produced "Diablo", there were actually not a few subsequent follow-up games, similar dark themes, mazes, and action games all referenced Diablo.

There have also been dark-based games such as Qin Yan and The Legend of Zhao Yun in China.

And "Onmyoji" has become a reference for the "Fairy Sword" series.

It's also very interesting to say, it's worth playing, it's clear that Qing Zhiyuan copied the fairy sword of his previous life, but he didn't expect it to provide a reference for the current fairy sword series, and pokeni has also become one of Yao Zhuangxian's favorite game companies.

It can be said that at the design level alone, Pokeni has become a game model for the whole world, creating many classic game cases, and when everyone wants to make games, they will refer to them more or less.

In the field of galgame, pokeni has developed and improved many modern galgame game settings, such as the recall system, instant save system, different endings with different dialogue options, favorability system, etc., all of which have become the classic modules of galgame.

This is also the reason why although Masato Shida has not met with Furuhara Tsubaki, he has always used Furuhara Tsubaki as his teacher.

……

The appearance of "Monster Hunter" once again pushed Pokeni to the altar.

It's just that this time it's different in that the producer who was pushed to the altar has changed one and has become Hideki Kamiya.

Everyone is a little confused when they see the name Hideki Kamiya.

"Hideki Kamiya? Who is this man? Why haven't you heard much about it before? ”

"yes? Pokeni has another genius producer?! How do you feel that the newcomers of P Club are emerging in an endless stream, and every time they make a big shot, they can always become gods? ”

"It's scary, is this the birthplace of God? How can a casual newcomer make the game to this extent?

If I hadn't looked at the name, I would have thought it would have been made by Shinji Mikami or Hidetaka Miyazaki. ”

"It's just that Hideki Kamiya really hasn't heard of this person, but it's really legendary enough.

Pokeni's game, from Furuhara Tsubaki to Shinji Mikami, to Mika Ishino, Hidetaka Miyazaki, and now Hideki Kamiya...... It's really as long as you hang the producer's name, you will be a god as soon as you make a move.

Each one of them is extraordinary. ”

"I remember that Kamiya seems to have been the game planner of Princess Mononoke before, and Sei Chi Won seems to have mentioned this name when he was asked about the production process of Princess Mononoke during the interview."

"Ah, yes, yes, I think so, I'm a little impressed. So it seems that Hideki Kamiya is not a newcomer, right? I'll just say, how can you play Monster Hunter There is a sense of déjà vu, it turns out that the producer used to be the planner of Princess Mononoke. ”

"It's not surprising that this doesn't seem to be surprising, it's obvious that people are better at Princess Mononoke and have a certain amount of development experience before they were entrusted by Mikami to be the producer of Monster Hunter, right?"

"Uh-huh, that's right."

"But even if this is the case, it's actually quite remarkable, not only is Hideki Kamiya amazing, but he has been able to grow in such a short period of time, and Pokeni's ability to cultivate talents is really amazing."

"Yes, yes, how many god-level producers have been cultivated by Pokeni."

"The birthplace of God can only be understood in this way."

……

In short, with the popularity of "Monster Hunter", Hideki Kamiya can also be regarded as emerging and has become another new producer of Pokeni.

The monthly sales volume exceeded one million.

This achievement may not be much for Pokeni, but for Qing Zhiyuan, it still exceeds his expectations, after all, although the first generation of Monster Hunter in the previous life was very famous and had a very unique combat system, but because some operations were too hardcore, the actual sales volume was not so much.

The first generation is the scale of hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, the fact that the current Monster Hunter can exceed one million sales is actually a surprise to Qing Zhiyuan.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, Qingzhiyuan has managed and built Pokeni quite well, whether it is at the technical level or at the art and design level, it has achieved the world's first level, and in this case, Monster Hunter has already opened the games of the same era even by relying on the graphics.

In addition, Qing Zhiyuan did not promote the game purely through tasks like the original generation, but adopted the plot and setting mode of the future "Monster Hunter: World", especially this section of the molten mountain dragon, which directly raised the sense of expectation of the game, and carried out a very good thread in the middle, so that players can always maintain their enthusiasm for the game.

In terms of networking, the networking function of the first generation of Monster Hunter in the previous life was actually not very good, on the one hand, because Capcom had no experience in the production of networked games, and also because the technical difficulty of the 3D game of the action type of Monster Hunter was much higher, and it was not so easy to complete.

And when Capcom made Monster Hunter, it went through some iterations halfway, and at first wanted to make it a large-scale online game, but later found that it was not able to do it, so it was changed to a single-player experience.

And then it occurred to me that I wanted to make it a small-scale multiplayer online game, so after a few changes along the way, there were actually some problems with the core architecture.

So after the monster hunted out the online function, all kinds of bugs emerged in endlessly, even if Capcom tinkered for a long time and couldn't completely solve it, and then in the second generation, it simply refactored it from the underlying architecture, which was slightly better.

And now, Qing Zhiyuan, who has a lot of experience in online game production, will not make mistakes in this basic detail at all, and the underlying architecture of the game he planned from the beginning is very advanced.

Otherwise, the programmer ape boss in his previous life would be in vain.

So it is precisely because of the control of Qing Zhiyuan, whether it is Monster Hunter or the company's game platform, there is no problem at all in the online effect, as long as the network speed keeps up, it is quite smooth.

In LAN battles, players can also experience a hearty multiplayer cooperative battle mode.

More advanced game development technology, coupled with game design from the future, and the most powerful art team today, to create a world-class game, it is difficult not to think about it.

This game combines neon and Omi aesthetics in terms of art style, so it sells quite well in both neon and Omi regions.

Dimensionality reduction strikes belong to yes.
